Great trimmer
I received the Poulan PP125 very quickly from Amazon. After I followed the instructions the trimmer started and ran perfectly. I have used it three times with good results. I could recommend it to anyone who wants a strong trimmer. Sears Garden Centers carries the 40 to 1 ratio oil mixture recommended for this unit, Rating:

Excellent initial impression.
I don't often offer reviews, but I am very impressed and pleased with this product so far. It was quick to snap together right out of the box, and took just 5 minutes before I had it assembled, fueled and started. I have used both consumer and commercial grade equipment, and this has power to spare for my home use.
I've used it just a few times and have already ordered the edger and blower attachments as well. 4 stars instead of 5 only because I haven't had it long enough to test its longevity. Rating:

Good price, but could be better quality.
After many years, my Homelite died. This seemed like a good replacement, and the Poulan name has always been good. Out of the box, it started with very little effort, but after warming up, it won't respond to the pull of the trigger. Only coaxing it up to speed works, telling me it needs a tune-up, which I can do, but some can't, and it should have been done at the factory. Also, the string advancing knob is very cheap, thin plastic. This is the part that will contact the ground and will wear quickly. For pennies, it could have been produced with a much beefier bottom, but I guess Poulan is looking to sell replacements at $3-$5 each. 20 years later, the Homelite ran better and it's knob was at least a little heavier. Also, the Poulan spool doesn't hold near the quantity of string (the Homelite was a single string trimmer, which made little difference in cutting), and the spool snaps into place onto plastic clips, where the Homelite knob had a metal machine screw built into it, securing the spool by screwing the knob into place. I'm just waiting for the plastic catches to wear or break. Still, I guess I'd recommend it. For a little over $100, what can we expect. Rating:

Bad luck
One of my few disappointing online purchases, the item did not work out of the box. Amazon policy for gas-powered items is not to accept a return. I did not pay enough attention to the prior post which referenced this policy. It also took awhile to find a telephone number for Amazon support and the representative I spoke with did not speak English very well. At first, she thought I would be able to return the item. When she couldn't arrange this, a supervisor explained to her that I would have to take the item for warranty repair.
The closest Poulan repair dealer is an hour from my house, 2 weeks for them to check the unit, the clutch was defective, and they had to order the part. In all, it was 3+ weeks before I had a working trimmer.
Trimmer is okay, not worth the aggravation...it does take awhile to get it going , idles rough, and the trimmer is slow to respond. I should have bought a trimmer at Home Depot Rating:

Product and Service Five Stars.
Amazon's great service shines again. Received the trimmer several days ahead of the original time estimate. Everytime I've ordered from Amazon I've been 100% satisfied.
I've probably had half a dozen trimmers over a period of time. Without a doubt this is by far the best I've ever had. The 2 most outstanding features for me are the effortless starting and the thickness of the string. Pulling the starter cord feels like trying to start an engine with the spark plug out. For this senior citizen that means a lot. The trimmer string is .093" and it is more durable than my previous .080" string trimmers. With the .080" string trimmers I would have bumped the head to extend the string at least twice as much as I have with this one which would mean replacing that darn string much more often. |
