    The best I have ever bought, I have been cutting grass for about 4 years on over 70 acres, it withstands everywhere and high temperatures for summer 38-45+ degrees, I have tried cutting thick reeds in the river with a knife and it cuts those too. With proper care, it never breaks, the only thing needed is to change spark plugs and air filter

    For the money it costs, it is one of the best choices in a branded scooter, the only thing that moderates the overall excellent image is the increased weight but it definitely compensates you with the power and work you can produce with it!

    I have had it in my possession for 4 years, it has a lot of power, it is reliable and has not had any issues! Specifically, the 543rs that I have, even though it is 2 HP, it has similar power to the Stihl FS 235 with 2.3hp, this is because its maximum power is delivered at lower speeds than the Stihl FS 235! The downside compared to the Stihl that I work with at the company I work for is definitely the weight!

    What you pay is what you get. The only thing it needs with the purchase is another attachment and another head system (which doesn't suit me). You can solve it with 20€... the machine is a beast, it has a lot of power and is very reliable, it's worth its money with 1000€

    Top tool and just hearing it makes you happy, recently purchased of course so I might come back for more, the gas is a bit hard but you find ways to not get tired, needless to say it cuts anything in front of it, it turned some cotton into cream

    I have been using this lawnmower since 2014 for amateur use every year and I have never had to go to the service (I clean the filter myself every year, I only use Husqvarna oil, I only make the mixture for one day of use, I apply special grease to the shaft before use, and I always leave the carburetor empty of gasoline after each use).
    If you want to save on the mixture, you should not use the automatic throttle. However, this means that you will have to calculate yourself to give it more RPM when needed... Personally, I recommend using the automatic throttle (assuming a moderate mixture consumption) which gives it a little more RPM but does not strain the machine by losing RPM due to carelessness!!!
    I consider it a value for money choice!

    I use the machine for professional use and I am completely satisfied. It is well balanced and with good attachment, it is excellent. I mainly use the disc since I do not use herbicides in the fields and I also have woody plants. The machine is worth what you will pay to the fullest. Get something expensive and good that is also high quality. It will repay you to the fullest.

    I have had it for over five years, I only use it with thick fishing line because I never needed to use a disk. I have put it in rough conditions and it has held up well. I have used it continuously for six hours, only adding gasoline when needed. The only thing I do each time is not to leave gasoline in the carburetor (I always let it run empty).

    I have it for almost 1 year, I use it for 8 months per year. It cuts a lot of grass at home and in the fields. It is a reliable machine, it starts easily and its weight is okay compared to its cubic capacity. It has enough power, although I think the fuel consumption is a bit high compared to similar ones in its category, but I'm not completely sure because it may have a smaller fuel tank than others. A small objection about the handles and controls, they could be of better quality and more advanced. What I am very sure about is that the attachment that comes with the machine is fake, very simple and not reinforced at all. I do not regret buying the lawnmower

    The machine is very powerful. I have been using it with a disc from the beginning and have continued to do so. It can handle anything, bushes, small trunks, fine grass, and even relatively low branches if you take it out of the belt. For this purpose - cutting low branches - I am looking for a handle-arm so that I can attach it under the main handle-bar and be able to use it as a pruning tool. I highly recommend it.

    In one word: Dog.
    Its weight is the equivalent of its cubic capacity and horsepower.
    Strong without struggling anywhere.
    It worked tirelessly in a field with tall grass and bushes (obviously with a disc and not with a trimmer line).
    In demanding material (tall or dense grass or bushes), it requires high RPM. It performs well in small grass areas and almost at idle. Using it at high RPM consumes 800 ml of fuel mixture per hour.
    With the brushcutter, the company also provides a double shoulder harness as a gift. However, you can throw it away and buy a better one that has a sturdy back and can be fastened around the waist. The machine is relatively heavy (about 9 kg with fuel and disc). However, with a relatively good harness, you can work tirelessly for hours.
    I will come back to the harness. Now the company provides it with the Balance X, so there is no reason to get another harness.

    The machine is unstoppable... it reaps with a four-string trimmer. The disk leaves nothing standing in cotton and thick bushes... the only thing that needs changing is the vest, the one that comes with it is quite amateurish due to the weight of the machine. Personally, I have also changed the head (universal installation) for use with thicker string in a cross shape.
    In terms of consumption, it is satisfactory, considering the 3.1 hp.
    I highly recommend it.

    The only downside is that it has a hard handle and weight. It is very powerful and I have worked with it for many hours without stopping without any problem. With thick fishing line, the revolutions drop, but it's a minor issue

    I have had this machine in my possession for about a year and a half and I use it professionally. I have never had any issues with it, it starts easily, it is very powerful at 3.1hp and has good torque due to its engine size. It is probably the lightest in its category, weighing under 9kg (8.6), and has over 3hp at 50cc. I have ended up using it with the square Husqvarna trimmer line of 3.3mm and it is unstoppable, it cuts through everything. The only negative thing I can find is the attachment that comes with the trimmer, I didn't like it at all, but the machine itself is excellent.

    It is very powerful, a little heavier than other Husqvarna models. I have had it for three years with no problems. Husqvarna is top-notch

    I bought it about two years ago and its use is purely amateur. It has broken countless times. I have changed the stick, repaired the ignition system, fixed the gas, the screws in the corner come loose, and now as I write this review, it is broken once again. I have asked the dealership to replace it and so far they have extended the warranty for a few months, I am waiting for their response to my new request. I travel from Athens to Messinia to work in an olive grove that I have, and most of the time I return empty-handed. I am really tired of this machine. If the dealership does not replace it, I will buy another one. I will not repair it again, it's a waste of time.

    While its motor has power, as soon as you put thick thread it loses power. With the same thread and head on an Oleomac 753 that I have, I do not encounter such a problem no matter what I cut, because it has greater torque. Its belt is very cheap and makes you feel weight on the machine, so you need to buy another one. It has issues with starting, there are days when it can take your soul out. Its price for today's era is expensive compared to what it gives you as a whole.

    Powerful and high-quality machine, suitable for any tough job, such as cutting grass with a star-shaped blade. Very good air filter, which can be cleaned multiple times. Disadvantages: It requires a choke and gas lock from the handle to start, which is not easy until you get used to it. It is powerful from medium speeds and above and makes a lot of noise. It comes with a cheap vest, which probably won't last long and you will need to buy something better. Recommended with the above reservations.
    After using it for a while, I notice that the fuel consumption is high compared to other branded machines, similar to Chinese 50cc ones. Supposedly, the advanced engine reduces consumption, but the fuel tank doesn't even last for a quarter of an acre with weeds and grass half a meter tall.
