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.

ted however.There’s no where to put the blue tooth speaker (which is just a cheap looking thing)I don’t think it gives off great heat, I was sat next to it and still freezing.We had it on for a couple of hours and the gas ran out! Very surprised at how much gas it uses! Such a shame as it’s so expensive to buy, which means I won’t really be using it very often.

cheap blower for occasional use in my garden. I was very pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to start - started on third pull with no adjustments to carb (apart from using choke). Pull start feels like it is spring loaded which makes pulling it easy. Good strong blow to shift the leaves, even when wet.

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.

bulous and gives out just the right amount of heat to keep us warm when we get out of the hot tub. We will get lots of use out of this, not just by the hot tub but also on the patio - it’s portable (needs 2 people) - has lockable wheels. Fast delivery and I made some enquiries with the seller - received very fast and efficient responses. Don’t look any further!
