Worked Great [Posted on 2007-11-05]
I've been trying to do this edging thing with a trimmer for 2 years now and never got very far. Always thought these edger people were fanatics until I had to shovel snow and realized there was a good reason for doing it. Divorce is such a lovely teacher . . .
Finally broke down and bought this, don't really like the cord, but didn't want to mess with mixing oil and gas, and I guess rechargeables aren't an option for something needing this much power.
Didn't really know what I was doing, though I got the hang of it in the end. I read the instructions but didn't do it for about a month after that. I had to switch the handle to the other side and stand to the right of it so I could see--which I think the instructions probably told me, but I forgot.
Once I got going, it was great. I did my driveway and the sidewalks all around my corner lot. Then I did the neighbors' driveways, which were much more overgrown than mine. Got through most of it, including the strips in between with weeds growing in them. That was the trickiest, a few sparks, well, a lot sometimes. Good thing I bought an extra blade up front :). I'm very satisfied. I could never have done it without this tool. It took much less time than I expected . . . until I hit the nasty neighbor's overgrown mess :).
I recommend this product. Happy edging.

Long time user - Happy with edger [Posted on 2008-03-01]
I highly recommend this edger. I purchased my electric B&D Edge Hog in 2005 and decided to finally write a review on it.
I have been very satisfied with the product. I use it about 8-10 times a year. I live in Florida and have St. Augustine grass which is a southern species very similar to crabgrass in the northern states. It is tough. Many of the roots grow horizontally on the surface of the soil and creep over pavement edges. Trimming them is a challenge that the B&D edger handles quite well. Some escape the first slice, but backing over them usually wins the battle.
The guide works well for straight stretches of curbing/pavement, but the rounded portions are more of a challenge. Other than a few sparks, it does these with a few back and forth movements. I am still using the original blade, so nothing has been a serious problem. Compared with the manual edgers which you have to push hard and fast, this small electric model is a dream.
I have also used it to dig small trenches when I wanted to install some low pressure plastic pipe for watering a flower garden. The edger dug out a nice little trench that I could push the pipe into and then re-cover with soil and let the grass grow over it.
For the price, this edger is great for smaller, personal use. If I had a large area, I would get a larger, gas powered unit, but with my needs, this has been perfect.
Great Edger for Small Yards [Posted on 2008-03-26]
Electric edgers have traditionally been the laughing stock of the landscaping world - but this one breaks that tradition. I have been using it for about a year now and it still does a great job. A few notes - Only use it when it is bone dry outside. If you try and use it after watering your lawn or after a rain mud will clump inside the edger and clog it up, resulting in you having to pull out large mud clumps from inside the edger every few feet. 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 - but after that this edger can help you maintain your clean edge with ease.
In the end this is an electric edger that requires an electrical cord, so I could only recommend this for personal use on smaller residential lots. However for the average homeowner this is perfect.
