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.

Seems ok so far. The handle’s not great but it’s good for the price I’d say.

e easiest part.Second the mixing of fuel took out the quests work with the Gas mix bottle that was providedThird. Had to place the Leaf Blower up on a high table to actual see the gas primer (just a bit larger than a €0.2 cent piece. Since my fingers are short almost impossible for me to primer the leaf blower. However I found a solution by using the spark plug wench that was included.But a very Powerful Machine

, j’ai reçu le souffleur très rapidement.J’ai même pas fait attention si la notice est en Français, j’ai juste suivi les images : 3 trucs à emboiter, c’est vite fait.Ya bien une pompe d’amorçage (c’était pas précisé). Pas eu de souci pour démarrer.Ca souffle fort, plus fort que mon électrique de 1800W, mais je suis content de pas avoir pris plus petit (j’ai le 65cc).J’ai aussi apprécié les petits accessoires fournis avec (gants, casque etc…).Au final je suis vraiment content de mon achat :C’est comme un sac à dos, on ne le sens plus. Et fini cette p***** de rallonge de m**** qui s’emmêle autour de n’importe quoi et qui veut obstinément finir dans la piscine !Ca devient carrément ludique, mais c’est beaucoup plus bruyant qu’un électrique.Le seul défaut, c'est qu'on peut pas couper le soufle (sans couper le moteur): même au ralenti, ca souffle un peu. C'est déroutant au début.

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.

decepcionado por partida doble. El producto sufrió dos averías los primeros 14 meses. Varias protecciones se soltaron y se cayeron los tornillos. La segunda avería se debió a un mal diseño de la correa para arrancar el aparato. Esta se partió.Me puse en contacto con el vendedor para reparar el aparato y me dijeron que ya no estaba en garantía. Les indiqué que en Europa la garantía por ley es de dos años y así lo indica también la propia ficha del vendedor. A pesar de estar cometiendo una ilegalidad, no quisieron reparar el aparato. Nunca más con este vendedor. Muy decepcionado también con Amazon que permite que algunos vendedores como éste engañen a sus clientes.

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.
