EGO Power+ ME0801 Multi Combo Kit: 8-Inch Edger Attachment & Power Head with 2.5Ah Battery & Charger Included

I just finished using the EGO edger for the first time. I have not edged in many years so the grass overgrowth on the driveway and sidewalk was thick and hung over several inches.Before I purchased it I had watched several YouTube videos which was very helpful both in deciding whether I should buy it and also how to operate it.I was very impressed with the power as I edged through the overgrown grass. I had it on the higher setting. It didn’t hesitate. I did have to push through some spots a few times and the EGO responded very well. Because I couldn’t see the edge of the driveway and sidewalk I continued to strike it. I did a somewhat choppy job but after clearing out the cut sections I went over it again to make the line straighter.I agree with the reviews that this edger has a lot of power. I’d guess my edging was on the more difficult side because I hadn’t edged in many years. The last time was with a plug in weed eater and the plastic string just wasn’t strong enough to do a good job.Some reviewers said the unit was a bit too heavy. As a male in my early 60s I didn’t find that to be a problem at all. I did order a new blade although I may not have needed to right now. But I could see the wear with the constant strikes against the cement and the thick overgrowth. The subsequent edgings won’t be so hard on the blade now that I cleared out the lawn overgrowth and can see the cement. The battery showed no signs of wearing down during operation. This is a quality edger made by EGO.I didn’t want to spend the money because it is a bit pricey. But now that I have and put it to use I am 100% glad I did. It’s just night and day in how my yard now looks before and after edging. I have a nice looking lawn because I stay after it with fertilizer, but it just never looked very good without a nice edging. So if you are on the fence whether to purchase it or not, I don’t think you will regret it if you do.

I do our yard mowing edging, but our edger broke, we need a new one, and we are very happy with this unit

It doesn't have perfect balance and takes some getting used to, but overall does a really good job. And no more gasoline cans!

It has a good bit of power, it's a little heavy and doesn't really get those really down deep roots but it does a decent job besides that. I have all other ego products so I gave it a shot

bought for my son for his birthday. he loves the edger and both he and his father say it is powerful and has long battery power. great purchase

Best edge ever, Sharp and clean!

If you need an edger that has power and works DON'T buy this one. Super expensive for a low power, low quality tool. Unless you have already edged and just need to touch up a small lawn, this is not the tool for the job

I originally saw it at Lowes, but purchased it here on Amazon at a better price. I have used it twice so far and I’m impressed by it. Definitely has the power to do the job. I have a long drive way and a lot of side walk to edge. It did the job with no problem. I had not edged for a couple of weeks due to gas edger not worhing. The Ego cut through it smoothly. It had enough battery power to complete the job and more. Will probably order the weed eater attachment also. Forget the gas ones and go with battery power.
