    I have one and its fine but it is a heavy machine so tiring if you've a lot of hedges were you have to reach out a lot, have mine 2 seasons now and I just clean it and oil it before I put it away still working perfect.

    Thanks,

    got one a couple of days ago, no markings to indicate the OEM but looks a very like a Draper 45575, probably made in the same chinese factory

    Support is via http://www.bvg-airflo.co.uk, who seem to be a box-shifting outfit so if it breaks, I imagine refund or replacement will be the best options.

    Tackled a laurel bush with it to see if it works...not exactly like a knife through butter but not too bad either - it didn't jam on anything and is a lot better than the electric yoke I have.

    It is a bit heavy but what would you expect for the money?
