Owner reviews
Stanislav, 39 years old
“The trimmer is in operation for the third year. The motor is excellent, it works without problems, it starts easily, it runs smoothly. But the court is unimportant, it was replaced by an analog with a square section, and the corset is poor, the quality is not right, and it doesn’t fit my height. In general, I’m satisfied with the purchase, but there are some minor flaws. ”
Vladimir, 27 years old
“I bought a trimmer a year ago, by the end of the first season problems started, the motor began to stall. We cleaned the carburetor in the service, brought it home. it worked for an hour and then died out again. Then my efforts were crowned with success, but I don’t like such competitions. “I pulled it, started up. let’s go, this is for me!”
Oleg, 34 years old
“I have an electric braid in operation. Mows only fishing line and only the length of the cord. At first I got used to being tied to a network, then I learned to work. I don’t have any particular complaints, it works like a clock, but you need to mow it regularly, not allowing it to stand tall. then the mowing is more difficult and the casing is blocked, you have to stop cleaning. ”
