I have the Troy-Bilt 4-cycle trimmer with a leaf blower & edger attachments.
They work really well.

Mine is a two stroke so it's probably different. But, it's good to know
that the edger actually works "very well". I might consider getting one.

As for leaf blowers, I ended up with the huge backpack two-stroke 180mph
Echo, which does a decent enough job.

I've had a whole series of two-stroke lawn vacuum/blowers (the type that
has that long nozzle and bag) but almost always:
- The blower is anemic
- The vacuum is pretty good
- But the bag zipper always breaks making the vacuum also useless

Maybe I'll open a separate thread on how to get a better outdoor yard work
vacuum for home.
