Greenworks Pro 80V 8 inch Brushless Edger, Battery Not Included ED80L00

This Greenworks 80v edger is fantastic. I was surprised at how sturdy and rigid the shaft is - much more so than the very much more expensive Stihl Brushcutter I used for years. I like the adjustability of the blade depth and the power is impressive. You will get more run time with higher amp batteries - I have both 2.0 and 2.5 amp batteries, but if you have multiple batteries and chargers (from acquiring multiple tools) you will never be waiting for a battery to charge.If you have only purchased Greenworks tools, then you are golden. BUT HERE IS THE RUB IF YOU, LIKE ME, THOUGHT THEY WERE STRAIGHT-ACROSS COMPATIBLE WITH THE SAME LINE OF TOOLS THEY MANUFACTURED FOR LOWE'S UNDER THE KOBALT MONIKER AND BLUE COLOR, AS DIFFERENTIATED FROM THEIR STANDARD BRIGHT GREEN.One of the reasons I went ahead and committed to buying the Kobalt line of 80v yard tools was because Greenworks made them and I figured that it would be a long-lasting and stable design platform, being the same 80v system across two different brands. Then Lowe's dropped the 80v line. I was able to get a few more of their tools for great clearance prices and looked forward to switching over to the complete line of Greenworks 80v tools. was very happy to be able to order their edger because it's the exact same power system - just that all of my gear is Kobalt blue.AND HERE IS THE DEAL WITH THAT:They are different. The Kobalt 80v battery will not fit/slide into the Greenworks 80v battery compartment/housing (*as manufactured). - I guess I shouldn't have been surprised - and it could have been Lowe's that required that the stuff made for them specifically would be incompatible. But since it's the same power system, I wondered what the difference was and if I could work-around their obstructionist corporate bs. What I discovered was that the battery compartment on the tools have two long molded channel-guides (male) that match the two long molded (female) channels in the batteries. The vertical placement of the bottom 'rail' in the tool/compartment is positioned in a slightly different spot between the Kobalt and Greenworks 'brands'. But this actually works, because I just used a hand chisel and removed the 'bottom' rail from the Greenworks tool/edger. WA-LA - EUREKA!!! It worked great! It's a great fit, the top rail is more than enough to hold the battery stably in position and the 'lock' mechanism functions perfectly!I am looking forward to buying more tools in the Greenworks 80 volt line without having to replace all of the Kobalt tools I already paid for AND ESPECIALLY the rediculously expensive batteries...

Powerful and easy to use, this edger will cut through anything and everything. I tried the Dewalt but it was frustrating to use - at only 20 volts it was constantly stalling and choking on my thick lawn. This 80 volt Greenworks is as powerful as a gas edger but light and no gas/oil. No back-and-forth. One pass and its quick. Very good purchase and highly recommended.

This is pretty simple to use. Overall I'm happy with it but there are some flaws. Bought this a year ago and figured I'd go over my thoughts as someone who does seasonal yard jobs for work.1. Ergonomics 3.5/5 . I find myself (female 5'5") needing to kink my arm up so I can get a nice deep edge cut in. It can really get my arm stiff using it too long. This is really my biggest problem with it. Adjustable handle would make my life so much easier. Luckily yard edging is mostly seasonal for me and I don't have to do it constantly.User friendly 5/5. This is about as simple as it gets. Battery in, safety switch, and triggerBattery 4/5 : like any of the other greenworks, battery is so-so but powerful overall. If you're doing edging where you got a lot to cut into, you might just wanna buy one with well rated Amp hours.Quality 4/5 have used it for work for seasonal use for 2 seasons. Works well and starts everytime. Durability I'm not sure, lot of plastic but it doesn't need to be super durable. It hangs in my shop so it's not being tussle around with the other tools much.Overall happy with it. Just wish the handle could be adjust so I'm not doing a shrug/arm curl every time I need it.

I am pleased with this electric edger- easy to handle, was long enough for me and does a nice job on the lawn

This review is for the 80v pro brushless edger as I know sometimes these reviews end up on the wrong product. I must say I was impressed with this edger. I only recently took an interest in actually maintaining my yard after looking at it one day and realizing it was one of the worst in the neighborhood. I have several 80v Greenworks products (mower, weed eater, blower) and have been happy with all of them. I had never edged my concrete in the five years I've lived here, so I was a little concerned a battery powered edger wouldn't be up to the task. Anyone that has edged after years of not doing it knows, it's really hard on the blade and the edger to trench down into the dirt and create the edge in the grass/dirt. That said the 80v edger worked really well and really quickly. There was only one spot where the edger bogged down to the point of shutting down and that was likely because I was going too fast. It started right back up and finished the job.

This is a great edger. Has plenty of power, easy to use. I have 3 other 80 volt Greenworks yard tools and am happy with all of them.

I like the simplicity of no longer tuning a gas motor for spark plugs and air filters. No more gas and additives. It’s simply plug-n-play. Literally, just plug the fully charged battery in and go! That simple!With the 80v battery it is close to being just as heavy as my Toro combination weedwacker, edger, blower but it’s a breeze to just insert the battery and go.No more hard starting issues.As a matter of fact most all my garden tool are battery operated from Greenworks. Charging the 80v battery is pretty quick.

Gave up on the edger attachment for my Greenworks that you can switch out the tool due to it not being very powerful. The standalone edger is 10 times better.

This is the 3rd piece of equipment I have purchased from Greenworks. It takes me less than 10 minutes to fully edge my lawn. With the electrical cord edger it took me 25 minutes. Fast, powerful and easy to use. Great addition to my string trimmer and blower. Greenworks 80v Pro equipment is the only way to go. I highly recommend them.
