tle, safety glasses and ear protectors , tool kit and funnel, together with user manual. First impression was a smart looking piece of kit but I have to say it was a bit of a shock to feel the weight as my entire previous experience of a hedge trimmer has been a corded Black and Decker which I had for about 24 years but had just about reached the end of its useful life. Read through the instructions a couple of times ( still a bit confused er the choke positioning) , mixed and loaded fuel ( about a pint) and had a go at my first ever petrol engined trimmer. It fired on about the 3rd pull , started and after a few minutes warm up tried the throttle- wow this is a bit of a beast! Had a try at trimming a small bush , which went well , but a bit late in the day so switched off and left it till following day. Went the whole hog following day- side hedge, and 7 bushes of various sizes and species. Did it in several goes primarily not being used to the weight and power but finished result better than any of my previous trimming and overall was still faster than my old trimmer. Overall very pleased. Looks good and gives a good clean cut . Has plenty of power and in spite of it being quite heavy seems well balanced. So far has started well. If I have one niggle it's the ignition switch which seems very sensitive and I managed to inadvertently switch it off ( catching it with my glove) a couple of times but this may well be my inexperience. Seems good value and if it lasts as long as my previous electric one I will be well pleased. Mind you as I am over 70 it will probably outlast me!

Really lovely looking patio heater. Some reviews say it’s difficult to put together and has sharp edges. I disagree. If you take your time. Watch the video (I kept starting and stopping it at every stage) and refer to the instruction book if unsure and between them, you can’t go wrong. We found it extremely well made with no sharp edges. Took us a couple of hours but we were in no rush. Longest time was taking all of the blue protective plastic off.Couple of tips:Make sure you put the middle tray (that holds the ignition unit) on with the magnets facing the front (so opposite side to the wheels) this will give you access to the controls once it is built. If you put it on the wrong way, you will have to dismantle everything again to change it roundWhen you insert the glass tubes, the clips at the top go outside of the glass.An electric screwdriver will save time if you have one and a wide flat head screwdriver was useful for a few stubborn screwsNever move the heater when it is hot - the movement will cause the hot glass tube to shatter (tip from my gas bottle supplier who also sells these heaters)All in all a lovely addition to the garden and looks stunning especially at night.

luding a spare spark plug and H & S kit. Takes a while to put together and is very heavy. I bought the long reach version and tested it with all 3 extensions and it was far too heavy to use with all 3, and that was using it with the harness. Then tried it with 2 extensions and although it was still very heavy it was just about usable if you have it balanced and adjusted correctly.The extensions are very tight and stiff, even after lubrication and the pinch bolt nuts fall out every time you dismantle the extensions, if you where doing this on grass you would never find the nuts again.The engine started ok but needed a small amount of choke to keep it running even when warmed up.Good value for the money but unless you have good strength you will fine it hard to manoeuvre especially when using the extensions.

, j’ai reçu le souffleur très rapidement.J’ai même pas fait attention si la notice est en Français, j’ai juste suivi les images : 3 trucs à emboiter, c’est vite fait.Ya bien une pompe d’amorçage (c’était pas précisé). Pas eu de souci pour démarrer.Ca souffle fort, plus fort que mon électrique de 1800W, mais je suis content de pas avoir pris plus petit (j’ai le 65cc).J’ai aussi apprécié les petits accessoires fournis avec (gants, casque etc…).Au final je suis vraiment content de mon achat :C’est comme un sac à dos, on ne le sens plus. Et fini cette p***** de rallonge de m**** qui s’emmêle autour de n’importe quoi et qui veut obstinément finir dans la piscine !Ca devient carrément ludique, mais c’est beaucoup plus bruyant qu’un électrique.Le seul défaut, c'est qu'on peut pas couper le soufle (sans couper le moteur): même au ralenti, ca souffle un peu. C'est déroutant au début.

d value for money.The machine is a bit on a heavy side but for the price can definitely live with the extra weight vs much pricier machines.It's cutting/trimming well sometimes it is not so smooth tho.

Some issues with the product but excellent post-sales support

with the unit, but was able to resolve them. A week or so after I got the unit, the grease nipple on the chainsaw unit broke (the threads stripped, so it might have been cross-threaded at assembly, not sure). About the same time, the metal plate which runs under the motor, to prevent it from being damaged by the ground when starting, broke. I contacted support and they sent me a new chainsaw unit + metal plate. A few months later, a piece flew off the strimmer head unit. As before, they sent me a new one. All of the replacement units they have sent me have been working fine. After a good 8 months with no issues, a few of the teeth on the hedge trimmer blades got broken. But as before, they are sending me new blades this week.A couple of other minor issues. One day the unit wouldn't start and I noticed one of the wiring connections had come unplugged, because of the way it was zip-tied (easy fix, just plugged it back in and zip-tied it differently). Recently I noticed the unit would die if I turned it on its side, but then noticed that the hose in the petrol tank, which sucks up the gas, had re-positioned itself such that when the unit was rotated, the end of the hose was no longer submerged in petrol (hence why it was dying). I used a screwdriver to push it back over to the other side of the tank, so when it is rotated it will still be submerged, and it has been fine.Knock on wood the motor itself has worked perfectly and as I said the replacement bits have all worked fine. I would rate it a 3 on function alone, but on the plus side, the post-sales support has been excellent, and they have never hesitated to send out replacement parts when I needed them (for free). So perhaps I have just been unlucky, as the replacement bits have all worked fine.Would I use it all day every day in a commercial capacity, no...but with the repaired bits, it has worked well and helped me to get control of a very large garden (half acre+) which was very overgrown and needed a ton of work.
