I bought this weedeater thinking it would be better than the one I used to have. Needless to say, I'm not impressed with it. First thing I don't like is that I'm only 5' 2" tall, and holding this long shafted weedeater is difficult because I have to hold it much higher than my old one for it to reach the right angle to the ground. It's not so light either, so forget that unless you're a strong person. I noticed that the dual trimmer line tends to get caught up in things and shuts it down very easily. I suppose if you just weedeated around a few flower beds it would be fine, but to get around fences...
read full review »i have bough this gas trimmer and very satified it was easy to crank and does a excellent job on my yard,
I had a featherlite before, at least 15 year, and I loved it. The F20 is no comparison. The instructions said to use synthetic oil with the gas and I could not start it. After several attempts, I put the usual oil gas mix in it and it started. Oh yeah, it started, but wouldn't stay running. My husband adusted the idle the best he could, but now I have to run it on 1/2 choke. Do not buy this weedeater.
