Great tool! Works well and just the right weight.

If you are looking to move away from gas-powered yard tools without sacrificing the torque needed to cut through overgrown turf, a 60V 8-inch edger is a powerhouse choice. It delivers professional results with the convenience of a battery, though it falls just short of a perfect score due to a specific design limitation. Power and Performance The standout feature of a 60V system is the brushless motor. Unlike lower-voltage alternatives that might bog down in thick turf or damp soil, this platform delivers consistent RPMs comparable to a small gas engine. The Blade: The 8-inch steel blade provides a clean, sharp trench. It handles "first-of-the-season" edging—where the grass has completely overhung the concrete—with surprisingly little resistance. Consistency: The power delivery remains steady even as the battery level drops, ensuring the last foot of your driveway looks as good as the first. The 4-Star Trade-off: Blade Adjustment The primary reason this tool receives 4 stars instead of 5 is the lack of an adjustable blade angle. While the depth is usually easy to set, the blade itself is fixed in a vertical position. The Limitation: Without the ability to tilt or bevel the blade, it can be difficult to achieve a specific angled "V-trench" or to work comfortably along uneven curbs and flower beds. The Impact: For most standard sidewalks, this isn't a dealbreaker, but for those who want maximum versatility for custom landscaping angles, the fixed blade is a noticeable restriction. Ergonomics and Handling Transitioning to cordless brings a massive improvement in user fatigue: Weight Balance: Without a fuel tank or pull-start assembly, the tool is much lighter and easier to pivot. Low Vibration: The lack of a combustion engine means your hands won't be buzzing after 20 minutes of work. Instant Start: No priming or fuel mixing—just pull the trigger and go. Battery Life On a standard 60V battery, you can typically edge a standard suburban lot twice over on a single charge. Heavy cuts through neglected sod will drain the power faster, but for routine maintenance, the efficiency is excellent. The Verdict Pros: High Torque: Easily rivals 25cc gas edgers. Quiet & Clean: No fumes and low noise. Rugged Build: Feels like a tool built for long-term use. Cons: Fixed Blade Angle: The inability to adjust the blade angle limits its versatility for complex landscaping. Platform Cost: Batteries are a significant investment if you aren't already in the ecosystem. Final Thought: This is a high-performance machine that gets the job done quickly and quietly. If you primarily have straight, flat runs, you'll love it. However, if your yard requires varied cutting angles, the fixed blade is a drawback to consider.

The edger works perfectly for my needs. I have looked for a battery powered edger where I can swap batteries with other tools needed to maintain my yard. I bought the tool-only and may need to get an extra battery since I use the Greenworks Trimmer along with the Edger.

I had been eying this product for months and finally purchased it. This edger is a great addition to my Greenworks collection! Runs effortlessly, feels very well balanced when using, and has upgraded my lawn from DIY to Professional grade! Another great product by the Greenworks team and a continued happy customer.
