Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)When the Item was received, several small parts were missing. After contacting the Swisher company, I was assured that the missing parts would be provided at no cost. That promise was fulfilled.
However,, I have the following comments concerning the design of this machine: (These comments are keyed to the Swisher Owner's Manual, 10696 Rev-06-32).
1.The pull start is located on the engine. Most modern lawn machines with a 'handle safety squeeze bar' are configured with the pull handle mounted within easy reach of the handle.
2. The machine does not have any method of acheiving accurate cutting height, other than the operators ability to judge the distance between the cutting cords and the ground. The plastic threaded roller (item 10) is inadequate and the distance from the ground should be adjustable by the operator.
3. Operation of the machine causes cut material to pack into the space between the rear drive pulley (item 2) and the rear cover (item 5).
4. The engine 'cooling' design is self defeating because as material is cut it is sucked onto the top engine grill over the air flow intake and prevents air from flowing over the engine. That is not good and must prevent adequate engine cooling.
These changes in the aforementioned flaws would make your machine a much more usable item.
It would be nice if you responded to my comments.

An ideal back-saving alternative to heavy handheld gas trimmers, the Swisher 6-horsepower standard trimmer is three heavy-duty yard machines in one. The trimmer's extra-wide 22-inch cutting swath rivals that of most lawnmowers, while its user-friendly design offers unsurpassed, precision trimming, and edging performance. Equipped with a powerful 12-volt starter for easy and reliable start-ups, the trimmer also features 14-inch ball bearing wheels for plenty of clearance and smooth rolling over rough terrain. A 6-horsepower, Briggs and Stratton quantum engine offers optimal power and long life for all types of domestic trimming and edging.Additionally, a tough, .155-inch diameter cutting line provides ample cutting strength for weeds and thick overgrowth, and the trimmer automatically shuts off when the handle is released for added safety. The trimming head also pivots to follow the contour of the ground, swiveling left to right for easy cutting around obstacles and hard to reach areas. And, when it's time to edge, the head rotates 90-degrees for touching up boarders around sidewalks, driveways, and flowerbeds. The cut line is easily replaced, too, without the use of tools. The trimmer comes with a 2-year warranty on materials and workmanship.
