Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Works Great
Before I got the Ryobi, I was edging with a Black & Decker electric edger. The electric B&D has 1.5HP and I know the Ryobi gas engines are rated at about 1HP so I was a little skeptical. My fears were diminished, however, after my 1st use. My 875r 4-cycle seems to have plenty of power to work the blade. I was able to do many areas with a single pass, whereas I always had to work "back & fourth" with the B&D unit. Also, it sure is nice working with gas-- no more extension cords!! When you're done, you can hang it on the wall; taking up less space than a broom.
Rating: - You really can't beat it for the price.
My best friend has a dedicated edger. It's large, expensive, takes up space and can't edge any better than this TrimmerPlus accessory.
I've used mine nearly every week of the lawn mowing seasons for the past two years. My edges look great!
I finally replaced the original blade (well worn after 2 years worth of use). The new models (or replacement blades for your old model) now have a large v-shaped notch (scallop) at the edge of the blade. It makes cutting more efficient than the orignal rectangular blade.
After a few months worth of use I finally did discover (as did several others who've reviewed this item) that it really does work best to walk backward. I find that with this technique I can edge my sidewalks, drive, and curbs in one pass.
If you've not edged before and have overgrown edges (I moved into a new home where the edges hadn't been maintained) it will take longer the first time and requires a slower technique. Move the unit back and forth (like a vacuum cleaner) to nibble & carve away the soil & grass to create a new clean edge. After the initial cut to regain control of my edges, it's a snap to run the edger through once weekly or bi-weekly.
Rating:  - Good add-on edger, but weak motor to drive it
...The edger itself so far is working well. However, it appears that the drive motor or the gear set of the Trimmer was not built to withstand an extended load from the edger. After using the edger for about 10 min for the first time, I started smelling a buring odor from the motor. So I had to let it cool before I continued. Of course it may be possible that it was my first time edging the lawn and the blade had to work harder to cut into the grass and dirt. My Trimmer is an electric unit. Maybe the gas powered Trimmer has a more robust motor.
