Very heavy

The weedeater was extremely heavy so took it back

broke in 1 day

I bought this thing late in the day on 08/03/2026 put it together, cut two yards with it on 08/04/2026, while cutting the first yard i noticed it had a bad vibration, after the second yard the pre assembled head stopped spinning due to it being melted. I returned it gonna find a different one.

broke in 5 mins

Came broken

Was used before I payed for a new one now have to go and return waste more of my time
