I was very please with my purchase. The clerk was very helpful and even offered to load it into my car. I bought a battery operated Makita string trimmer & blower combo. I had to assemble both pieces of equipment but the instructions were pretty easy to follow. Both items preformed well upon first use. I am 72 yrs. old and female, so it was nice not to have to yank that cord on the gas trimmer I already own, plus they are much lighter to use. I just wish they came with a second battery.

Trimmer is underpowered. Advertised as having the same power...
Trimmer is underpowered. Advertised as having the same power as a 25cc engine, I was replacing a trimmer with a 25cc engine and this didn't come close. Safety features kick in too soon. Can't go 20ft before the motor overheat protection shuts it down. The blower is great, more than enough power. I ended up returning the set and getting a gas trimmer.
