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.

chased this item before I went away on my holidays however the delivery date they specified was when I was away so I contacted them to ask if they could deliver on a specified day when I returned within 10 minutes of sending my email I had a reply stating that they would deliver on my specified day at no extra cost to myself I arrived back from my holiday and my patio heater was delivered on the day I arrived back brilliant service and the patio heater is first class simple to to put together and looks fantastic far better than my old one with the added bonus of the cover to protect the heater when not in use and it looks great.also as an added curtesy the company also contacted me to make sure that the product was delivered safely without any damage I have recommend this product to a few friends as everything from start to finish was just perfect this is how all companies should treat there customers I will certainly use again thank you.

rtainly fits the bill. It came on time, early in fact and after we had checked everything was in the box and intact (it was) we chickened out of assembling it till the following day. In fact we needn't have worried as the video of the assembly, recommended by the seller, made everything much simpler and we had no problems. The end result was most attractive and enhanced our seating area brilliantly. We had one issue on lighting the heater initially: we contacted the seller and their response was superb. A new part was sent out immediately and this we fitted and all was well. The flame effect, particularly at night is entrancing. We highly recommend both the heater and the seller.

, started within a few pulls of the cord, and having a large garden with trees does the job with ease - also received work gloves, protective glasses and hearing protection which I never expected .
