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.

off the throttle cable.
Supplier responded immediately and sent a new throttle cable assembly same day.
Machine does a good job once you master how to manage it especially on stoney ground.
Excellent value for money.

n 50 pounds cheaper than all the competition. I would definitely recommend buying from you. Great packaging. Took around an hour to assemble and it gets hot pretty quickly it also looks fantastic as soon as you switch it on. We love sitting outside at night with it.

den or something than a normal bit of strimming . Used it to clear brambles and nonsense on an allotment which was great, but due to its size doubt I'll be using it anywhere else. Happy with it though.

that let me down I was a bit concerned about buying another one from the internet. How wrong I was this is a fantastic piece of equipment well built and with a amazing set of additions that I did not expect. Comes with a small toolkit which would be handy to anyone that has not got a tremendous amount of sockets in their shed. Came packaged well and the instruction booklet although not straight forward is easy to understand one you have looked through a couple of times. Took around 1 hour to fully assemble all the parts and double check all screws and bolts tight as most machine require that little look over to ensure nothing loose. Fuelled up the unit with 2 stroke oil as per the supplied bottle and attached the hedge trimmer without the extension. Primed the carburettor and pulled the recoil starter and it fired up on the second pull. I proceeded to cut our hedge which was around 3 meters tall and upon first use seemed fine. During use I found it started to run on a little so I rang the supplier up and spoke to a gentleman who was very informative and gave me a couple of suggestions to slow the machine down. Went back to the garden and started the unit up on the first pull with no effort at all, previous manufactures that I had to start after stopping took some time this one did not. I completed the task in hand with ease apart from the very top, as I did try with another extension but I think will need to build my arm muscles up as unable to hold steady. This is no reflection on the machine just me being a weakling. Overall very satisfied with my purchase and feel I have finally found something which does what it says. I was also informed any problems contact direct and they will either talk through if adjustments or if a warranty claim will send direct from their stores. I felt very assured by this company and would not hesitate to recommend this equipment. My only minor snag is the nuts fall out of the extension tubes when you release the locking knob.

ssues building it but mostly just not reading the instructions properly, one cut on the finger near the end getting the cellophane off the sides, had read previously to be careful of this, the product is very big, however we are delighted with it, the heat from it is good and light from it is amazing when you put the heater up full and see the flames going up the glass, good purchase.

The media could not be loaded.
All arrived quickly and extraordinarily well packaged etc... be prepared for a little time to unpack and construct but it's easy to do if you follow the instruction. Its well worth the investment though as they look amazing, everyone comments. And I guess the real mark of customer service is when something isn't quite right, and we had a bent base on the second tower which whilst allowed completion meant it was slightly wobbly on it's feet. I emailed and the replacement part was with me within 3 days and now both our towers are perfect. Absolutely brilliant service and top quality product. If you want flame towers, I've not seen any better than these.
