Would RecommendStarted on first pull and is powerful for cutting very tall weeds. I am not a big fan of the cutting height adjustment as I would have preferred a selection of fixed height for cutting. A folding handle would have been a big plus for storing this mower. Overall I am happy with this purchase at a fair price.
Wonderful
Would RecommendAbsolutely knocked down a lot of weeds on foothill property! Easy start, easy to push even through thick weeds. It was easy to refill as well. Made the job so easy compared to a weed eater. Wish is was auto piloted!
EXCELLENT PRODUCT
Would RecommendI’m so pleased with this product! I’m a older lady so was having so much trouble starting regular weed whackers. I bought this one to walk behind and could start it with one pull! Cuts so nicely love this product!
this trimmer is easy to assemble, easy to start and gets the job done. i had let my yard get the best of me while i was caring for my elderly mother. I could not afford a lawn service and i like working in the yard. this trimmer took down the tall grass as well as some pretty good size weeds. It is the best money I have spent in a long time. I am a 73 year old female and would recommend this trimmer
Very good item
Would RecommendIt works just like it’s supposed to. Easy to start and easy to maneuver. So far I’m pleased with it.
Strings
Would Not RecommendGot it out of box and went too do weed eating. Strings would not stay in. Tried and tried won’t last more than 30 seconds. BACK IT GOES!!!

So this unit does better than expected, was making good progress over my pot holed back yard, moles, squirrels and dogs digging them up, when about 3 hours into it I started a fire. The whole reason i got this was to prevent those. Ironic. Be sure you get a spark arrestor said the prevention officer.... required by state law, ...

Engine stalls after heating up
Would Not RecommendWorked great for about 15 minutes and then the engine starts to sputter and stalls. I have to let it cool down and then it's good for about another 15 minutes before it shuts down again. Definitely returning it back to Lowe's.
