Ratings & Reviews for Troy-Bilt XP XP 27-cc 2-cycle 18-in Straight Shaft Attachment Capable String Trimmer

A lot of power

Starts right up, easy to change the string, more power than you would ever need for a typical yard

Good product

Gave 4 stars because we've only used it once, the straight shaft is something you have to get used to, but it starts up very easily, isn't too heavy,and cuts great through high wet grass. Great deal if you're looking for something not too expensive but still want quality.

Junk

Worked decent first year second year starts and and won't run right wouldn't recommend to buy

Not impressed

The old saying is You get what you pay for. This is a cheap version of a straight shaft weed eater. This weed eater might be OK if you only use it once a week or so but it is advertised as a commercial weed eater. I was unimpressed from the time I took it out of the box. It vibrated more than normal.The head flew off and seemed to explode. Parts went everywhere. I tried to take it back after that but I was out of the return window at Lowes. I should have spent another $100 and bought a Stihl.

Great trimmer

Rated by consumer reports as the #2 trimmer overall.

Very well built, nicely powered trimmer.

Nice look and ergonomic feel. Powered very well and has a great weight to it.

Powerful trimmer

This is a GREAT trimmer! It starts right up & cuts weeds that are fairly thick without breaking the line. It is powerful and when letting up on the gas, the clutch disengaged so the head stops spinning without having to stop the trimmer. I love it!

Best trimmer

Bought the trimmer put it together added fuel and started on the 2nd pull. Works like a champ.

Nice piece of equipment

Works as expected. Started right up. Only issue is the Areo-flex blades broke first use, but was not why bought it. They were just a bonus.

Great trimmer that accepts universal accessories

All in one trimmer with two string heads, takes universal accessories. Great deal at 1/2 price on clearance

Great little trimmer

The first start was really easy. Which I was kinda surprised about. But was easy to start first time and has been easy to start each time I have. Runs great. And get the job done. The added trimmer is just a bonus. Havnt used it yet but cant wait to use it.

Good trimmer

Good trimmer. Starts easy with pull rope. Manual doesn’t quite fit this trimmer as far as how to restring but easy enough to figure out.

Trash don't waste your money

Bought this trimmer back in March after 6 months of use the trimmer stop working. Took it back to Lowe's they kept it for about a week called me and said they would fix it for $140. I declined their offer and went to Home depot and bought a Toro. Will not be buying anything else from Lowe's.

Great starter weed eater

Great purchase for our first home with land to be taken care of. My husband loved it, I had a little bit of a difficult time being left handed, and the exhaust for the motor got me once or twice just because of the way I had to hold it getting used to it. The hand grip slides some and you have to adjust it every once in a while, but it works great. We cleaned a whole overgrown water ditch in one day with it
