Unfortunately, after thirty years away from yard work, I had to start caring for my own lawn. I spent last summer, trying to figure out how to use a weed eater to edge my lawn. In the few places where the length of the lawn was short, the EdgeHog performed very well with one cut. I am very pleased with the results and am very happy with the performance of the EdgeHog. Not sure how they get the picture that they do for trenching but I have yet to get any sort of trench that looks like theirs. If you need an edger, and don't want the trouble of maintaining a gas-powered edger, this is the electric edger for you.
I use it to compensate for blade wear. Start at 1", then to 1.25", finally 1.5" then into the trash and put a new blade on. For being electric it had plenty of power and I could move along quite quickly in the drier areas. Relatively quiet as well. I was very pleased with this item. It is very easy to use and does a great job edging. I found that on bigger projects, you could literally pull up the grass without much problem after using a shovel to ease up the sod. It sure beat trying to attempt the process with just a shovel or manual grass edger.
I would tear up electric edgers about once a year. I was ready for gas this time but got a nice deal on one of these so I thought I'd give an electric one more try.
This is about as easy as it gets. No more gas and oil mix, no more new spark plugs, no more 15-20 pulls to get the engine to start, and it's relatively quiet when running. The Edge Hog works great to edge sidewalks. If it is really bad you may have to go over it again in about a week or two the first time.
If you want to maintain a nicely manicured lawn (and have access to outside electricity) this tool is as effective as gas powered units I've used. As always, I don't mean me.
Blade wear hasn't been an issue for me. If you are dead set against gas edgers, try this one.
Once the edge-line is established, this machine BREEZES through to clean up 'already-edged' areas. It's definitely a work horse for unmaintained areas. If you're not a prime member you should seriously consider it! This also worked great around our landscaping in the back yard.
OK, so I was a little late buying into the whole "Keeping up with the Jones's" landscaping and lawn look. This thing was slicing through 3-4 inches of THICK dirt and grass (4 years) growth like it was soft butter.
