Gas Edger Recommendation?

I've had the Echo for years. Very good and reliable too.

the 225 is cheaper from Echo, if you can afford the 2620, get it, the head is more solid

I may be in the minority but prefer the larger walk behind edgers with 4 wheels

Have had the echo one for 2-3 years, starts easy every time, no complaints

When I had my landscaping company I had these attachments on all my trimmers. I still have one for my personal use... I highly recommend them.

ECHOOOOOOOO

Thanks for all the recs. I'm going to go with the echo.

I will echo that statement.

I know most people either don't like or it is is not practical for them to use corded electric models. I know people really like battery powered models like the EGO or gas models like the ECHO.

My next house (rural with acreage) will be that case and I will definitely go with a gas model.

But for now I use a $70 10-amp corded electric Kobalt power head with a $70 Ryobi Expand-It edger attachment. I have a 100' 14 gauge extension cord that reaches everywhere in my yard where I need to weed eat, edge, hedge, or Pole saw cut.

The power of a 10-amp corded electric power head is amazing, granted you are constrained by a power cord. The 10-amp motor generates 1.6HP which beats perhaps all of the consumer grade gas power heads in power. Take the 28cc 2-cycle Husqvarna power head. It's pretty powerful and generates 1.1 HP, a full 1/2HP less than the 10-amp Kobalt.

Not saying to use corded, but just noting how powerful they are. With the Ryobi edger attachment it edges like its cutting through butter even on the first edge of the year when you establish the edge line through dirt.

If you have a smaller yard and don't mind power cords, corded may be a good choice. The Kobalt has a 5 year warranty and basically no maintenance on the power head, plus no gas or batteries to deal with. The cost is the lowest and reliability is probably the best compared to gas and battery options. But then again there is that darn power cord! Not a big deal to me.
