Bought this Badger to replace a 4 cycle Troy Bilt that had many, many quality problems. The Badger connects to all the attachments I already own, Edger, Hedge Trimmer, Pole Saw. The Badger is great so far. Starts easily on the 2nd pull, well built and has so much more power than my old unit, even when it was brand new. Was easy to assemble. Keep checking the oil level with the dipstick on first fill as it could be easy to overfill. It is a bit heavy but well balanced and can be used with or without the harness. On top of it all there is a 6 year residential warranty. I highly recommend this product - excellent value so far!

Works as intended. Does not have the power of a comparable Honda grass trimmer; however, I paid twice as much for the Honda. We will know in future if it’s reliability.

Very quick shipping and just as described. Be aware—it's heavy and needs the harness it comes with. It's somewhat difficult to start, but once it's running, it's great. It could use a zirk fitting at the cutter head to grease the shaft. Since it's not there, I'll use a needle greaser before storage. Instructions are somewhat lacking and could use some additional details. Overall, I like it better than the battery types. - much more power!

Bought first one about a year ago. Never have I used any machine so easy to start and operate. Is it heavy? Yes. Is it a 4 stroke motor? Yes. It is very capable and extremely powerful & reliable. Never will use a 2 stroke string trimmer again ever. Ive owned dozens of the 2 stroke units from very expensive major brands to cheap ass Murray models. None of them lasted long (2 seasons at best) always had to fiddle to get them started- except when they were new. I added counterweights on the head to make the machine have a zero-balance point where the strap attaches to make it efortless to accurately control the position while using the machine. Yes it did add about 19.5 ounces. Added to the 14 pounds you're already carrying (using a harness) it doesn't really make any difference in overall weight...sure reduces fatigue from having to hold the head down during use. This is a truly wonderful machine!Read full review
