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.

ng the straps to arrive at a carrying position which is both practical and comfortable is not easy. Similarly, finding the best position for the control trigger so that it is easy to use while still keeping the air nozzle in the optimum position. The instructions are fairly clear, but the illustrations are not very helpful. The machine starts easily and generates high-speed airflow. It comes with ear defenders, gloves and a toolkit and is well packaged.

ulty dismantling it as the housings of the tubes got too tight. Managed to get the poles off and tried to put another new pole in, but couldn’t.On reading the above feedback, someone contacted immediately and wanted to know the exact issue and offered their full support.I explained the issue and they wanted to know which parts needed replacing. I sent them the list of parts and they were posted 1st class, including 2 new replacement chains for the chainsaw, which arrived yesterday.A perfect communication and customer service which proves that they stand behind their products and promises.

lways started really easily, which was something I was apprehensive about, as I've had other cheaper items and they are a pain to start. Second pull on first ever start!!!!It's powerful enough to move the leaves with ease, not so much for twigs unless they are on the small side.

rrived on time and was well packaged. It was easy to put together for anyone with some DIY skills although it is a fair bit of work and takes some time. All the main steel edges are folded over to avoid sharp edges and everything fitted together well. The instructions were ok although some parts were pre-assembled (which simplyfied things). All parts seem to be of a high quality and the look when constructed is very smart. The supplied cover is also decent quality with a zip from top to bottom. The heater looks good when lit giving out a fair bit of light and the heat output is ok although not as much as our previous heater which had a large heater grill and big umbrella reflector to beam heat down - this was expected as it is different type of heater to the previous one. It is easy to manoeuvre without the gas bottle on board but like all of these it is difficult when heavy bottle is in the unit. I would definitely recommend this for anyone who wants a pyramid shaped heater with the flame in glass tube effect.

l arranque. No sé si sus unidades estaban mal o no ejecutaban algún paso del "ritual" de arranque correctamente.Llevo usándola todo el mes de julio y solo puedo hablar bien de ella: arranque estupendo, potencia sobrada...Por poner alguna pega serÃa que huelen bastante los gases de escape. No puedo cogerla 2 minutos para limpiar la entrada de casa y después no pasar por la ducha. Siempre uso mascarilla para evitar dichos gases.En todo caso hasta ahora solo puedo hablar bondades de esta sopladora. Si sigue asà de bien durante años, haré otra review.Edito tras medio año de uso (diciembre 2021). Sigue funcionando muy bien. Sólo es achacable el excesivo ruido (me pongo tapones bajo los protectores auditivos) y el olor a combustión que se impregna por toda la ropa y el pelo obligándote a ducharte según la dejas. Todo lo demás muy positivo en cuanto a potencia y fiabilidad.
