What is the CHOICE Expert Rating?
Good points

Good Points

  • Blade control lever – engine stops almost instantly when the bar is released.
  • Quick-release folding handle.
  • Wash nozzle for easy cleaning underneath the housing.
  • Snorkel for the engine to keep the dust away from the air filter.
  • No controls to worry about, the engine always runs at maximum speed.
  • Upturned metal handle at a good height. The blade control bar blends in fairly well with the bar.
Bad points

Bad Points

  • A little tiring to push and it's front heavy so turning is not easy.
  • Noticeable vibration, but not too annoying or uncomfortable.
  • Starter cord mounted on the handle is not particularly easy to pull and requires strength in the shoulder.
  • The catcher is not particularly easy to empty due to the restricted opening even though it has a second handle.
  • Requires a fair amount of effort to adjust the cutting height due to the heavy spring-loaded lever.
