I have a Black & Decker cordless ($84.95) and it has gotten heavy use
for two years. It arrived with a broken handle, I phoned the B&D service
center, they shipped another handle within 2 days, free. I have no
complaints. Before that I bought a new Stihl gas powered, top of the line
trimmer, almost pulled my arm off trying to start the damn thing, noisy,
gave it away the same week I bought it. The Stihl was a real piece of crap.

I'd get an electric lawn edger if you're edging along a sidewalk. There's
no comparison in time savings and quality.

I like the B&D GH600. The head on it flips 180. With the metal guide,
you get a perfect edge everytime!! Automatic feed, no bumping. The
only complaint I have is that by the time I'm done with both the back
and front yard, it's time to rewind the string. But I do a lot of
whacking and edging. They cost around $50 or you can pay more at
Lowes.

I have used a battery Black & Decker for some years (12V) and it does a
fine job. Much better than I expected when I bought it, but I just did not
want to keep fooling with that gas model I had and I wanted the convenience
of no power cord.

I agree with the advice to get a lawn edger if you want to use it
mainly for edging. Troy Bilt makes a gas model with interchangeable
heads, one for edging, one for string trimmer. Don';t know if there is
a similar electric unit. An edger does a better job and is a lot
easier to use, especially if you don't intend to edge every week. I
do it about once a month.
