Comment:

I have owned the one I have for 7-8 years, the only thing I have found that could be better is the way the string comes out, some ttimes I have to pull pertty hard to get it out. Could be I don't rewind it correctly. It is used every week 9 months of the year, also used on two yards.

How long have you owned it:

More than six months

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
