Badly designed line feed
10/16/2012
Pros
Cons
Uses Lots of Line
Best Uses
Straight Edging
Weeds & Tall Grass
Comment:
Piece of junk. How is it no one can design a properly functioning weed eater? The line feed basically DOES NOT WORK! To add insult to injury, as far as I can tell, Toro has designed the head to prevent you from using an after-market head. NEVER will I buy another Toro product.
How long have you owned it:
A month or less
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Terrible line-feed design

Door Stop
Comment:
The automatic line trimmer does not work. String constantly jams because it's not being trimmed and wraps around the head. Conversely, if it's too short, it dissappears inside the head and you have to take the cover off and rewind it. I've had this 2 weeks and am returning it to Home Depot. Do NOT buy this poorly designed trimmer!

Comment:
I hate string trimmers. They are defective per se, and are some of the most error and malfunction prone products I've ever used. I really hate them. When they work, they are wonderful, but they malfunction so easily and so frequently, they are virtually useless. This Toro trimmer has a good engine, and is the easiest to start of any gas trimmer I've owned. However, the string will not advance, the mechanism for advancing string does not work, and the spool falls out when I start using the machine. The string is hard to replace. It is a vile machine, and I hate it.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
