Negative Positive
Title: Belt/Pulley failure
Review: This item has a design flaw as all these 1 star reviews point out. I have had this trimmer for less than a year and while I was using it for the first time since the fall the string head stopped rotating but the motor kept going. Being an engineer I take everything apart, so I found out that the belt had broken and the pulley had melted. Would a metal pulley really cost that much more? This is one of the most expensive corded trimmers and at the time that I got it the reviews were a little more positive and it had also gotten favorable reviews from consumer reports. I guess they just don't make things to last. Everything else about the trimmer is fine. The reason they don't sell replacement pulleys is because the pulley and the bearings are press fit on the shaft and therefore it is not something the average homeowner will be able to replace.
Is the review positive or negative?
