If you try and use it after watering your lawn or after a rain mud will clump inside the edger and clog it up. I have also found the first edge of the season, or the first time you use it if you haven’t ever edged your lawn, can be challenging for you and the edger.
I love this new edger! It was easy to put together and easy to use.
What a pleasure it was! There was virtually no setup required and within minutes I was walking along cutting a perfect groove along my sidewalk, driveway, and even the curb.
I have a lot of edging to do (corner lot, public sidewalks set in on both sides, driveway, my sidewalks, patio), and needed something that would withstand being used every week. As much as I didn’t want to be dragging around 100 feet of extension cords, the fact is electric edgers have much greater continuous power than gas edgers. This B&E is my first edger and I think it’s the best edger. It has an extremely powerful motor and it guides perfectly.
The product is very light weight and easy to manage. Blade cuts well and is easy to maneuver. There is a door you can open that lets you clean off the blade once you have unplugged the edger of course. After you make the cut, you need a shovel to clean up the area a bit. For the future, however, I definitely wanted something automatic. I found the B&D Edge Hog here on Amazon and like with many products here I immediately jumped into the Customer Reviews. I do not recommend this product, and recommend getting a gas edger instead. I wish I had never gotten it and am now looking for a decent edger that can do the job. Easy to clean up and place back on the wall storage hook next to all my other fun yard tools. The orange color matches my Husqvarna too!
I have to shift it back to the edger position about every 10 feet. Wow, the whole time I was edging, I could only think of one thing: Big Wars. It was one of the cleanest edges I’ve seen from an edger. I think the serrations on the blade really do help. Effortless power, easy to start, no cord hassle, and way a better cutting job. I tried electricity and I am back to gas.
I have had this product for over four years and it has worked great. I have no complaints about this product and would recommend it to my friends. Move it forward two feet, back one foot–nice cut. Moving it forward and back gives you a clear sight on what it’s doing and the results are fine.
We haven’t used the trenching feature yet, but if it can trench as well as it edges, I’ll be in seventh heaven! GARDEN SPADES.
