Pros
- 4-cycle engine runs on straight gas, so there is no oil mixing
- Cuts branches up to 1-1/8 in, the most of any trimmer here
- Rotating rear handle locks at 0, 90 and 180 degrees for side cuts
- By far the cheapest gas hedge trimmer here
Cons
- Not sold in California
- At 11 lb it is heavy for long overhead sessions
- 4-cycle engine needs oil changes like a lawn mower
