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.

that let me down I was a bit concerned about buying another one from the internet. How wrong I was this is a fantastic piece of equipment well built and with a amazing set of additions that I did not expect. Comes with a small toolkit which would be handy to anyone that has not got a tremendous amount of sockets in their shed. Came packaged well and the instruction booklet although not straight forward is easy to understand one you have looked through a couple of times. Took around 1 hour to fully assemble all the parts and double check all screws and bolts tight as most machine require that little look over to ensure nothing loose. Fuelled up the unit with 2 stroke oil as per the supplied bottle and attached the hedge trimmer without the extension. Primed the carburettor and pulled the recoil starter and it fired up on the second pull. I proceeded to cut our hedge which was around 3 meters tall and upon first use seemed fine. During use I found it started to run on a little so I rang the supplier up and spoke to a gentleman who was very informative and gave me a couple of suggestions to slow the machine down. Went back to the garden and started the unit up on the first pull with no effort at all, previous manufactures that I had to start after stopping took some time this one did not. I completed the task in hand with ease apart from the very top, as I did try with another extension but I think will need to build my arm muscles up as unable to hold steady. This is no reflection on the machine just me being a weakling. Overall very satisfied with my purchase and feel I have finally found something which does what it says. I was also informed any problems contact direct and they will either talk through if adjustments or if a warranty claim will send direct from their stores. I felt very assured by this company and would not hesitate to recommend this equipment. My only minor snag is the nuts fall out of the extension tubes when you release the locking knob.

ed on it is a stunning looking heater that also does a gorgeous ambient light feature And you can feel the warmth too.The customer service is great and your problems or queries are resolved witching 24 hrs which is great by anyone's standards.Cons or should I say not so positive is 1 instructions would be better if there was a YouTube clip to follow as paper instructions aren't crystal clear and 2 I'd advise wear gloves when assembling as remember you are handling precision cut metal that can easily slice your fingers (experience talking here haha). 3 is not the heater it's self but the con artist people that sell you the gas cylinders at the garages (£85 for 16kg).Also I advise to store the heater either in a building/shed or strapped to a wall as it is a big item so high winds are not it's friend.I would definitely recommend this product.
