Title: I used it - I can't stand it
Review: I bought this unit recently - thinking that this wheeled trimmer would be easier on my back. Was I ever wrong.First, the engine is very hard to start - plus the pull cord is strung through an eye-bolt that turns if you pull at an angle which will jam the cord.Second, I am 6'4" and this unit's handles are obviously too short for me. I wouldn't recommend using this trimmer unless you are less than 6 foot tall.Third, the wheels can't handle any uneven terrain - things like going over roots next to a tree require much additional force. Plus if you hit uneven terrain the front of the unit, which has no wheels, has a tendency to tip forward - giving areas you didn't want to wack a too-close trim.Fourth - Since the head is fixed you can't easily position this unit in hard to reach areas.Fifth - I went through two lines just doing 1/4 acre - the lines are expensive to buy.Skip this unit - for the money you can get a very good string trimmer that uses standard line.
