Community Reviews
This EGO 56 volt 26 inch hedge trimmer stands out for strong cutting power, long battery life, and the rotating handle and adjustable angle that make hedge shaping easier. The included 2.5 amp hour battery is reported to run about 45 to 60 minutes and recharge in under an hour, with enough power for thick shrubs and even some limbs around 1.5 to 2 inches. The main caution is weight, and thicker overgrown branches can stall it and damage the blade. It is best suited to bushes and regular hedge work rather than heavy brush.
Common Questions (5)
It cuts thick shrubs easily and can handle limbs around 1.5-2 inches in some cases, but it can stall on larger overgrown branches and damage the blade. For anything over about 1/4 inch, heavier-duty cutters are the safer choice.
The older model is 2 inches shorter and has less cut capacity. That makes the 26-in version better for larger hedges, while the 24-in bare-tool models can be cheaper if you do not need the included battery and charger.
It can run about 45-50 minutes continuously on the included 2.5Ah battery, with another report of roughly an hour of runtime. The battery also recharges in under an hour, so it's practical for repeated hedge-trimming sessions.
Yes. The rotating handle is a standout feature, and the adjustable angle helps when shaping hedges evenly on all sides.
It is not lightweight, which is the main drawback called out. The power and runtime are strong, but the weight can make longer trimming sessions more tiring.
