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.

den or something than a normal bit of strimming . Used it to clear brambles and nonsense on an allotment which was great, but due to its size doubt I'll be using it anywhere else. Happy with it though.

l arranque. No sé si sus unidades estaban mal o no ejecutaban algún paso del "ritual" de arranque correctamente.Llevo usándola todo el mes de julio y solo puedo hablar bien de ella: arranque estupendo, potencia sobrada...Por poner alguna pega serÃa que huelen bastante los gases de escape. No puedo cogerla 2 minutos para limpiar la entrada de casa y después no pasar por la ducha. Siempre uso mascarilla para evitar dichos gases.En todo caso hasta ahora solo puedo hablar bondades de esta sopladora. Si sigue asà de bien durante años, haré otra review.Edito tras medio año de uso (diciembre 2021). Sigue funcionando muy bien. Sólo es achacable el excesivo ruido (me pongo tapones bajo los protectores auditivos) y el olor a combustión que se impregna por toda la ropa y el pelo obligándote a ducharte según la dejas. Todo lo demás muy positivo en cuanto a potencia y fiabilidad.

recting the heater it took me around I'd say the 5 hour mark as many of the instructions are in my opinion missing or in the wrong order.The heat output is good and does look pretty classy. I would recommend this heater as it does a Good job, I'm no novice at putting bits together but this was a challenge, I'd give plenty of time

lways started really easily, which was something I was apprehensive about, as I've had other cheaper items and they are a pain to start. Second pull on first ever start!!!!It's powerful enough to move the leaves with ease, not so much for twigs unless they are on the small side.

Me gusta porque es bastante cómodo en la espalda aunque al rato se siente pesado como todos estés aparatos. Apariencia moderna y robusta. Lo uso para soplar el jardÃn y restos de desbrozadora etc en resumen es una buena herramienta .

ded you carefully read the instructions and diagrams. However a couple of the predrilled screw fixings did not line up. This was not too significant and did not affect the solidity.The heater was easy to use and worked well although we did notice heat was not so effective when very windy (probably as you would expect really). Definitely a good buy for the price.

would recommend it to everyone, looks amazing in the garden, the only thing I would say is to ask for a video to build it . I spoke to someone called Micheal from burrowmount ,who has been fantastic, sent me the videos, and is there for you step by step , never mind ten out of ten , he definitely deserves hundred out of hundred . The heat from the heater is fantastic, I would recommend this product to everyone, and well worth the money

rting so took the opportunity to upgrade to a backpack type. Best thing I've done with regard to leaf blowing.All the weight is on your back (nice padding, quite comfortable) good straps and the weight is not all on the hand anymore. Also no vibration on the hand which is a big difference. Easy to control. Simple to put together, just took a few minutes.Probably the most important thing is that it starts first time. The only downside is that where the starter pully is, you can't start it on your back, has to be done before putting on.
