I was delighted by how much control and precision the telescoping pole and rotating head provided as I edged my lawn. Now, with both the wheels and the flower guard removed (I didn’t have to remove either, but I figured why to have them there if I wasn’t going to use them), it was time to edge the lawn. I also removed the metal flower guard on the front, which I found to get in the way while trimming. So, a feature I was initially excited about turned out to be a bust. The line never got low enough to edge my yard, and there wasn’t any way to adjust the height of the wheels. To my dismay, I am not sure if my lawn is tall enough compared to the sidewalk, but edging my yard this way didn’t do anything. One of the first things I tested was the edging feature and adjusting the head so I could roll the wheels along the cement to the edge of my yard. Once the battery testing was complete, it was time to take the trimmer to the yard. It took one hour and 46 minutes to completely recharge the battery. Next, I tested how long it takes to recharge the dead battery. The battery lasted an impressive one hour and 26 minutes of non-stop use. I taped the trigger down and ran the motor at full speed until the battery was completely drained. Once it was powered, the first test I performed was the battery test.

I found this useful when trying to trim between two objects, like the spigot in my front yard and my porch. You can quickly press down on the tab near the head and rotate the head to your desired angle. It’s a small thing, but I thought it was convenient. Either way, this activates the ability to pull the lever and start the motor. As you hold the handle, with your middle, ring, and pinky finger on the lever, you can use either your thumb to push the safety button inward or your index finger on the other side of the handle to push it outward. To start the machine, you must press the safety button before pulling the lever to start the motor. Once the handle is attached, though, there will never be a reason to remove it-just something to consider when installing.Īnother design feature I thought was smart was the safety button’s disengagement ability on either side of the handle. After checking customer reviews, I’m not the only one with a similar issue. I needed a rubber mallet to get the handle to “slide” into place. The instructions say the handle should slide onto the corresponding tabs. I had difficulty getting the handle attached to the telescoping pole during the installation. I really enjoyed having the telescoping pole length feature. I prefer the trimmer to be a little closer to me to provide more control. As I mentioned above, the length of the trimmer can be adjusted to suit your size, strength, and preferences. The adjustmenting features and the operation of the design were well thought out. It also features a safety switch to prevent accidental starting.(Image credit: Future) Sun Joe 24V-ST14: Design At only 3.5 pounds, Hedger Joe is easy to handle and control, so you can perform a variety of grooming tasks with more comfort and less strain.
