Truly pathetic... [Posted on 2005-05-21]
I am not given to writing negative reviews and I cannot ever recall giving anything one star before, but this machine is a joke.

I have probably used 6 different types of 'weed whacker' over the years and this is by far the worst starting machine of any kind (even given that 2 stroke engines are the work of the Devil) I have ever attempted to use.

Apart from being a nightmare to start, the wretched thing cuts out prematurely after a max of 10 minutes, either due to overheating or a lousy fuel system.

Maybe I was just unlucky with this particular machine, but this monstrosity should never have slipped past quality control. That is, if they even have any.

GREAT MACHINE FOR THE MONEY [Posted on 2005-07-08]
the other guy must have gotten boned. i have run many wackers in my days and this one ain't so bad. for the price i would say it is great. the engine starts great, the bump release works reliably, what more could you ask for.

Great price [Posted on 2005-08-29]
This was definantly the best I found for the price. Works great. Shipping was fast. I would recommend this product to anyone needing a gas trimmer.

Bang for your buck!! [Posted on 2006-07-19]
I got mine at an excellent price and quite satisfied with its value. It is a bit difficult to start at times - you have to lay it on the ground and hold it down with one hand for leverage while pulling the rope with the other. But the ease of using the tap-head reel advance makes up for that. My only other complaint is that i feel its a bit too noisey and I'm usually left with a slight ring in my right ear afterwards. But this is the case with most weed trimmers and you really should wear ear protection when using trimmers and mowers.

I recommend this buy.
