Summary:
I've only used it 4 times and it went through 2 spools of line! If I can get the line feed and tap n go thing to work, this might be a good weedeater. I love the fact that it starts right up and cuts faster, but the line feed thing is driving me crazy!!

Strengths:
Starts 1st or 2nd pull, easy to use, cuts weeds and grass fast, and uses gas/oil mix very efficiently, but I need a reliable weedeater for 1 acre with rocks, gravel, cement, and alot of trees. Line spools are cheaper at $6 compared to $15 for Craftsman.

Weaknesses:
Tap and go doesn't work right and I'm having problems with the line feed. After years of using a Craftsman auto feeder, I thought I would try a Poulan tap and go, but since it is using more line, I may have to return to an auto feeder. Also, this engine is louder so I have to wear ear protection.

Summary:
I bought it because it was lighter weight than my Ryobi 4 cycle and supposedly easier to start. Although it is easier to pull the rope, I haven't gotten it to start yet.

Strengths:
Nicely balanced, easy attachments

Weaknesses:
won't start

Summary:
Overall I like it. Its my first gas trimmer so really have nothing to compare it with. I had trouble starting the first time so I tried holding the throttle in all the way putting it on run and it instantly started. Every time now its starts on the first pull. The price was also good. I'm pleased overall.

Strengths:
Easy to handle and is very efficient with the gas mix. Also easy to start.

Weaknesses:
The tap and go line feed doesn't seem to work properly and had trouble snapping into place once I took it off. It is also quite loud.

Summary:
out of the box it strated and ran great that is till the idle speed needed adjustment. I didn't even finsh my yard before that happened.

Strengths:
this is my first gas trimmer. i expected it to be easy to operate and it was . Lots of poer

Weaknesses:
Tap and go line feed doesn't work right. vibrates alot
