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.

y. Great addition to our garden. Quick delivery. Bit fiddly to put together and would definitely advise you wear the gloves that come with it. My hubby didn’t and cut himself in several places on his hands. Had to use our own regulator because the one supplied didn’t fit our gas bottle ... there may be a technical reason for this that I don’t understand as I say my hubby put it together., took him about 2 hours. I love it .... looks great. Not used it properly yet so can’t comment on how good it is in that respect.

apón de la gasolina parece usado y de vez en cuando la máquina se ahoga y hay que abrirlo para que vuelva a acelerar el botón del pare dejo de funcionar a la segunda vez que la use la tengo que parar cerrando el aire del carburador y las correas de sujeción se clavan bastante en la espalda para trabajar todo el día no la recomiendo es demasiado pesada para una parcela si y parando a descansar si no quieres acabar con alguna lesión en la espalda

sive when using as the sun goes down, and as described. Overall a good product although hard to move around (wheels could be better) - have to remove gas canisters first! Needed to get another regulator to use butane gas via amazon which was quite easily obtained. We strengthened our base with wood to improve it. Not a great amount of heat but nice addition to the patio.
