This cuts fast, the battery life is amazing and it is a little heavy but manageable. It sounds kind of wimpy but isn't. I'd say it handles pencil sized branches.
Edit: bigger than pencil sized as long as it is moving when you hit it. Did a huge sticker bush, some blackberries, some decretive bushes, still on the same 5 amp battery.
Oh, for you guys like me, who look at the directions after they have used the tool, they recommend putting a coat of machine oil on the blade before you use it and after every hour of use. I'll probably just spray it with WD40. Edit: which seems to work fine and a lot easier than coating it with something that doesn't spray.
I did notice upon close-up inspection that the angle of the blade teeth is much finer and more fragile (for fast & delicate work) compared to my 30 year old plug-in B&D which has held it's edge better.
This blade is best for light cutting of live soft hedges.
Anything over the 0.375 inches maximum diameter that they specify in the manual or hard dead branches should probably cut by hand pruning shears (even though the opening between the teeth allows 0.60 inches).
This is a great hedge trimmer and will make very quick work of hedges, but probably not the best for cutting back any harder or larger hemlock or spruce tree branches.
Hope this helps!
Enjoy!

Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2024
The tool is light, cuts anything its teeth can get around, and is very quiet as well.
The trimmer cut like butter and cut through 5/8” diameter hard woody branches effectively. I read in other reviews that the blades were made of soft medal with the edges easily damaged. The blades may be made of “softer” medal allowing for the truly sharp edges. I’ll be taking it to a sharpening shop when the need arises. A replacement blade costs about $100…
The safety mechanisms are similar to a chain saw. Many reviewers had issues with the multiple safeties on it, I do not. The unit is fairly light and maneuverable, comfortable to operate. The cuts were nice and clean. I would never recommend one handed operation with a sharp tool like this. Always use the right tool for the job.
I’ll update my review after I’ve given it a true workout over time.
At this point, would definitely recommend
👍👍

I like the quality of the tool, its light and the cutters are ground like scissors.
My only problem is some clever marketing regarding strokes per minute. A 2700 stroke per minute motor doesnt equal a 2700 stroke per minute hedge trimmer.
I paid $100 more for this model over the DUH523 just because the mention 2700spm but I cant be bothered with a fight so I will keep it, it does a nice job even if only 1350spm so hence the 3 stars.
Its quite possible XHU stands for China where its made.
