Delivery was fine, contents relatively well packaged and secured. Assembly was easy enough. But depth adjustment handle was installed backward at the factory with a very, very tight nut on the floating spring. I had to turn it around once I realized that was the problem based on pictures of what it should look like in the correct position.
The Honda engine started well; I will only run alcohol free gas.
Throttle remote axle nut took some tightening to stay put during vibration, not a big deal.
I got about 20 minutes of operation before the factory belt shredded. Yes, I was slowly cutting some thick grass edges at about 3/4 of full depth. The shroud housing around the blade tends to collect packed grass. I don't know if that was adding drag to the blade such that the belt rubbed.
After ordering and installing a Saidico 30 inch 4L-300 belt (a replacement and a spare), the unit is running well.
The square rubber "mud flap" guard held onto the blade housing by a comb of metal tabs came off early in use. It was easy enough to put back in but the tabs don't hold so well. I've left it off so grass doesn't pile up when moving forward.
For a heavily grown edge, I find it easier to use pulling the edger backwards so grass doesn't pile up under the blade and wheels. After the first cut, the next cuts seemed to clear ok by pushing forwards. I've used it both on sidewalk for typical edging and in grass when edging along landscaping pavers. I sure wish it had an edge guide to minimize the blade striking the concrete, but I understand that's how the pros use it. I'll just practice.
It really is a good edger, and Honda should last forever.
I've used it now through several more rounds of much trimming and it's doing fine, starts with a pull or two, cuts well. I'd buy it again.

Item delivered ahead of scheduled time. It was well packaged with no damage. I assembled per a YouTube video. Have yet to start it. So far, so good. I would recommend Arlington Power Equipment Inc for your lawn power tool needs.

This is a really nice machine. It took a bit to get it all set up properly and I had to replace some hardware but it works great. It started on the second pull and has plenty of power. Makes nice clean edges.

I love my new edger. However it did come without the manual so I had to YouTube how to install and start the machine! I must say I do love it so far! Hoping to have it for many years.

Engine appears to not reach sufficient rpm to stay running when the edger hits a hard spot in the soil. Blade depth is less than one inch. Unit hits a hard patch and stalls out. Not pleased with my purchase.

THIS MACHINE IS A BEAST......IT IS A SOLID MACHINE THAT DID EVERYTHING I EXPECTED.....ALSO THE SHIPPING FROM WHEN I ORDERED IT TO WHEN I GOT IT WAS UNBELIEVABLE IT ARRIVED IN ABOUT 30 HOURS.
