Best trimmer I have owned,

This trimmer starts on the second or third pull consistently. It also has more power than others I have owned. It is also very easy to load new line.

The most helpful favorable review Just Buy It Now! No need to look further! I have a small yard; probably only a quarter acre. The price on this trimmer seems high until you know the facts. It is actually quite reasonably priced. This trimmer will work as a trimmer, edger, and blower (Toro 38381 18-Inch 15 Amp Electric 1800 Power Curve Snow Blower); all without attachments. I've owned electric (Karcher K 5.540 X-Series 2000PSI Electric Pressure Washer) trimmers and cheap gas trimmers before. None of them even compare to this trimmer. This trimmer hits the grass and weeds and knocks it down first time! It is so powerful that you use the throttle as a throttle not an on-off switch like the electric and cheap gas trimmers. This trimmer is exceptionally quiet and smooth also. Additionally, even though it is only 9lbs (only 2 lbs heaver than the really cheap trimmers) it is one of the most powerful trimmers you can buy. As far as edging goes, I have never used a trimmer to edge before because it has been such a waste of time. However, with this trimmer, you flip it over on its side (on the side you can see the head. If you flip it the wrong way you won't be able to see the cutting) grab on the handle which conveniently is in position and trim away. I trim two sidewalks and my driveway. Today I discovered that I could blow off my sidewalk with the trimmer. Just make sure you have 18" of sting out, throttle her up and swing back and forth. The grass just blows off. Fantastic! There is one other benefit from the high quality machine. Because it is so effective, I get finished really quickly. I can trim my house and fence; edge the driveway and sidewalk; and blow the sidewalk of in about 15 minutes. This means I don't use very much gas and one tank lasts for about 4 sessions. I can't say enough good things about this trimmer. When you buy it, you will love it. By B. Fuller

The most helpful critical review Dissapointed in quality Trimmer did not work when received. Could not return it to Amazon, so I found a local authorized service center. They charge $45 to even look at it (returned if ** they ** decide it is a warranty issue). It was a bad part, but it took them 3 weeks to get a replacement. It now works, but after owning for a month, I have not received any usage. Also had broken plastic part (cosmetic), so the packaging is mediocre as well. I am a big fan of Amazon, but I would like to see a more prominent note that these items could not be returned. It is there on the page, but relatively small compared to all the other items on the product page. I likely would have purchased something like this locally if I had realized. By Will
