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.

e. 6 o 7 tiras de la cuerda y arrancó. Tiene potencia. 200 metros de jardin en 5 minutos. Y tengo arboles de paraiso (con 10 mil bolitas) y encinas con todo su flor y hojas. Funciona bien con cesped artificial y jardineras. Pesa un poco pero no lo voy a usar todo el dia. Cable para parar el motor estaba desconectado y no podia apagarlo. Solucionado con solo volver a conectar cable. Lo recomiendo por su precio y potencia.

d. It is very easy to start but if you have a problem there is a very useful telephone number with a human being at the other end that is willing to talk to you with very helpful advice. There is nothing that can go wrong.

tifully. It was very easy to assemble, not too heavy, for reference I am 58 and not big and strong! - hedge cutter does not go through anything above about 15mm but if I needed I just used the chain saw attachment. Starts first time every time, changing heads can be fiddly in that the internal rod sometimes stays in and you have to pull that separately but not a big problem. Only have this 4 days but so far very good machine. Excellent service from Burrowmount, plastic cover for chain saw came loose and got chained! they sent a replacement straight away.

tà prezzoDevo rettificare la recensione in quanto oggi durante l'uso e dopo 15 giorni dall'acquisto il pulsante dell'acceleratore si è spezzato in due senza nessun motivo fatto con una plastica veramente scadente e non ho più la possibilità di utilizzare il soffiatore

blows wet leaves but also shifts acorns that the rake did not. Drawback not very comfortable on the shoulders & back so I taped a cushion to the back pack which helps. Manual must have been drawn up by a work experience school kid & the photos very dark. Not much information in the manual but they did help over the phone. First use use 30.1 mix & let it idle for at least 10 minutes before you use it to let it help run in then from then on use 40.1. Started first time. Very pleased with it. Also always run the fuel out to make the carb & fuel tubes last longer. 5 ⭐️
