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.

cheap blower for occasional use in my garden. I was very pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to start - started on third pull with no adjustments to carb (apart from using choke). Pull start feels like it is spring loaded which makes pulling it easy. Good strong blow to shift the leaves, even when wet.

t die Rückholfeder des Starters hängen geblieben und die ganze Automatik hat sich bei laufenden Motor in ihre Einzelteile zerlegt! Konnte gar nicht so schnell das Gerät abstellen, die Metall auf Metall Zerstörungsgeräusche klangen nicht gut!!!

Excellent patio heater well worth paying the extra for this superior looking machine. A talking point on any patio. Looks amazing when lit and when dark just looking at it you feel warm!Took about 2 hours to put together not rushing and maybe a beer or two in between. Burrowmount the suppliers were second to none, had a tiny issue of a missing nut, contacted them had a speedy response and was sorted immediately. Would highly recommend this supplier and product especially as we are all going to be spending more time in our own outdoor area. You would not be disappointed.This was a 40th birthday present for the man who has everything..... and he loved itIrene Essex

bon rapport qualité/prixMontage très simple démarrage dès le deuxième coup de lanceur (grâce à la goutte).Niveau sonore correct pas trop de vibrations, pas très lourd, échappement arrière ce qui évite de se bruler (par rapport à d'autre qui l' ont sur le coté) Matériel de sécurité inclus : lunettes de protection, casque anti-bruit, gants...que demander de plus, il y a même une clé à bougie ainsi qu' une bougie de rechange et un bidon gradué pour préparer le mélange.Ma femme l' a utilisé sans problèmes ni fatigue.Je suis très satisfait de ce produit
