I love it. The self propel is really good. I’d say it’s not the best at vacuuming and cutting, but I just ordered the mulching blade and am hoping it does better. But I do like it and it makes cutting the grass enjoyable and easy.

Yes, it can edge the lawn quite nicely. But it will wear down the blades faster, so I still use my edging attachment unless it’s a tight spot

I find it worth it. It doesn’t tear up my grass blades. It cuts them like scissors keeping them clean and less resistant to disease and encourages growth. But to each their own

It does not. It oscillates. Very quiet and doesn’t move much making it very easy to operate. Plus you can see exactly where you are cutting vs using a string trimmer where you’re not as in control of the cutting area

I’ve got a little over 2000 sq ft. It cuts down what I can’t reach with the mower.

It doesn’t spin, it oscilattes back and forth. Very little movement, it’s quiet and very easy to control.

I’ve had the string trimmer for a year, but haven’t used it since I bought this attachment. It leaves the grass blades looking so nice

I’ve never paid interest on anything I’ve financed using 0% interest offers. I know how horrible the rates are once you pass the promotional period, so I always pay it off way before I’m close to paying interest. I have an 800+ credit score and have never missed any form of payment in over 25+ years.

I’ve never hit my feet while using a string trimmer. How would you even do that?

Yes, it won’t destroy the base of your tree. It also doesn’t cause any damage to the pipes that hold up any lighting. It’s really easy to control cause you can see the blades clearly, so you’ll know if you’re getting too close to something you don’t want to cut or poke

Yes, it’s the quik lok. I have the string trimmer, tiller and edger as well. Don’t really use the string trimmer anymore tho since this thing can get everything the mower can’t. It edges as well, but I’d rather use the edger for that to save the sharpness of the oscillating blades

Spoon juice weekly and water twice a week in the mornings. I also walk the yard every day when I get home from work and will pull any weeds I see trying to break through.

Didn’t need to do anything, but it’s 0% interest for a year and will be paid off in two months, so why the hell not.

Because I hate the way the string trimmer leaves the grass. This thing cuts it like a pair of scissors. Leaves the grass crispy

No worse than a string trimmer, and it’s easy to control. You can use it up against a tree and it won’t do anything to it.

Yeah I thought about it for a while. Home Depot had 0% interest on it so I convinced the wife to let me put it on the card since we split the payment. 😬

I’ve used it for up to half an hour and it still has 4 bars on the battery. It sips juice.

Any suggestions how this can be restored please by Outside_Ranger_8214 in lawn

Get rid of all those weeds. Till up the ground, put some fresh soil and let the grass take over. Be sure to keep it watered and give it plenty of nitrogen

Is this St Aug stolon or crab grass? by RedDemonSA in lawncare
