      It's a decent unit for occasional homeowner use 👍

    Thanks for the video. I was looking into one of these and it seems to work well.

    Great video, thanxs for making it. I’ve been on the fence about spending $200 for this unit or $550 for an Echo. Your’s looked like it worked just fine for a home owner so gonna go get it and save some money. 👍🏻

      For occasional use it works just fine, certainly not a commercial unit but if you only need it for a couple hours a year it should suffice.

    Love the vid! The canned fuel is a 0%ethynol. The trimmer(I have same one) requires a max of 2%. Pump gas is up to 10%. So regular pump gas will wear out the engine quicker.

      Yeah the ethanol blend fuel is hard on carbs and fuel systems. I give all my small engines pump gas but use some Marvel Mystery Oil additive, which does really well in preventing carbon buildup. Ethanol is hydroscopic so it attracts water, which is part of the reason why it is bad to let small engine carbs sit with the same fuel for extended periods. The 2 cycles are better served by having the fuel/oil mix so they tend to be more tolerant of the ethanol fuel blends. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!!!

    I use the true fuel also but I think it finishes real fast

    Go with a DeWalt power head 60v flexvolt and attachment chainsaw.

      We have continued to use this combo unit, mostly for pole saw work but also for brush cutting. It has continued to be a decent homeowner-quality machine. Just wish they had gone with a 2 stroke engine instead. The 4-stroke is heavy and awkward.
