How long does the battery really last?

The claim is 45 minutes, but expect less in thick or wet grass and more on light edging. Two batteries let you swap mid-job.

Can it edge along a driveway?

Yes. The head rotates up to 54°, so you can turn it sideways for edging without tilting the whole unit.

It is better suited to small and medium lots. For heavy, overgrown acreage, a gas or high-voltage cordless trimmer is the safer choice.

The trimmer and two 2.0Ah batteries are listed as included. Confirm the charger and any spare line are in the package before ordering.

The 12-inch cut covers more ground per pass and handles light weeds better, at the cost of a little more weight and battery draw.
