- In this video I give a full review and demonstration of the Makita DUH751Z hedge trimmer. In this particular example I have the DUH751RT kit which comes with the hedge trimmer plus a rapid battery charger and a 5amp hour battery. I explain and demonstrate the functions of the hedge trimmer, I cut a long hedge to show you how the tool performs and then I give you my thoughts on the tool, both good and bad.

Good Review, I just got mine yesterday and what a Beast, I heard it was heavy. I would caution the average homeowner like me with a modest amount of shrubs, this unit is likely overkill. Its heavy and the blade is quite long, which is good for larger straight trimming. I'm a tool guy and I admire the engineering and quality of this tool. Am I glad I got it yes, would I have gotten the smaller unit in retrospect, likely. It cuts beautifully with less tearing and a finer cut then my older unit I'm replacing, features like speed adjust are cool too. I would classify this as homeowner/commercial grade. When your cutting in tighter spaces though or having to manipulate the tool a lot it feels like it weighs 15lb, but actually weighs about 10. Maybe being 65 matters too, so working smarter not harder is my goal.
I'd agree with everything you said. Not a light machine for light use, but for a long hedge like mine, it makes light work...and builds up the muscles a touch! Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching.
What model would be advised if one step down from this one?
Great, no-nonsense review. It's clearly your personal opinion and some may disagree due to different personal preferences. I have the batteries so may go ahead with the purchase. It was good to see the demonstration and although my hedge is probably tougher than yours, I did notice that as well as all the fresh growth, you also seemed to have some tougher looking parts within your hedge!
Great video really enjoying the content. Cannot wait to see more on the loft conversion 👍
Thanks for the feedback. I'll get back to editing some loft footage soon. It's long overdue!
Love all your videos bud, your an inspiration. Keep it coming, respect ✊
Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching.
Thank you for your excellent review. Just ordered it... 👍 Have a nice day
Hope you enjoy it!
Just ordered one, thanks for explaining the code rt
Great review, fast and concise. Thanks
Thanks for the feedback.
Oh.....Neil....that's a lovely finish on that wall behind you! 👍🏼
Yes....and yes!
I have used the smaller Makita hedge trimmer for a few years doing gardening contracting. It's copped a thrashing. Nice and lite. It's in the shop for repair (still under warranty) for the second time, so I better get a bigger one. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the info and thanks for watching.
The bearings that connect the motor to the gears are made of cheese on these makitas
Excellent review! :) I just used one, this morning, that my son's friend lent to him. Very quiet, refined and smooth to use. Loved the soft start/variable speed. Didn't realise it had a jam release function; wish I'd known that; super idea! I like the revolving handle too. I'm 6' 4" but with my son's high hedge I needed to hold it inverted with the handle on the underside which gives considerably more reach; probably a foot, which is handy and wasn't awkward to do.
Wish they made a long reach version as my son's partner has her flower bed under the hedge so that long reach would allow standing on the path without pussyfooting through the flower bed AND make cutting the top easier too. Probably be too expensive for my wallet though and this isn't cheap either. £350 with charger and two batteries as of June2022!!
As a 'pre-death' DIYer I just make do with the cheapos. If you're a pro and/or have the money this is as good as it gets I suspect.
I'm glad I found your channel as you seem to have some useful info on it. Good effort!

This is the long reach hedge trimmer I used to cut my parents hedges when I was around 15yrs onwards. Brilliant piece of kit. Well-balanced; like me, when using the shoulder strap! Chains in tubes drive, and I found non-fatiguing to use. I now see that Teagle made their own engine; I had thought it was the popular 'mini-motor'. If I was younger I'd make one using exactly the same layout with the electric motor and battery where the engine used to be. The chain drive worked very well, toothed belt over aluminium extrusion would be lighter/better. 'Clutch' was by tightening and loosening the V belt drive. Happy days! :)

I like it and agree with all your comments. I did have one person comment and say it was poorly balanced and poor quality but I love mine and think it's great. Thanks for the feedback.👍
Great review thanks for posting .
No problem.
Thanks for the review 👍
No problem 👍 I use a lot of Makita tools so feel free to send me some tools and I will happily give them a review as well! 😉
Excellent review, thank you.
What hedge plant was featured in this review; I like its height & density?
Great review!
Thanks!
Great review. Thx
No problem!
Thanks appreciate the clarity on the 1Z and RT. So confusing and when you're spending £400 you somewhat want to know what you are getting.
Love that hedge trimmer💪💪💪 and i used alot of other profesional trimmers. This one is my go to
I've only used a few times but it makes light work of my hedge, love it! Thanks for watching.
Is this hedge trimmer better then the EGOs 24 inch hedge trimmer???
@@miketrotti4381 for me it is. Because the makita uses special blade geometry. And the little battery makes it a very light machine to work with. Plus the rotating rear handle. And the anti jam function
@@miketrotti4381 I've never tried that hedge trimmer sorry. Thanks for watching.
@@jules2cv thanks for answering this question!
Thanks Pouse 👌
No problem.
Looks like a good machine. I have a petrol ⛽ screwfix jobby at the minute.
Yes it's really good. Wouldn't know it's on a battery. Thanks for watching!
For those interested. The annoying auto off feature turns the tool off after just 60 seconds. I would consider this rules it out for regular professional use. On the positive side when you turn it back on it remembers your last speed setting.
Thanks for the feedback.
Beautiful , DUH751Z or STIHL HSA 86 , i will probably get DUH751Z
Best of luck with it!
How would this compare to the 40v version?
Great review thanks, just had mine delivered, now it’s raining 🤨
Hope you enjoy it....once it's dry.
Thankyou for your honest review, im very impressed with this bit of kit, I have a vast amount of makita tools and I'm currently in the market for a new hedge cutter, I might of missed you mention it but what would you say the the typical time the battery will last mate, thanks in advance
5amp hour on full speed was about an hour. It basically does a 35 to 40 meter length of privot hedge as seen in the video on full speed stop start. I keep one on charge just in case. It does start to feel heavy by the end of it but nice tool for larger hedges and trees. Hope that helps.
Brill! Thanks for that 😀
I think when you are down to one battery light on the charge level it goes down in speed
Had mine 6 months and the bearings failed on the motor cutting a box hedge. Pity because the blades are as good as my stihl and it's a heck of a lot lighter
I have a DUH523. the drive motor shaft diameter is just 3mm. Not surprisingly it has sheared.
I have the duh601 and only got about 30 hours use before the bearings went on the drive shaft .
Why would makita sell such rubbish
I’ve always been told to trim a hedge from the top down to stop it mushrooming over time. With a hedge that long what about a topiary steam train.😀
I'm no expert but I've been cutting this one for 7 years and it's still ok so who knows?! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for your video. What is the average run time with a 5.0Ah battery?
Not sure but mine do about 30 to 40 minutes flat out on that hedge trimmer. Thanks for watching.
Cracking review. Really solid insight into a potential future purchase. Looking at the cutting demo, it looks like a model that could face-off well against some of the Stihl models.
👍👍👍Thank you
Looking at buying one but just want to know when pressing all those buttons to start it,do I have to go through the whole process every time just to start it.
To turn it on you just hold the button and select your speed. It'll stay like that unless you leave it for a few minutes without touching it. Hope that helps.
The machine remembers the last setting, even with battery removed. So just press power button every time, easy. Unless like mine it breaks down every couple of weeks ha ha.
Not sure if I missed it. How long is the blade on your trimmer?
75cm hence the DUH75. Thanks for watching.
Mine died after 1 year 😔 I will get a different model next. The more simple brushless one.
How long does last the large 5Ah battery?
Think I mentioned that in the video, but it cut the whole of that hedge (approx 35m) on full speed and still had some juice. Hope that helps.
Had mine a while and will cut forever.
I hope so! It felt way more powerful than my corded trimmer. Very happy with it. Thanks for the feedback!
What is the difference between the duh 571&572
Think it might be the same, just a different country so different model number. Thanks for watching.
i think one is a kit version Batt+charger
It is actually the blades that are different. The duhxx1 series have curved blades, the duhxx2 have the "normal" blades. Supposedly the curved blades reduce friction, and thus reduce noise and increase battery life.
Why not do a playlist of all your reviews?
I have. Go to my channel, click on playlist, tool reviews. They're all there. Thanks for watching.
@@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE Are you sure it's public? I did look for one before I commented. Still can't see it now.
@@jamesrodgers3132 Yes, go to playlists, then click arrow to open up the whole play list folder. Keep scrolling down until you find 'tool reviews'. Hope that helps.
@@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE I've been trying the arrow on the right-most playlist. That shows 12 altogether. Found that I have to click on the "Created playlists" title text itself to see the folder. Found it now. Thanks. Yet another thing I've learned on your channel.
@@jamesrodgers3132 glad you found this. Interesting to know it was tricky. RUclips seem to change the way things work from time to time. That seems a little long winded! Hope you're enjoying the tool reviews.
I have the same trimmer, it's a great machine to use. But it's broken down twice now and I've owned it for less than two months. So I love it when it's working, but not impressed with the durability.
what happened to it?
@@davidburden2360 broken spindle and then it wouldn't switch on.
@@davidbennett1992 hmmm receipt warranty take it bac
k
@@davidburden2360 oh yes, it's been back twice now.
@@davidbennett1992 holy ship mate thats no good, a freak event
We suddenly see that next doors have a Pergola
Indeed they have. It puts my garden to shame! Thanks for watching. 👍
@@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE How good is the Makita hedge trimmer as opposed to a petrol unit?
Prise kya hai

Hopefully...you don't have to trim that hedge very often!
I've got it down to twice a year! Thanks for watching.

@Sky surfer thanks for watching.
I bought one of these after seeing this review and its one of the worse balance and awkward hedge trimmer Ive use. I gave it my Son who is a Tree surgeon and ground maintenance contractor and after using several times has formed the same opinion and wont use it any more..
Most disappointing.
Really sorry to hear that. I still enjoy using it. As DIYer maybe I don't have enough experience of 'professional' tools but I think it cuts well and fast' and of course I already have tge makita batteries for my other tools. I'd be interested to know what your son uses and recommends given he does this on a daily basis. Thanks for the feedback.
The smaller cheaper brushless 600mm is way more comfortable to handle. It has about 80% the power of this bigger one.
I don't want to see your face all the time I want to see the machine
Apologies, I agree the machine is easier on the eye!!
