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.

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 small print and almost indecipherable diagrams to follows. It was more luck that it was eventually put together after several hours !! We have yet to fit a cylinder to see if it actually gives out decent heat. Watch this space!!

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
