BIG DiSAPPOINTMENT-OORQUALITY ENGINE
Would Not RecommendNeigbor has had the identical edger for over 12 years and had no issue with it. I purchased mine 5/27/21. Last years use totaled about hours. (about 20 minutes per use.) I used it twice this year and on the third time it started smoking, the engine quit and it began leaking oil. It will no longer start. While it ran, it did a good job on my yard and was both quick and easy to edge. I now wonder if the 30cc engine was too small for the 250 feet of edging I do about once per month.. I ...

engine rattled bolts broke off after 1 year
Would Not RecommendI purchased for my wife since its easy and light from Lowes on 07/12/21. This is the second summer of very light use.

Starting indeed difficult
Would Not RecommendLightweight, nicely crafted. For pennies more they could have placed the blade height control at the handlebars instead of an extremely tight, clumsy method which requires setting the height while the motor and blade are running if you are not fortunate to have an idle speed just exactly set.
