Review: VERY USEFUL POLE TRIMMER USED ALONGSIDE ANOTHER RYOBI HEDGETRIMMER - I am keen Ryobi ONE+ cordless ONE+ battery fan, owning many Ryobi tools using third party batteries =- 4-5.5A. In the main the Ryobi garden tools are light to use (I am not keen on heavy petrol garden machines – I don’t have loads of upper body strength nor strong wrists nor keen on handling fuel nor inhaling the fumes n or fighting with tools that won’t start etc etc).. A challenge is to understand the different Ryobi battery hedge trimmers on offer - and how to choose... We have some 300 feet of hedges on our main track alone – and other areas too - as we live on what was a farm. I am in my late 50s so tools must be light and without cords too. Our requirement is beyond the average cut in most gardens. We cut at least twice a year depending on growth. BACKGROUND: In 2017 I bought a Ryobi OHT1850X cordless extended reach hedge trimmer – ONE system battery. At the time I bought this as a compromise which I thought would work. I didn’t feel that I needed a pole trimmer and felt a standard hedge trimmer wouldn’t have enough reach. I changed my view in 2019. See below. However after 2 and a half years heavyish use the 1850HX motor burnt out, lots of smoke. In fact it had smoked a couple of times shortly after purchase in 2017 when I realised the motor didn’t seem to cut out adequately when it jammed (inevitable) – ie reached a branch slightly too tough to cut etc. I stuck with it. From that point on I was very careful and tried hard not to jam it. Also, the grey handle in the middle came loose a couple of times during my use. I had to screw it back in. The 1850 HX never seemed very powerful . It also seemed unwieldy, overall a design too compromised although it gives you some extra reach, not huge amount in my view after much use. In retrospect before the motor finally burnt out I felt it never quite worked for me overall. However I felt the machine had given back reasonable value – it has done a lot of work - and given I am bought into Ryobi ONE anyway so I considered what to replace it with in the Ryobi ONE range. REASON FOR PURCHASE IN 2019: I needed a replacement and decided to buy two machines: a Ryobi pole hedge trimmer OPT1845 (ONE system battery again) AND a more standard hedge trimmer OHT1855R (ONE system battery again). That was the right decision. To me these seem much better designed machines to the 1850HX – less prone to jamming and I suspect the motors do/will more quickly cut out if jamming is a threat - ie that aspect of motor design may have improved – Ryobi don’t say that but that’s how it seems to me. Time will tell. Both machines seem superior in design and complement each other well. The 45cm Pole trimmer has lots of reach. I have used the extension pole (ie 2.9 metres reach) and this longest length is not easy to manoeuvre but with practice it is very usable for short periods. It is heavy and does strain your arms. Without the pole the reach is still good - and somewhat easier/lighter to use - but you need to set it up for the length you need, of course at the time. We have areas of height and width that require the longest reach. This device works well in my view. This 45cm pole trimmer doesn’t seem to have a smoky breakdown if it jams a moment. I think the design of that aspect is better than my old 1850HX Likewise the OHT1855R has same attribute – feels more able to just stop and not smoke (!) and the reach of 55cm is very good. This is a very light machine, ideal for me with lots of hedging etc. I haven’t used the rotating handle just yet. The ‘Hedgetrimmer Sweep’ feature is useful too. However the priority here has always been to just have trimmers that work / last etc – I am not after the very highest quality finish. The finish is good / very good and that is fine by us. Our replacement trimmers seem to have the capability of ‘sawing’ through thicker stems too. These tools will last a fair time on the larger 5 amp batteries (third party I use), say 30-45 minutes pretty much continuous use. That aspect is no problem if you have 2-3 batteries. I have 6, more than enough as I need a break too! I use a Ryobi self propelled petrol mower for now and await a good Ryobi battery equivalent. I think that could be a long wait. I need a genuinely strong and durable battery machine and think it will be many years before one will be on sale. Review: It's nice and long but rather awkward and top heavy - This is VERY heavy and not particularly well balanced, being top heavy. It's very powerful and cuts the hedge. However I think the hedge sweeper is only any use for light hedges such as privet, otherwise it gets stuck on awkward branches. The dual safety buttons are awkward to press so once on, I suggest you do as much as you can in one sweep. The length is fine, but it definitely not something to use up a ladder. I have a short Ryobi hedge trimmer as well and personally I think it's more useful. Having said all this, I'm very pleased with the Ryobi kit I have - mower, strimmer and the two hedge cutters and the battery is powerful and lasts well ## Features - Easily cuts through hedges and branches - 45cm diamond ground blades for clean cutting - Capable of cutting large branches with 18mm blade gap - 115 degrees articulating cutting head with 4 positions for versatile trimming - Removable extension shaft for full length of 2.9m for extended reach tasks - Includes Blade sheath, shoulder strap - Part of the ONE+ system-sold as a zero tool, without battery and charger ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01ATH87GC | | Best Sellers Rank | 2,149 in Garden ( See Top 100 in Garden ) 12 in Hedge Trimmers | | Blade Length | 45 Centimetres | | Blade Material | Diamant | | Blade length | 45 Centimetres | | Brand | RYOBI | | Brand Name | RYOBI | | Colour | Green, Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 2,894 Reviews | | Cutting width | 18 Millimeters | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04892210138521 | | Included Components | Battery | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 113.8L x 215W x 195H centimetres | | Item Type Name | ONE+ 18V Pole Hedge Trimmer [Zero Tool] | | Item Weight | 5.6 Kilograms | | Item weight | 5.6 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Ryobi | | Manufacturer Part Number | OPT1845 | | Material Type | Rubber | | Model Number | OPT1845 | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Power source | Battery Powered | | Product dimensions | 113.8L x 215W x 195H centimetres | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Voltage | 18 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** RYOBI - **Colour:** Green, Black - **Item weight:** 5.6 Kilograms - **Power source:** Battery Powered - **Product dimensions:** 113.8L x 215W x 195H centimetres ## Images ![Ryobi ONE+ 18V OPT1845 Cordless Pole Hedge Trimmer, 45cm Blade (Body Only) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51VLygCu-hL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ VERY USEFUL POLE TRIMMER USED ALONGSIDE ANOTHER RYOBI HEDGETRIMMER *by G***K on 16 August 2019* I am keen Ryobi ONE+ cordless ONE+ battery fan, owning many Ryobi tools using third party batteries =- 4-5.5A.

It's very powerful and cuts the hedge. However I think the hedge sweeper is only any use for light hedges such as privet, otherwise it gets stuck on awkward branches. The dual safety buttons are awkward to press so once on, I suggest you do as much as you can in one sweep. The length is fine, but it definitely not something to use up a ladder. I have a short Ryobi hedge trimmer as well and personally I think it's more useful. Having said all this, I'm very pleased with the Ryobi kit I have - mower, strimmer and the two hedge cutters and the battery is powerful and lasts well ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Heavy and unwieldy, but very effective *by P***N on 4 September 2024* I have a high hedge surrounding the rear of my property, with the addition of a few independent conifers. The rearmost hedge is a particular challenge as it is primarily mature holly, which is difficult to handle. Having watched professionals cutting a yew hedge at a National Trust property recently, I realised that this tool was the way to go. I am however getting old, with arthritis in my shoulders exacerbated by an old injury, and the tool is not so much heavy as unwieldy, especially with the extension piece fitted. The strap doesn't help much either, but it makes trimming the hedges and conifer tops a simple, if somewhat tiring, operation. Having read some other reviews prior to purchase I decided to forego the Ryobi battery option and purchased a pair of 3rd party batteries and charger for less money than a single Ryobi battery. Whether this will prove a sensible option, only time will tell, but there have been no problems so far. The batteries have each provided ample power for as much hedge cutting as I feel inclined to do, without running out of power. This is an excellent, well made product which I hope will provide many more years of garden maintenance. ## Frequently Bought Together - Ryobi ONE+ 18V OPT1845 Cordless Pole Hedge Trimmer, 45cm Blade (Body Only), Green, Black - Ryobi RB18L50 ONE+ Lithium+ 5.0Ah Battery, 18 V - Ryobi RC18120 18V ONE+ Compact Charger, Hyper Green, 2.0Ah --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/47958458-ryobi-one-18v-opt1845-cordless-pole-hedge-trimmer-45cm-blade](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/47958458-ryobi-one-18v-opt1845-cordless-pole-hedge-trimmer-45cm-blade) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-06-03*
