Heavily used for 6 years and I lost track of how many times it died on me last year and I had to take it to the shop. When it ran, it ran fine and did a good job but I gave up and bought an EGo. Comes with bag, side shooter and qt of oil. If you're a small engine tinkerer, this is the machine for you! Don't tempt me to set it on fire bc I've been close to it many times last year!
Problems I know about:
- so sensitive to gas quality (even tho I only ever used Super) the shop jerry-rigged a fuel filter into the gas line.
- leaks oil (supplying a bottle to get you started)
- welded together in a couple places and pulls to the right
- self propel cable end broke so have to jerry-rig it or replace (a screw wedge worked fine for me)
