 Disappointing May 20, 2008
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
I bought this strimmer because it was on offer. That was a mistake.
The performance was adequate when it was new, but has dropped off badly to the point where I rarely use it. The main problem is the cassette; it sticks so that line has to be fed by turning the machine upside down and extending it manually. And the head keeps falling off. I have now lost part of it so can't use the machine even if I wanted to. Spares are almost impossible to buy. I have managed to find spools, but I need the whole casette unit and nobody seems to have any.
Stick to one of the commoner makes. My old Black and Decker lasted years and rarely faltered, and spares were never a problem.

Dissapointing performance does not trim short edges - difficult and fidley to change line spool and head rotation for edge cutting -heavy to use.

My first trimmer, and boy does it cut through the overgrowth. I found the heavy duty spool extremely effective and it went through my 3 foot high weeds like a hot knife through butter! The 'pro-tap' I still haven't got to grips with and always end up turning the trimmer upside down and manually pulling out more line. The normal spool line seems to wear out a bit quick, but that's probably just normal!
All in all, efficient, effective, and well worth the money! Gets the job done!
