    The worst trimmer I have ever owned

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 30, 2007 | 4 out of 7 found this Poulan Weed Eater Featherlite SST25 String Trimmer review helpful

    Pros: light weight

    Cons: everything else

    I purchased a featherlite sst25 from walmart on friday evening and returned it the following day. It didnt want to start and then when it finally started it would keep stalling. I followed the instructions and it still wouldnt stay running. After abo...ut 100 pulls later it finally started and would only run if I gave it gas. It would not idol. It took me two hours to trim my three acre yard. Do not buy this trimmer! Read more Less

    3 yrs and still going

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 3, 2009

    Pros: no problems after 3 yrs

    Cons: shaft is too short, eats up line like crazy, won't shut off in emergency

    i've got a 1 acre yard and trimming takes 2 times as long as the mowing. for the last 3 seasons i've been using the trimmer 2 hrs ever two weeks and it still runs without problems. my complaints are that the shaft is just too short for using... it for the amount of time i use it. it kills my back! plus on hilly areas, since it's a bump feed trimmer, it wastes line like you wouldn't believe. i got through 4-6 ft of line per session. the biggest grip is there is NO WAY to shut down in an emergency. you have to hold the stop button for 3 seconds to shut it off. i'm currently looking for a better trimmer, but for the $80 i spent 3 years ago it was worth the money. i'm pretty sure i could get another season or two out of it, but my back will hate me for it!

    Great Product

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Aug 18, 2009

    Pros: Durability, Light Weight

    Cons: none

    I have had one for over 2 years now. never a problem! Starts great ! Runs great ! I always drain the fuel and let it idle until it runs out. THis is a good practive with any 2 stroke. For those who had trouble, learn how to mix gas correctly, becasue... this is a great, light weight product ! I stumbled across this looking for a new head for it. Read more Less

    Don't waste your money on this one

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 15, 2008

    Pros: cuts fine when it's working

    Cons: breaks easily

    This machine will only last about a year. I've had two problems. As I pull the trigger to give it more gas and rev up the engine (in preparation to begin cutting), it stalls and turns off easily. So it keeps dying. Now, after only one summer, the... spring that recoils the pull start rope is broken. So the rope will not coil back into the housing . It's too expensive to fix. Don't waste your money on this cheap Weedeater Featherlite sst25. It's junk. Read more Less

    featherlite sst25

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 3, 2008

    Pros: very reasonable price, good power, appears to be well built

    Cons: none noted

    I have used the machine on two occasions. The first time, i had to adjust the idle mix due to the motor running too fast. The second time i trimmed with it, no problems with the idle. On both occasions i ran a full tank of gas and encountered no prob...lems. The motor is strong enough to take down high growth weeds and small sapplings for which I'm sure it was never intended. Th e machine is well balanced and I had no problem with fatigue. Read more Less
