Used twice
Would Not RecommendBought on 8/22/26 used twice and won’t start on 9/28
Not enough power
Would Not RecommendDoes not have a lot of power. This trimmer is not powerful enough to cut thick grass. You have to go slow when edging and trimming because it bogs down. I do not recommend buying this product, not worth the money.

Longest lasting weed eater ever!
Would RecommendWe’ve used this weed eater 3 summers in a row. Didn’t winterize it even once. It still cranks up on first try! Highly recommend!

Good Deal For Anyone Needing A Heavy Duty Trimmer
Would RecommendIt's a tad bit heavier than my 128LD Husqvarna, that just so happened to last me 8 good years. The 525LST would run circles around the 128 though and cuts a wider swath as well. I love it!
