In the market for a new sidewalk edger. My 20 year old walk behind edger finally died. I have a string trimmer that will probably last another year.
What’s recommended?
Typical residential setup. Do I go with top of the line string trimmer and use it? Echo or Stihl power head with attachments? Battery or gasoline?

I have battery and gas. ego and echo. The only benefit of battery is I can use the blower indoors or in my inside patio no fumes. I grab the gas weed eater every time instead of the Ego. Buy a can of trufuel or whatever and it's foolproof.

If you're looking for another walk behind, Masport

I have a 40 volt Ryobi walk behind edger. This will be the 4th summer and it does the job. I get a new blade every 2 years.

I have Echo gas trimmer and gas edger, two seperate units.
One day maybe I'll migrate to battery units.

I have an Echo SRM 225 gas trimmer with a 2 stroke engine that is easy starting and adding line is a snap.
I've had this one for 3 years and have done nothing to it but keep putting gas in it, adding string and making quick work of the trimming.
I do only use non-ethanol gas in all my lawn and gas powered equipment.

I have a battery powered ryobi set and like then. Went w Ryobi only because I already had a handful of their tools/batteries
Had a combo, and was not impressed w it’s edging abilities, especially for the first edge of the year. Now have a separate edger w blade and will never look back

I have the Stihl KombiSystem . It is one of those systems where you can use one engine and change the head. First pull and great power. I have the trimmer, chainsaw pruner and the blower. The Stihl is solid.

40 volt Greenworks for all yard tools here, I maintain a one acre lot, and have no trouble doing it, never going back to gas powered. If my zero turn was not fairly new I would be Getty one of the battery powered zero turns. Will neve buy a EV car, but yard work is me application where battery power works really well.
