ed me instead,but I was waiting for a call,
I have now had contact by phone from the company and it was all sorted very amicably and efficiently.
They also told me of youtube vids to help with assembly which will be very helpful I am sure.
Therefore I have no problem in placing this review and saying that overall this is a well engineered item and GOOD value for money.

tle, safety glasses and ear protectors , tool kit and funnel, together with user manual. First impression was a smart looking piece of kit but I have to say it was a bit of a shock to feel the weight as my entire previous experience of a hedge trimmer has been a corded Black and Decker which I had for about 24 years but had just about reached the end of its useful life. Read through the instructions a couple of times ( still a bit confused er the choke positioning) , mixed and loaded fuel ( about a pint) and had a go at my first ever petrol engined trimmer. It fired on about the 3rd pull , started and after a few minutes warm up tried the throttle- wow this is a bit of a beast! Had a try at trimming a small bush , which went well , but a bit late in the day so switched off and left it till following day. Went the whole hog following day- side hedge, and 7 bushes of various sizes and species. Did it in several goes primarily not being used to the weight and power but finished result better than any of my previous trimming and overall was still faster than my old trimmer. Overall very pleased. Looks good and gives a good clean cut . Has plenty of power and in spite of it being quite heavy seems well balanced. So far has started well. If I have one niggle it's the ignition switch which seems very sensitive and I managed to inadvertently switch it off ( catching it with my glove) a couple of times but this may well be my inexperience. Seems good value and if it lasts as long as my previous electric one I will be well pleased. Mind you as I am over 70 it will probably outlast me!

ly assembled- 3 hours hard labour .The product is very hard to put together & the instructions have lots missing & forget to tell you bits , thus making you have to take bits apart to actually finish it , the sheet metal is RAZOR SHARP - several cut fingers & knuckles later , *this should come with a safety warning .Now it’s up & on it looks great & nice & warm

up 5/6 years ago. Its outlast a few other machines. Good on fuel. Plenty of attachments. Only just packed in this year. 2022. And I didnt treat it very well.Extention poles / Reach for hedge cutter is great, if your not strong it will be hard to handle at full length.The power of the Bu-ko, ive had 2 different makes just this year none have matched the Bu-ko in the slightest for power. Also just realised how little vibration / feedback you get of the bu-ko as well, compared to others I have.Bad side of it is, the plastic casings / handle , button are cheap and not great. Also the goggles, earmuffs are nasty. After a while the ruber feeders / supports inside the poles that fix the metal rotating bar in place, start to move or twist making it hard to fix them onto the machine / putting other extention poles together.Would I buy again, yes in hindsight. For price its great. Just would be nice if they matched the quality of the engine power with better fixings, casings, plastics etc.Ferrari engine, fiat panda shell.

lew over in the recent storm and have ordered replacement glass tube from Burrowmount. Arrived promptly and received a phone call from them asking if all ok. Would have no hesitation in recommending them as the customer service was exemplary.

house per poco piu di 70 euro mi e stato spedito dalla germania,il pacco era stato restituito in precedenza lo si capiva ed era gia stato aperto e assemblato,non aveva nessun segno o graffio,il libretto di uso e manuntenzione e stato bene sfogliato in precedenza ma l articolo funziona perfettamente.Io lo uso da hobby per il mio giardino e magazzino debbo dire che e utile,non e particolarmente potente essendo una sottomarca...ora non e piu disponibile ma lo trovate in vendita con altri nomi e marche su amazon a poco piu di 105 euro ma e identico ad essi.
