I have this same brand and model trimmer for the last 6 yrs and it did well. However this last yr the on/off switch started to act up and finally it just quit altogether. I ordered this replacement hoping for the same service. But on the first try it fluttered with the same switch issue. Also the motor sounds a bit worn but maybe that's just my hearing. But it still runs for the most part so I will keep since it's so difficult to find stuff that will last now days. But if it quits the 1st year I won't buy another of this brand and model.
