It is lightweight and easy to handle. There is also a place to tuck the cord in which keeps it out of my way.

Highly recommend the Boss Edger. This is a terrible edger and does not do a good job at all.

My yard needs re-edging about every 6 weeks, so the time and energy I’ve saved since getting it is significant. Assembling this out of the box is a two minute job. There is no gas to mix, no cranking to mess with – just plug in and go. The adjustments are easy, the guide plate is excellent and I found it very easy to keep the blade away from the sidewalk and driveway.

The key trick that I found for myself is to lift the right side up, press the trigger, start the blades humming and then slowly sink it at the right spot. This way, the thing holds and doesn’t budge left or right. Light enough to facilitate being hung on a bicycle hook hanger for storage between uses. The first time I used one of these edgers belonged to my son. The pull-up edge guide converts the edger to a landscape trencher. The three-position blade depth adjustment is really important to help you control the cut.

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.

It gives a nice separation between the yard and our landscaping border bricks. I’ve only used it a couple of times since purchase but I love it! The edges look clean and it is easy to use. It could use a little more power, but we expected that going in.

Also, I found three cables I wasn’t expecting. Fortunately, they were buried deep enough! He says it is much nicer and easier to use than his old gas-powered edger. There you have it. I was concerned an electric edger wouldn’t have the power to handle it, but there was more than enough power. The unit is very quiet too.

Purchased to replace 30 year old B & D Edger – easier to use and great for sidewalks (you don’t need to carry it like string trimmers). It was total waste of time and money when I found that it was just not better than an electric toy. There is a height adjustment for the trenching level of the blade but that’s useless. This is a powerful easy to use edger.

My only concern is how well it will hold up over time. Windshield Repair Training.
