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?


It's 2 stroke, and if a petroil mix, avoid.


Nothing wrong with a modern 2-stroke IF you use best synthetic oils and
a low oil to fuel mix. Oiled up plugs are a thing of the past.

a 4 stroke gets to heavy for the power.


I would prefer a generator (as low as £40) and decent electric
trimmer.
