Weed Eater FLSST25 FeatherLite 17-Inch 25cc 2-Cycle Gas Powered Straight Shaft String Trimmer

This light weight trimmer has a straight shaft that extends reach for easier trimming under shrubs and fences. The straight shaft is great for taller folks, taking the strain off the back for more comfort. The unit's 25 cc engine spins the head fast to make quick work of the feistiest thistle, grass, and weeds. A 17-inch cutting path and dual-line cutting head team up to cover a lot of ground quickly. The unit's gear-driven system means better trimming performance at any speed. And, weighing just 8-1/3 pounds, this trimmer is not only easy to handle, it's kinder to the shoulder and back as well. Poulan's Quick-Snap head means ten-second spool replacements, less downtime, and more productivity. The unit is EPA and C.A.R.B. compliant for optimal efficiency and safety. Best of all, a rugged plastic housing and lightweight aluminum shaft offer unsurpassed durability and longer tool life. The purchase includes replacement spool and is covered by a manufacturer 2-year warranty. Brian D. Olson
Customer Review: Don't waste your money
Immediately upon receiving this product I assembled it, gassed it up, and pulled the starter. It started right away! Only problem, it would not STAY running!! I messed with it for about 20 minutes before finally giving up and calling the 800 number. After a wait of seven minutes a customer rep told me the problem was the carburetor. The carburetor was not "Adjusted" for my area (Ohio). I would have to take it to a repair shop. This product was just minutes out of the box!!! An email to the company confirmed that the most likely culprit was the carb and that some areas of the country have this problem.
Customer Review: economy trimmer
Folks I have this weed eater since 2001, and it has gotten many work-outs sometimes I run it for almost 2 hrs trimming 3 acres of light to moderate weeds. I will say this I have changed the spark plug once, and have never been to concerned of the gas to oil mix ratio, just guessing most of the time. It is a little tricky to get started, a few primers and a few pulls on full choke, a few primers and pulls on moderate choke, and off and running removing the choke totally. She runs smooth, and never misses a beat, and I was very happy with almost every feature, but the bump and feed system totally sucks. I mean I'm always turning it off flipping the spool over and pulling the string out to get the proper length etc. I think I paid &69.00 at lowes back in 2001 at, and I've gotten my money out of this, but the time I spend on the bump and feed really slows me down to a crawl. I realize I need a bigger more expensive unit now, but if you have moderate trimming and live in a more city to suburban setting with little ground this will be a nice selection. I think I over used the bump/feed spool, and have suffered through ever since. The little motor humms and I've never done any service but the plug and the throttle wire after many uses had to be repaired, and $20 bill at my local mower shop so now you can make a more informed choice about this one!

Customer Review: Great machine
I bought this for the weed eater attachment, I will use the saw some but mostly the weed eater. Shipped on time tracked it online, amazon used fedex. arrived in orginal box so it was no wondering what it was. No damage from shipping. Started great, 2 pulls, but I did follow the instructions and the advice others gave here, push the priming button 6 times. Weed eater attachement works great but just some getting used to with the angle and not a straight shaft, that is the only reason it is 4 and not 5 stars. Saw worked good, I would stay that I used this for about 45-60 min and must of started and stoped it 4-5 times and I moved branches and changed attachments. After it was warm it started on first pull. give it some gas before you tilt it upward to cut a branch, or it won't have the power. Great machine works great,
Customer Review: Poulan Pro PP446ET
This item has performed very nicely for what I had hoped to use it for. It is a bit heavier than I thought it would be (most noticeable when reaching for those tall branches)but it is getting the job done. I also purchased the brush cutter option for this and it also does a nice job cutting. It was delivered exactly on time and the cost (I researched!) was the best with Amazon Am VERY pleased with the whole system. -Fred in Sandown NH

Customer Review: It's great!!
I've had mine for about 5yrs. I'm now in need of new battiers but it works so good. A little maintance and good to go. Battiers cost a bit but they did last 5 yrs. Can't beat the price I paid 99.00$ for the whole set. Well worth it.
Customer Review: Perfect for me
This is the best of the home tools I have purchased as a homeowner. I charge one battery while using the other one. Perfect and lightweight too.

Swisher Shindaiwa E4 24.5cc 4-Stroke Engine Commercial Grade String Trimmer #E4-S3000

Quiet, lightweight trimmer, with the high torque and excellent fuel economy of our E4 Hybrid engine. Equipped with a durable, solid steel mainshaft and superior balance to reduce operator fatigue and improve performance. Available in California.
Customer Review: Next-generation trimmer
I previously owned a professional-model Shindaiwa trimmer, which was great and nearly indestructible. This one by Swisher has an advanced type of Shindaiwa engine, is lighter weight, and due to its higher RPM cuts unbelievably well. Vines, twigs on tree branches, tall weeds, all are practically vaporized. The self-feeding spool works as advertised-- you can restring it in 30 seconds, without tools-- once you know how it works and what to expect. The manual does a very poor job of explaining how the spool works. It only provides an illustration with arrows and symbols, and no text explaining how you're supposed to thread the replacement line. I did it wrong the first time, then had to use up the line by trimming, with only one feed instead of two, because I couldn't figure out how to remove the line once installed. Now I know what to expect and can load new line in no time.
