The tool makes it so much easier to reach those bushes and hedges that were too hard to reach. They also find it easy through their acre yard, great for a long reach and new growth on a shrub.

They say it works great for tall bushes, while others say that the advertised length was very misleading.

The handle is long. As a short woman, if the handle is in the upright position, it reaches my shoulder (I'm 5'2). But I don't think you would use it in that position on the ground anyway.
It is a little unwieldy, but I think that is to be expected for this type of tool due to the length. But that length allows you to reach up high and also allows you to go deep into weeds and still keep your distance from any snakes or such that could be there. I felt much safer using this than reaching into the weeds to clip things.
I am a 60 something, unathletic woman and I was able to use this. It is a little weighty but not terrible. I could definitely feel it in my arms and shoulders, but not for long. I was also able to reach up in some bushes and whack at some top growth. I would say it has a good balance to it as far as the weight goes.
I gave out before the battery did. It was hot and I had to quit. I will do more work tomorrow. I was impressed that the battery lasted. When I plugged it up to recharge it, it didn't take long at all which makes me think I hadn't used much of the battery up. (Initial charging took a little while).
This is much faster than using hand clippers and works better for all the overgrowth I have.
I am really glad I got it and am very happy with it.
I have several tall, large shrubs that are in the 8-10ft height range. I trim these shrubs 1-2 times a year. I was tired of using a ladder to trim these shrubs the taller they get as I'm an older female and ladders are risky plus a safety concern, so after reviewing various options decided to once again go with B&D as this pole trimmer was in my budget plus I already have several 20v max batteries that I could use.
This pole trimmer is sturdy and easy to use. Not a lot of vibration felt through the pole. Also, not overly noisy.
Assembly was quick and easy as you just snap together the trimmer and pole sections and tighten the locking collar.
I like that it has various angles that can be set to meet all trimming angles.
However, I agree with other reviews that it is top heavy when using it over head especially near its maximum height. A strap would really help balance it better. Since its top heavy I found that my arms tired easily as i don't have a lot of upper arm strength, so had to take breaks every so often during the process of trimming my 12 large shrubs. Also I found that several times I've had to re-tighten the locking collar that secures the trimmer to the pole which loosened a couple of times during use.
I like that this trimmer was able to smoothly cut thru most thicker woody branches that were close to 1/2" better than my Craftsman electric 14" trimmer.
The pole also comes with a section that is wrapped in foam that makes it comfortable to hold.
I did find that in tight areas its cumbersome to use due to length. My shrubs are planted along the front wall of my house with only 1-3ft of clearance space between the shrubs and wall so maneuvering the trimmer was a bit cumbersome, due to space constraints when trimming the back side of these shrubs but not a deal breaker for me.
Overall, I'm happy with this hedge pole trimmer's quality, price, sturdiness and durability.
I took the advice of another reviewer and tried using this to also take down tall weeds. It worked wonderfully for that. I was able to avoid taking out the mower for a section of weeds, as, in a few minutes, this trimmer was able to cut them down and make the yard look "decent" until next week.
As for its intended purpose, the trimmer cuts hedges nicely. It was able to trim through fairly thick hedges (I would estimate at least 1/2 inch) with relative ease. I was also able to trim palmetto trees/plants, easily. The extension allowed me to cut the dead branches closer to the trunk without having to get all up in the bush. A huge advantage.
Finally, my concerns about having to get two trimmers (the pole and the regular one) were for naught, because this pole trimmer isn't "that" long, and is easily able to be used for regular trimming. I just hold it further up on the pole with my second hand for stability, while operating the trigger with my other hand.
Again, it is a little heavy and the weight balance is a little awkward, but nothing that can't be dealt with for a half hour at a time (if you plan to do more than 30 minutes of trimming at a time, you probably need a corded one).
As for battery power, I purchased the one without a battery because I have a 4.0 Ah battery that came with my string trimmer and blower: Black & Decker LCC420 String Trimmer and Sweeper Lithium Ion Combo Kit, 20-volt - I did about 30 minutes of trimming, and used the blower for about 10 minutes, and the battery still had power, so no complaints there.
Overall, very happy with the pole trimmer. Also, wasn't expecting it to come with a protective scabbard, so I was happy to see that it came with that. I would definitely recommend this to anyone that currently has to use a ladder for hedge trimming.
Feel free to leave a question in the comments and I will do my best to answer.

UPDATE: I have been using it for over a year, and love it!
You also need strong arms and upper body, because the thing is VERY heavy, especially the upper half, where the motor is situated.
The tool itself is very good, but for bigger stronger people than I!
