| Amazon.com Review |
| You'll get great results with this Black & Decker heavy-duty Edge Hog landscape edger, one of the easiest-to-use pieces of equipment we've come across. You'll be thrilled with how quickly you can get to work, as assembly takes only a few minutes. This is an electric model, so you'll need an extension cord and an electric outlet handy, but you won't have to deal with gas or oil. And it's so quiet you can edge at any time of day--even early Saturday mornings--without worrying about waking up the neighbors. We found the Edge Hog has plenty of power in its 2-1/4-horsepower motor for both edging and trenching, and it's easy to switch from one to the other by simply raising or lowering the edge guide. The edger weighs only 12 pounds, which allows for easy transportation and great maneuverability around curved paths, but makes it more difficult to maintain a straight line when you're tackling a lawn that hasn't been edged in a while. If you're digging out quite a bit of dirt along with the edge you're creating, it takes some effort to keep the unit stable. Undoing a screw toward the front of the edger and raising or lowering its leading wheel easily adjusts the depth of the edge groove you're making along with your edge. The unit can also be adjusted to fit the height of the user more comfortably by changing the angle on the guide handle. The blade requires only a pull of the trigger to start instantly and, unlike many gas models, stops as soon as the trigger is released---an important safety feature. |

| The price was right, super saving shipping was prompt and the unit works very well. Probably won't live long enough to wear ths one out but if so I would buy another one. |
| | Works, but never gave me the results I wanted.: Rating: 3/5 |
Out of the box I felt this trimmer was slightly cheap feeling. A lot of plastic...but what isn't these days? Assembly was pretty straightforward and easy. It took about 20-30 minutes.
I found the edger to be adequate but not great. It has a depth adjustment with three settings but never was I able to get those deep trench lines that I'm use to with my old gas trimmer/edger. But then again, my grass does sit well above my sidewalks.
It takes a little skill and patience to edge, especially if you have not edged in a long time. You really just have to let the blade do the work, and try not to force it. If you do force it, the motor will bog down.
There is a guide that helps you keep your lines as straight as possible but no matter how hard you try the blade will smack the concrete/pavement. The blade never seemed to do any damage, but it will wear itself down. The blade does have a wear indicator. New blades cost around $10.
I found this edger to work, but not like I was hoping. It was too time consuming for the results I was getting and I had my concerns as far as how long it would last. For these reasons I returned it.

| | Extremely poor quality!: Rating: 1/5 |
| Purchaes at a local retail store and used approx. a dozen times over the last 2 years. Last time I used it the plastic handle broke off AND the small front wheel broke off (plastic hole elongated). Bottom line...cheap plastic junk! This unit wasn't inexpensive...paid about $80.00. I'm going to spend a couple hundred and but a quality edger. |
| | Just right: Rating: 4/5 |
| This is not a heavy-duty professional type edger but it's fine for me. I don't have a lot of edging to do and what I do edge is fairly easy - up a driveway and halfway around a pool and the 2 sidewalks leading up to the pool. Did it all the first time in about an hour and a half. Easy. Works for me. |
| | couldn't be happier!: Rating: 5/5 |
| this edger does everything we need it to. creates a fine edge and is super easy to operate. |
