Deejay, I agree about the off-topic part, but I don't see the Victa edger as the complete answer. It seems like a compromise. The Imp is better on the straights, because it has the cutter at the midpoint of the wheelbase, and has a long wheelbase and a huge cutting diameter (about 18" - I haven't measured it) so it gives a straighter cut-line without trying. The Victa is better on curves, because of the small cutting diameter and the tilt, but there is a problem in tracking because it cuts up near the front wheels, and the back wheels make it difficult to follow the curve accurately except by lifting them off the ground. The Imp has very precise depth control, and I don't think the Victa does because of the cutter being way out front. Perhaps the best features of the Imp are the Briggs engine - I don't like 2 strokes - and the swing-over handle so you can choose whether to run the wheels along the concrete or the grass. One odd-ball disadvantage of the Imp is the cost of blades. They are quite durable except when you put them to work eating concrete, but at that point they shorten fairly quickly. Since you use them in pairs at $6 each, so far as curve-cutting is concerned, the Imp is just not the right answer.
