Electrolux's gasoline-powered, curved-shaft string trimmer features a 16-inch cutting path for taking out that weed patch quickly. Powered by a unit's 25 cc engine, this trimmer zips quickly through stubborn weeds, vines, and thistle. Electrolux's handy, Tap-'n'-Go line-advance lets out line smoothly when the head is quickly bumped on the ground--so you do the whole yard at once without having to kill the engine, re-string, and start up again every time the line gets sucked into that chain link fence. A rugged, plastic housing and lightweight aluminum shaft mean optimal handling and durability. And, a lightweight design ensures superb maneuverability for buzzing around landscape features, down long fence lines, and between flowers. More great features: Easy no-tool assembly gets you up and running quickly. The unit's quiet engine won't annoy the neighbors and is easy to start. A squeezable primer bulb facilitates startups on colder days. And, Electrolux's Quick-Snap spool replacement lets you change heads in less than ten seconds. Best of all, the purchase is covered by manufacturer 2-year warranty. Brian D. Olson

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy Starting Lightweight Weed Trimmer, March 22, 2006

I was satisfied with this product after using it. No problem at all starting. It has good motor response and is easy to control with a well designed trigger for accelerating. The line feed worked OK, except motor needs to be going fast for line to cut itself. It seemed a little hesitant before warming up, but further usage will help to learn when to adjust the choke. Best part is its light weight, since extended use will not cause arm fatigue. Should be adequate to use for most housholds.

2.0 out of 5 stars Hard to start and stalls out once running., April 9, 2007

This review is from: Weed Eater XT260 16-Inch 25cc 2-Cycle Gas-Powered Tap-N-Go Dual Exit Head Curved-Shaft String Trimmer (Lawn & Patio)

First time I bought a curved shaft trimmer, my old one crapped out on me so I needed a new one and saw this one on sale for around 66 dollars so I bought it. When I got it it already came assembled so all I had to do was put in the 2 cycle gas. After that I tried to start the trimmer as instructed, it took around 2-3 minutes to get it started, and once it was started and I started using it, the trimmer kept stalling on me. It must of stalled around 9-10 times trying to trim the house and the fence. Even though it stalled that many times, it still did the job it was intended to do, don't know if I received a bad weed eater or not, but I wasn't going to order the same model or brand again, I would try a brand I was accustomed too. After I was finished, I packed the machine up and sent in back to Amazon, and I orderd a more expensive one, and I'm glad I did.

I had been looking to purchase a new weedeater, and so knew a good price when I saw it. Getting free shipping from Amazon on this made the choice easier. I wanted a light-weight, easy to operate weedeater and that is exactly what I got. The price was right and the free shipping made the purchase on-line less expensive than going to a big-box store. It arrived quickly as well. I have used the weedeater for approximately 15 hours or so of run time and it starts easly, is light weight and easy to handle, and has plenty of power for my needs. My wife even finds it easily manageble and not to heavy for her to use.
