What do you folks think of the spec?

My least, dead, hedge trimmer was electric -a re there any issues, using
a petrol-driven trimmer? What about maintenance of the engine?


You'll probably find it pretty heavy to use at 5.4KG, compared to an
electric unit.

It doesn't quote vibration or noise figures, a good chance it has a Chinese
engine on it at this price.

As far as maintenance goes. It's 2-stroke, so make sure you use mix fuel and
mark a separate container if you keep unleaded in the garage/shed. Keep the
blades lubricated.
