Bummer that the previous reviewer had reliability issues with his Trimmer/Edger attachment. I bought mine with my Neuton 6.0 and it's worked fine, so seeing the other review, I felt I should mention how well it actually works.

And the answer is, very well. It's a powerful little trimmer, and the convenience of being able to just throw the switch on the handle of the mower to swap between mowing and trimming can't be beat. I use this to edge, and to hit tall grass/weeds near the dropoffs or fences where the mower "can't cut it."

The only downside is that it's not as easily maneuverable as a hand-held trimmer. Because it's mounted on one side of the mower, you may have to swing the mower around and reverse directions to be able to put the trimmer into the right spot. Not a big deal.

I have a nice gas trimmer as well, but it never gets used as this is so much more convenient, and no messing with gas/oil.

I'm not getting rid of my dedicated edger yet but this is a useful accessory for cleaning up borders and fencelines in between dragging out the edger and weed-eater. The edger does have a somewhat limited effective cutting range and to do the edges along the sidewalk I have to lift the rear of the Neuton off the ground to get the cutting cord to work. Even with these limitations I think it is a useful accessory and I'm glad I purchased.

He love it because he can turn it its side to edge along concrete or walk ways and the turn it face down to trim down over grown weeds and the with a flip of a switch to back to mowing the lawn.

From the look of it I worried that it would get in the way of mowing but my husband states that he does not find this to be the case at all.

According to him "this is absolutely great! I can mow, edge, and weed wack without having to go to the shed and get out another tool."

update:

My husband has been using this attachment for over 4 months now and consitently on 3 different lawns. It stays attached when he puts it in the mower in the truck to mow a rental property.

Even with all this use and riding along in the back of the truck we have had no problems with this attachment and it still works great.

The edger/trimmer is not worth a bean. I used mine once, it broke, they sent me a part. I used it again, it broke, they sent me another part. Once again i tried it, it broke, they sent me a new one. The new one does not work either. I never finished one trimming job with the trimmer.

Their last piece of helpful advise was to send me a piece of circuitry, that I am to install myself. No I'm not. I'm pretty darn good with my hands, but I'm not messing into the circuitry of this thing, ruin my warranty. no way.

I gave up. They were very good about sending new parts, but what good is that when nothing works? No, it's not the user, I've had other string trimmers and never broke any of them. It's a fairly simple device that in theory should work just fine, really don't need to be a rocket scientist to run it. There is obviously something wrong with the circuitry. So frustrating....

FORGET THE TRIMMER!!!

On the bright side, their Mower and battery powered Garden Cart are wonderful. Use mine all the time.
