ELECTRIC CORDLESS HEDGE TRIMMER 2 X BATTERIES LONG REACH TELESCOPIC POLE 2.4M
16 Nov, 2019
Well made product
The hedge trimmer is easy to use and a battery lasts about 30mins. It would benefit from a secondary operator switch part way up the shaft as it’s difficult to use when needing to have the cutters closer. Overall though it is effective providing you don’t ask it to cut through anything too thick and it represents good value.
The lawn aerator arrived promptly and it was easy to assemble the handle to the main body with a few bolt fixings.
When using the aerator everything was going quite well until about three passes down the lawn. Then the aerator started to be very difficult to push. When looking at the bolt fixing to one side of the central spindle , it was apparent that the fixing bolt had progressively tightened itself thereby preventing the spindle from rotating. Loosening the bolt solved the problem temporarly until another few passes of the lawn when the bolt on the opposite side of the spindle fell off. The problem is that Nylok nuts have been used and these are inadequate to lock them in position to stop them from rotating as the spindle turns - so the left-hand nut tightens and the right hand nuts slaclens. After wondering whether to send the aerator back, I rummaged around in my toolbox and found two nuts which I then used as locking nuts to secure the Nylock nuts - this solved the problem. I can only presume that the the manufacturer hadn't actually tested the machine. Poor show!

Milenco Aero 3 Flat Mirror Head Replacement Towing Caravan
13 Aug, 2021
Good towing mirror not affected much by wind-induced vibration.
This is a replacement for one which I dropped and the mirror cracked. Unfortunately it's necessary to purchase the whole mirror head as the design prevents just the mirror element only being replaced. Shame because the old one cannot be recycled - Milenco perhaps you could think about that in the future! I've knocked off one star for these two reasons.
However, that said, having tried several types of towing mirrors this tear-drop design seems to be the the least affected by vibration from wind - it's certainly better than the other large Milenco mirrors which vibrate a lot more.
