Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)My Grass Hog suffered the same maladies as some other reviewers have written.
My initial concern about the volume/cost of string consumed was lessened when I switched to wrapping the spools myself with the bulk professional trimmer line sold at Home Depot.
The plastic holder for the handle snapped off while I had it turned upside down to replace a spool. Fortunately, I was able to reattach the handle using longer screws and duct tape.
The string cutter blade snapped off. Despite this, I was able to continue to use the trimmer as the string would get trimmed by the sharp plastic edge that remained from where the blade had been attached. Eventually, the plastic edge dulled to the point where it no longer cut the string and it wrapped itself around the motor shaft snapping the internal plastic parts controlling the spool. At that point, the trimmer was useless and I trashed it.
Overall, I was pleased with the performance of the unit, both in cutting and the auto-feed function. Having only gotten two seasons out of it was disappointing. Due to its lack of durability, I would only recommend the unit to anyone with small to moderate trimming needs.
