Now that spring is finally here, it’s time to give your home a thorough overhaul — including your yard.

After a long and chilly winter, your lawn deserves a little TLC to help boost the curb appeal of your home —and set the scene for plenty of spring and summer fun.

Like any household task, having the right tools for the job is important to ensure you’re working smart — not hard.

One way to get the pristine lawn of your dreams is by using an edger, like the Worx 12 Amp 2-in-1 Electric Lawn Edger, available on Amazon Canada for $147.

The 12 Amp 2-in-1 Electric Lawn Edger allows you to make precision cuts using three different blade positions and includes a trenching feature.

Electric trimmers make vertical cuts rather than horizontal cuts like a trimmer, making it ideal for creating boundary lines between your grass and patio stones. The adjustable shaft and pivoting handle allows you to comfortably navigate the edger to expertly cut around flower beds and hard surfaces.

What people are saying

Worx’s electric edger has earned a 4-star rating based on more than 70 global reviews. While there aren’t a ton of reviews, the electric edger has been called a more efficient alternative to nylon cord edgers, making it easier to create a straight line without having to “re-wrap” the nylon cord string.

“This unit made very quick work of edging,” one person said.

Others have called the edger an “excellent product” that does a “beautiful job” and a “very powerful” tool for residential lawns.

One thing to consider is that the edger doesn’t work like a trimmer — so it might take some time to get used to its features, or might not be the tool for you. Another thing some shoppers have noted is that replacement blades aren’t available on Amazon, so you’ll have to visit your local hardware store or Worx’s website to locate the correct blades when they need replacing.

Verdict

If you’re looking for an easier way to keep your lawn looking its best this spring and summer, Worx’s 12 Amp 2-in-1 Electric Lawn Edger is a great investment for your home. However, if you’re not looking for vertical cuts and only looking to trim, you might want to pass on this piece of equipment.
