Awesome. This thing works great at edging. I've noticed if you are trimming up some neglected areas, it's better to use a back and forth method. I still drop it to the deepest setting. But I use it like a scrapper on paint, just a couple inches then pull back and hit it again. After I get about 3 feet I slowly pull it backwards to the starting point and it kicks out all the build up. It sounds like a long process but goes quickly. Then vacuum it up or sweep to the center of the sidewalk and bag. I tried sweeping into the grass, but you just fill in the nice edge you just worked hard to clean out. I don't like the cord, but it beats the heck out of maintaining another gas engine.
