Does the Husqvarna 122LKE need mixed fuel?

Yes. It runs on a 50:1 gasoline-to-two-stroke-oil mix, like Husqvarna's own pre-mix or an equivalent. Straight gasoline will damage the engine.

How deep and wide does it cut?

It cuts up to 2.5 inches deep and 2.5 inches wide with its 8-inch steel blade. That is enough to re-cut an overgrown edge along concrete or asphalt.

Is it better than a battery edger?

It runs as long as you have fuel and has no battery to charge or replace. Battery edgers are quieter, lighter and need no fuel mixing, so pick gas for long jobs and battery for smaller, quieter yards.

What attachments does it take?

It is set up for Husqvarna attachments, so the edger head can be swapped for compatible trimmer or other attachments within that system. Check the attachment's fit for the 122LKE before buying.

Can it be used in wet grass?

It carries an IPX4 rating, so light rain and damp grass are fine. Do not hose it down or leave it out in heavy rain.

The edger comes as a unit with its 8-inch cutting blade and standard handle. Fuel and oil are not included, so plan on mixing your own before the first start.

Our take on the Husqvarna 122LKE Lawn Edger

The Husqvarna 122LKE is a gas-powered walk-behind edger built around a 21.7-cc two-stroke engine rated at 0.8 HP. It cuts a 2.5-inch-deep, 2.5-inch-wide trench with an 8-inch steel blade, and the Smart Start system with air purge cuts down on pull-cord effort. It suits homeowners with long concrete or asphalt edges who want gas power without a cord or battery. Against battery edgers it runs all day without charging, but it is heavier, louder and needs fuel mixing.

Best forHomeowners with long driveways and sidewalk edgesLarger yards where a cord or battery would run outBuyers who prefer gas power over battery platformsCleaning up overgrown edges along concrete and asphalt

Pros

Smart Start and air purge make pull starts easier
2.5-inch cutting depth handles raised turf and overgrowth
8-inch steel blade is a common, replaceable size
IPX4 rating shrugs off damp grass and light rain
Light for a gas edger at about 13.6 lbs

Cons

Two-stroke engine needs 50:1 gas-oil mix
Small 10.14 fl oz tank means frequent refills on big jobs
Gas engine is louder and smokier than battery edgers
No cordless convenience; pull start every time
