Do you operate the edger with the wheels on the sidewalk or in the yard? Thanks!

The wheels are on the left side as you operate so it depends on operator. I use it in the direction which has the wheeles on sidewalk or driveway. Of course, it also will work with wheels on ground when doing around flower beds. Hope this helps.

I have always had the wheels on the sidewalk. I suppose you could put them on the grassy side but would be not as smooth of a surface.

The edger works far better with the wheels on the hard surface sidewalk or street.

For sidewalk edging I operate the edger with the wheels on the sidewalk. For curb edging I have the left wheels on the curb and the curb wheel attachment on the street.

Sorry I can't say I know i got it for my grandson & I never saw him ride it in the grass, however he did enjoy it on the sidewalk & driveway

Although I don't have sidewalks I use to edge where grass is over growing a gravel path. I think you'd find it a useful tool. It's very sturdy too.

Tom - I am looking for an edger with a fixed guide. You said yours has one - what make and model do you have? Thanks!

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 runninguntil I so direct.

My yard is a pretty decent size (borderline big enough for a riding mower) and the edger/trimmer 24v battery lasts long enough to edge and trim all of my front and back yard...then I usually have to plug it in while I mow the lawn so that I can use the blower when I'm done, but it lasts quite a while and works great. I have used it for the dreaded "first cut" of the year and had no problems with it trimming the taller grass down (roughly 6" in some areas)

I roll it on decking and then have moved it to driveway. No problems in either area. have not tried to swap wheels and would not wheels are great. I have both small and large one. Plan on buying another for my blueberry on a large. Both of those I have now are used under lemon trees so they can be rolled in the garage when we have freezing weather.

After edging aprox 280 feet of sidewalk, on both sides Plus 40ft drive way both sides and the walkway to the front porch and a sidewalk arond one end of house. The blade is worn almost to the theholes that are the point to change the blade. I don't know the time range as it was done in stages, not all in one shot. but the notches are worn off almost to change hole. does good job. Chas K.

Not well. Wheels are plastic with no grip. Sidewalk and inside the house work great.

The blade is the guide, all you need to do is run the blade next to the edge of the sidewalk or curb...

Hi I have a Ariens 42" riding mower and I have a steep embankment. Once i'm at the bottom of the embankment and near the water, my rear wheels spin while mowing alongside the canal. Any recommendations? Thank you

The Auger is supposed to pull the blower along. In most cases the surface is not smooth enough catching on cracks in the sidewalk, ice, gravel etc. Even heavy wet snow will keep it from moving forward! Whats the fix? Self propelled is my best gues so far. This machine is meant for a nice paved drivway and smooth sidewalks.

I just purchased the Worx GT unit and love the way it edges my driveway and sidewalk. It cuts a sharp thin line about half an inch below the concrete edge and does not kick up a lot of dirt or grass clippings. It takes a little getting used to before you find the sweet spot for best results. I don't use my Sears gas powered edger anymore. Guess I'll try and sell it at the next garage sale.

unless you have a place like paved or cement driveways or sidewalks it probably will not roll outside the wheels are simlar to roller skates

not super well, the wheels can slip a little bit, however, I simply put some grip tape that you can buy here on Amazon or at a local hardware store and it solved the problem. It works great outdoors on the sidewalks though without the tape

We've never had a green machine, but we got the rip rider last week and my kids love it. It is super lightweight, which would make moving it to the sidewalk easy in your case. It certainly will need to be carried or pushed because it would not ride well on gravel or grass. I would suggest checking out the weight of the green machine and comparing the two in making a decision.
