Picked the $30 hand trowel over the $120 power one for my patio job in Phoenix

I was resurfacing a 400 sq ft concrete patio last week and figured a power trowel would save my back. Rented one for $120 but it kept bogging down on the edges and I spent more time fighting it than smoothing. Swapped to a $30 marshalltown finishing trowel and got way better results in half the time, lol. The rental place guy even laughed when I brought it back early and said I made the right call for a DIY job like mine. Has anyone else had a tool that looked better on paper but totally flopped in practice?
