Best Lawn Edgers in 2027

The Greenworks ED80L02 is a battery edger with an 8 in blade. Its max cutting depth is 2.25 in, the deepest of the four models that list it. That depth matters when you want a clean, crisp border that stays defined after mowing. It also offers 5 depth positions, more than any other edger here.

Handling looks strong on paper. A curb wheel is listed, which helps you track along a driveway or sidewalk edge. Depth changes need no tools, so you can adjust as you move between firm soil and softer beds. At 10.3 lb, it weighs more than the two lightest edgers here but less than the other two.

Check the power setup before you buy. The battery and charger are not included, and the listing says it works with Greenworks 80V batteries sold separately. The 4-year warranty is the longest among the models that list one, tied with the 40V model. It leads our ranking.

This Greenworks edger comes with a 40V battery and charger, so it is ready to run out of the box. The battery is listed at 160 Wh, and the listing names it as 4.0Ah. The 8 in blade matches the top-ranked model, and it ranks second overall.

The maker does not publish a max cutting depth or a count of depth positions. That makes border depth harder to judge than on the models that list it. The listing does say depth adjusts without tools, and a curb wheel is listed. It also mentions use on uneven or sloped ground, which helps if your lawn edges are not flat.

At 11.9 lb, it is heavier than three of the other four edgers here, so long sessions may tire your arms more. Its 4-year warranty ties for the longest among the models that list one. Greenworks also lists a brushless motor, but the motor wattage is not published.

The WORX WG896 plugs into the wall, so there is no battery to charge or replace. The listing gives a 12 Amp motor spinning a 7.5 in blade at 4700 revolutions per minute. A built-in 1 ft cord means you need an extension cord. That limits how far you can edge from an outlet.

Depth is the weak point for a keyword about crisp borders. Max cutting depth is 1.5 in, the lowest among the four models that list it. It has 3 depth positions: 1 in, 1-1/4 in and 1-1/2 in. That is enough for light touch-ups, but it will not cut as deep as the 8 in battery models.

Trenching mode is listed, and an adjustable shaft with a D-grip handle helps different heights. At 14 lb, it is the heaviest edger here, which matters on long runs. The warranty is 3 years, the lowest among the models that list one. It ranks third on our list.

At 7.06 lb, the WORX WG898.9 is the lightest edger on this page. Light weight helps when you steer along curves and tight beds. It has dual wheels, per the listing, to stay on track. The weight is stated without the battery, so the real figure will be higher once you add one.

Cutting depth is 2 in across 3 positions, second only to the 8 in Greenworks 80V model among those that list it. Depth adjusts without tools, and trenching mode is listed. The blade is 7 in, the smallest in the group, so each pass cuts a narrower path than the larger edgers.

The tool uses the 20V PowerShare system, and the listing cites up to 2,800 ft of edging per charge. The spec sheet lists 80 Wh of battery energy, but no battery or charger is in the box. The maker does not publish a warranty term. It ranks fourth on our list.

The worksky edger has a 9 in blade, the largest in this group. The listing says its plough blade cuts a wider groove in one pass. The listing cites an 800 W brushless motor at 3500 rpm. It ranks fifth on our list, so check the trade-offs below.

Max cutting depth is 1.75 in, with 3 positions from 1.3 in to 1.75 in. That is a moderate depth, deeper than the WORX corded model but shallower than the 80V Greenworks and the 20V WORX. The listing describes shallow sidewalk touch-ups and deeper garden trenches. No curb wheel or tool-free depth adjustment is listed.

At 7.2 lb, it is the second lightest here, and the tube comes apart for storage. It is compatible with Milwaukee 18V batteries, which you must supply, since no battery or charger is included. The maker does not publish a warranty term, and 800 W is the only motor wattage given on this page.
