Pretty good — Not as clean as an actual bladed edger.

I mowed lawns for 3 or 4 summers in college. My edges look fantastic with just a string trimmer. The rest of the yard is a different story though.

I get much better edges with my $20 market place black and decker edger.

I just gotta say I never see professionals using metal edgers, clunky, extra costs, more labor for not much more benefit. String trimmer for edging is the best way to do it IMO
I’ve been using a string trimmer for the past two summers, and honestly feel like my edges look just as clean as my neighbor’s who has a proper edger.
That said, the only disadvantage to using a string trimmer is that it’s harder to have a keep a perfectly straight edge since you don’t have the wheel that you can roll along the sidewalk to help maintain a straight line. But as long as you take your time and don’t rush it, a string trimmer works beautifully

An actual edger will always look better 😎
