"I upgraded from an electric 10" trimmer to this model. Wow! Used for 1-1/2 hrs, did the whole yard's trimming, never broke a string, and used such a small amount of fuel. Amazing! No smell of 2-cycle exhaust at all. Relatively quiet. Powerful with a wide cutting swath. Could handle everything I threw at it. No trouble starting or warmup. And my purchase came with a free electric starter!! I haven't used the elec starter yet as manual is so easy. Easy on the back as well. Such a great product for the price. Job well done."
"Never any trouble with this machine and it's powerful enough to get at overgrown weeds and strip down the flower garden at the end of the fall season."
