Comment:
carefully following instructions for assembling guard to body, the guard simply does not fit. It may be a matter of the wrong guard or tollerance build up. Either way, very frustrating!

A month or less

Comment:
Bought this right before I went back north, then used it right after I came back to Florida...The darn thing melted on me...The part that melted held the spinner onto the rotating shaft - there is a note in the Homelite parts guide that they don't show an exploded view of the shaft head because it needs to be repaired by a professional...
How long have you owned it:
Three-to-six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Comment:
I picked this up early this year due to CR's relatively high listing and very low price. Like many others, mine eats line like it was candy. I've tried a few different lines with the same result. We have a moderate size yard, and a full load of line barely makes it to the end.<br /><br />There is nothing else special about the line trimmer. It isn't especially light, well-balanced, or more convenient than other trimmers. It's simply cheap.<br /><br />From the other reviews, it appear that some people don't have the line eating problem. Nonetheless, many of us do. So good luck getting one that doesn't have this problem.
