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.

t would be the same for any tiller. Just wait a week or so for it to dry and remove tree rootes. Moverd it over to an area not so wet and it worked like a dream. Didnt expect so many extras. mixer and gardening gloves really useful not to mention the extra spar plug. That will defintly come in handy because finding the right one is so difficult.
Intrstuctions not fantastic but if you have done flat packs its OK to work from the picture.
Definily a good buy.

h a little heat, and on that front, this heater delivers. Once it gets going, the output from this is excellent. It is very easy to use, and adds a lot of style to the garden. One minor point to note is that the instructions are not quite so clear, however there is a YouTube video from the manufacturer that clarifies everything, so I would advise watching that before set up. Overall, this heater is great and I am very happy with it. To add one last comment, the customer services team are especially supportive! I had an incident where the heater was blown over by unexpected winds, and the team very kindly sent out replacement parts to assist. Do tie down the heater when not in use. I learnt the hard way!

as an anniversary present.When he opened the box all the loose parts looked abit daunting but once they were all laid out on the floor it was pretty obvious what parts went where.It's alittle on the heavy side but once it's attached to the harness my husband said that you dont realise the weight of it.We have an orchard that's over grow with nettles, brambles, grass etc and with the 3 pronged blade on, this beast ate through all of it without fail.Fuel consumption is good.Only disappointment is that it doesn't come with any starter 2 stroke oil. But that's not the end of the world. All in all this machine is a beast, makes easy work of strimming over grow areas. I Think my husband loves it more than me lol.

dÃa de pruebaNo me convence mucho la fuerza del motor que para tener 2,35 cv le falta alegrÃa es como si se quedase a medio gasEn las fotos parece más robusto, en realidad se ve bastante sencilloA ver lo que aguanta y como va con el tiempoEn principio es funcional y mueve bien las ojas pero me esperaba algo más de alegrÃa en el motorPor lo demás bienMe llegó dentro de la fecha que me dijeronMás bien el primer dÃa de los que me dijeronTuve que preguntar varias veces porque no me aparecÃa le información de seguimientoY al final todo genialSiempre me respondieron a los mensajes con mucha amabilidad y rapidezCon el vendedor muy contentoLas herramientas son sencillas pero de momento quitando lo del motor que le falta alegrÃa todo bien

g you need including a small tool kit fuel mixing bottle and funnel. Slight issue with the handle screws but easily resolved. Started first time following the instructions, I bought the extra extensions poles and when all used it can be difficult to move but that is expected. I would highly recommend this product for ease of use, value for money but also really good quality.
