Ryobi RY18HT55A-0 18V ONE+ Cordless 55cm Hedge Trimmer (Bare Tool)

I purchased this May 2025 and thought I'd finally leave a review. It's lightweight and convenient plus well made also I have had no issues with the way it performs, what I do like is the "sweep" attachment as it removes any of the cut hedge off the top instead of having to try and pick them off, and I don't have the worry of going through a cable I can cut my entire hedge with a single charged 4.0ah battery.

Great machine, cuts reasonably thick branches, however it's not built for heavy stuff. Gets through approximately 10mm branches with ease. Batteries last well. Well worth the money.

Good quality and light to use. No messing about with fuel. Cuts OK

Well designed and manufactured, powerful and with an ingenious variation in cutter size towards the end of the blades increasing cutting ability.

This tool works well for trimming leafy hedges and shrubs, including privet and laurel, but even some woodier plants like hawthorn and holly. It cuts cleanly through most things that fit into the blades and on the couple of occasions it hit an obstruction it couldn't cut, it stopped very quickly so didn't get jammed. The weight and length means it is easy to control and manoeuvre. The swappable battery system adds to the versatility but even with only a 2.0Ah battery installed it lasts through a couple of hours of start-stop use in the garden. I also have a bigger Ryobi pole hedge trimmer, but this simple non-pole trimmer is much more wieldy, lasts longer on the same batteries, and can do most of the same work in combination with a ladder, so it ends up getting more use.

have several other ryobi products all working well so is this one

Not sure it’s as powerful or solid as my old heavy cabled version, but it’s a dam site lighter and quicker in set up, use and packing away. I’d say that’s a win.

An excellent alance of power and usability are happily combined in this Ryobi hedge trimmer.My hedges total approximately 30-40 metres, multiply this by three for outside top and inside of the hedging and yhis trimmer manages all on a 2ah battery. The sweeper attachment does ots job on the top of the hede stopping the cuttings cluttering up the appearance. For the vertical faces it is best removed as it does not hold any cuttings at this angle. This is a good quality, very well made, gardening tool and easily beats my previous Flymo hedger (I cut the cable on this many times). I would have no trouble with reccomending this trimmer to anyone interested in acquiring such a tool. It does help if yu are part of the Ryobi hemisere of course.

One of the best battery hedge trimmers I've had good value for money
