3 years old, serviced regularly and has never started first time since new,This season with 2 lots fresh fuel and 2 x spark plugs replaced cuts out after 30 seconds of starting and now doesn't start at all. Appears to have no spark at all.
4 stroke technology
Unreliable

My last wipper snipper ended up over the fence more times than I can count and ended up in small pieces but this Honda is the answer to my frustration I actually enjoy doing the edges and cant wait for the grass to grow so I can get out and use it I would highly recomend and would never look at a two stroke ever again.
Unleaded petrol,no vibration,easy load cord,lightweight,perfect length for tall person,one pull start and a very quiet operation

I had a talon 2 stroke before this and had heaps of problems even after having serviced it through the dealer. I was going to buy the makita 4 stroke because of the well regarded name that makita has. My father swears by Honda he has the same brushcutter and a honda 4 stroke lawn mower and never had a problem. I brought it from the local Honda dealer in my town and saved over $200 for the same thing Bunnings warehouse had. All in all I would recommend this product to any one without hesitation
Easy to start. No mixing oil and fuel. Light weight. Easy to change the oil
None what so ever

Used to have a Ryobi - hard to start, lound and heaps of vibration - This Honda starts after one gentle pull - is quiet and vibration free
This Honda starts after one gentle pull - is quiet and vibration free

Tried all the different 2-stroke line trimmers in the market. I would spend close to an hour trying to get them started! with the Honda 4-stroke always starts first pull. Will never go back to a 2-stroke again!
- Easy to Start
- No more petrol/oil mixing
- Great for big backyards
- Light & Easy to carry around

Quality you would expect from a Honda. Very quiet which is a good thing with a new baby I can trim whenever I want. I would never buy a 2 stroke again.
It's light, quiet and starts very easily. I love the way it just idles away just purrs and when I put it down and does so until I return.
none as yet

Don't know why I bothered with the cheap ones, the Honda is just to good !! nice to use,quiet, so good Really!!
Starts first time every time

This unit replaced a 34cc 2 stroke Kawasaki motored whipper snipper (with bike bars) that I'd used reliably for 27 years - so it has a lot to live up to. Previous good experiences with Honda products (& the quiet 4 stroke motor) swayed the decision. My unit was supplied with manual, goggles and a very solid Honda shoulder strap. So anyone buying one without - may wish to go back and claim what should come with the unit.
Nice and quiet, starts 1st time and has plenty of torque with the 4 stroke motor. Easy controls and surprisingly good operating control ergonomics.

if you are looking to buy a whipper snipper, this is the one you should buy. I garentee it will not annoy you. and another bonus is that it is four stroke, so it doesn't need a fuel and oil mixture.
i love this petrol trimmer. Most of my 2 stroke whipper snippers die out and takes me ages to fix and start, but this one has never given me a problem in the 7 months that i have owned it for. It also starts on the first pull which is heaps good.
The only con is that a shoulder strap is not supplied, but with it's light weight i really isn't a big issue.
