th Bu-Ko as I already had their 5-in-1 pole 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.

though the instructions are misleading. Pay close attention. Its easy to miss some screws on the frame, and also to not ensure the side where the panel drops in to cover the gas bottle is the side where the controls are. We had to take it half apart again. Mkae sure the slots at the bottom face the same way as control knob. You have been warned! Other than that its fine, reasonable output, looks good, and the cover that comes with it is also pretty reasonable quality. Would I buy it again at that price. Yes I would.

price. Having a large garden with trees and hedges etc I found the extension pole a great addition and although it was heavier the harness really helped in coping with the extra weight. Perfect tool for the jobs I need it for would definately recommend

All arrived quickly and extraordinarily well packaged etc... be prepared for a little time to unpack and construct but it's easy to do if you follow the instruction. Its well worth the investment though as they look amazing, everyone comments. And I guess the real mark of customer service is when something isn't quite right, and we had a bent base on the second tower which whilst allowed completion meant it was slightly wobbly on it's feet. I emailed and the replacement part was with me within 3 days and now both our towers are perfect. Absolutely brilliant service and top quality product. If you want flame towers, I've not seen any better than these.
