I started to care for my lawn again after a hiatus of many years. Bought a new electric mower from Sears (made for them by B&D) and a manual edger similar to a Sears item I bought many years ago.
My overgrowth at the edges was substantial so I really had to labor with the manual edger. Lots of elbow grease but I managed to dig a decent "trench" at the paving. For the future, however, I definitely wanted something automatic.
I found the B&D Edge Hog here on Amazon and like with many products here I immediately jumped into the Customer Reviews. The 4+ star rating is exceptional for any product and after reading some glowing reports I took a chance on one.
In my first outing, I will admit to causing quite a few sparks against the concrete as I adjusted to using and aligning the tool. After my second outing, having the advantage of some experience and a nice "trench" already in place, plus the value of the edge guard, there was little sparking and the task was amazingly quick and easy. The resulting look equaled what I was receiving from a more professional (and expensive) landscaper who used a huge gas model.
My only problem is that I was unable to see the guide wheel from my vantage point in the rear of the edger. I compensated by using the guide imprinted on the front housing, above the hidden wheel. That was very adequate and the sparks rarely flew. My reserve blade will likely not be needed until deep into next year's cutting season, if then. It's a substantial blade, and in my view well worth the $7 cost.
I have neighbors with 2 in 1 trimmers (the kind with nylon rope) that can be oriented 90 degrees to act like an edger. I can't imagine preferring that over the Edge Hog's solid cutting blade.
Two year warrantees are not easy to come by these days and I was impressed by B&D's willingness to stand behind it that long, especially having just bought a SONY 27" WEGA TV for $450 and its 90 day labor "warranty".
To anyone on the fence about this product, I would add to what the others have said and say "Go for it!"

Really a model LE750 Junior
Have used once to trench and once to edge. I give it a 3 since it works, but cannot comment on the durability as it cannot compare to my decades old LE750 "assembled" in Mexico. This one is from China. Per photos, the handle is less robust and does not have the black grip for holding to the side with the left hand, just a smaller grip directly over the handle that makes you cross one hand over the other awkwardly. Most key is that the shaft is only 1" in diameter vs. 1.5" for the former version. Thus, even tightening the connecting bolt the two pieces wobble. The new version no longer has the side door that covers the blade for safety. Just to show how B&D has cut corners, it does not even have the B&D logo on the shaft nor the orange hubcaps. Perhaps those are not critical but they do keep debris off the axle. I popped them off my old unit and they fit on the new one perfectly. Frankly, I worry about the quality of the motor based on the more flimsy exterior design. Hard to really call this a model LE750 if you ever owned an old one. Just hope it lasts through the 2-year warranty period. Had I seen one in person before buying, I would have passed. Truly a junior version of the original LE750.
