I chose this hedger based on Consumer Reports. I used it for 4 hours trimming a 100' long 12' high holly hedge. It performed well and easily cut through even the thicker branches. My one disappointment was the room within the inside space of the handle. I like to lock the trigger, then slide my hand back so I don't bump the trigger which would unlock it. Another brand I have used makes this easy... however the other brand breaks after 3 years use. When I lock the trigger, I have to awkwardly hold the outside of the handle, because there's no free space to slide my hand back. This made for a less natural fit as I cut for 4 hours. Time will tell if this hedger lasts longer than the other brand I've used in the past.
