    I guess that says a lot?
    
    Buy what your local dealer sells, then you have a relationship with him, and you know he carries spares!

  I tried one years ago (2011 i think) and it was fine, not bad vibes etc but as noone else had one and dealer was honest and said new to him I chose makita for the blower.
  Apprently good overall but parts are slow to arrive if it does break

    I have had my efco hand mower for ten years and it has never missed a beat. It has the Honda engine which is supremely reliable. It has it's original belt and blade [I just re-sharpen] , so I would reccomend them. Having said that, all my other gear is Stihl, Stiga and Honda.

  We have an Efco strimmer which is going strong after 10 years. It has only ever needed a new head, otherwise no money spent on it whatsoever. Always starts first time.

  Just be careful that you buy the expensive stuff as they do a homeowner range which is ****. The pro stuff is great had a long reach hedge cutter and a brushcutter and normal hedge cutter on the farm for years and they get abused and still going strong. Only thing to need replacing are the blades on cutters.

  We have an old efco strimmer  which is at least 6 years old and has never missed a beat.

  Also one of the small ones which you can change the tools on, hedge trimmer, strimmer, chain saw, it was abused for four years, every day so was a good work horse for me !!

  We also run efco mowers !!
