What Customers Are Saying

The trimmer offers good power and convenience with its 4-cycle engine, but reliability and durability issues are common concerns. Many users appreciate the ease of use and effectiveness, but others report problems with starting the engine, the trimmer head, and the line feeding mechanism. The versatility of the attachment system is a key benefit, but overall quality and longevity appear inconsistent, leading to frustration for some customers.

4 cycles run GREAT!

Would Recommend

I grew up on 4 cycles and through trial and error discovered 2 cycles don't come close to working as good

Good Item

It works very well. Also compatible with my Poulin pole saw attachment. Only negative is the weight of the tool. It is a larger more powerful unit.

Replaced 7-year-old craftsman

It cranked up and did the job. Shoulder strap helped relieve back pressure. It came with oil :-)

Good for a few years

Would Recommend

Powerful and useful with other attachments. My old one started smoking like a freight train. No gas/oil mix. It takes 10W 30 oil so make sure you’re using good oil. It’s a good tool to have.

Didn't last a year

Would Not Recommend

Purchased 5/22/22 and it quit on 10/25/22. Took it to a repair shop, they charged me $70 to get it running. Tried running it the next spring and it would start but not run. Total waste of money. I use Stihl now, but wanted to write a review so others know not to buy. Very dissapointed.
