Third. Had to place the Leaf Blower up on a high table to actual see the gas primer (just a bit larger than a €0.2 cent piece. Since my fingers are short almost impossible for me to primer the leaf blower. However I found a solution by using the spark plug wench that was included.

I ordered this patio heater on 24/09 and it arrived 15/10. Assembly was done by my Hubby on 18/10 who said it was pretty straightforward and this allowed us to enjoy an amazing evening that night with our neighbour in the garden enjoying a few drinks and chat and not breaking any Covid rules as we were able to sit outside - see first pic. We all remarked at how pretty the thing is when lit up and it really gave off a good heat - we are in Scotland and the nights are chilly here. We used it again on Friday 30/10 for a Halloween party for 10 kids - again, not breaking any Covid rules as we were outside all night. My niece was wearing shorts that night as part of her Halloween outfit as you will see from pic 2 but never complained of the cold once as we had the patio heater on. After the party, Hubby and I moved the heater to a corner of the garden and covered it with the protective cover it comes with. Unfortunately, Storm Aiden and Hurricane Zeta hit on Saturday 31/10 and to my horror was strong enough to knock our beloved heater over and of course the glass tube has smashed. I contacted Burrowmount on Saturday afternoon and explained our predicament and spoke to a lovely guy who said in view of the fact we've only had it a couple of weeks he would send us a replacement tube for free. Amazing Customer Service! And it is due to arrive in time for a wee fireworks get together I'm having in the garden on 5th November so there will be happy and warm kids once again. I've also since purchased bungee cords so this will now always be tethered when not in use to avoid it toppling ever again - lesson learnt!

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!

th Bu-Ko as I already had their 5-in-1 pole 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.

ign abroad we chose this based on the reviews, appearance and price. Yes, it takes a while to assemble and some metal edges are sharp but overall the quality is good. It’s sturdy, throws a good heat over a decent area and is a real showpiece in the garden.

purely because knowhere does it say, that right now you cannot purchase a gas bottle! We found an empty 5 kilo one, from years ago in our garage, otherwise god knows when we could have thought to buy one! It seems restaurateurs bought so many gas bottles to keep customers warm outside, that they're now in short supply and government has put a ban on selling them. You can only swap an empty for a full bottle. The 5 kilo wont last very long but, its all we have! The heater itself is beautiful and now we can try it out!

missing so contacted the seller. They couldn’t have been more helpful or quicker to respond with the missing part arriving the next day.Can’t believe the value for money in this item. The wire brush is £20 and it comes with a cutter and two cord reels. Really happy with my purchase and with the seller
