Atom 26cc 2 cycle Edger- WOW..., February 16, 2010
This review is from: Atom ATDDLX 25cc 4-Stroke Honda Gas-Powered Shaft-Driven Lawn Edger, Colors may vary (Lawn & Patio)
I have used the Atom 2600 2 cycle edger for the past 4 years. I am going to order another one to keep in reserve. I would never go back to 'stick' edger. I can walk as fast as I want and the edging looks perfect and with very little effort. Thanks to whoever dreamed up this way of edging. My Lawn service Buddy cannot belive how easy and effortless to operate. BTY, I am 76 years old and can edge my 1/2 acre coner lot faster than my Buddy can with his 'stick'.. Wonderful, Best there is... Ralph in Texas

Good answer to edging but oh so hot, July 16, 2010
This review is from: Atom ATDDLX 25cc 4-Stroke Honda Gas-Powered Shaft-Driven Lawn Edger, Colors may vary (Lawn & Patio)
I have an old Yard Machine, Bolens (?) belt-driven machine that has been a headache for years. The Atom is definitely an improvement with the Honda engine that starts way, way easier and is just plain easier to use and has no belts. One problem: The HOT air off of the engine, directly at the user, makes it a far better design for a snow blower than a summer time device. I truly did not know that an engine that small could make so much heat. I must have lost 20 pounds after getting blasted with the hot air off the engine while edging. I will be forced by that so-hot air to rig up a diverter to direct the hot cooling air off to the side or up over me. Atom should have identified this problem early on and designed a fix. Love those Honda engines!

I mow lawns on the side after work. I bought this to help me speed up the edging process. I love it.. It works very fast and beats flipping the weed wacker. It does an good job of edging. It will not get the wide "1" space between your walk and lawn like the big pro gas ones. However i waited 4 months to get this thing and it really was worth the wait for me. Its a solid honda motor and start very easy. It has made it one season and i will post future season results. For commercial purposes nothing I have owned is faster or easier. It has only 1 wheel. One wheel is just fine. The others have 3 because they are so heavy. This weighs around 10 pounds so it's easy to carry and transport. There is a depth adjustment. If I hit something hard the blade stops. It would probably be impossible to break the blade it's pretty thick. For really over grown edges you will have to go over it a few times, lowering the depth each pass. The motor is fairly strong and you can't beat a Honda motor. It will not chew through anything you throw at it. At the beginning of the year you do have to take a bit more time and go over the edge a few times. Once you have the edge you want it's a breeze to maintain. I've never replaced a blade but amazon will have it for sure. It looks like a pretty generic blade, it's a square chunk of metal you can easily sharpen it with a grinder. I have had it one year and it runs great still, just broke it out yesterday. It will only cut a 1/4 gap between the grass and cement. If you want a thicker gap the slow big machines are better. With this unit I can edge all around my curbing and whole yard in less than 10 minutes front and back. I really have enjoyed this edger and when it dies I will buy another. Be sure to follow instructions on changing out oil. It will help the motor last forever. Don't leave any gas in it over the winter. Tell you what when I mow next week I will get you a video review. Ok i couldnt get amazon to get video to work, so i uploaded to youtube under atom edger. If you cant find it search by my name jaredmbennett... Keep in mind when i say the moter stalls out that mean the blade stops turning, but the moter does not die.
