Troy-Bilt TB525EC Reviews & Ratings
Loved the first one, second one is trash
By Tim B. 
Sulphur, Louisiana
Review Posted 11/12/2013 
The first one I bought blasted for years. It was easy to start and was a workhorse. I used the weed eater, limb trimmer, edger and blower. I simply wore it out.

Since I had the attachments and I was pleased with first one I bought a replacement. What a mistake. The new motor is difficult to start. It was adjusted by an authorized mechanic. I had to pay for the repair. It is still hard to start. Now the motor pours out oil (literally). No more Troy Bilt for me.

I just bought a Worx battery powered trimmer and blower.

A Troy-Bilt fans nightmare
By Gary M. 
Schuylkill Haven, Pennsylvania
Review Posted 08/25/2013 
I needed a new gas trimmer, but this model is Hell on Earth to get to the line spool, I need two screwdrivers to pry open the tabs to get to the spool when the line runs out of winds back inside. I have come to the point that I just hate to use this trimmer!!!!!

Soo hard to hold up!
By Christine N. 
Eldon, Missouri
Review Posted 08/18/2013 
Needed an easy to start weeder. This thing is so hard to hold that I hate it. It is very top heavy and not balanced at all. Can't figure out anyway to put a strap on it to help hold it. I have to push front down to make it cut. With these two adverse things, it is really hard to use.
