Customer Review: Cuts well, up to coneflowers and BE Susans
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this shrubber. It worked very well on a late fall cut-back of the following: coreopsis, black-eyed Susans, coneflowers, salvia, daylilies, and small perennial grasses.
It worked on my small asters as well, but the stems of the large asters were too big and it would not cut them. It did not work on larger grasses, either. I would say it definitely works on stems up to a pencil's width, but it cannot handle stems that approach the size of one of those fat crayons for very small children.
I also tried it on my taxus evergreen bushes, but I did not find the cut clean enough for me there, so I think I will stick to manual pruners for them.
I did not find the battery life to be an issue. The unit is heavier than electric grass shears, so I found that my arm was tired before the battery died anyway. Sometimes I wished the blade was longer, but overall I would not opt for more weight just to get a longer blade.
I would definitely recommend this product over cordless grass shears; it does a great job on a variety of larger plants. I am very glad to have it. It is not a complete solution--I will still be using my large corded unit for my large grasses, asters, and other plants--but it is a significant help.
