Comment:
It fired right up right out of the box. As I walked towards the weeds I meant to cut, the thing started to bog down - and it haddn't cut anything yet! I had to continuously play with the throttle to keep the RPMs up. When I was working up the hill, it had trouble with the fuel supply which made those hard-to-reach place a serious challenge trying coordinate the throttle and maintaining the angle of the machine to keep the gas flowing into the engine. I'm not even sure if the fools who rate this thing even know which end the machine is supposed to cut grass??? My electric B&D has more balls than this piece of garbage!

More than six months

Comment:
Well protected machine. Not cheap but you get what you pay for. I picked this machine up after returning a Troy Bilt. TB was hard to start and too heavy for me. The Husqvarna isn't light but seemed to be better balanced. Since it was easy to start I wasn't tired by the time I got it started like the TB. I have cut done some pretty tall and tough stuff in my back yard with the Husqvarna and was surprised how tough it was. Well priced at [@]
