Electric hedge trimmer recommendations?

Hi Guys, A friend of mine is looking for an electric hedge trimmer. She isnt intending on any major heavy duty trimming...just some trained forsythias that she would like too keep under control. She asked my opinion on a Little Wonder model 1920 but I know absolutely nothing about these matters.  Durability is her prime concern, and the weight being another. Is there a quality brand electric on the market? Does anyone own one that they are happy with? Thanks guys.  |

enough hope to make you happy.

Rob, She went with the Little Wonder 1920. I am sure Mrs. 'lint will borrow it and give it a good test run. We have 200' of privots and I have tried too hook her up all of the gas powered trimmers that I have access too. The Stihl products are all too heavy. The little Homelite and Poulon's are light enough...but they dont seem too hold up very well. (At least the ones I see coming thru the shop.) Although Mrs. 'lint is perfectly happy with manual trimmers....she is starting too develope huge Popeye arms and she accidently crushes my beer cans whenever I ask her too fetch me one. Electric trimmers seems too be the way too go. Thanks for your help guys.

Be glad that she has the beer cans to crush ...
