So let's start with the basic features: it is heavy, yes BUT! It has a 72cc engine and 3.4 horsepower, what did you expect it to be feather-light? It has vibrations, yes, in a normal frame of course, but it's not a Stihl, Husqvarna, Echo, etc. Relax! The build quality is fine for the money it costs! As for the assembly, yes, it is something you would want to throw away and get a new one! I used it for the first time yesterday, the day I bought it, of course, but before I started it, I checked it first! Almost all the screws needed tightening before I started it because otherwise, I would have gone to the comments and left negative reviews! (Not that it's right for me to check the machine for any flaws, but it's cheap, guys, let's not kid ourselves)! Then, the head needed a lot of grease since the company didn't put enough in it! I opened it, took it out, put special grease in it, and placed it back! I changed the spark plug, put an iridium one (I know, I'm exaggerating, but I like to put the best), put a better air filter, and put good mixing oil in a 25:1 ratio as the brochure says (don't use your own ratios, kids, also not full synthetic because if you don't constantly use the machine and empty the fuel tank for storage, it will attract moisture inside the engine and cause corrosion, while semi-synthetic doesn't have that problem, also, just because something is expensive doesn't always mean it's good because full synthetic costs 18 euros per liter and semi-synthetic costs 10 euros, yes, but!) In the first start, you don't let it work for half an hour or something, but crazy things I heard inside (I have contacted companies like Stihl, Husqvarna, Echo, and none of them told me that much, they told me 5 minutes is enough, after all, you don't need a university degree to understand that it's an air-cooled engine and it cools down with its fan: it works slowly at low speeds and quickly at high speeds!) Now, something else I didn't notice that needed attention, I did everything I could, I hope it lasts well, also don't make the mistake of washing the engine with water, it has electrical and mechanical parts where water has no place, also if you wash it directly after stopping work, the cylinder may break due to expansion and contraction.. and as for the fuel consumption, well, it's a beast of an engine, it's logical to have it, guys... I wish you good cuts and I hope it stays properly maintained and everything goes well!
!!!!!28/4/23, so I'm back. I have to say that after almost a year, the machine works perfectly, it hasn't presented any functional problems so far, I use it semi-professionally and it has cut everything so far. The only thing I didn't like is the head, which I threw away after the first cut, kids, don't buy a new one on the spot, get one from the Echo, Stihl, Husqvarna series. Take care! It starts on the second pull, even in winter (with priming in the carburetor and choke as recommended)! Nothing else, just satisfied! Oh, I should add that the build quality is equally good since it fell from a height of 1 meter onto concrete and the plastic parts are intact (? amazing for its price)
