3.0 out of 5 starsWorks well, but at a cost...

Dislike: awkward length and weight balancing.
This is not your 75 yr old Poppa's bush trimmer. Unless he's young for his age, and can pop zits on his face by doing arm curls.
It's heavy, for starters. Even with the large amount of ABS holding it together, it's hefty.
Second, when I folded the head over, my forearms were quick to let me know this position wasn't going to last.
It became obnoxious to work with.
Third: The design of the safety lock out. If you lose your grip in any way, the very light, tactile pull trigger will disconnect.
Like: sheer cutting power and battery life.
I took down about 25 foot of interweaving, stiff and dead creeping brush, about 6 foot high and easily a foot in density. There was some see-saw back n forth, but it hugged it's way through well enough.
But I was dead tired by the end of it.
If this machine was a little lighter, with more rearward bias, it'd be 4 stars, maybe 5
