I have owned this weed-eater for one lawn season. I am a college student and have a few lawn customers. What I can say about it so far is that it is not a commercial machine. I can’t tell you how many times I have had to sit there and pull the string 100 times before it starts sometimes. I have replaced the spark plugs and even took the carb apart to make sure it was clean and adjusted right. After cutting one lawn for the day after it’s hot it doesn’t like to start again until it is cooled down. The head on it is garbage if you buy it first thing you need to do is go buy a echo speed feed head. But all in all when it runs it’s been a good machine i find it a little too week while edging and always hogs down. It has lasted longer than I thought it would though. I would not buy this weed-eater again. If you are in the market go with echo hands down far better machine the one I bought recently runs circles around this one and it has a bigger motor and is lighter. I have put many hours on this machine and it has paid for itself. All I can say is you get what you pay for and echo is the way to go. And by the way I use non-ethanol fuel in all my machines so there is no reason for it to have the problems with running stated above.

Purchased a week ago, used it for the first time yesterday on 2.3 acres. New home and the the lawn hadn’t been edged in years. Was tough to get through the first edging, but now that I have a good edge the upkeep will be a breeze! Many trees on the property and lots of grass had not been trimmed out for years. The string ate right through the heavy mat no problem without bogging down. Glad the tool came with a full spool. I used it up the first day. Luckily I got 95% of the way through the property. Already ordered up string before I got started knowing I would use it up. The unit is solid,easy to assemble and has plenty of power to manage the acreage. Good purchase and I recommend it for light to medium work for residential or commercial work. Feels sturdy enough to hold up for years! Trust me, it’ll get a good workout with me!

Very good Trimmer. Glad I bought it.

Both the trimmer and the edger attachment works well. Great for the price!

I’ve had this product for over a year now and have had no problems. It edges and weeds with the best of them. Easy operation nice power makes edging and weed eating a breeze

I struggled to start it, My son struggled to start it. With the edger on the engine struggled to maintain speed to get a good clean cut. When changing attachments it is very difficult to start and the spark plug boot pops off very easy. I would not recommend

Very heavy

Great trimmer

Good to go.

I bought this combo (trimmer/edger) three years ago. I have run the heck out of it and it has performed beautifully. I am now in the process of doing a slight rebuild of the unit. I have ordered an new muffler assembly (which includes the muffler, screen, gasket and heat shield), spark plug and fuel filter. Replacements due primarily to my use of gasoline with ethanol. I have since changed to the pre-mixed fuel that does not contain ethanol. This trimmer has performed outstandingly since I purchased it. Starts every time, runs like a top including the auto feed trimmer head. With normal maintenance and care I expect this trimmer to run well for many more years.
