Black & Decker Edge Hog 2-1/4 HP Electric Landscape Edger #LE750

The Edge Hog does everything your product description promised....and does such a good job! I am very pleased with it, all around.

The product is very light weight and easy to manage. Blade cuts well and is easy to manuver.

Let's start off with the good:
-Well powered
-Easy assembly
-Simple and effective cord retainer

The bad:
-I'm 6'2" and have to stoop to use it. It's made for someone about 5'10" max.
-The edge guide does not follow the concrete. You have to use the left hand handle to pull the edger to the side so it stays in a straight line. So now I'm stooping and applying a force perpendicular to the direction I'm going.
-If the edge guide happens to follow the concrete, the blade is spaced so far from it, that it doesn't catch everything and you have to go back and forth over it until you randomly get it.
-I've been hanging it by the handle in my garage and the plastic is cracking under it's own weight.

I am amazed how well this little machine can cut through the toughest overgrowth (6") on my driveway. I had no problem handling it. I was looking at gas edgers, and am so glad I bought this model. Just make sure you buy plenty of electric cord.

This edger works great and is inexpensive. Easy to assemble and sturdy enough to do the job. We had not edged for a while because we didn't have an edger. Used a weed eater instead to try to edge. First we found out that we had lost about 6 inches of driveway because of overgrown grass and second we realized we could not get as clean an edge as we did with this edger. It took awhile to initially edge since we were cutting so much grass but it was well worth it.
