This B&D Hog Electric Edger gives excellent results, and it is very easy to opperate.  I'm retired now, and I've used several Gas and Electric edgers before.  It has proven to be an easy to use edger with excellent looking results on my Patio Home driveway and sidewalks with a 100' 16-2 Grounded cord. Get a roll-up for the cable. Works great for edging, and cutting in burried cables and making garden boarders.  When edging, try moving the edger forward about a foot or two, then pull it back, and then forward again about 2-3'. Repeat as you work. This gives smoother, sharper cut on the grass edge.  Mine was a refurb, and it's been an excellent buy. This has been the fifth refurb thru Amazon, and I wouldn't hesitate ever doing it again. I've had to return one item bought through Amazon for replacement, and that was an easy and excellent experience.
