Edger was shipped and arrived within few days. I had been aware about entire process of shipment. It arrived in two boxes and required pretty simple assembly. The most obvious problem was the instructions by the manufacturer. It was not written for a layman who hasn't dealt with two-stroke engine yet. It is rather oriented for professional who does not need it anyway.
Engine started after a very first attempt. Not terribly loud, very balanced and forgiving. I have used it already several times. I am not sure about a total length of edge I do every time but it is significant. My previous experience is with four-stroke four-wheel edger. Edger by Tanaka requires different skills than "four-wheeler" and a very steady hand. Critically, one does not need to be much stronger physically to handle this edger.
My general impression is extremely favorable. Lastly, warranty for seven yeas is unbeatable argument in favor of this edger. I will probably write an update later with more personal experience.
