This review is from: American Gardener ReadyEdger A/C 12-AMP 7-1/2-Inch Electric Edger and Trencher YE8 (Lawn & Patio)

Waited far too long to edge the lawn and it was encroaching on the sidewalk nearly six inches in some places. The wheels didn't quite roll on level sidewalk/driveway as I'm sure the designers had in mind, but still required less effort than if I were to edge it manually. Easy to maintain a straight line using the edge guide set at an appropriate depth. The edger blade did wear a bit from contacting the concrete from time to time because it was rolling over uneven areas where the grass was growing on top of the pavement. Basically left a nice clean look and makes maintaining it much easier. Compared to using a line trimmer, this is quicker and cleaner.

I bought this unit last year through a local Farm and Fleet and the front guide wheel broke in less than a month. I went to the store where I purhcased it and they said, sorry, call the manufacturer. I tried many times but could not get through the company's maze of recordings and was never able to get in touch with them to try to order a wheel. My recommendation, buy something else.

So far has been working great. It does take time to get used to it.
