Craftsman 22 in. Electric Hedge Trimmer Review

I purchased this trimmer primarily on the recommendation of **************** (not the first time CR has led me in the wrong direction). The blade cuts well, no disappointment there. But I found the trimmer to be awkward to use in high and tight places, and it is heavy and loud (use ear protection for sure). If I had the decision to make again, I would shop around a bit more. The price was great and it cuts well, but the other factors make this purchase a disappointment.  Sears should consider a redesign to address consistent consumer criticisms of this trimmer....and ****************....that's another story.
