Rotary scissor edge trimmer

Has anyone used one of these rotary scissors? I have seen them on Youtube and seem to be good but I wonder how they are for edging flower beds.

I use a Flymo strimmer.
It can be turned on its side to use on lawn edges.

I want one just to see but for 300 bucks there are too many options including dedicated edgers that are 1\3 the cost. I like the idea of less damage and a scissor cut.

You can get them directly from Japan for under $200 with free shipping. They have a different part numbers. I contacted the company and this is what they said

Is it a string trimmer? What I like about this is that it actually seems to cut the dirt.

It is scissors, so a cleaner cut and with the stationary blade you cannot overpenetrate bark on trees, wooden fence post bases etc.
