Customer Reviews

1st Review for Poulan Pro PP-133
First off, to Amazon who always has an excellence service as usual (at least to me). Thank Amazon, the tools arrived 1 day before your scheduled. After inspected, the condition of box are undamaged, and yes the trimmer (and edging attachment) are new... That's all I needed so far.
The trimmer, it looks bigger and heavier than my old one. My old one is a 25cc Weed-Eater which's died after 3yrs of service.
After 3 easy pulls for the first time, the engine start to run right away. What's surprised me is the head spool is ONLY rotate (slowly to high) when you press the throttle control switch. This is a BIG point of safety feature and convenience if you want to replace the trimmer line without shut off the engine.
Replacing the trimmer line (18" long) is only taken few seconds, a very nice design. This is the only reason that make me chose this model over the PP-125 (not because of 33cc engine).
So what is my impression during the job? Well, it's just like... I got a sharper knife. Stronger engine and a bigger trimmer line, you have to try it to feel it! I only press half way of the throttle control switch and is enough power to do the job.
Oh, about the trimmer line, it came with about 6 extras in the box so you don't have to worry about buying the replacement lines box right away.
I haven't try the edging attachment tool yet, but I will put it in a separate review.
In conclusion, for the price and its features, this trimmer is Highly-Recommended. This is not the first time I use the Poulan Pro product. My blower, which is still running since Summer 2005 and require only 1 pull to start. What's I hope to this trimmer in future is make its lighter and a 4cyc engine to eliminate the "oil mix" feature.

Great versatile system, but high vibrations.
The trimmer has plenty of power for even heavy weeds. Half throttle is more than enough for average jobs. I flooded the engine the first time due to my standard practice of not reading an instruction manual. But it has cranked on the first or second pull since then. The edger attachment works great and I plan on getting all the attachment for the system and just have this to do everything but mow the grass. The only thing that keeps me from giving 5 stars is the trimmer vibrates so hard my hands were numb for a couple of hours after I finished. Also, the shoulder strap and handle bar that comes with the brush cutter attachment should come with the trimmer, not an attachment. The unit does get heavy if you have a large area to work, but with the shoulder strap its a breeze.

Great Trimmer!

Assembly -

Assembly was a breeze. I had already purchased a gas can and some 40:1 oil mix in anticipation of the trimmers delivery, but found that the trimmer actually came with (1) container of oil mix as well. All there was to do was attach the upper and lower halves of the trimmer together with literally a snap, and put the guard on. I was ready to go within 5 minutes.

First Start -

After the trimmer was together and filled with gas, I primed it, put it on "start", and proceeded to pull start it. It fired up right away, but I think I got a little over-zealous in trying to put it to run too fast. When you first fire this thing up out of the box, let it run on start for 30 seconds to a minute. You shouldn't really have to do this again, but it's just to let the gas get everywhere it needs to be, and to break the system in a little bit. Once it was warmed up, I let her rip.

Operation -

This is ENTIRELY too much engine for a trimmer, but that's what I love about it! I'd rather have too much power than not enough. As a previous reviewer stated, it's a little heavy, but not as heavy as he made it sound. It's very managable. The string is very easy to replace and it comes with a few replacement strands to get you started. It doesn't have that "tap-feed" system that other trimmers have, and I like that. I've yet to see the "tap-feed" system work correctly on other trimmers.

Summary -

This is a GREAT trimmer for the money. I haven't had any problems with it yet, other than putting a small hole in my siding due to me ripping on the throttle while too close to the house. I'd recommend this to other potential buyers.
