Silent achiever - line trimmer at low cost – I purchased this line trimmer around 11 years ago. It was my second Homelite line trimmer. First one had been damaged due to my lack of skills as I started learning how to cultivate garden. The price was excellent (read: cheap). I love companies that do not advertise much. In my specific case, Homelite delivered what I want and need. I enjoy… Read more
using it due to its extremely light weight and easiness of use. Most of other line trimmers are too heavy to carry when one has larger plot of land.
I wish Homelite were still present in Australia.
The only negative comment I might have is that the engine is not strong enough for some type of overgrown grass.
Overall, I am a satisfied customer. I will be sorry when one day it dies and I cannot find spare parts...
Still works fine after 10 years – Bought from bunnings price was $50 or $59. I have never serviced it and it still goes fine today. It still starts first pull. I have even used it commercially for 5 years, nothing will break it! I havnt replaced anything. Ive noticed the newer models have a smaller carby, no bump feed and now $140. Show details
Beast of a machine! – I've had mine for a couple of years now and use it extensively on my small acerage property. It cuts thick grass when you have the line thickness and length dialed in. Starts easily and consistently. No issues so far. The fuel tank is a little small but it's a small trade off.
Congratulations Homelite – Congratulations Homelite on putting out possibly the worst accessory imaginable to the Australian market The straight shaft trimmer and motor are fine. Easy to start, reliable but that would be where it ends. The bump feed line trimmer head is truly woeful. They just don't work or last. I've been through 3 in less than two years including one I had to destroy to get it off the mount. Off to the tip you go you've worn be out . Show details
Junk bin it – Wow what a nightmare never again will I buy homlite
Would have been quicker to edge the lawn with a pair of secateurs – This would be an alright product if I didn't have to spend so much time replacing the freaking line on this thing. No matter what line I use it snaps of so often I spend more time replacing the line than using it. Then when the primer bulb went it was really difficult to find the right replacement part. Save yourself the time, the money and the frustration and buy something half decent instead. Show details
I thought to buy a cheap whipper snipper 1st – I'M currently looking for a new whipper at the moment as it finally broke down. All I ever did to this machine was put a Ryobi quick line change spoul to make faster line changing. I suppose now I can buy a top brand unit that will last longer than this. I paid $89 for it, it would start for me within 4pulls of the cord. I can probably repair the… Read more
problem it has now, motor still great but I think the shaft coupling between broke. I'M thinking I'll keep it for spares and buy another one. People stuff them up, they do the wrong 2stroke mix, they don't understand what a 2stroke motor is. They don't keep the machine in good condition, just complain when it's broke. 2013 when purchased and was almost betting on it to break within a year. How wrong was I. 8 years of service.A++++++
Good whipper snipper for small yards, easy to start. Have had issues with bump feed – Light weight and quite, good for small yards and shorter grass. Easy to change the line on the newer ones but a pain in the head on the older models. Easy to start, the people who complain they are hard to start have obviously never maintained it or haven’t read the bit in the manual on how to start it. Super easy to work on if something does go wrong. Show details
It's not to good to be true – You are not being fooled. My homelite went for 4yrs and only required a few pulls before starting towards the end. However due to me whippering a heck of a lot it still never failed. I ended up selling it with my mower when I moved to a property that had lawn maintenance included. Also Homelite Ryobi AEG and Milwaukee are all from the same… Read more
company... All quality products. Only issue I had was I went bent shaft and being a tall bloke a straight shaft would have been better chosen for my height.... I also found the Homelite to be economical and had a decent tank size.
Too good to be this good? – I've lost count how many of these infernal machines I've battled with over the years. All my battled were lost, incidentally. So, how come this really inexpensive product starts first time, doesn't stop when it wants and is effortless to use? Bought at Bunnings about April 1st. Hope it's not trying to fool me! Show details
