The important thing to establish is how long the battery lasts on a full charge

I have the little one with the 2 attachments. I have used the hedge attachment for our coprosma hedges but haven't tried it on our griselinias. I did try it on our neighbours little coleonema hedge but the growth was too soft so it didn't work. I find the straight blade a bit more versatile, good for doing lawn edges, and it works well for trimming our little ficus creeper.

We have changed, at work, from petrol to battery, tho they are Sthil brand. They get a lot of use, stand up to it and the batteries last at least a day. Much lighte, quieterr and environmentally friendly too.

I have the same one & it's great for all sorts of things around my garden (I've even been known to prune a rambler rose with it, with no ill effects to the rose) & the battery charge lasts for ages, but it is newish.

You name it, we use it it on most things unless the branches are too thick. Will cut up to almost 1/2" thick as long as they are not too hard. Hebes, Corokia, Coprosma, Griselinia, Camellias and many others.
