Would Not RecommendMy second time to use the weedeater and it doesn't crank. Very frustrating to think you're getting a decent weedeater and this happens.
Will not start! Bought week ago.
Would Not RecommendBought the Husqvarna 525LST trimmer 6 days ago. Used the Husqvarna fuel that I purchased at the same time as the trimmer. Went to use it today to get the yard ready for a family reunion we are hosting this weekend and it will not start. Need a working trimmer that works now! I dont think Lowes will exchange it because I used it twice.
Throttle Cable Broke
Would Not RecommendThrottle cable broke after 15min during the first use. Machine was easy to crank and ran well until cable broke. However, the engine is significantly underpowered for a $400, supposedly commercial grade trimmer. I have owned much cheaper trimmers which performed as well or better. Do not spend the extra money on this joke of a trimmer.
Shaft
Would Not RecommendShaft is hollow and not solid. It will break
Great Peoducr

Husqvana 525
Would RecommendVery powerful. I used to have an Echo and when it came time to replace, the Echo’s are made more cheaply than what I had. I went with the Husqvana 525 and got the quality I was looking for. I like the 19 inch diameter swath. Great for larger properties.

Runs good even if a part is missing
It's Husqvarna, it is a good product. Only issue I had from opening the box was the fuel cap missing. I had to buy aftermarket since getting in touch with product support is literally a waste of time... I hope the item holds out as I would really not look forward to getting help from their online or call support.
