Our flame tower blew over in a storm and the glass smashed - this replacement fitted perfectly.

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.

off the throttle cable.
Supplier responded immediately and sent a new throttle cable assembly same day.
Machine does a good job once you master how to manage it especially on stoney ground.
Excellent value for money.

erates good heat. We’ve even managed a couple of evenings sitting out in the freezing cold in December with it. Neighbours have commented on how nice it looks. Easy enough to put together although will take a bit of time but don’t let that put you off. After sales service has been really good too, had heavy winds which caused the heater to blow over and the glass tube smashed. They replaced it free of charge immediately, didn’t even expect them to. Don’t bother looking elsewhere!

y. Great addition to our garden. Quick delivery. Bit fiddly to put together and would definitely advise you wear the gloves that come with it. My hubby didn’t and cut himself in several places on his hands. Had to use our own regulator because the one supplied didn’t fit our gas bottle ... there may be a technical reason for this that I don’t understand as I say my hubby put it together., took him about 2 hours. I love it .... looks great. Not used it properly yet so can’t comment on how good it is in that respect.

w days early, excellent communication.Very well packaged, most parts had their own protective packaging.A little tricky to put together alone, so I would recommend a helping pair of hands at the latter stages.Very well made, all holes and fittings lined up perfectly. Very satisfying when you don't have to force screws and bolts in from different angles!The finished product is excellent, great value for money in my opinion. I have read several reviews that say they have had to order replacement quartz tube after their heater blew over in high winds and the glass smashed. I have used a black bungee cord which I wrap round the heater and tether it to my wall when not in use.Overall 5* all the way!!

others to a lower level (I dug all the earth around the stump first) and in the future for me to cut logs and timber so I can turn on a lathe.It was easy to assemble & fit the chainbar and chain. Once primed, it started and ran well, and was very easy to re-start.Safety brake works well, (kicked back only once and that was my fault!)Safety kit although basic is adequate for home gardening use. The mesh face guard will stop flying debris, I have prescription safety glasses provided by employer so didn’t need the goggles.The spare chains are a bonus as well. I thought I’d get through more than 1 chain on this stump but was pleased that 1 chain was suffice - there were a lot of vertical cuts on this job and it was just starting to blunt toward the end - there is a file provided to sharpen the chain.Had to tighten the chain 3or 4 times but that is to be expected and was easy to do - (loosen the chainbar locking nuts a bit, tighten the chain and then re-tighten the nuts).Neat carry bag (but only fits chainsaw with the 16” chain fitted).Toolkit has all the appropriate tools needed.All in all, a great budget chainsaw package with everything you need to get going (except fuel & oils). It’s not a chainsaw for professional arborists or tree fellers, but certainly good enough for use in the garden.Would I recommend - absolutely.

iguilles de pin, de pommes de pin et autres brindilles. Le travail se fait en 3,4 mn, efficacement. Je trouve la soufflerie suffisamment puissante pour ce travail. Ce souffleur démarre finalement pas trop mal si on suit à la lettre le mode d'emploi (il me semble que le réservoir doit être complètement rempli pour un bon amorçage). Le port sur le dos n'est pas désagréable (il n'est pas lourd) et les bretelles tiennent bien.
