Ballsy little engine, starts easy, good size fuel tank. You will be doing well to not need a short break before the fuel runs out (unlike these battery units). CONs - Harness is poor quality, shaft is shorter than the Makita and this makes it less comfortable to use, I would say high vibration transmission through to the handle (not helped by the poor harness). Have only used it a few times but it has been clearing some heavy weeds and reeds and had a couple of big sessions. Will update if it fails prematurely. I would hope to get a good 5+ years out of it given the price and my limited use.
