What reviewers found
Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.
Across the reviewers we read, the BLACK+DECKER LHT2220 is the budget benchmark in this category. At roughly $79 with battery and charger included, it has accumulated more than 7,000 Amazon reviews at a 4.7 average, and verified-purchase reviewers on homedepot.com and lowes.com consistently describe it as lightweight, easy to assemble, and adequate for small-to-medium yard tasks. The 22" steel blade and ~3/4" cut capacity cover normal homeowner shrubs.
What reviewers liked
- Battery and charger included at a sub-$80 price point
- 7,000+ verified-purchase Amazon reviews at 4.7 stars provides a large consensus sample
- High-trust r/Tools commenters describe the motor as smoother and more capable than other budget alternatives
- Light weight and easy assembly repeatedly cited by homedepot.com and walmart.com verified-purchase reviewers
- Wrap-around front handle improves control on long sessions
Where it falls short
- r/Dewalt and r/landscaping threads consistently flag 20V trimmers as underpowered for woody branches
- Some r/homeowners commenters report short B+D yard-tool lifespan and have migrated to other platforms
- Stock battery is small — heavy users report needing a second pack
- No high-trust expert lab test of this specific SKU in the candidate signals

High-trust specialist-community signal is supportive but qualified. r/Tools threads describe older B+D motors as 'smooth and powerful,' with one commenter calling their unit 'miles better than the $30 Greenworks' alternative. r/lawncare commenters use the B+D 20V outdoor lineup as their default no-cord starter kit. The mtbr.com (unknown-trust) reviewer reported 45–60 minutes of runtime with the stock battery and roughly an hour with the larger pack.
The disagreement to surface: r/Dewalt and r/landscaping threads in the signals are explicit that 20V trimmers in general are limited on woody branches, and at least one r/homeowners commenter said B+D yard tools were 'garbage' before they switched to Milwaukee. The LHT2220 is the right answer for a small yard on a budget — it is not the right answer for thick, neglected hedges.
