th Bu-Ko as I already had their 5-in-1 pole 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.

ed on it is a stunning looking heater that also does a gorgeous ambient light feature And you can feel the warmth too.The customer service is great and your problems or queries are resolved witching 24 hrs which is great by anyone's standards.Cons or should I say not so positive is 1 instructions would be better if there was a YouTube clip to follow as paper instructions aren't crystal clear and 2 I'd advise wear gloves when assembling as remember you are handling precision cut metal that can easily slice your fingers (experience talking here haha). 3 is not the heater it's self but the con artist people that sell you the gas cylinders at the garages (£85 for 16kg).Also I advise to store the heater either in a building/shed or strapped to a wall as it is a big item so high winds are not it's friend.I would definitely recommend this product.

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

rting so took the opportunity to upgrade to a backpack type. Best thing I've done with regard to leaf blowing.All the weight is on your back (nice padding, quite comfortable) good straps and the weight is not all on the hand anymore. Also no vibration on the hand which is a big difference. Easy to control. Simple to put together, just took a few minutes.Probably the most important thing is that it starts first time. The only downside is that where the starter pully is, you can't start it on your back, has to be done before putting on.
