Broke in first 10 seconds of use.
Mine broke within 10 seconds of first use cutting through a hedge that my old plastic $50 black and decker would have chewed through no problem for hours on end. The gears in the gearbox no longer engage. After a quick investigation It looks to me like an engineering problem where the gears are held together only by a loose pressure fit. It seems I am not alone with this problem as it is extensively reported on the internet by others.

This broke within a minute of my using it. Literally less than 60 seconds.

Worked great and was impressed until it broke.
At the Church we have huge hedges the length of the Sanctuary that we have to trim twice a year. half way through trimming one it started making a funny noise. only worked after noise in one position, others did not work at all. It sounds like some gears stripped out. Luckly the place I bought it from said bring it back and they will replace it due to under 90 days since I bought it, so I don't have to go through the service part of this website. One thing I do love about it though is the ease of putting the trimmer at different angles. love the design but durability was not so good.
