Urgent advice !Flymo Petrol Strimmer. XLT 250

Hi I've found 2nd hand one for £30 they retail at £70 anyone used one before, or should I invest on a new bush cutter strimmer.
For a large garden.

Thanks

 

Depends on the condition of the one "you have found" as to if its a good buy or good bye.

 

Hi there....i've always thought its better to buy equipment new that way if anything goes wrong with t least you've got the manufactures guarantee!! but 1 of my family members does have the flymo and she has paddocks so see what else you can find perhaps....

 

I found this info

I wouldnt bother, buy a stihl, new or secondhand.

The flymo will just have a cheap chinese throw away engine, cheaply and badly made and semi disposable, with a stihl no matter how old you can get parts next day and sell on for almost what you bought for.

 

Thanks all for your advice I did not go for it.
