Earthwise 20" Cordless Pole Hedge Trimmer — 20V 2.0Ah Battery, 8'10" Reach, 20" Dual-Action Blade

The Earthwise LPHT12022 is a battery-powered 20" pole hedge trimmer that provides cordless reach up to 8'10" and cleanly cuts branches up to 5/8" thick using a 20V 2.0Ah lithium-ion battery and fast charger.

This lightweight, planet-friendly pole trimmer from Earthwise (ALM series) pairs a dual-action 20" blade with an adjustable extension pole so you can trim high hedges and hard-to-reach branches without climbing ladders or mixing gas and oil. The kit includes the 20V 2.0Ah battery and a fast charger, plus a protective blade cover for safe storage. Designed for homeowners who want a quieter, lower-maintenance alternative to gas-powered trimmers, the LPHT12022 balances cutting power, runtime, and portability.

How far can I reach and what heights will this trimmer handle?

The telescoping pole offers six position settings and extends the tool to a maximum reach of 8'10", letting most users trim taller hedges from the ground. With the trimmer mounted, the effective cutting height is approximately 9'5" for an average user standing on level ground.

• Maximum extended reach: 8'10" from the trimmer base to blade tip
• Effective trimming height: up to about 9'5" (varies with user height)
• Six adjustable pole positions for angled cutting and comfortable handling
• Lightweight design reduces arm fatigue during overhead work

What sort of branches and hedges can it cut?

The dual-action 20" blade is designed to slice through woody stems and shrub branches up to 5/8" thick. Dual-action blades reduce vibration and create cleaner cuts, which helps maintain neat hedge lines on ornamental shrubs and small branches.

• 20" dual-action blade for smoother, straighter cuts
• Maximum branch capacity: 5/8" (about 16 mm)
• Blade cover included for safe storage and transport
• Best for hedges, shrubs, and light limb shaping rather than heavy tree limbs

How long will the battery run and how quickly does it recharge?

The LPHT12022 arrives with a 20V 2.0Ah lithium-ion battery that balances runtime and weight. Because job length depends on branch thickness and cutting intensity, expect shorter sessions on dense growth and longer use on trimmed ornamental hedges; the fast charger reduces downtime between jobs.

• Included battery: 20V 2.0Ah lithium-ion
• Fast charger included to shorten recharge time compared with standard chargers
• Battery swaps available from Earthwise-compatible packs for extended work sessions
• Electric design eliminates fuel mixing and reduces maintenance needs

Is it durable and safe to store?

Earthwise designed the pole trimmer for residential use with a focus on durability and safe handling. A protective blade cover is supplied for storage and transport, and a compact, cordless layout reduces vibration and eliminates the hazards of fuel and exhaust.

• Protective blade cover included for safe storage and transport
• 2-year warranty on electrical components and 1-year battery warranty
• Dual-action blade lowers vibration for steadier control
• No oil or gas required—cleaner and simpler upkeep

Who is this for: The Earthwise LPHT12022 is targeted at homeowners and hobby gardeners who need a practical, low-maintenance tool to shape hedges, trim tall shrubs, and reach higher branches safely from the ground. It suits users who prioritize quieter operation, reduced upkeep, and an eco-friendlier alternative to small gasoline engines, while still needing solid cutting performance for routine yard care.
