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.

e. 6 o 7 tiras de la cuerda y arrancó. Tiene potencia. 200 metros de jardin en 5 minutos. Y tengo arboles de paraiso (con 10 mil bolitas) y encinas con todo su flor y hojas. Funciona bien con cesped artificial y jardineras. Pesa un poco pero no lo voy a usar todo el dia. Cable para parar el motor estaba desconectado y no podia apagarlo. Solucionado con solo volver a conectar cable. Lo recomiendo por su precio y potencia.

blows wet leaves but also shifts acorns that the rake did not. Drawback not very comfortable on the shoulders & back so I taped a cushion to the back pack which helps. Manual must have been drawn up by a work experience school kid & the photos very dark. Not much information in the manual but they did help over the phone. First use use 30.1 mix & let it idle for at least 10 minutes before you use it to let it help run in then from then on use 40.1. Started first time. Very pleased with it. Also always run the fuel out to make the carb & fuel tubes last longer. 5 ⭐️

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.

y small print and almost indecipherable diagrams to follows. It was more luck that it was eventually put together after several hours !! We have yet to fit a cylinder to see if it actually gives out decent heat. Watch this space!!

now. Easy to put together, not heavy to wear, starts first or second pull. Good amount of power to it, works well even on large quantities of leaves or very wet leaves. Noisy! But to be expected of a 2 stroke. So make sure you wear ear protection. Had a slight issue with the fuel filler cap after about a year of ownership, but the company sorted that quickly without any quibbles.
