Title: Best bang for the buck
Review: I have used the Edge Hog for 2 days now and here is my review. If you are edging along a sidewalk that has never been edged before, this device will NOT work until you make a rough edge first. I used a heavy, flat edged shovel to find the edge of the sidewalk and it took a LONG time to chop away all the overgrowth and bag it (the entire length of the sidewalk). After all, the overgrowth can be up to an inch thick, preventing the edger's guide arm from finding the sidewalk's edge. After establishing the first proper edge, this device will breeze through follow-up edgings. The guide arm doesn't seem to extend deep enough for me and the blade is always sparking along the sidewalk causing you to adjust the path to stop the sparking. I think professional gas models would be heavy enough to use with any amount of overgrowth, but they are too expensive for most home users. Expect to spend hours on your first edging project. I expected edging to be fun but it's quite a project.
Is the review positive or negative?
