Amazon.com Review
Weed Eater's Poweredge edger is a compact and easily maneuverable way to keep your lawn edges clean and precise. With a gear drive for more torque and performance, the 22 cc, two-cylinder engine has a remote air intake for a longer life. We're especially fond of the Poweredge's Comfortouch antivibration T-handle--it makes operation much more comfortable for long jobs. Offering three cutting depths and a stabilizer arm for consistently straight edges, the Poweredge's 8-1/2-inch blade cuts a variety of clean, deep trenches. Designed for both safety and precision, the blade retracts when the T-bar trigger is released. Two-year limited warranty.

"Junk"
I purchased this edger at my local Home Depot,used it and returned it that day. It simply does not have the power to edge. The blade stops rotating when the engine is under load. Do yourself a favor and spend a little more to get a low end McLane model, you will be glad you did

Sadly Will Not Last
I purchased the Weed Eater 22CC lawn edger at WalMart a few years ago when they were $99. Its a compact unit that does not weight much or take up much room, which is what I was looking for. I have 3/4 acre with long walks on the frontage, and a long turned drive. I didn't want to have to drag electrical cords all over the place, and then have to wind them up later. I also didn't have $299 on up, or the room, for a big full sized edger. So the Weed Eater model fit the bill. I've read the reviews here and elsewhere, and wonder if people read about and understand what they are buying. The unit has a two cycle enging, its going to need its fuel mixed with oil. Its also going to sound like a chain saw because its the same motor thats in a chain saw. DUH!! I've had my unit now for 3 years and never had any trouble with it. Starting was not one pull, but 8 presses on the primer bulb, choke full on, two or three pulls and it would fire. Half choke and full throttle, and she always sprang to life no problem with one pull. I even neglected to clean the air filter and plug the first two years, and never had any difficulty. Performace was perfectly fine. The manual, if you read it, recommends full throttle for edging especially the first time. Remember, this is a small 22 CC motor, not a 3 HP Briggs & Stratton. It always cut the edge just fine and would only bog down when I ran it into the deep grass by mistake, or tried to rush the job. Anyway, in my third season it started fine after the long cold winter, and I used it three times without any difficulty. Then the last use it started to sound like it was suffocating, and I needed to keep the throttle full open to prevent it from stalling. Eventually, not even that worked and it died with about 6 feet of edging to go. I checked the unit, and it was getting spark, plug was new, and clean. Air filter was clean, and it was getting gas. I assumed it got debris in the carb as it would run if I poured gas into the spark plug hole and held the throttle wide open. I took it in to Suburban Lawn Equipment in Delaware, and they chraged me $25 to tell me it had low compression and that the cylinder was loose. Duh!! Try tightening it morons thats why I brought it to you. Not a recommended shop except to buy parts. So now I have a unit thats $150 new, and I think thats WAY too high as I can get a nice 4 cycle Troy Bilt for $199. So even though I had reliable service from this unit for almost three years, I don't think its a good value at todays price of $150. At $99 I think it was on the edge of being overpriced, but still disposable if presented with a situation like mine. So old betsy is going out to the trash, and a new 4 stroke Troy Bilt is com'in in.

Poulan/weed eater v2 cyc edger
Bought one. Love it. Light weight, easy start. I have a lot of edging to do and it works well. Take care of it and it will work well for you. The blade stops if there is more than the engine can cut. It is made that way. Perhaps some folk do not read the instructions. I would purchase this product again.
