The 12 Best Lawn Edgers – Guidebook

Your lawn mower is too bulky to mow all the corners of your garden? A lawn edger can help, as it is smaller and more flexible than a lawn mower. For a uniformly mowed garden area, an edger is a must for every amateur gardener.

In our checklist for lawn edgers you will find all relevant information for the purchase. You can find the right lawn edger for your garden in our product recommendations.

Checklist For Lawn Edger

Cutting Technique
  • Widely used are edge trimmers with thread. These work quickly and precisely. In addition, the cutting thread does not lose its sharpness when in contact with stones. Many of these models have a rotatable gear head. Thus, if necessary, they can also be used as a classic lawn trimmer on smaller areas.
  • Also often encountered are scissors systems or devices with rotating discs. However, the risk of injury is relatively high here.
  • An edger with replaceable plastic blades is a relatively safe option. It is also suitable for weeds and stinging nettles. However, the blades are quickly damaged or lost when they come into contact with hard objects.
Drive Concept And Power
  • Most edgers have an electric motor and connect to a 230-volt outlet via extension cord. These are relatively inexpensive and lightweight.
  • Devices with rechargeable batteries, on the other hand, have the advantage that you can use them anywhere without any cables at all.
Power
  • An electric edger usually has between 400 and 700 watts of power.
  • More powerful devices are also available, although these with over 1,000 watts in some cases can already be found in the segment of lawn trimmers and power scythes.
Ergonomics
  • To be able to guide an edger precisely, it should fit the user’s body size. Models with telescopic handles have an advantage here.
  • Adjustment to body height is also possible with an adjustable round handle. Many models have this.
  • Very light devices weigh only between 2.5 and 3 kg. They can be carried comfortably without a shoulder strap.
  • Versions weighing up to 4 kg and more, on the other hand, should be purchased with a belt.
Safety
  • Every edge cutter should have a protective device for the cutting tool. This reduces the risk of injury from whirled-up stones.
  • To prevent accidental switch-on, many devices are equipped with a two-hand safety switch and restart protection.
  • An integrated plant guard is also very practical. It serves as a spacer between the mowing string or blade and various obstacles. So you can work very close to fences, trees garden furniture or flower pots.
Manual Edgers
  • Manual edge trimmers are comparable to secateurs. They are especially suitable for corners that are difficult to access, as they can be moved flexibly.
  • Due to the manual operation, this edger is unsuitable for cutting larger garden areas.
