Easy start. Powerful motor

published

Very easy start. Four stroke motor. Long straight shaft gets you under trees without yourself being caught up in the low lying branches. Comes with back strap and side body protector. The head distributes the line easily and it chomps through the grass no effort. A little heavy but thats where the backstrap comes in handy. Great entry level split shaft whipper snipper.

Pull start broke after 2 uses. Cheap plastic interior. Shame.

published

The unit is powerful enough. Reasonably well balanced, quite heavy. Started first time. Easily refueled. Reasonable powerful. Line mechanism is a bit difficult to reload and run out. Reliability is awful. I'm already looking for repairs after 2 uses!

Low quality product. Breaks down fast.

published

Was wonky from the start. Not too heavy for me. Worked fine for a year but some plastic parts were broken from the start. It still worked - it was just too much effort to go back to the shop.
Warranty just ended. And now its busted for good. Made in USA. I should have known.

Wasted more money!

published

Bought this to replace an aging Ryobi. First 4-stroke whipper snipper I have ever bought....wow....what a mistake. From brand new, it constantly cuts out. If you accelerate too quickly, it stops. It is heavy and gutless compared to a 2-stroke unit. Parts are non-existent and I had to do a special order to get a spare head for it and that meant a 2 month wait (still waiting when I wrote this). Next unit I buy will be a well known 2-stroke!!!!!!

Would not recomend to purchase!

published

This trimmer operates extremely poor and takes many attempts to start before it works. The trimmer is also heavy weight and stressful on the body when you finally get the chance to trim.
I would not recommend anyone purchase this product, as there are other brands that would provide a better quality experience.

Failed on 2nd use

published

Bought on a Friday,used on Saturday was initially hard to start. Ran Ok but stalled several times. Sunday wouldn't start, eventually got going but would only run at full throttle or stalled.and would take 5 to 10 pulls to start. took back to Bunnings, they argued the point that it was fine. 15 mins of them playing with it, they agreed it was indeed faulty but would not accept it back with any fuel in it. Bunnings would not empty the fuel or help her poor it into her car. Wife had to return home, empty fuel then go back again for the replacement. not tried the replacement as yet.

Date PurchasedSep 2018

Great trimmer

published

Works really well. It's quite powerful but control is easy and don't need to press full throttle to get the job done. I use it on front and backyard, approximatley 400 m2 of yard in total. Changing the line is pretty easy. Very happy with the purchase. Would definitely recommend this trimmer.

Worst trimmer i have owned

published

Very hard to start, will not idle properly. Cuts out when using it. Uses alot of fuel. Has high vibration through the shaft. Plastics are cheap. Bought this so i didn't have to mix fuel anymore, but will be getting rid of this and buying something of better quality. Absolute waste of money

Heavy but works well

published

This cuts really well. I haven't had to stop to retrieve busted chords. Easy to start and runs on any angle. Sounds a bit tinny but I have not yet had any issues. Comes with a carry strap. Being four stroke I no longer have to mix fuel. How much better is that. Great entry level 4 stroke trimmer.

I've been using this unit for a few months now and the only criticism I have is oil control when idle - must be stored carburettor side up or else you have a cloud of blue smoke on startup. Otherwise absolutely brilliant for the price.

You have to prize the cover from the spindle. Good luck with such a piece of rubbish. No more shopping at Bunnings for machinery for me.
