Greenworks 24V 20-Inch Cordless Hedge Trimmer Review
As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. Details
The Greenworks HT2002 is a 24-volt cordless hedge trimmer with a 20-inch dual-action steel blade, a brushless motor and a debris collector. It comes with a 2.0Ah battery and a charger. This review is for people who trim low to medium hedges and already own, or want to buy into, the Greenworks 24V battery line.
Every spec below comes from the Amazon listing, checked on 2026-10-12. We have not tested this trimmer. Runtime and cutting figures are the manufacturer’s claims.
Quick answer
Buy it for light to medium hedge trimming, especially if you want a 24V battery you can share with other Greenworks 24V tools. The listing gives a 1.1-inch cutting capacity, so it is not a tool for thick branches. If you need a bigger cut or a longer runtime, check the 40V hedge trimmers before buying.
The product, from the listing
1. Greenworks 24V 20-Inch Cordless Hedge Trimmer with 2.0Ah Battery
Specs (from the listing, checked 2026-10-12): 24-volt battery system. Brushless motor. 20-inch dual-action steel blades. Cutting speed 4,000 strokes per minute. Listed cutting capacity 1.1 inches. Battery 2.0Ah, with a 30W charger; the listing says a full recharge takes 110 minutes. Runtime claim: up to 65 minutes of trimming per charge. Full wrap-around handle. Two-step safety switch. Debris collector. Model HT2002, from Greenworks. Kit includes the trimmer, the battery, a Type-C charger and a 3-foot cord.
Battery compatibility, as the listing says: the listing says the 24V battery works with more than 200 Greenworks 24V tools. We have not checked that count against the manufacturer’s catalogue.
Pros (as the listing describes them): brushless motor; debris collector; two-step safety design for starting; a kit that includes battery and charger; no gas, oil or exhaust.
Cons: the listing’s weight figures conflict. The specifications say 5.5 pounds, and one bullet says 8.46 pounds, so we have not given a weight. The cutting capacity of 1.1 inches limits it to lighter growth.
Best for: trimming hedges and shrubs with light to medium growth, and sharing a 24V battery with other Greenworks tools.
Skip if: you need to cut branches thicker than about an inch, or you want a runtime well beyond the listed 65 minutes.

What the listing does not say
- Weight: the two figures in the listing disagree, so check the product page before you buy.
- Runtime: the 65-minute figure is a manufacturer’s claim. Real runtime depends on the growth you cut and how often you stop.
Worked example: runtime against recharge time
The listing gives up to 65 minutes of trimming per charge and a 110-minute recharge with the 30W charger. Dividing 110 by 65 gives about 1.7, so the recharge takes roughly 1.7 times as long as one full run of trimming on the listed figure. That is why a spare battery matters on a long hedge job, and why the 65-minute number is worth checking against your own cutting.
Fit checklist before you buy
- Measure the thickest growth you plan to cut. If it is over about an inch, a pruning saw is the better tool.
- Check whether you already own Greenworks 24V batteries. If you do, this trimmer may cost less to add. For other cordless options, see our cordless grass shear and hedge trimmer guide.
- Use the two-step safety switch and keep your hands clear of the blade. The manual covers blade guards and storage.
- Disconnect the battery before you clear jammed debris or check the blades.
