I was looking for a cheap unit and didn't expect much seeing as you get what you pay for.($67.00) This little unit is light, starts easy and has plenty of power. Cut through tall and flat lake shore grass with ease. One tank of gas lasts about an hour even at mostly full throttle. Would have gave it 5 stars if it included a shoulder strap; but again I didn't pay very much. I made my own out of some rope.

For the money, the trimmer is a good value. It was a little rough at start-up for the first time, but the more it is used, the more smoothly it runs. I bought mine for about $53.00 and got free shipping. It is a refurbished trimmer.

The product works a few times, now does not work no more. Product deception, EZ start. It is hard starting. I would not by this brand again. The product is poor quality and workings. I would not recommend anyone to by this brand and product.

I bought this machine at Menards and should have taken it back but too busy and I thought it would work better once I got the hang of the rediculous starting proceedure. Less then a year after purchase the coil retrieve is shot. I imagine it might of lasted a year longer if the thing didn't have to be pulled and pulled and pulled...Now I will buy a Toro for twice the price but can expect after reading reviews that it will be a much better value in the long run.

This weed wacker takes awhile to warm up (a FULL 5 minutes at half choke), but once it does its very powerful. I have used a 25cc Weed Eater and countless electric types (B&D, Weed Eater) and this one is by far the most powerful I have used. Also, I would recommend hearing protection because at full throttle this unit is extremely loud! I WOULD buy again.

Picked up at Menards for $80. Came with 2 spools of string and a small bottle of oil.

I bought the $8 replacement warranty, as I was a little skeptical of the quality.

I brought it home, filled 'r up, and started wackin!

It's a nice machine. It runs about an hour on a full tank. It also does not have alot of exhaust like my old Toro.

I have 2 acres and lots of trees and this guy really does the job (so far)

I have only used it once...long term durability may come into play...we'll see.

I was looking for an affordable trimmer that is easy to use, this was it. Good buy however all things have a down side and this was the string after the initial roll ran out. All the major departments stores sell single string and this item came with a double so there is now a issue now when it cuts short.

I recently purchased this trimmer after giving up on my battery powered trimmer that never had enough power and the battery finally went dead..I fired up this baby and had power plus, so far I have had no problems.. For the price, this is a great deal in my book...makes my old electric trimmer look pretty sick....

A little hard to start the first time, but starts and runs great after the first use. Great product for the low cost. Does everything I expect it to do.

Bare bones machine- I will wait to see if it is reliable. Starting procedure is ridiculous but it seems to run well. Packaging was all beat up and taped closed.... appeared to have been opened before. It seems all the E retailers like to pawn off their store returns by mail.
