Ryobi ONE+ HP Brushless Hedge Trimmer

Yes, it features a 3/4-inch cutting capacity, which is sufficient for most standard residential hedges and moderate overgrowth. However, it is designed for trimming foliage rather than heavy-duty pruning of thick, woody branches.

With a standard 2Ah battery, you can expect about 25 minutes of continuous runtime. If you have larger hedges or a bigger yard, you may want to keep a spare battery charged or use a higher-capacity battery from the 18V ONE+ system.

The brushless motor is more efficient, meaning it delivers more power to the blades while consuming less battery energy. It also tends to run cooler and last longer than brushed motors, resulting in a more consistent cutting performance over time.

Yes, this trimmer is part of the Ryobi 18V ONE+ system. Any 18V battery you already own for other Ryobi tools will work with this hedge trimmer.

The 22-inch blade provides a good balance between reach and maneuverability. It is ideal for standard-height hedges, though you may need a ladder or a pole trimmer if you are regularly maintaining hedges that are significantly taller than your reach.
