1.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy this trimmer, August 3, 2008

Don't buy a Homelite. You are wasting your money. My last string timmer, a different brand, lasted 12 years before it went. This one didn't make it 15 months. I bought a Homelite because a major consumer magazine (CR)gave the Homelite string trimmer a best buy rating. For a few weeks, it seemed to start easily and ran smoothly. Then, I started having problems with the string not coming out of the reel. Here I was having to continuously shut the unit off and run the string back through...a major pain. So I bought an adaption kit at Home Depot which replaced the reel with one that holds two precut pieces (this is great and I thoroughly recommend it). Now, after 14 months of owning the trimmer, I am having trouble with the engine. It runs fast, then slow, overheats and shuts off after 5-10 minutes. I have to be careful not to burn myself. I took good care of the unit....used the right gas/oil ratio, changed the spark plug, cleaned the filter, and even removed the gas during the winter months. It didn't really matter. Why bother fixing it...its a piece of junk.

This trimmer was ordered to replace a competitive manufacturer's product. The latter was also reconditioned and lasted about 2 years before "giving up the ghost". It was the second one from this other manufacturer that died after a few years' weekend use for the same problem...impossible to start...even after trying all the online "DIY" suggestions...clean anti-spark screen, carburetor, new spark plug, etc.

I was most surprised when the Homelite Trimmer arrived. Shipping was ultra fast and the reconditioned trimmer looked brand new with the exception of a small branded ""RECON" on the underside. What a pleasure, excellent price, easy to start, light by comparison, easy to handle...and powerful. I would recommend it as a best-buy for anyone interested.

Important Footnote: Be sure to follow Homelite's recommendation and always use Homelite's 2-Cycle Synthetic Oil Blend.

Ran for 5 minutes, and never could get it started again for months. Makes a great wall decoration in my shop though.
