Look at blade length, battery voltage and capacity (Ah), and the maximum branch thickness it can handle. Ergonomics and weight are also important, especially for longer sessions.
Yes, if you want better balance, longer durability, and access to a larger battery system. But there are also budget-friendly options that work great for smaller gardens.
Most hedge trimmers can handle branches up to 15–25 mm thick. For thicker ones, consider using a pruning saw or a more powerful model.
