Our flame tower blew over in a storm and the glass smashed - this replacement fitted perfectly.

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.

l conçu avec images trop petites d'où difficultés au montage; l'appareil est conçu avec une tétine et devrait l'être avec un record vissable comme cela est plus courant maintenant; c'est très difficile de trouver un tuyau de gaz simple et surtout une autre tétine coté détendeur.

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.

g you need including a small tool kit fuel mixing bottle and funnel. Slight issue with the handle screws but easily resolved. Started first time following the instructions, I bought the extra extensions poles and when all used it can be difficult to move but that is expected. I would highly recommend this product for ease of use, value for money but also really good quality.
