2.0 out of 5 stars Line feed is terrible, June 25, 2009

The dual feed lines are the worst. They do not feed properly and there is a minimal amount of line on each channel of the spool. Also the .08 line breaks easily and the notches on the spool are too narrow to hold the line in place. I've converted to a .65 and it works more satisfactorily; however, the design flaw is evidenced by the fact that most other manufacturers have abandoned this modus operandi. The trimmer handles well and starts properly, but the line issue is insurmountable and therefore makes the product a poor choice.Also the cost of a pre-threaded spool replacement is ridiculously expensive. In summary, save your money and look elsewhere.

This is the worst string trimmer I have had the misfortune to use in 30 years of doing my yard. The thing is difficult to hold and control, the engine won't idle even after carefully adjusting the idle speed screw. I used it for 10 minutes and gave up.
And to top it off Amazon will not take it back "due to their return policy".

This is a weedeater I bought for home and my boys lawn service. When it arrived it ran rough. I quickly found out that the spark plug had broken in transit. After replacing the spark plug it ran great. I like the simple operation. It starts well, much better than a Ryobi I purchased for twice as much.
