Gutless, disappointing,very heavy to operate.
Waste of time. I wish I had never bought this trimmer. I got the 68 cc model thinking it would have loads of power and it doesn't. It struggles to cut even new thin fresh growth chewing through it rather than cutting it. I can't imagine how poor the models with smaller engines must be! Another reason I bought it was to reach some high bushes and hedges. It is totally unwieldy and hellishly heavy to operate. I may add that I am no weakling but it is exhausting trying to use this machine other than for a brief time.I kept my old conventional petrol trimmer thank goodness,and would use it any day rather than this beast.
In fairness, the machine starts well and ticks over evenly which in my book should be a given...it is operating it which is a pain.
Think long and hard before buying this machine and perhaps see if any of your neighbours have got one and have a try of it first.....I wish I had!
