(More customer reviews)Purchased from Amazon.com with free shipping. Drop ships from manufacturer. Trimmer is well-assembled and has a large fuel tank. It ships with the straight-shaft trimmer mounted and the blade/blade shield neatly included. Switching to the blade head is quick enough, but you need some elbow grease and the provided wrench. The string is pre-cut, and is of odd size. The line is stiff, but not unworkable. It cuts like mad and will slice through most weeds and vines that thinner stuff won't touch. Go ahead and purchase the extra line now--it only comes with 5 pieces and one 1-gallon 40:1 mixer.
Attaching the trimmer guard and J-handle was quick enough, but pay attention to which particular threads you are using on each of the bolts. The coarser threads are intended for the handle bracket and your own Allen wrench will come in handy.
Initial starting was almost exactly per the instruction book, and the carb seems fairly flood-resistant. It wanted to cough at first, but let the self-locking throttle hold for 10 seconds and it will quickly come up to speed. Do not hold the throttle or over-pump the carb and pull sharply. It will reward you with quick starts. Performance is awesome at any throttle speed above one-quarter, and this Poulan really cuts well at about half throttle. The engine is tuned hot and it revs quickly with great torque, despite the flexible driveshaft. Noise supression from the unobstrusive muffler is good and heat shielding is also good. Decent throttle response and fuel economy as well, but be ready to replace the line frequently if you trim in heavy weeds or against concrete or brick. Line changes, fortunately, are fast once you get the hang of it. Overall, a great bargain at $160, especially considering the brush cutter is included. More than adequate for any large residence--highly recommended.
