The Ryobi RY40610A 40-Volt Cordless Hedge Trimmer hasn't managed to perform well enough to earn a place in any Hedge Trimmer roundups conducted by sources that do their own, high-quality, hands-on testing. That alone makes it a hard product to recommend.

As for the Makita 18-Volt X2 LXT XHU04 Cordless Hedge Trimmer - it wasn't considered to be a good enough purchase to earn a spot in any roundups conducted by sources that perform objective hands-on testing, which typically indicates that a product isn't worth its asking price.
