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.

io. The real flame in the tubular insert and design of the tower is stunning. I do feel the heat output could be higher. I love it though! One part of the frame was damaged on arrival but customer service was excellent and the part was swiftly replaced.

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.

sive when using as the sun goes down, and as described. Overall a good product although hard to move around (wheels could be better) - have to remove gas canisters first! Needed to get another regulator to use butane gas via amazon which was quite easily obtained. We strengthened our base with wood to improve it. Not a great amount of heat but nice addition to the patio.

ta potenza senza toccare l'acceleratore. Attrezzo molto pesante e quindi scomodo da usare con la tosasiepi e motosega. Scocca di plastica molto fragile. Capisco che non si possano avere grosse aspettative visto il prezzo, ma così è troppo.

to put together, started really easily, far easier than my 14” Einhell. This chainsaw is just as well made, and what amazing value, 2 bars, 4 chains, bag, toolkit, fuel bottle, funnel, face mask, specs and gloves, for the price tag you just can’t beat it. Tested it on a couple of logs of very well seasoned oak and it went through like butter. Fitted the 20” bar, nicely balanced and easy to control.
