Pretty good, but not Makita's most cost effective hedge trimmer.
Overall, very happy with the Makita DUH601. It is light, quiet in operation, easy to handle and can cut stems and branches up to a decent size. It will also provide a surprising amount of cutting time before you have to change the battery, even if your using a 3.0 or 4.0Ah battery pack. The twistable body is a neat feature and the reverse direction function is also useful in the event that the blade jams for some reason.
I can't give it full marks however becuase although it is better than the Makita DUH523, the difference in price is difficult to justify. I have used both models and the DUH601 is, I would say, 20 to 25% better but it costs nearly three times the price.

Deservingly a class leading Android tablet at launch & is still good now
The good points:
The superb high resolution screen is excellent and reacts quickly to touch inputs. Although it no longer has the fastest processor, it appears to handle most tasks, including playback of HD video, without any problems and it is compatible with most audio and video formats out of the box. It doesn't have the classy metal casing of the iPad, but the textured plastic body is easy to hold and isn't too heavy. Battery life is decent given the size of screen.
The bad points:
It would be nice if the bezel around the screen was a bit narrower, reducing its overall size and a memory expansion slot would be a welcome feature too. Maybe its replacement will tick those two boxes!?
Had previously fed birds with the more expensive meal worms and they didn't seem to take to the calciworms straight away. But after about 2 months they are now feeding as normal,
