I'm not satisfied with Hedge Hog cordless hedge trimmer because of the slow speed and the fact that the batteries are unsatisfactory. I have used every outlet in my home and garage to charge the batteries hoping that it would make a difference. I have charged the batteries for days at a time and it makes no difference. I usually can cut ONE or TWO boxwood shrubs PER CHARGE. 

Please shop around.....I believe I would rather go electric than deal with this inferior product.
