I ordered this product and received it very quickly. It was a breeze to assembly and use. I have had another string trimmer for 15 years and hope this product proves as satisfactory. Very easy to start and operate. I have tons of trimming to do weekly and also some major brush clearing needed. This trimmer did it all. I am very satisfied with the quality of this product
We have a "naturally landscaped" yard in the high desert. In other words, not landscaped at all with extremely uneven ground, rocks of all sizes and tall tufts of stringy green stuff we laughingly call grass. I knew it wouldn't be a walk in the park to use this or any other wheeled mower and it wasn't. It was the workout I expected it to be. With all that said, this is working great. It even cut right through some seriously overgrown areas that both the string trimmer and mower would have struggled with. It also got into all those areas my mower would never have been able to reach like around the trees/bushes with low limbs and the stuff growing in the chain link fence. All of this with the added benefit of not having to worry about ruining a cutting blade on all the rocks. This hybrid string trimmer/lawn mower was a great purchase.
It works very good. I am a 72yr old women can handle it very easy. A little hard to start the first time but after that pretty easy. I do wish that I had been told what string to use for replacement. The one they suggest from the dealer is rather expensive. I will need to find another brand that can be substituted.
I purchased this mower to use on a property where we are building an off-grid cabin. It arrived a day early, which is always a plus. Assembly, if you can call it that, was a breeze. Put the oil in and waited for it to stop raining... After the rain subsided, I added gas and fired it up. It started on the first pull. I decided to try it out in the alley by our current house, and I was not disappointed. It cut through everything I threw at it including some small saplings that have sprung up along our fence line. I should also mention that everything was wet (it had just stopped raining). Tomorrow comes the big test. A couple of acres that hasn't seen a mower this year. If my test run is any indication; I should have no problems. The trimmer mower has far exceeded my expectations, thus far, and I expected a lot after reading all of the glowing reviews. Just add mine to the ever-growing list.
put oil and gas in it, primed 4 times, pulled the cord and it started, once warmed up it took 3 pulls, wah, i live on the side of a mountain in the ozarks, mowers don't work brush hogging cost to much, this goes thru all but saplings and the thickest stalks, i bring a corn knife for that, i'm 6 ft. and had to lower it from the tallest setting, 5 ft. sweetgrass didn't stand a chance, i've done a half acre, and still have the original line, pick up your beer cans 1st. or it will shred them, i accidently left it out and it recieved 12" of rain, no problem (i don't reccomend this) it plowed thru wet, dry ,thick, thin, tall, and short, it works as good pushing, as well as pulling, county didn't mow my ditch this year this did it in 4 passes, it's gaurding kept all the mower mess off of me, normally i would have to change clothes on the porch before going in, not any more, USE HEARING PROTECTION, noise is the only bad thing i have to say, but i put in earplugs first, if you have a problem piece of land, buy this , i will be using it right up until the snow flies, and be ready for a lazy next year, thanks to this field trimmer, next year i will have a nice property,instead of something i don't talk about.
It is refreshing to finally purchase something that operates as advertised. Fifteen minutes after I unpacked the trimmer, I out oil in, added gas, pushed the primer a few times and the trimmer started on the first pull. It is doing a great job on heavy weeds caused by an exceptionally wet summer. Changing trimmer line is cinch and much easier than previous hand held string trimmers. We do not have one complaint.
I was able to clear out Johnson grass, sunflowers, and other weeds and grass in a fraction of the time and effort it would have taken with a regular string trimmer. I did go through a lot of string, but it was still well worth it.
my first use of the remington trimmer todaymay 19th 2014 was awesome.my yard is large and it cut very easily.the outskirts of my yard which is unfenced had high weeds and bush.this machine plowed through it easily and the perimeter of the yard now looks amazing.i also cut a large portion of my neighbor's yard directly behind me which is unfinished(no grass or landscaping)and the machine performed well.the only drawbacks that i had was the handle height was too low for my height(6'4") and the cutting height was fixed.also you have too be careful when cutting uneven surfaces in your grass because the trimmer line will gouge out your grass if the front guide bulb that the lawnmower rests on will follow the shape of the ground.you need too slightly lift the machine by pushing down on the handlethe trimmer line holds up well unless you are trimming against building or hard objects.the machine started up easily at all timesand it was easy too manuever because of the large wheels.i should have purchased this long ago.i will purchase another unit soon but with all of the features that i mentioned that are missing with this starter unit.great product
I must say, even after reading the reviews on this thing, I was still a little, OK, more than a little, surprised just how well it really works. This paid for itself by lunch time on the first day. What we did in the first day, would have taken us a week otherwise. The before and after pics below should tell the story, its a about a 1 acre lot, that hadn't been cut in probably 3 to 4 years, maybe 5... You could actually mow with this thing if your ground is level... On uneven ground, it does seem to pull left, but so do I... lol Pros Arrived on time Easy to unpack Oil included Started 2nd pull String is easy to change Eats thru stuff that will surprise you Cons None
I was looking for a "weed eater on wheels" and had read reviews about similar products stating that a walk behind string trimmer was light weight and easy to manuever. I could not get the one that the reviews were raving about so I settled for this one that looked very similar and the price was right. Walmart shipped it quickly and it was well packed- weighs about 40 pounds and I had to get a knife and cut the back of the box open to roll it out becauseI could not lift it. The angle of the handle is designed for an easy push over level grassy ground. It does not operate well on uneven ground. The lack of any wheels on the front means that the rotator cup will fall down into any hole and if maintained in one spot for over 1 second, it will dig a hole. The orange plastic string trimmers are easy to replace but they stick out past the rim and guards so you need to leave a 4 inch zone around anything you don't want destroyed. It will take out a double insulated pvc water pipe in a milli-second. It is heavy and hard to push and the angle of the handle is such that when pressing down on the handle to raise the front, you will have to stoop to 14 inches off the ground. It is not good on briars and vines - it doesn't cut them and they get wond around the rotator. I don't recommend this for anyone who does not have upperbody strength and plenty of stamina.
