Great strimmer. Excellent value for money. Very happy with purchase.

When buying such a trimmer, you need to clearly understand for what purposes it is intended. It worked great for me when I leveled the lawn. But when I tried to mow the thick grass 30-40 cm high, which grew behind the house, he clogged it in three minutes. As a result of the repair, I had to buy the entire cover assembly with bearings, because one of them is completely out of order and does not spin. At the same time, the case itself, in which this cover is installed, also suffered. Due to a damaged bearing, it melted in the places of its landing, and now even a serviceable bearing will not sit there firmly, there is a backlash. And yes, you cannot replace the case, as it is not produced as a spare part. So if you are going to cut thick, tall grass, this is not the trimmer you want.

Seems like a good strimmer but on first use the line feed tended to overfeed the line, resulting in all the line being used in one session. this was the spool that came with it. Have reloaded the spool and will try again.

It all works as intended out of the box and easily adjustable for different heights of peeps. Having been used to something else for a long time it just getting used to angles and distances. I’d like a harness attachment option - easier on the body all round I’d say. Overall, perfectly chuffed.
