Hyundai 17"/43cm 52cc Petrol Wheeled Grass Trimmer, Compact and Portable with Foldable handles, 1200ml fuel tank, 3 Year Warranty

In 2022 I purchased a Hyundai 52cc Petrol Grass Strimmer Trimmer; Its been a good reliable tool, but being a bit short in stature and very old, I find it a bit heavy, so when I saw this, I just had to purchase it. It’s the same machine but with wheels, It was a doddle to assemble with the super easy instructions and started first pull, in-fact, with the wheels to support it its so much easier all round. Its got some negative points, in that the handle stork would make Mickey Mouse proud. It was too tall for me at first instance but easy to fix, replacing the Meccano bits with a short length of 20mm metal conduit. I’ve only had it 3 weeks, but this is the time it’s the busiest in my super size garden. If it turns out to be as reliable as my old one I’m well happy. In a few words, It’s a great piece of kit.

This is a badly designed unit, the wheels are too small making the strimmer head sit up so it is not parallel to the ground. The three piece steering arm is not rigid enough giving poor steering.

Was a little hestitate to push the button and buy this given the reviews. However, assembly was easy (much easier than the manual suggests) and the device is prefectly adequate for the job I intended (first cut of field). Only criticism is it hurts to hold the control for so long.

Looks fine for the job. Just waiting to try it out

What's not to love? Well, I've found the strimmer head difficult to manage, but then, I'm old and arthritic. Also the handles sit atop thee metal tubes that are bolted together: so industrious am I, that during usage these bolts have loosened. The handles are a bit to long for me but I guess at 5' 2" I'm not average height. A taller user would find it perfectly acceptable. The instruction booklet doesn't reflect the model but with a modicum of intelligence it's easy to work out what's necessary. I think it's worth the money. A bit loud. Was difficult to start initially, but now all is well.

Unit has 2 halves: the engine assembly - excellent. The other half is the handle assembly - not fit for purpose. Badly engineered, bolts don't fit the holes, i wanted to return it but received just bureaucratic responses from the supplier. Instead, I took it to metal workshop and had the handle finished properly.

Hyundai Power Products UK sent and charged from my card (in seconds), two boxed Wheeled Trimmers through Amazon Prime; I only ordered one. Both boxes were very short of items for assembly, spares, and there was none of the safety items listed. I could not even make one trimmer out of the two boxes of components. 'Customer Service' promised to send the long list of missing parts well over two weeks ago and despite strong reminders I've heard nothing and recieved nothing. I now have a worthless load of junk. (The quality of manufacture is poor-flimsy and not looking very durable). This appeared to be the answer to the garden maintainence dreams of a person of advancing years and abilities. Worst Amazon rip-off experience ever.

A big bit of kit so not for small gardens but works brilliantly even into corners
