Poulan Pro PP025 17-Inch 25cc 2-Cycle Gas-Powered Curved-Shaft String Trimmer with Split Shaft Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I ordered this trimmer. It is apparently manufactered by the same people as homelite and John Deere trimmers so can not expect too much quality--just a low price throwaway item to replace every year or two.
The first one arrived with a broken cover to the air filter area. Flimsy plastic cover. Called Amazon and recieved replacement--sent back original.
Replacement arrived as promised. Does not start-suspect defective fuel system(priming bulb pulls in air bubbles with gas). Called Poulan--Determined defective. Gave me name of local repair center. Didn't expect a long service life, but at least expect to work when first get it out of the box! Local independent repair service was fast and courteous. Gave them just the motor portion. On return started fine. Well balanced, not bad vibration. Shortly after started using, started running rough and smoking near string end. Swapped to an older attachment and finished job. Took in attachment for repair--the bearings had seized within 15 minutes of use! Will be a week before I get it back. Fortunately I have spare attachments from past trimmers that fit.
Will update with progress.

Troy-Bilt TB90BC 17-Inch 31cc 2-Cycle Gas Powered Straight Shaft String Trimmer/Brush Cutter With Detachable Shaft Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have used this trimmer for two full seasons for typical yard work. It has plenty of power for my purpose, but I'm not convinced it has "plenty of brawn to power through the most ragged, overgrown grass," as the description states. I cannot comment on the brush cutter as I have not used it.
The trimmer is relatively light and easy to handle. The strap provided with the trimmer is of little value. It is thin and awkward to use. Although I did use it for a short time, the clip which attaches to the trimmer bent and so I just disposed of it. The trimmer is light enough that a strap isn't necessary for routine yard work.
The "EZ-Start" system works very well: it starts very easily, usually with just a pull or two of the cord. The trimmer is loud, but that is expected and is not a personal concern.
Although the string became bound on the reel provided with the purchase, I had the problem only once and the bumphead otherwise works reasonably well.
I considered three stars for this review given problems with the pull cord. The description states that only a "slow, smooth, easy pull" is necessary to start the trimmer. Perhaps the problem with my trimmer's cord is an anomaly, but it is anything but smooth. The cord often sticks during the pull. Pulling through it is usually not a problem, although the cord recently became bound and had to be serviced. I decided on four stars since, despite the awkward pull of the cord, it still starts on the first or second pull.
The trimmer is now in its third season and, other than the cord issue, it is mechanically sound and still starts easily. Overall, I am pleased with the purchase and recommend it for anyone needing a trimmer for routine yard work.

The Troy-Bilt 31 cc clutched straight-shaft gas trimmer features convenient EZ-Start choke technology, which allows the user to simply flip the choke, prime the engine, and then give a slow, smooth, easy pull for a guaranteed start. The EZ-Start technology allows the trimmer's engine to engage with 55-percent less effort than most gas models. With its rugged 31 cc engine, the trimmer provides plenty of brawn to power through the most ragged, overgrown growth. The trimmer's professional-style straight-shaft, split-boom design gives easy access underneath low-growing shrubs. The trimmer cuts in a 17-inch radius and features heavy-duty, 0.105-inch dual lines with convenient bump-head line release. When it's time to replace the line, the featured SpeedSpool line replacement system is exceptionally easy to load and rewind, all without removing the spool or taking it apart. The entire trimmer feels exceptionally balanced and comfortable in the hand, and the ergonomic soft-grip D-shaped handle easily adjusts for both right and left-handed users. The trimmer's engine and upper handle is compatible with other Troy-Bilt EZ-Link attachments (sold separately), a feature that allows you to turn your trimmer into an edger, cultivator, hedge trimmer, blower, or pole saw. The trimmer comes with all the necessary oil for immediate operation, and is covered by a 2-year limited warranty.

Factory Reconditioned Weed Eater FeatherLite FL20 15-Inch 20cc 2-Stroke Gas Powered Curved Shaft String Trimmer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The trimmer arrived with a broken off choke adjustment (can't adjust choke to start engine) and a broken air box which holds the air filter and cover in place. The broken off parts were not in the shipping box so I have to assume that it was broken when it left the reconditioning facility. The trimmer may work fine, I don't know. My dissatisfaction is in the apparent lack of oversight in reconditioning. I think it's a gamble purchasing this trimmer.

Troy-Bilt TB575 EC 17-Inch 29cc 4-Cycle Gas-Powered Straight-Shaft String Trimmer with Detachable Shaft Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Save your money!!!!! After going thru cheap gas trimmers like disposable lighters, I thought I'd bite the bullet and buy a good one. Well, after spending $199.00 for this troy built, I thought this would last me a while. WRONG!!! I pruchased it from Fleet Farm in Chippewa Falls WI. While using it my third time, I heard a terrible noise, and it suddenly quit. Returning to the store with it, they told me I abused it, and there was nothing they could do (trimming weeds is abuse?! - isnt that what this is supposed to do?) So another $109.00 later, it now had a new flywheel. Tried it again - after about 15 minutes use, there was that horrible noise again, and another sudden stop. I called Troy Built, and was told to take a hike, it was my problem, and they would do nothing for me, but I could send it in and they would install another flywheel for me - Another $109.00 + shipping. My nice new Troy built trimmer now occupies its rightful spot at the local landfill, along with the $308.00 it cost me for about 1-1/2 hours use. Along with the putrid performance of this piece of garbage goes the total lack of service by the selling dealer, FARM AND FLEET in chippewa falls.
If youre thinking of buying one of these trimmers - DONT DO IT - it is an expensive paperweight, with absolutely no customer service.
