Disappointed
Bought the machine one year ago. About 1 month ago, it became harder and harden to start the engine. After servicing the machine and eliminating all usual suspects, the only thing left is to change the starter coil. Too bad that the distributor change means, that I have to wait for another 4 weeks or so. I just hope my spare machine won't let me down. Otherwise the performance has been average. It looses power when turned upright, which is very annoying. Won't buy another Shindaiwa.

Unreliable and inconsistent
The Shindawa T260X has been an absolute trial with it losing power every second job every day I use it. It will be OK for a few minutes then “stutters”.

After a month of “use”, I went back to using my old but reliable Husqvarna. It has been back to the shop where they ripped off a metal shroud around the spark plug and told me that would fix the dodgy running. It didn’t.

Although i'm not a fan of two stroke motors, the Shindaiwa that's made in Japan will last you more than some EU logo's.

Update: My Shindaiwa was still liable to be unreliable that I gave it a service through Kingston Mowers in August. Told them I preferred my 5 year old Husqvarna any day and they laughed. “Oh we will f...
Read moreix that lack of power problem.” $117, but the only difference is that they sped up the idle so that head kept spinning without throttle. The Shindaiwa still loses power at random times and if it does enough I just go back to my elderly Husky for the rest of the week.
