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.

t would be the same for any tiller. Just wait a week or so for it to dry and remove tree rootes. Moverd it over to an area not so wet and it worked like a dream. Didnt expect so many extras. mixer and gardening gloves really useful not to mention the extra spar plug. That will defintly come in handy because finding the right one is so difficult.
Intrstuctions not fantastic but if you have done flat packs its OK to work from the picture.
Definily a good buy.

il types. Doesn’t like stones or large roots but that is to be expected. These can be dealt with using long spike.
Can be hard to control unless you’re braced but this is a brilliant product for the price. Highly recommended.

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!

ased with it as it is easy to use and cuts through the wood really easily. The box comes with everything you need to use it safely. As well as spare chain for each of the two blades, and guards too, there is a safety visor, gloves and protective glasses. There is also an oil mixing container to mix the petrol and two stroke oil. It is easy to assemble.The supplier, Burrowmount are really good to deal with, and keep you up to date with the progress of your order, and when it will be delivered.

ENVIARON LA PIEZA A CASA SIN COSTE. BIEN HECHO.De los tres soportes que anclan el motor a la "mochila" (dos abajo y uno arriba), después de un año de uso, el de la parte superior se ha despegado sin más, la pieza de goma se ha separado de la de metal (ver fotos). A consecuencia de ello, el motor se "balancea" y arriesga a caer al suelo, por lo que no puede usarse, es peligroso. El producto sigue estando en garantía porque lo compré hace menos de dos años. ¿Cómo puedo hacer para solicitar sustitución o reparación en servicio técnico?

and shifts the leaves wet or dry. The downsides are that it is a little noisy and a little thirsty. If like me you are an ocassional user and don't want to pay 3 or 4 times as much for a branded blower then this one is a great buy.

to get the maximum use of the garden. The assembly instructions were easy to follow and once assembled it was fairly easy to move into position. We’re looking forward to using it over the winter.We had a small problem with the glass tube but customer services were fantastic. They could not have been more helpful and sorted it out immediately. We wish more companies took as much pride in their customer relations.
