Heavy (unbalanced) head, annoying string loading, off/on trigger that will whip everything at max speed when activated, and no changeable shaft or any other goodies.
It's not bad for the price, but IMO you have to be a masochist to use this for any length of time and/or on a large property. Do yourself a favor and spend more money to get another model with a variable speed trigger and an easier loading spool.
I had a model very similar to this one initially and after a year on a small lot I grabbed a used Ryobi P2009 on eBay for $39. Best money I ever spent on an upgraded tool.
It's balanced and doesn't kill my back, I never even engage "high" on the switch, the variable trigger is like using a scalpel vs bludgeoning things with "on/off" operation, and the rare times I do have to add line you just pull the string to the middle and crank wind it quickly and automatically into the spool.
Some might want the version similar to the P2009 that has a removable head (Expand-It) for use with other tools. Didn't matter for me though.
The P20110VNM on DTO is closest to what I just described (and mine) and would be a huge improvement. It's more $ but it's so much better.
Considering the convenience of cordless power, lack of any maintenance, and the fact that the tools themselves are pretty quiet.... they are a better fit for me than gas stuff around here. I'm not sure how the extra power for a string trimmer or blower would provide any benefit to me, but YMMV based on your property obviously.
Let them continue to think "blemished" actually means anything negative while they run back to HD to return a battery and charger to save a few $ and feel proud they "hacked the deal". People are weird.

I ordered a few times from them. One of them took close to a month. The last one with the cordless saw took less that a week. It's hard to tell the times it takes for the shipping.
Usually if they have a big sale it'll take weeks.
What justified SD artificially pumping TU's into this thread and moving it to the front page (with a "fire" symbol to boot)?
Is it a paid promotion from DTO? If so that should be disclosed...
These "weekly" DTO promotions are all getting pushed front page and each one gets more lackluster than the one before it.

There are a few listed. Even better if you live near one and can save on shipping.
