Last night I ordered these.
The 4TB SSD is the least expensive I have seen lately & I wanted another 4TB BU SSD.
I prefer the MiniPro for a enclosure for the SSD.

Hows the weight and power compared to a 2-stroke engine?

It's about 27 pounds total weight. I'm not sure how much heavier it is compared to a 2-stroke engine.

I might buy this one again, though. It came with a part broken off. Amazon wouldn't take a return. Instead, they refunded me the total price and told me I could throw it away. I used it Saturday. It works well, but I'm hoping a squirrel doesn't get sucked into the intake because the part that broke off protected the intake! :ROFLMAO:

Can the part be replaced? I buy a lot of mower parts online from a couple of different vendors. If you want, give me the brand and model # and I'll see if I can find the part. I don't need the serial #.

Edit: I just looked up the brand name and didn't find much. This company must be to new in the US. Probably why Amazon said keep it.

If you decide to buy another one, go with a company that you can get parts for if needed.

I ordered a new Logitech K270 unifying keyboard to go with my new unifying mouse. I was using the keyboard that also came with a mouse. The mouse died so I bought a new one from Walmart. To my surprise I found out that even though the mouse and keyboard worked with the same receiver, they weren't unifying. I'll use the old keyboard to replace the wired keyboard on my old desktop. I'm very confused of why Logitech would release two versions of the same keyboard.

Oops. I meant to say I wouldn't buy this again. All the good reviews were from Vine Reviewers and received it for free.

With Amazon refunding your money it's definitely worth the price.

Is it the snorkel that broke? JB Weld might be an option to repair it. One way or another, enjoy using it until it dies.

I'm surprised that Google finds very little about this company. I repair all my lawnmowers and small engines myself. The only two yard tools that I bought that I doubt I could fix is my Greenworks 40V electric self propelled lawn mower (purchased from Amazon) and my Hart 40V electric string trimmer (purchased from Walmart).

Edit: Giving it more thought, I could replace the electric motor If I can buy it.

There's this plastic grill that goes around the intake fan. Part of that is broken off. If I wasn't so lazy, I'd take a picture and attach it here.

I thought of trying to Gorilla glue it, but there aren't enough contact points for it to affix firmly. Other than that, the unit works well. It does eat gas, but that's normal from what I understand for four-stroke blowers.

If the broken part won't be a concern of causing injury I wouldn't worry about it. If it is a concern, is there a way to use some wire mesh to cover it. A 2-stroke engine should burn more gas than A 4-stroke engine with the same horse power. A 2-stroke engine can be smaller and lighter while still giving the same horse power.

Hey, JV.

If necessary to replace, I suggest having a look at either Echo or Stihl.

Hard to go wrong with either. :wink:

I have to Echo GT225 trimmers. One for home and one for work. The one I have at home I replaced the trimmer head with an adapter that uses metal blades. I use it to keep the phragmites at the end of my backyard trimmed back. Even though they both have some age to them they still start easy. I also use the premixed gas that doesn't contain any ethanol.

I'm an Echo fan myself. Winuser.

Trimmers/backpacks and one chainsaw (small trim saw) are Echo. A couple large saws are Stihl. Never an issue with any of them. I too, run non ethanol premix. I think a lot of people are unaware that gasoline containing ethanol, is not a good idea in small engines. It's damaging to the fuel lines and carb, and will likely shorten the useful life overall.
