I wanted a battery operated edger. While this was more than I really intended to spend, I think it was still the right purchase for me. It seems monstrously big but it’s actually, I find, surprisingly easy to handle (I’m 5’6″). It’s in fact almost fun to use! Since mowing and edging is new to me (my attempt at being more “DIY”), that is something to say. It seems like it’s self propelled because the edger pulls right along with almost no effort. My yard requires a lot of edging — a lot of palm trees that I have to edge around. Using this edger makes that job pretty easy and for that, I am grateful. this is the right edger for me: it’s battery operated and is easy for me to operate. And that’s my summary.

Plenty of power, no cords, no gas smell, and has plenty strength to even nick the crap out of concrete, watch your eyes, I like it, on full power I got about 25 mins. maybe a little more, on reduced power I got twice the amount of time using it before I needed to change batteries and after using it for a while, I did not need to use it on full power to do the same job, I just had to get used to using it, it has a grease port, adjustable wheel and a little rubber flap to keep dirt and rocks from flying back at you, I like it, I would buy it again.

I just finished using the EGO edger for the first time. I have not edged in many years so the grass overgrowth on the driveway and sidewalk was thick and hung over several inches.
Before I purchased it I had watched several YouTube videos which was very helpful both in deciding whether I should buy it and also how to operate it.
I was very impressed with the power as I edged through the overgrown grass. I had it on the higher setting. It didn’t hesitate. I did have to push through some spots a few times and the EGO responded very well. Because I couldn’t see the edge of the driveway and sidewalk I continued to strike it. I did a somewhat choppy job but after clearing out the cut sections I went over it again to make the line straighter.
I agree with the reviews that this edger has a lot of power. I’d guess my edging was on the more difficult side because I hadn’t edged in many years. The last time was with a plug in weed eater and the plastic string just wasn’t strong enough to do a good job.
Some reviewers said the unit was a bit too heavy. As a male in my early 60s I didn’t find that to be a problem at all. I did order a new blade although I may not have needed to right now. But I could see the wear with the constant strikes against the cement and the thick overgrowth. The subsequent edgings won’t be so hard on the blade now that I cleared out the lawn overgrowth and can see the cement. The battery showed no signs of wearing down during operation. This is a quality edger made by EGO.
I didn’t want to spend the money because it is a bit pricey. But now that I have and put it to use I am 100% glad I did. It’s just night and day in how my yard now looks before and after edging. I have a nice looking lawn because I stay after it with fertilizer, but it just never looked very good without a nice edging. So if you are on the fence whether to purchase it or not, I don’t think you will regret it if you do.

Took a long time to decide for this edger. But I’m glad I got it. It makes edging so easy. Sufficient battery life for house with driveway, walkway to entry and sidewalks. I also edge around a few large trees and all garden areas around entire house. I can only hope it continues to work this well as time goes by. If not, I’ll update this review.

The first time use is difficult but the second use and beyond is easy. The battery is more than enough for my yard, sidewalk, and driveway. Good tool!

I like my yard to look nice and edge about every 3 weeks. The EGO preformed as well as my current edger in addition to allowing me to edge in tight places( i.e. when a car is parked along the curb) that my gas powered edger would not fit.
I also do 2 other family members yards. One never waters or edges and has wire grass. I was able to do their yard a few times. The EGO has plenty of peer and battery life. The other lawn is Zoysia which is very thick. Again, the EGO edger had plenty of power and battery life. I highly recommend.

The 2.5 v battery is powerful, but I will have to get the 5v for all the tasks around the .25 acre yard.
This thing is quality. Most others are garbage.

I watched several YouTube videos on battery-powered edgers, and decided to go with this one. I have used it throughout the summer, and I am so pleased with it. I use it along our pea-gravel driveway edging and two sidewalks. It has really good power and battery life, and I don’t find it too heavy to use. I also ordered the strap so I can sling it over my shoulder if I want a little extra support while edging. Also, the depth setting is easily adjustable. Highly recommend this!
