Whats the best bed edger?

I will be looking to buy a bed edger in the future. What is the best bed edger out there? I don't need the fastest one, but the one with the best results. I will be needing to make new beds, and re-define old beds. I've looked at the Little Wonder, but I want to know what you guys think. Thanks - Mike

I have a turf teq--not the groomer attachment but the re-definer is best for all applications

Yeah, that's all I'll use I always get a nice clean crisp edge with it. Better than the gas powered ones.

I've got a Whipper Clipper and it's a great edger but does it ever throw up the dust in this dry weather. I look like pigpen when I use it. Good company. I needed a belt so I called WC and the cs lady said don't buy from us unless you have to because it is a common belt so why pay the shipping. I went to Rural King and had my choice of 2, a cheapie for a couple bucks and a kevlar for $7. EZ to install and WC has a schematic on their website.

Try a shovel around here for a few feet...you will like a machine after that.

I have this one:

But I've rented a BedBug...a bit underpowered but I like the height adjustment.

Seems like the Brown is popular around here.
