I purchased this edger to replaced one like it that I used successfully for several years. It was light weight and easy to use with good results. Unfortunately, edgers like this were unavailable in the local market, so I bought one on line, refurbished with a 2 year warranty. After using it ,perhaps twice, the present edger resembled the old edger did...it did not edge. I contacted the shipper who directed me to Black and Decker who referred me to the agent in New Orleans who advised me to bring the edger in for repair. New Orleans is at least 75 miles from my home and it will be a pain in the neck for me to get there. Meanwhile, the grass is growing over the walkways. I am so disappointed.
