Ratings & Reviews for Earthquake 160-cc 4-cycle 22.0-in Straight Shaft Gas String Trimmer

Better than carrying a trimmer over the shoulder!

It does work as expected, but I wish it could cut a little thicker weeds. There is a weed we have that is like 1/2" thick and a bit woody, and that just eats the trimmer string up instead of the other way around. If it weren't for that weed, this thing would be great. Need an attachment that can cut a little more strongly. Also, it gets some weeds strung around the trimmer axel, so have to stop occasionally to pull it off.

Starting hint

It’s a real brute on tough weeds. Learn to feel gas behind the priming bulb not just air. It will make starting much easier.

Walk behind trimmer

I bought this trimmer in October and used it 3 times and the trimmer head broke off from all the rocks I have on my property. Still waiting for replacement parts

Great workhorse!

The third time I used it ran great. The first two time it was blowing excessive smoke and vibrating a lot. I had to clean the deck which was completely black. I am looking forward to warmer weather to see it perform. It starts every time 1st try. I only use non ethanol gas for all my small engine equipment ; I highly recommend everyone doing this for better performance and less hassle with carburetor issues.

earthquake string mower

I have used this trimmer a couple of times. It takes a while to start but once started it is a beast unless you are trimming tall grasses, then it bounds up and cuts off. It is really hard to start if you can start it at all after it shuts off. I do like the mower style and I have been able to clear the ditch near my mail box and some of the growth in my septic area. It is just that I would prefer to work more when it stops and I cannot restart it.

Tuff and durable

We put it to the test clearing up under the mosquit trees and jumping catus and all the thorns it going strongly well see how long she lasts

Best Weed Eater

I would highly recommend this weed eater. Ive had several weed eaters and my back was strained. Again, please consider this weed eater. I have over 2 acres and this is better than a push lawnmower.

Not commercial grade

There is a lot of plastic on the machine which does not hold up to heavy use. I had my machine for 3 days and had to get replacement parts. At 2/3 months I was using it and it just quit and I haven’t been able to start it since. Not the quality I was hoping for.

A WEED EATIN MACHINE !!!

All around terrific product! Should have had one of these years ago...

Loving it!

I love this machine. It is so much easier than cartying around a weeder.

My Walk Behind String Mower

I really feel that the purchase of this walk behind string mower was the correct buy! The reason being was that it performed as advertised and that it will pay for itself next spring and summer.

Bigger wheels and trimmer on top makes it easier to change.

The Earthquake string mower is a great mower

It is a great string mower. Starts easy and the string they use actually lasts a lot longer than my old mower.
