Title: plastic gear melts down after about 15 minutes of edging
Review: The GH1000 is supposedly a trimmer/edger. I've used it twice. As a trimmer, it ran OK for about 30 minutes. As an edger, the drive mechanism failed after about 15 minutes, edging only 135 feet of sidewalk. It was hard to disassemble, because one screw is hidden under the long "PUSH and TURN for Edging, PUSH to adjust height" decal. A plastic gear inside the machine had melted, and a fiberglass-reinforced toothed rubber belt melted and broke. There's no use fixing it, because another plastic gear and rubber belt will overheat and fail just as fast. If you own one, don't use it for more than a few minutes each hour, and don't use it as an edger at all.
