What reviewers say about the Milwaukee M18 FUEL 2726-20 24" Cordless Hedge Trimmer

Only one whitelisted tester, Pro Tool Reviews, hands-on tested this exact Milwaukee 2726 24-inch trimmer, scoring it 9.0/10. They praise its fast 3,400-SPM cutting, balance, and cordless convenience, but flag it as heavy at 10.9 lbs and wish for a rotating handle.

Tested by Pro Tool Reviews

Consistently praised

  • Fast 3,400-SPM speed makes quick work of hedges and light brush
  • Well-balanced weight distribution and comfortable handle placement
  • Cordless convenience, up to two hours runtime, no gas or extension cords

Commonly flagged

  • Heavy at 10.9 lbs with battery
  • No rotating handle; awkward cutting above shoulder height
  • Measured 86 dBa noise, nudging over the OSHA limit

Where reviewers disagree Only one whitelisted hands-on review exists, so no cross-source disagreement could be assessed. Pro Tool Reviews itself notes the design predates Milwaukee's newer High Output batteries and is overdue for a Gen 2 with longer blades and higher capacity.

Noise level, cutting at waist level: 86 dBa

Again, the hedge trimmer made very quick work of these challenges.
The hedge trimmer's weight distribution and handle placement do a nice job of balancing out the tool for most cutting applications.
As far as noise goes, I measured a consistent 86 dBa when cutting at waist level.
From an improvement standpoint, I'd like to see a rotating handle to help work around different angles more comfortably.
