Comment:
Terrible product...would not recommend. I had it in the repair about 4 times this summer. Finally, it quit running and the repairman said it was due to the oil and gas. Never had a problem with the oil and gas before!

Comment:
I bought this product about a year ago to do simple trimming. Over the past year, I have put about 5 hours into the product, and it has run about 1 hour total. The first year, it was hard to start but, once started, ran well. At the beginning of this year, it was hard to start and would stall after 15 minutes and refuse to start again. Now, at the end of this season, it does not start. <br />Based on my experience, I would call this a bad product, despite CR's positive reviews.

Comment:
Bought last year and ran well for about 5 uses. After that have constant problems with the line feed. Changed to manual load, but the release jams so the only way to add new line is to unscrew the head. Add to that the engine constantly stalls. We have a small yard that takes about 20 minutes. In this time I have to restart 5-6 times. Replaced the plug, fuel and air filters no help.
