I use the Stihl HSA 56, not the entry level battery machine but not the top spec one either. For what I use it for, the mid level machine is enough for me. I love how light and quiet it is and don't smell like a chimney afterwards. I kept my petrol Stihl hedger for when I would need something more powerful. I have not used the petrol machine in two years!

You will be investing not only the tool but also the battery system so choose wisely with future purchases in mind. I have added to pole hedger, chainsaw and blower since getting the hedger. I have two batteries, a large capacity one and a lower capacity one. I have never been caught short of charge this way.
Spend some time and way up how much you want to spend and consider how much you intend to use it. Stihl offer a three different battery systems depending use.

I have not looked back with Hedging with battery power.
As for the doggie mess, better you than me!
