ole saw/strimmer/hedge trimmer set, and it seemed to be pretty well made and reliable. Anyway, this turned up and seemed to be well built, too. However, it refused to start. Now I'm not exactly a stranger to small 2-stroke motors, but this one defeated me for 4 days. Not even the tiniest splutter to indicate it wanted to run, so I contacted the seller to request a return. I got an almost immediate response, including a video (about which I was skeptical) and a request for a phone number and a convenient time for an engineer to call me if the video didn't help. OK, OK, it started almost immediately, so I feel a bit of a prat, but it almost doesn't need choke at all to start and floods as soon as you look at it. Anyway, 10 out of 10 for customer service.
The saw runs really well, and was getting easier and easier to start during the weekend as it started to get run in. Second tank of fuel, and it was running sweetly. (Note: the manual says 25:1 and the saw says 40:1 for fuel/oil, and I checked with Burrowmount to see which was correct - turns out the first tank or two at 25:1 is fine for running in, then back to 40:1). One last log to chop and we're done for the weekend - the recoil starter handle comes away in my hand. OK, so the knot probably came undone, so I took the cover off and no, the cord had been cut through (presumably by the spring) and the starter had sort of self destructed. Anyway, another email to Burrowmount and a very quick reply to say that they were escalating it to their engineers. Three days later and a complete new starter arrived in the post.
So what can we conclude? For the price, don't expect Stihl quality and reliability, but that goes without saying. Chinese QA still seems to be a bit of a lottery, but these guys have the back-up to make up for any quality issues in the products. The other kit from the same supplier is fine, and having sorted it out, I have no reason to think I should have any more problems with this one. Overall, a great set-up with absolutely superb back-up and customer service.

w.. literally 3 or 4 pulls, then once warmed up it was starting 1st or 2nd time every time. Surprised how well the chainsaw cut too. Almost bought the Hyundai long reach but changed mind after reading all reviews about struggling to start them. So very happy with our choice, let's hope it lasts. Only negative so far, the poles can be fiddly to get in and out, could be coz it's new tho.

bon rapport qualité/prixMontage très simple démarrage dès le deuxième coup de lanceur (grâce à la goutte).Niveau sonore correct pas trop de vibrations, pas très lourd, échappement arrière ce qui évite de se bruler (par rapport à d'autre qui l' ont sur le coté) Matériel de sécurité inclus : lunettes de protection, casque anti-bruit, gants...que demander de plus, il y a même une clé à bougie ainsi qu' une bougie de rechange et un bidon gradué pour préparer le mélange.Ma femme l' a utilisé sans problèmes ni fatigue.Je suis très satisfait de ce produit
