Exactly as expected, worked perfectly

Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2020

Simple design and assembly. Plenty of power if you're even a little bit patient (it is electric, after all). I bought one that was a refurb/scratch and dent package, whatever, and it was absolutely perfect, brand new, never used, not a scratch. Just came in a generic box is all.

I suppose my only observational thing is that on my first run, I did the edging shortly after rain, let's say a few hours, and as I hadn't edged this concrete in 6 years living here, there was a fair amount of work to be done. The dirt/mud did get pretty packed up inside the blade housing, which really, if anything, is more a testament to how powerful the motor is...the blade didn't ever stop, just packed the thing tight. So I kept a long, big screwdriver handy and scraped it out every so often. Next run...dry, easy, all good.

My opinion is buy with confidence, terrific product so far.

Its OK, a few minor issues

Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2019

I really wanted to give this a great review. Upon arrival it looked l like it was just thrown into a box. There was no damage and the handle was wrapped in plastic. C'mon GreenWorks, you can do better than that! I did not like how hard it was too get the darn handle aligned to bolt it together. Tolerances for the bolt in the handle together are too tight. Also the curled cord going down the handle center kept getting in the way of the bolt. Once I got it I felt the handle was a little off. It does not have a guide that allows you to easily align the blade with the side walk. There is a visual guide but its pretty useless. You will find that the only way to be sure that you are against the sidewalk is to scrape the blade against the concrete.. Not good for blade life. You will definitely need an extra blade. That being said, it was reasonably powerful and did a good job although with sparks flying. I had also purchased last year a GreenWorks string trimmer which is very powerful and does a great job. If you don't mind a few sparks, give it a try. I'm thinking the Black & Decker would have been a better buy.

The price was right and this has saved me a ton of time around the house, driveway and pool. This greenworks edger was the lower cost option when comparing and I took a chance it is well built and durable with plenty of power. My only complaint is the design although I do think it is a complaint with many of these is the imbalance of the handle top heavy and can just about stay upright on its own let alone with a cord plugged in, I wish there was an option to extend the rear wheel back further or even an additional wheel on the back to maintain balance.

Works so great! Easy to use and will serve us perfectly well.

Had my son put this together and edge the sidewalks and it made a great clean edge. Professional results. Son said it was easy to use. He swept up the grated grass and dirt that it cut through and left the sidewalks looking edged and great. I like that it's a plug-in because I only have 2 smallish sort of concrete sidewalks and patio (maybe 80 feet of edging altogether) and the plugs are handy and I used a 50 foot cord. Really great.

Works well, good deal

I just moved into my first house and trying to clean up my yard, not shooting for yard of the year, but want it to look presentable. I bought this because I didn’t have an edger. This works really pretty well for my purpose.

I only have two complaints- 1. The plug is a little frustrating. It has a cup on it to protect from water but that makes it temperamental with some cords and it likes to come unplugged. 2. The height adjustment is a little cumbersome. It’s difficult to get it just right without scraping the blade on the concrete.

Also there is no guide.

Otherwise I found the power and ease good. Would buy again overall.

No Regrets!

As is often the case when purchasing something at a bargain price, you come to expect some faults that you just have to live with knowing this is what you paid for. However, with this edger, I have absolutely no regrets. I can't think of the word used for the last edger I had, but in Australia, it's called a "Whipper Snipper" You know the thing with the plastic wire??!! Anyway, I found this to be very awkward indeed as you had to hold the full weight of the tool to do the edging which soon became very heavy and hard to do the job. With this edger, there is no difficulty at all. It was easy to assemble and easy to use. I had never used an edger like this before and was worried I would keep hitting the concrete, but with the wheel, at the front, it makes it very easy to line it up. In some parts of the yard, it had been years since it had been edged, so it had to do some major work. But it was no problem for this edger. I have absolutely no regrets and would recommend it to anyone.

Strong motor, but blade seems cheap

Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2023

Size: EdgerStyle: CordedVerified Purchase

The assembly was easy, took getting used to the trigger safety (previous B&D brand I had for 30+ years didn't need that feature I guess). Relatively quiet and for what I had to cut through, the motor was surprisingly strong, didn't seem to struggle. What WAS disappointing was that blade, or the quality of the steel. Even adjusting the depth wheel to the deepest setting, the blade only cut about 1.5" into the ground. I found the machine wanting to 'float' vs 'hug' the edge of the walkway, and so the concrete quickly ground down the metal. My solution - make your own blade with 1" wide US strap steel. You can easily gain an additional 1.25" radius and clear the plastic guard (9.375" total). This also greatly helps the blade hug the edge of your walkways, so the tip is clearing out roots and earth, not bouncing up and getting ground down.

Only used once...so far...on very overgrown driveway and curb. Took a bit to get "a feel" for the edge of the curb. Had to adjust for max depth due to thick overgrowth. Once past the 5 minute test drive....It worked like a charm.

It would b OK but my ground was to rocky for it. Kept throwing stones. Close neighbors and didn't want to break any windows. Other than that what I was able to do it made a nice path around sidewalk. If wasn't for close neighbors I would definitely use more often.

I hired someone to take care of my yard while I was gone for several months.
This person decided to destroy everything I had.
(what makes a person do things like that?
I had a new edger and of course, he broke it too.
I bought this one with only average expectations.
However, what an amazing surprise! This edger outperforms the toro I had by 100%
it's built better, it's easier for me to maneuver, and it cuts/edges a difficult overgrown lawn with ease.
I am so happy I ordered this and saved money too!
If you're wondering if this edger will perform well; Put your mind at ease!
this is so much better than my much more expensive edger was.
I don't recommend trusting your house to anyone anymore.
Don't hesitate to purchase this!
I recommend this 1000%
I have never given such a good review to any other product before.
I have over 700 product reviews.
you'll be glad you purchased this product.
