My lawn is not continuous on the edges of the driveway and curb. There are bare areas. When operating the edger, it kicked up dirt in an arc that landed 20 ft behind and at least 10 ft in front. It's a good tool, easy to assemble and use, but it's not for the less-than-optimal condition of my lawn.

so much better than using a string trimmer.first time took a little longer due to no trench being there. only negative is that even at the longest setting it is a little short for me of course most things are because at 6ft 4in most things are not long enough for me. otherwise it has plenty of power and cut right through the thick st augustine grass.

It worked pretty good, struggled a bit where the yard was higher then the side walk but it worked great in my driveway. I accidently dropped it on its side only about 2 feet onto the sidewalk and the side shattered which surprised me that it was that brittle. But compared to the price of a gas edgers, I would purchase this again if needed.

Paid $85 for this. My main complaint is the blade. It is undersized and has several prongs that may break off and become projectiles if you hit a hard object. I noticed that replacement blades have been discontinued by the manufacturer. I would not trust the pronged style blades. The stock blade measures about 1-1/2" X 7-1/2" and wears down rapidly. It was worn out after half a day of intermittent use. I have discovered that a plain, generic rectangular 2" X 9" blade easily fits this tool. It is much heavier and has a thicker coating. It is also reversible, and less expensive. It wears slowly and evenly, is self-sharpening, and will last many times longer than several stock blades. I find the motor to be very powerful, while the handle is flimsy and can be crushed. Many wear items - such as wheels and housing bottom are plastic. The controls work well. I noticed a little extra play in the shaft bearing, but this may be for heat expansion. A much better tool now that I won't be getting ripped off on replacement blades.

I ordered my lawn edger about a month ago. It's amazingly easy to use and does a terrific job. I couldn't even find the edges of my sidewalks and curbs. Now everything is clean and neat and there's much more room on the walks. My only disappointment is that it's not battery operated, but requires an extension cord.

I hate it. Very hard to use. The wheel is not a good guide. The blade is rectangle and therefore does not spin well. I chip the edges of your pavement in the blink of an eye, so you cannot go close to the edge which means that you cannot edge your grass good. And what I don't understand with it is, how it chips your driveway concrete or the sidewalk concrete so quickly with sparks flying, (so be careful), but when it comes to a thick patch of grass it struggles like dickens to cut it or go through it.

I was excited to work with this tool since I own a few others and they are outstanding. All I can say is, please believe the hype. This tool takes all of the hard out of lawn care. It's performance was everything I thought it would be and more. I literally didn't break a sweat. My neighbors have been continuously complimenting me on how gorgeous my yard looks. There is only one problem.....it performs so well, you WILL have people wanting to borrow it!!!

Used it for the first time today and I was very pleased. Assembly was easy. It feels like it's better quality than the comparable Black and Deck which I'd had for several years until it conked out a couple of months ago. I'll know better after a few uses to see if the blade continues to cut as well. It cut through my St. Augustine runners easily today, which were a challenge for the B

The lawn edger arrived in a box that was obviously repacked from the factory. The cutting blade was muddy and the bottom of the unit showed scratches where it had been run on concrete before. Everything about this shipment screams that this is a used product. I decided to test it out and keep it anyway since I'd been waiting to use it. However, I'm not happy buying a used product at new prices.

Easy to use as a senior citizen I look for the easiest thing I can use for an edger and a trencher I find this product to be superb I also bought the John saw an extender and found because of life they were too heavy for me to use The return of these items was so easy I was surprised I called to explain that they had been repackage never used because I couldn't lift one no questions were asked labels were sent FedEx picked up and all was finished
