 Good answer to edging but oh so hot July 17, 2010

I have an old Yard Machine, Bolens (?) belt-driven machine that has been a headache for years. The Atom is definitely an improvement with the Honda engine that starts way, way easier and is just plain easier to use and has no belts.
One problem: The HOT air off of the engine, directly at the user, makes it a far better design for a snow blower than a summer time device. I truly did not know that an engine that small could make so much heat. I must have lost 20 pounds after getting blasted with the hot air off the engine while edging. I will be forced by that so-hot air to rig up a diverter to direct the hot cooling air off to the side or up over me. Atom should have identified this problem early on and designed a fix.
Love those Honda engines!
Good Edger that could use some improvements July 4, 2010

I received, assembled and used this Red edger recently. I previously used a Weedeater edger that stopped working.
PROS:
1. Great Honda engine starts right up and easy to add the gas and oil
2. Shaft driven with shaft encased in a protective housing
3. Large cross blades
4. Easy to use controls and trigger
5. Easy to adjust blade height of cut
CONS:
1. Wheel mechanism with the large blades sometimes drags blade on ground
2. Awkward for tall person to hold handles in low position
3. Cross beam made of plastic instead of steel
4. Blade appears to rattle
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Revise the wheel mechanism
2. Lengthen the steel poles to which the hand grips connect
3. Revise blade mechanism so it does not rattle
4. Make cross beam out of steel

The Atom ATDDLX 4-Stroke lawn edger is the best I have ever used -- powerful and easy to operate. Yes, it is expensive but is well-made and really does the job. I spoke to the U.S. distributor before ordering it through Amazon, and he was friendly, helpful, and seemed honest. We have a Stihl trimmer, but we still like the power and design of the Atom, which gives us an edge.
Atom 26cc 2 cycle Edger- WOW... February 16, 2010

I have used the Atom 2600 2 cycle edger for the past 4 years. I am going to order another one to keep in reserve. I would never go back to 'stick' edger. I can walk as fast as I want and the edging looks perfect and with very little effort.
Thanks to whoever dreamed up this way of edging. My Lawn service Buddy cannot belive how easy and effortless to operate.
BTY, I am 76 years old and can edge my 1/2 acre coner lot faster than my Buddy can with his 'stick'..
Wonderful, Best there is...
