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.

high grass brambles up to waist height and large overgrown conifer bushes (still in the process of chopping them down with the chainsaw attachment. this tool has been an absolute godsend. engine is power full and seems to handle the workload very well (so far anyway). only downside is that i have encountered is that wearable parts eg bramble blades the chain for the chainsaw wears out pretty quickly but that could just be because of the extreme jungle i am trying to get under control and probably expecting too much for an average household this tool is a must.ork out of doing the hedges !!

u bout de 1 an d'utilisation, voici les problèmes rencontrés :- poignée de gâchette d'accélération cassée ; j'ai dû la bricoler en la refixant avec une vis par le dessous. La poignée tient par un tout petit morceau de plastique à l'origine- sangles de harnais qui se baladent. J'ai dû les repasser et les recoudre pour qu'elles tiennent en place- pot d'échappement non fixé. Là c'était le pompon : le pot d'échappement n'était pas fixé au moteur et se baladait dans la cage plastique qui a fondu avec la chaleur dégagée par le moteur. J'ai dû trouver des vis adaptées et les refixer avec du frein-filet adapté aux hautes températures.- le réglage du carburateur pas fait : il ne tenait pas le ralenti au déballage. J'ai dû refaire les réglages.Bref, si vous ne savez pas bricoler un peu, passez votre chemin.Après tout cela, je n'ai pas de problème de dysfonctionnement de moteur, et ce souffleur est par ailleurs, particulièrement puissant.Investissez dans un casque anti bruit efficace : il sera largement nécessaire.

but does take a morning - lots of pieces - and the instructions aren't great. Looks good and seems to work well. Not that easy to manoeuvre given its height but okay on a firm surface with the wheels. It is at risk of blowing over in strong winds so I've taken to attaching it to the drainpipe with a strap when not in use .
