Great deal on edger!

Fast delivery and packing was good enough, however, I was a bit worried since hedgehog was packed in plain brown boxing with no Black and Decker logo anywhere to be found. My first thought was that this was a refurbished unit, and sold as new, but I’m not totally convinced of this either since it doesn’t appear to be a refurbed unit, it does appear to be brand new! As for its performance, After reading reviews, I wasn’t expecting miracles just a decent job. If you look at the first 2 photos, this is before and the last 2 photos are the after. I put the edge guide down and cut through the thick matting of weeds in no time. I allowed the machine to do its job and guided it down the sidewalks, not rushing it. It performed perfectly, out of the box. I am happy with this unit and it works well for me, but I also have a small yard, total yard done in just under 2 hours. I used to edge with a weedwhacker and that was pure frustration, usually ending with a lot of broken line and incomplete edging, but no more! Just keep in mind that it is corded and it costs under $50.00. Well worth the money for me!!

Hard working tool!

I've never edged my lawn before and I've lived in this house for 8 years. I thought I was doing a decent job with a weedwhacker but my edges were still extremely overgrown. Received this tool and spent 8 hours cleaning up my driveway, curbs, and sidewalk. I live on a corner so there was lots of sidewalk to do! In some spots the overgrowth was 4 inches onto the sidewalk! I didn't take any photos of the worst spots because I was so hard at work and just focused on getting it done. This edger works great! It's tricky to keep going in a straight line when you're as overgrown as I was. The next time will be so much easier. There's something very satisfying when you did a good job with the edger, was straight and close enough to the edge of the pavement. The extra grass and dirt come away like you cut crust off of bread. Works great, no running issues or overheating even with a full days hard work Bought a 100 foot extension cord and extra blade ( figuring I'd blow out this first blade no problem) the blade it comes with still looks good and will serve me well for several more uses. Love the convenience of electric, maneuvering the cord was no problem and no gas or oil to mess with. I saw reviews about the guard being too low. This model has a height adjustment on the guard, even with all the dirt and over growth I had, I didn't not have to raise the guard. Great tool! Super happy

Helped with re-creating tight edge in landscaping

Used only once, so a follow up review may change the rating depending on longevity. However this worked for my purpose perfectly. I have a natural edge between my landscaping and grass where unfortunately the grass creeps into the mulch beds over the years. So with somewhat mushy soil (not soaked) I used this edger on max depth (1.5") to create a nice clean edge/line in the landscaping where I want the new edge to be. It pushed through nicely only having to rock it back and forth a few times in some tough areas. At this point it may not look like it did the job, as you are left with a 1/4" wide line/trench. The next step is to take a shovel and carve out a small trench along that line, which is easily done when the soil is wet. You may say whats the point of the edger if you still have to manually carve out the edge. The answer is the cut is deep enough to allow you to slide your shovel under the grass and it comes out wit a tight line on the edge. Using just the shovel to trench a chunk out would not leave a tight edge. In addition the cut line also severed the connection to much of the roots so it is much easier to pull up the dirt/grass chunks. For 73$ after tax you cant beat this machine.

Completely worth it.

Very easy to assemble and requires no tools! I edged a brand new lawn (meaning it had to remove a lot of roots and dirt on the first pass) with this bad boy with no issues at all. The adjustable depth came in handy as my driveway had a bit of form leakage where I needed to make a more shallow cut in a few places. The edger is very maneuverable on straight lines but struggles a bit on tight curves due to the blade hitting the concrete (any bladed edger will have this issue). I do agree with other reviewers that the handles height should be more adjustable as it is low and requires you to lean over a bit to wield it comfortably (for reference I am 6'). Pros: No Gas No String Cuts Cleanly Adjustable Height Blade replacements are relatively cheap (6-7 here on amazon) Very cost effective Cons: Not battery operated! I would pay 2-3x the cost for a battery powered option Handle is not height adjustable and is rather low Conclusion: I'm incredibly satisfied with this edger as it worked perfectly without hitches. I would love to see a battery powered variant, improved ergonomics on the handle and possibly a "second" independently adjustable guard in front of the blade to help with curves and dulling blades. My neighbor ordered one after seeing mine in action for the first time.

It chewed through two years worth of grass like it was nothing

I normally don't write product reviews but was compelled to do so after using this edger. I tend to shy away from electric yard tools and use gas powered ones. My gas powered edger died about two years ago so the grass was very thick bordering my driveway and sidewalk. Before using this edger I was very skeptical about how it would perform. I was blown away by the performance of this edger. It chewed through two years worth of grass like it was nothing. This edger is very balanced and was easy to keep on track. It runs so smooth and is very quiet, unlike the gas powered edgers I have used in the past. I am very pleased with this edger and would recommend it for home use.

Surprisingly powerful!

I love this edger! I love the look of nice trimmed edges, but gas powered edgers intimidate me. My husband would use a gas powered edger once in a blue moon and though he would never admit it...I think those larger machines intimidate him as well! Otherwise I wouldn't have had such overgrown edges and in major need of this edge hog.I used this machine with no problems, it was straightforward to assemble and really easy to maneuver. This item shipped quickly and packaged well. I had to go over the overgrown lawn edges at least twice to get a nice sharp and clean looking lawn edges. That's how bad of shape and overgrown they were in. See pictures. I had about 14 buckets of grass and hedge to get rid of once I was finished and swept up. Now that I have this edger I know it will never be as big of a job as that first time or as time consuming. I have never edged a lawn in my life, and I think it turned out fantastic! This machine is easy to use and not intimidating. My husband was very happy and impressed when he came home and saw my efforts and lawn.I am pleased every time I am outside and see my nice lawn edges. It has made a big difference in the look of upkeep. Even though we always kept the lawn nicely mowed, overgrown lawn edges distracted me from ever thinking the lawn looking really neat. I had the sweetest little helpers on clean up duty and we girls got it done ;)! I love this edge hog! This product was made just for me! This edger gives a sharp look the same as those more intimidating machines without the fuss or scare factor. I'm very pleased with this edge hog and the job it does. Best $80 dollars I have spent in a long time.

The Edge Hog gets it done

I bought the Edge Hog, primarily, for burying light-gauge wires that radiate from the base of an amateur radio antenna and improve the signal quality. The first few runs of wire, 20 to 30 feet each, we're buried by "scratching" the lawn surface with a small hand tool. It took a couple hours to complete those initial runs. With the Edge Hog, however, the remaining 8 or 10 runs were cut in just a few minutes, the lines were straight and the depth of cut was consistent. It eliminated a lot of labor intensive work and now I also have a great edger for use on walkways and other trim spots around the yard. Can't beat the price either. Highly recommended for edging and light trenching.

Effective, easy edging -- even for thick St. Augustine grass

I have been using this for 4 months now and still love it. I was concerned when I read some reviews that said it did not work well with St. Augustine grass. I have thick St. Augustine grass and it works great. The first time I used it, I had let the edging go for about 2 months, so I had to rock it back and forth constantly to cut it. You can see the photo of one side of the sidewalk cut and the other growing over the sidewalk. So it took more time for that first trim. Now, I can do the whole driveway, sidewalks and street in about 10 minutes. I still use the string trimmer for other parts of the garden, but I definitely prefer this for the front. The string trimmer would break alot against pavement and it never cut the street section back enough. The second picture was yesterday. When I'm in a hurry and don't want to drag the string trimmer out, I can lift this edger and trim the edges of my jasmine too. I highly recommend this edger.

for perfect lines BUY

I've had this edger for 8 months. I use it every time I mow the lawn. It works great! [...]

It worked like a charm

I bought this edger / trencher because I had an invisible pet fence to install. I figured out that buying this wouldn't be much more than renting one for a day at the big box store. It worked like a charm. I roughly 2 hours I trenched a line around my property the size of about one acre. It never stalled, overheated or anything. It worked through the small stones found under most grass yards. What I really like the most about it was that it trenches a very neat and clean cut about 3 inches deep. When I ran the line in the trench and just used my hands to pinch the trench shut, the yard looked like nothing was ever done to it. Very nice. Now I have it to clean up the garden bed edges occasionally to give my yard the look of a professional landscaping service. It adjusts to fit your height, so if you find yourself leaning just a bit, take your time to adjust the tool. It's worth your back not straining the whole time. I plan on using it this fall to draw lines in my beds to plant rows of small spring bulbs easily.
