tle, safety glasses and ear protectors , tool kit and funnel, together with user manual. First impression was a smart looking piece of kit but I have to say it was a bit of a shock to feel the weight as my entire previous experience of a hedge trimmer has been a corded Black and Decker which I had for about 24 years but had just about reached the end of its useful life. Read through the instructions a couple of times ( still a bit confused er the choke positioning) , mixed and loaded fuel ( about a pint) and had a go at my first ever petrol engined trimmer. It fired on about the 3rd pull , started and after a few minutes warm up tried the throttle- wow this is a bit of a beast! Had a try at trimming a small bush , which went well , but a bit late in the day so switched off and left it till following day. Went the whole hog following day- side hedge, and 7 bushes of various sizes and species. Did it in several goes primarily not being used to the weight and power but finished result better than any of my previous trimming and overall was still faster than my old trimmer. Overall very pleased. Looks good and gives a good clean cut . Has plenty of power and in spite of it being quite heavy seems well balanced. So far has started well. If I have one niggle it's the ignition switch which seems very sensitive and I managed to inadvertently switch it off ( catching it with my glove) a couple of times but this may well be my inexperience. Seems good value and if it lasts as long as my previous electric one I will be well pleased. Mind you as I am over 70 it will probably outlast me!

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.

d value for money.The machine is a bit on a heavy side but for the price can definitely live with the extra weight vs much pricier machines.It's cutting/trimming well sometimes it is not so smooth tho.

l arranque. No sé si sus unidades estaban mal o no ejecutaban algún paso del "ritual" de arranque correctamente.Llevo usándola todo el mes de julio y solo puedo hablar bien de ella: arranque estupendo, potencia sobrada...Por poner alguna pega serÃa que huelen bastante los gases de escape. No puedo cogerla 2 minutos para limpiar la entrada de casa y después no pasar por la ducha. Siempre uso mascarilla para evitar dichos gases.En todo caso hasta ahora solo puedo hablar bondades de esta sopladora. Si sigue asà de bien durante años, haré otra review.Edito tras medio año de uso (diciembre 2021). Sigue funcionando muy bien. Sólo es achacable el excesivo ruido (me pongo tapones bajo los protectores auditivos) y el olor a combustión que se impregna por toda la ropa y el pelo obligándote a ducharte según la dejas. Todo lo demás muy positivo en cuanto a potencia y fiabilidad.

to be very close to the heater). There are some sharp holes along the bottom (? Air vents ) which we find a hazard as we have a young grand daughter who got her finger cut in one of them despite the cover being on - as it rides up ( heater was off at the time ) she is never around when it is on. But the holes are razor sharp the damage could have been worse !!
