Poulan Pro PPB250E 31cc Split Boom Trimmer (Refurbished)

The unit arrived via UPS in record time for the remote area I live in. The unit was in mint condition upon arrival. Assembly was a breeze. This being the first unit of this type, I had to read the manual regarding starting, and general operation. After that I tanked it up and away I went. Starting the unit was very easy, it took 3 pulls of the start rope and a few seconds to warm up. Living on 1/2 a city block with sidewalks, many shrubs, trees and a fence, and out buildings to edge, I was a bit skeptical with some of the reviews I had read about the unit. The unit stayed running through the entire operation and I did not have to replace the trimmer line, as a mater of fact I had 1/2 the line left when I finished the job. Definitely a five star item. Reading the instructions before starting the job I believe is important, especially if you are not familiar with a Gas Powered Grass Trimmer.. This unit is very well built and of quality materials. Clean up after the job was done was very easy. I removed the safety guard and washed it in the kitchen sink. The rest of the unit I just wiped down with a damp cloth. I have used the unit 5 times prior to this review, and all I can say is it's a Great Unit and I would recommend it to anyone.

This trimmer is great. It runs well and cuts nicely. Now for the one problem....you CANNOT get replacement line for it!!!!! No stores carry the .115 inch line. You can only get it online from maybe 3 places and they only sell it in packs of 12 precut lines for $7 plus shipping!!!! The lines do not last long enough to be worth $1 each. I'm going to try to put a smaller size line in (bigger sizes don't fit) and hope it works. Thats a big problem even though its the only one.
