It was one of the cleanest edges I've seen from an edger. I think the serrations on the blade really do help.
Too bad for them I don't lend tools to even family members. It is very quiet even at full blast power. Received Black & Decker LE750 edger and it worked just fine. Had no problems at all and it will do a good job for driveway edging. I was using my gas powered string trimmer as on edger until we purchased this last week. As I was growing up, my dad lived by gas powered equipment, so I was planning to buy a gas powered edger at some point in time, but I didn't want to fork over the $200 minimum needed.
After my second outing, having the advantage of some experience and a nice "trench" already in place, there was little sparking and the task was amazingly quick and easy. The resulting look equaled what I was receiving from a more professional (and expensive) landscaper who used a huge gas model. Note to new edgers: Watch for rocks - if the blade sparks, you may be hitting a rock. I just went back through after reading reviews here on amazon of other users and felt inspired to try it again. After using a trimmer for ten years, this was a blessing to use. The first pass in edging went very smoothly, with no hitches at all. Very misleading in the description. If anything it might dig a small trench for planting. Purchased to replace a weed eater edger that was 15 years old and had gone on to wherever old worn out weed eaters go. Used it today for first time and found it to be superior to the aged weed eater product. After trying again this summer, I gave up and bought the Black and Decker EdgeHog. Its main selling point was that it was electric and not gas.
This product was great. We moved into our house a little over a year ago and I knew we were going to need an edger at one point in time. But this edger has plenty of power for my needs, and although I was a total novice at this task I was edging in no time. I agree with other reviewers that the instructions are essentially worthless, but you don't need them anyway.
Just be careful with it, take your time. Your yard will look great. I'd say it's well worth what I paid for it. And the "edged look" is a WOW, what a Will do the work, it is light weight - however I wish it was sturdier. 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.
