 Awesome tool.... August 3, 2007

UPDATE 2/18/2010:
Just to update, I have used this to cut through very thick ivy, etc., and it is still going, and cutting fairly well. I should also note that I have not maintained this at all. I have not cleaned or oiled the blades, etc., and it still works very well. I am VERY pleased with this and recommend it VERY highly
This is a really great trimmer. It handles thick branches very well. I cut half inch branches easily enough. It is well balanced, and I was even able to use it with one hand when I really had to stretch (I would not recommend this, as it is a bit dangerous). One thing that many people do not consider with these electric tools, sometimes, the extension cord releases easily. This is not the case here, I am happy to report. I am very happy I bought this. It makes my hedge trimming very easy. It is easy to maneuver, and I think you will be very happy using this product.
June 2008 addition:
Okay, almost a year has passed and this thing is still going strong. It cuts like butter....still. It is easily the best garden tool purchase I have made, and I have made some good ones. It does not bog down unless the branches are REALLY thick (read: do not fit between the teeth completely). Look no further and buy this trimmer. It's just great....the only annoyance is that the plug comes out easily using my new extension cord.....ehem....it seems while I was using the trimmer to clear out more ivy than anyone can imagine, the cord got hidden underneath some of the iyv I had not reached and when I did get to it I might not have been.....ehem....paying as much attention.....cough, cough....as I should have, and, well, you know, ehem, the trimmer stopped working. When I looked down I saw the cord was still plugged into the trimmer, but then I noticed the dangling piece of cord about 8 feet down and am happy to report that if needed this thing will cut through a 12 gauge extension cord with ease and better than any wire cutter! Luckily for me, I did not get any kind of shock, etc., (of course, it was plugged into a GFCI outlet). That's the good news. The bad news is I threw out the extension cord which, at 100 feet, costs almost what the trimmer cost. The good news is my friend later informed me that it is an easy fix to splice the wires back together. Bad news is, he told me this AFTER the garbage men took the garbage.....Lesson learned, and I only mention this in the hopes that everyone who reads this takes better care than I did. All joking aside, this could have had a completely different ending, and I am quite lucky to be able to edit this review. I can only imagine what might have happened if I were standing in a puddle, or something (I don't want to test the GFCI). So, since it only cost me a new extension cord, I figure I got away cheap. ;-)
Powerful Trimmer! January 2, 2007

Given it's light weight, this is a remarkably powerful machine. 1/4" branches are no problem at all. It is well balanced and light enough for one-handed operation when you are stretching to reach that elusive branch from your ladder. I am replacing a 12 year old B & D trimmer that finally died, so I am optimistic about the longevity of this one.
Long reach! January 3, 2007

Good balance for the long reach of this trimmer. Ample power to do the job, and the HH2450 makes it (relatively) easy in the doing. Best performance of any of several hedge trimmers I have used.
Thought I'd never buy another B & D product again ... July 26, 2007

B&D has gone down hill over the years, but could all these great reviews be wrong??? After looking at the specs and design I took a chance. It's still too early to know how much abuse it can take, but the average homeowner won't be disappointed. The maximum branch diameter is on the optimistic side as most are, but with a good extension cord, it will take 1/2" branches without a complaint. Runs far smoother and much quieter than those from the last millenium. They got this one right ... if you're a weekend yard warrior, or debating a gas model, save your money and give it a try.

I've been using gas powered hedgers for over 30 years and without a doubt for comparison purposes this electric one is the best of all for ease of use,less fatigue, quietness, good ballance, smooth operation, and overall quality of results. Just plug it in and start cutting. I've used it using extension cords up to 160 ft.(14 guage wire) cutting branches up to 3/8 in. in diameter without any noticeable loss of power.
