Easy to start, that is after I figured out to press the choke button, I was looking for the little lever, there isn't one. Powerful, good torque, less noise. It seems to cut best if you don't run it at full tilt. I wish it could be locked at a set speed so I would not have to hold it in halfway. Not thrilled about loading the string. I think it is tricky. It's like loading two spools at the same time. I think you could buy a different head for it, but I have not tried yet. Maybe I will get better with practice. All in all I really like it. Would recommend it to anyone.

I like the weedeater so far, have only used it once. The power is great but seems a little hard to start. Guess I will catch on to it though. The packaging was terrible. Looked like it had been returned and taped the box shut. It had a hole in the bottom and on the side of the box. I looked at it though and the machine looked very good. Glad I kept it.

I read the reviews before purchasing this item, I have owned a corded trimmer over 18 years and wanted to switch to gas powered. I bought this one and it arrived a week sooner than expected. it assembled easily but it wouldn't start with the steps given in the directions, so I googled possible issues, turns out it was a flooded carburetor. A simple technique to remedy that and the trimmer started right up and I had no problem trimming my whole yard. I read that it gets hot" No Kidding" its a gas engine, supposed to; keep you arm away from the motor. Would definitely recommend this trimmer.

Right out of the box, to break it in, we ran it for about 20 minutes at a time then gave it a break. So far we've done about 2 acres no issues, works great. I just hope it lasts for a long time because it's very helpful.

I am quite satisfied with this string trimmer, the 4 stroke engine performs well, actually much better than another that i bought before that lasted just about a year and the carburetor was not well calibrated for the CFM of the engine. The engine wore out prematurely. It was not from the same manufacturer. The only little problem is about a vibration that is generated from the spool, I cannot see what causes that... But in general this trimmer has been well engineered and works well and powerful.

Good product a bit heavy but does the job

Don't waste your money. I haven't even had a chance to use this junk once After filling up with fuel and oil the pull cord broke when attempting to start it. The weedeater is leaking fuel every where. I really believe I was sold a refurbished unit because the fuel tank looks like it had been removed and there is oil leaking from the unit shaft.

Ran good for about two uses now I can't get it to start and now the summer months are coming on us. I need a good reader, but this one won't start if there's anything that I could do to get it fixed or get it replaced, I would truly appreciate it but at this point I can't do it even get it to start

Don't waste your money. This machine will not last but a few months of light use. The handle broke, throttle stopped working, pull start plastic handle broke, wont turn off with the kill switch. And can't get a refund…..

When I got it, the assembly was good and easy, but when I pour gas in it, it started to pour out of the gas tank. There was a crack in the tank when I received it.
