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.

h a little heat, and on that front, this heater delivers. Once it gets going, the output from this is excellent. It is very easy to use, and adds a lot of style to the garden. One minor point to note is that the instructions are not quite so clear, however there is a YouTube video from the manufacturer that clarifies everything, so I would advise watching that before set up. Overall, this heater is great and I am very happy with it. To add one last comment, the customer services team are especially supportive! I had an incident where the heater was blown over by unexpected winds, and the team very kindly sent out replacement parts to assist. Do tie down the heater when not in use. I learnt the hard way!

ted however.There’s no where to put the blue tooth speaker (which is just a cheap looking thing)I don’t think it gives off great heat, I was sat next to it and still freezing.We had it on for a couple of hours and the gas ran out! Very surprised at how much gas it uses! Such a shame as it’s so expensive to buy, which means I won’t really be using it very often.

chased this item before I went away on my holidays however the delivery date they specified was when I was away so I contacted them to ask if they could deliver on a specified day when I returned within 10 minutes of sending my email I had a reply stating that they would deliver on my specified day at no extra cost to myself I arrived back from my holiday and my patio heater was delivered on the day I arrived back brilliant service and the patio heater is first class simple to to put together and looks fantastic far better than my old one with the added bonus of the cover to protect the heater when not in use and it looks great.also as an added curtesy the company also contacted me to make sure that the product was delivered safely without any damage I have recommend this product to a few friends as everything from start to finish was just perfect this is how all companies should treat there customers I will certainly use again thank you.

I also have a BU-KO backpack leaf blower working hard for two years with little maintenance. I like this hole auger it's great value with all the accessories needed to go to work.But remember it's a Auger they can do real damage to the operator if used incorrectly so if in doubt don't buy it just get a professional to make your holes
