Got the new model off of Marketplace. They were moving to an apartment and don't need it anymore. $100 later I got "looks brand new" and starts ok with minimal pulls. Great video on learning what the edger does before using it the first time. Happy so far.

Tool Review Zone We just used this edger this morning for the first time, and it did a great job. Started easily every time. We have quite a large yard to edge, and it hasn’t been edged in a couple of years, so my husband had to cut a few sections twice, which we expected, but this edger powered through. Next, he’s going to try the curb hopping feature. Just wanted to let you know it was a good first experience.

people no matter what other people say stop using gas with Ethanol in it that is why so make people cannot start their small engine equipment and you see them in the trash. It is because the carburetor gets clogged from regular gas even when you use fuel stabilizers. I replaced all my equipment with new carburetor’s (they are around $11 on Amazon) and switched to Ethonal free gas about 5 years ago and have never had a problem since

I like this edger and you did a great job with the review. I wish the manufacturer would make this unit (maybe it does) be able to except bed eager blades. At 79 cc’s I don’t think it would have the power needed to edge beds. But make a beefier version with a 212cc engine and a lockable caster front wheel and a couple sets of blades. Who wants 2 machines taking up space when you could have one machine that will do both jobs!

Hey everybody I have this, and one thing is terrible. There is no blade guide down at the bottom of the blade. The blade is compleatly worn down in 2 seasons used only3 to 5 times a year. The blade is constantly scraping the cement. I have gotten better at steering ....but truth be told its not like the older briggs and stratten models of days old....kind of a pain in the ass while you scape yourself into embarrasment. Otherwise a good machine. Im going to modify and add a sheet metal pieace next to the blade tha will run along in the little trench next to the blade. I hope everbody understands what im talking about.
