Electrolux's gasoline-powered, curved-shaft string trimmer features a 16-inch cutting path for taking out that weed patch quickly. Powered by a unit's 25 cc engine, this trimmer zips quickly through stubborn weeds, vines, and thistle. Electrolux's handy, Tap-'n'-Go line-advance lets out line smoothly when the head is quickly bumped on the ground--so you do the whole yard at once without having to kill the engine, re-string, and start up again every time the line gets sucked into that chain link fence. A rugged, plastic housing and lightweight aluminum shaft mean optimal handling and durability. And, a lightweight design ensures superb maneuverability for buzzing around landscape features, down long fence lines, and between flowers. More great features: Easy no-tool assembly gets you up and running quickly. The unit's quiet engine won't annoy the neighbors and is easy to start. A squeezable primer bulb facilitates startups on colder days. And, Electrolux's Quick-Snap spool replacement lets you change heads in less than ten seconds. Best of all, the purchase is covered by manufacturer 2-year warranty. Brian D. Olson

 Easy Starting Lightweight Weed Trimmer March 22, 2006

I was satisfied with this product after using it. No problem at all starting. It has good motor response and is easy to control with a well designed trigger for accelerating. The line feed worked OK, except motor needs to be going fast for line to cut itself. It seemed a little hesitant before warming up, but further usage will help to learn when to adjust the choke. Best part is its light weight, since extended use will not cause arm fatigue. Should be adequate to use for most housholds.

Bought Weedeater brand new from Sears in February, 2006. Used 2 times without a problem (actually like better than the Craftsman trimmers i had before.)During the 3rd use, after about 10 minutes i stopped the trimmer to remove some small branches in the area where i was to trim next. After restarting trimmer ( which started on first try) i noticed the pull cord did not rewind into the trimmer. Have not been able to start trimmer since . I believe problem is the Starter Sping for rewinding the pull cord rope, which is not covered in the warrenty.
 happy with purchase July 19, 2006

I had been looking to purchase a new weedeater, and so knew a good price when I saw it. Getting free shipping from Amazon on this made the choice easier. I wanted a light-weight, easy to operate weedeater and that is exactly what I got. The price was right and the free shipping made the purchase on-line less expensive than going to a big-box store. It arrived quickly as well. I have used the weedeater for approximately 15 hours or so of run time and it starts easly, is light weight and easy to handle, and has plenty of power for my needs. My wife even finds it easily manageble and not to heavy for her to use.
 Hard to start and stalls out once running. April 9, 2007

First time I bought a curved shaft trimmer, my old one crapped out on me so I needed a new one and saw this one on sale for around 66 dollars so I bought it. When I got it it already came assembled so all I had to do was put in the 2 cycle gas. After that I tried to start the trimmer as instructed, it took around 2-3 minutes to get it started, and once it was started and I started using it, the trimmer kept stalling on me. It must of stalled around 9-10 times trying to trim the house and the fence. Even though it stalled that many times, it still did the job it was intended to do, don't know if I received a bad weed eater or not, but I wasn't going to order the same model or brand again, I would try a brand I was accustomed too. After I was finished, I packed the machine up and sent in back to Amazon, and I orderd a more expensive one, and I'm glad I did.
This is a great string trimmer!!! November 25, 2006

I had a HUGE need for this, and was contemplating just going to Sears, and getting it there. But if you've read my review on the Poulan lawn mower, and my previous experiences with Sears, I opted to wait on free shipping!!
I had to get caught up on my weed eating, since our old one died, and man this one didn't let me down!! Just mixed up some fuel, and gave it a few pulls, and I was weedeating!! I managed to get the entire yard done, and proceeded to trim the walkway, and ran out of string. Guess I should've bought some with the order! Oh well, live and learn!!!
Since then, fall has arrived, and the yard is hibernating, so I guess I'll be pulling it out in April. Don't let the price/size deter you. This is a great string trimmer, pretty powerful!!!
