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

You'll get great results with this Black & Decker heavy-duty Edge Hog landscape edger, one of the easiest-to-use pieces of equipment we've come across. You'll be thrilled with how quickly you can get to work, as assembly takes only a few minutes. This is an electric model, so you'll need an extension cord and an electric outlet handy, but you won't have to deal with gas or oil. And it's so quiet you can edge at any time of day--even early Saturday mornings--without worrying about waking up the neighbors.

We found the Edge Hog has plenty of power in its 2-1/4-horsepower motor for both edging and trenching, and it's easy to switch from one to the other by simply raising or lowering the edge guide. The edger weighs only 12 pounds, which allows for easy transportation and great maneuverability around curved paths, but makes it more difficult to maintain a straight line when you're tackling a lawn that hasn't been edged in a while. If you're digging out quite a bit of dirt along with the edge you're creating, it takes some effort to keep the unit stable.

Undoing a screw toward the front of the edger and raising or lowering its leading wheel easily adjusts the depth of the edge groove you're making along with your edge. The unit can also be adjusted to fit the height of the user more comfortably by changing the angle on the guide handle. The blade requires only a pull of the trigger to start instantly and, unlike many gas models, stops as soon as the trigger is released---an important safety feature.

Tools and Hardware Reviews of Black & Decker Edge Hog 2-1/4 HP Electric Landscape Edger #LE750

Customer Review: Not as good as previous versions
Summary: 2 Stars

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.
