Good overall unit.
My main reservations are twofold. First, it is hard to start. Even after running it for 10 minutes, if you shut it off, it will take 10 pulls to get it to start again. This might be my unfamiliarity with the machine as I only got it today, so once I get used to it, I might be able to figure out its nuances better. The second issue is the string feed. It does not work very well. In the course of an hour's trimming session, I had to remove the spool 6 times and unclog the feed. This, even brand new from the factory. I will try other manufacturer's strings and spools in the hope that they will feed properly, but this machine gets the job done, and with plenty of gusto, once you can get string to appear from the spool. For the price I paid, I doubt I could have found anything better. Cheap but finicky!
