Is this trimmer adjustable? Meaning, can I flip the head around and trim the grass along the sidewalk? Thanks!

Though I feel Amazon.com benefits from us reviewers taking time answering questions and should offer every answer at least $1 off for each reply on our next order I will answer your question: No, you cannot flip the "head" and there is no guide for running along a sidewalk edge, but I like the trimmer, it's powerful, reliable and handle the sidewalk trimming manually )free hand), you just gootta ba good! Plus the trimmer price is right!

Unfortunately, the head does not flip for edging; but the device is light enough to turn it in such a way to allow you to use it as an edger. I have done this and it works very well, especially with its very fast-running engine slicing through the thickest clump of curb over growth.

It will depend on the setting that you leave the trimmer on while running it. There is a dial that allows you to adjust the RPM's based on need. I think you would easily be able to get an hour worth of trimming out of it at it's lowest setting. If you had it on 10 (max) you might get 40 minutes of actual trimming time out of it. I have found that the low setting works just fine for trimming grass and small weeds, if I have a thick patch I just bump it up for the need then dial it back down. You should be fine with this trimmer.

The wheels are not really adjustable. The sweeper can be raised and lowered a matter of inches by sliding the adjustment clamp along a bar and then tightening it . It takes some trial and error but works well when adjusted properly. If this sweepers are too low , it will it will strip the plastic gears inside the wheels. The plastic gears are the only week part of the sweeper. I wish they were made of metal. Nonetheless, when adjusted, it works really well. My lawn looks great this year after sweeping it four or five times last year.

Unfortunately I don't know. We run a lawn business and own 6 of these. It is a VERY good machine. But I take the head of these right off and put on a pivot trim head from my experience they are the best and easiest to use. Hope that helps

Sorry for the late reply. Yes, it's adjustable. But this product didn't work for me. Didn't stay in place, so really couldn't do what it's suppose to do. awkwardly build. I sent it back

The head itself doesn't rotate on its own, but it is moveable by turning the handle while you are using it so you can get around corners, etc. Very lightweight & easy to use. I love it!

30 inchesI've told several other potential customers about this item. I won't advise buying this Yard Machine due to safety issues. It's very light in the front and has flipped upside down on me twice. I wasn't injured either time. The mower works fine if you only use it on level surfaces.My advice is not to buy this Yard Machine, but to each their own.

I really enjoy my McLane edger - can go at warp speed on the sidewalk edging. For the street, I choose to roll the machine on the lawn and simply keep the blade at the inside edge of the curb. Can' t go at warp speed as the lawn isn't smooth, but it does work quite well. I do not have a curb hopper option. This may help and may not - hope it does! Sam

I use it around the flower beds. It is nice and light and you can tilt the head however you need it. It isn't a trencher, but it is very effective in my yard.

Yes is adjustable. It is a little tricky! You have to loosen a small machine with 2 nuts on it to get your heights! All 4 blades need to be adjusted!!!

It can turn inside it's own radius, but doing so is hard on the grass. It dramatically cuts down the mowing time in my yard with a lot of trees and flower gardens to maneuver around.

Yes you can trim the grass on a grave with this trimmer. I have use it to trim around flower beds and have cleared areas that I couldn't get a lawnmower in. Not sure how it would do if you let the grass get too high.

The lawn mower is about 16 inches wide, including the wheels, and about 24 inches long (not including the handle or bag). Yes, you can adjust the wheels for different cutting heights (2?). The manufacturer should be able to give more specific details.

It's twice as long, 36". No problem standing and moving with the trimmer. It does take some skill to get it to the right angle to trim the grass, but it works just fine.

My unit does not stop when trimming a sidewalk, etc. I have used it in a number of angles, higher motor speed, etc., and it has not stopped running until I so direct.

Since it's so light, I had no trouble at all. I could actually use it with one hand pulling it up. Of course if you're walking diagonally, the handle, if too much pressure is applied, will turn and if too much grass builds up on it, the mower deck might slip off, but is easily put back on. Keep in mind this is a string trimmer with a small mower deck, not an actual blade mower.

The length of the shaft is not adjustable. The mid grip handle position can be changed for comfort. I liked the power and performance of this unit but it's about a foot shorter than the gas-powered unit I had been using. I'm 6'2" and the shorter shaft means you have to bend forward with the trimmer...which stresses the back if used for a long period of time.
