 Poor Carburetor March 8, 2010
J. Sams (NOLA)
I will agree with many others on this site. The unit is hard to start and will not run after a short operating time. The reason is the carburetor. The thing is poorly designed and Troy-Bilt and Briggs & Stratton will not stand behind this product.
The unit comes with a two year warranty which is one reason I bought it. But when it does not start or run and you take it in they will tell you it is a carburetor problem and that it is your fault for using bad / dirty gas. They will not honor the warranty. The same gas that runs your mower, weed whacker, chain saw, pressure washer and generator just fine. They also fail to mention that the gas cap is indeed vented. The usual repair charge is $60 but after only getting 6 difficult starting uses in less than 6 months I returned it for a refund.
I have never received such rude customer service as I did from Troy-Bilt. Something tells me they are used to hearing about the poor performance of this unit.

I am looking at a McClane now.
Not worth the packing it came in. February 6, 2010

Lowe's, Troy-Bilt and Briggs Stratton are name brands and you expect quality. This edger not only missed the mark, it did not even find the page. Saying it is difficult to start is being way too nice. I took it back to Lowe's once for the starting problem. Rather than 30 attempts to start it, it was now 15-20 attempts. I took it back to Lowe's again, and now they want to charge for the repair. Before taking it back to Lowe's the second time, I took it to a local small engine repair. They quickly diagnosed the problem as a defective carburetor and said Lowe's should warranty the repair. When the primer bulb is pushed, it should shoot gas into the carburetor throat. Mine shoots the gas onto the outside wall, no where near intot he carburetor. The cheap plastic carburetor is the issue. It is probably the same issue with most of the hard start problems. Sad that it appears Lowe's Service does not stand behind their product.

As has been noted by other reviewers, this edger is very hard to start. Priming 10-15 times helps but not always. After a year of frustration, I gave it away.

Put on handle,filled with oil & fuel and it started on the first pull out of the box.This only could be easier if it edged the lawn itself!.I could not be more pleased with the purchase.i have used it the entire season with no trouble and it does the job in 20 minutes.
Received DOA (dead on arrival). Ouch baby... June 5, 2009

I purchased the Troy-Bilt 158cc Briggs & Stratton 500 Series Gas Powered Lawn Edger. The order was fulfilled by Amazon. When it arrived, the box was a bit banged up but not bad enough in my opinion to refuse delivery. A day later I opened the box...
I was shocked how badly it was packed. No filling, no stuffing, just the bare edger floating in a thin box with no paperwork (no owners manual, no warranty, nothing). I also noticed the pull start assembly on top was deformed - most likely due to the packaging, no telling how many times it bounced around on its way to me. So I attempted to dry start the unit; shocks; it wouldn't even turn.
When I contacted Amazon, they told me no return on this unit. I attempted to argue that it was DOA. They said they would not accept return of hazardous materials. Interesting take on their part... It was okay for them to ship out hazardous materials but not accept the same in return - though no oil or gasoline was ever poured into the unit.
Since they would not reconsider, I did the next best thing I could - I contacted my credit card company and disputed the charge. We'll see where it goes...
All in all, I cannot rate the edger because I could never start it. It may be a great unit. I can certainly rate Amazon, and it's not looking good for them.
