up 5/6 years ago. Its outlast a few other machines. Good on fuel. Plenty of attachments. Only just packed in this year. 2022. And I didnt treat it very well.Extention poles / Reach for hedge cutter is great, if your not strong it will be hard to handle at full length.The power of the Bu-ko, ive had 2 different makes just this year none have matched the Bu-ko in the slightest for power. Also just realised how little vibration / feedback you get of the bu-ko as well, compared to others I have.Bad side of it is, the plastic casings / handle , button are cheap and not great. Also the goggles, earmuffs are nasty. After a while the ruber feeders / supports inside the poles that fix the metal rotating bar in place, start to move or twist making it hard to fix them onto the machine / putting other extention poles together.Would I buy again, yes in hindsight. For price its great. Just would be nice if they matched the quality of the engine power with better fixings, casings, plastics etc.Ferrari engine, fiat panda shell.

with the unit, but was able to resolve them. A week or so after I got the unit, the grease nipple on the chainsaw unit broke (the threads stripped, so it might have been cross-threaded at assembly, not sure). About the same time, the metal plate which runs under the motor, to prevent it from being damaged by the ground when starting, broke. I contacted support and they sent me a new chainsaw unit + metal plate. A few months later, a piece flew off the strimmer head unit. As before, they sent me a new one. All of the replacement units they have sent me have been working fine. After a good 8 months with no issues, a few of the teeth on the hedge trimmer blades got broken. But as before, they are sending me new blades this week.A couple of other minor issues. One day the unit wouldn't start and I noticed one of the wiring connections had come unplugged, because of the way it was zip-tied (easy fix, just plugged it back in and zip-tied it differently). Recently I noticed the unit would die if I turned it on its side, but then noticed that the hose in the petrol tank, which sucks up the gas, had re-positioned itself such that when the unit was rotated, the end of the hose was no longer submerged in petrol (hence why it was dying). I used a screwdriver to push it back over to the other side of the tank, so when it is rotated it will still be submerged, and it has been fine.Knock on wood the motor itself has worked perfectly and as I said the replacement bits have all worked fine. I would rate it a 3 on function alone, but on the plus side, the post-sales support has been excellent, and they have never hesitated to send out replacement parts when I needed them (for free). So perhaps I have just been unlucky, as the replacement bits have all worked fine.Would I use it all day every day in a commercial capacity, no...but with the repaired bits, it has worked well and helped me to get control of a very large garden (half acre+) which was very overgrown and needed a ton of work.
