The HT2411E sits in the middle of EGO's three hedge trimmer kits: a 61cm blade, 26mm cutting capacity and 2.8kg before the battery goes on. The extra 10cm of blade over the 51cm HT2001E means fewer passes along a long run of hedge, and on a boundary hedge of any length that adds up.
What it does not have is the rotating rear handle you get on the 66cm HT2601E, so cutting vertical faces means twisting your wrist instead of the handle. And its 26mm cutting capacity is barely above the HT2001E's 25mm, so stepping up from the 51cm model buys you reach, not the ability to cut thicker stems. If it is heavy, established growth you are up against rather than long runs, go to the HT2601E instead.
Most people who come in for a hedge trimmer ask for the longest blade on the shelf. Blade length only helps if you are cutting long, flat runs, so be honest with yourself about the hedges you actually have before you pay for reach you will not use.
On the supplied 2.5Ah battery EGO rate it at up to 75 minutes of trimming, with a full recharge in 50 minutes on the standard charger. Battery and charger fit every tool on EGO's 56V platform, which makes this a sensible first purchase if you are starting from scratch. If you already own an EGO battery, the tool-only HT2410E is £199 and does the same job. EGO cover it with a 5-year domestic warranty, or 1 year in professional use.
