Anton:

“I’ve been using the trimmer for 5 years and have no complaints. Assembled and launched according to the instructions. I used a fuel mixture of 1:50. I didn’t find any significant shortcomings, so I won’t talk about minor ones. I advise anyone who is not familiar with equipment not to try to repair it themselves.”

Konstantin:

“After 5 minutes the engine started to stall and would not start again. We sent it to the service center, but they said that the piston group was not subject to warranty and billed us 1,700 rubles. We carried out the launch according to the rules, so there are no shortcomings on our part.”

Konstantin K. ★★★★
Advantages:
Price, power, high-quality assembly.
Disadvantages:
Fragility of materials.
Breakage during assembly. Comment:
Everything looks beautiful, the assembly is pleasing, the parts fit very well. The rod is aluminum, but thick and strong. The plastic of the casing is flexible and strong. The handles don't look like they'll last long - they're too thin and the bracket for attaching them to the bar doesn't inspire confidence. The engine crankcase and clutch cover (the rod is inserted into it) are made of very raw duralumin. When connecting the rod to the lid during tightening, the ear of the clamp was torn off. This ailment can be treated by replacing the lid with a new one (about a thousand rubles) or using traditional methods (search on the forums). I repaired a broken clamp by placing another clamp on top of it. Do not take a clamp with holes - it will break. I took a high-strength clamp for some super pipes and drilled a hole in it for a locking screw for the rod. A very powerful device. A plot of 10 acres, overgrown with young willow and raspberries, fell out in a few hours. I tried not to cut down particularly large trees, but I did cut down several 5 cm in diameter... Easy... But not recommended. The weight of the device and the belt did not cause any inconvenience. My weight is 70 kg - nothing hurts or stiffness. The main thing is to regulate everything carefully. I want to lengthen the left handle - it will be more convenient. The air filter came apart due to shaking - everything needs to be tightened everywhere. Bottom line. China. Powerful, cheap but fragile. Be careful. Buy at a discount

Trimmer Carver GBC-052M reviews

Alexey Ch. ★ Advantages:
power, mows any grass at half throttle.
Disadvantages:
broke after 4 starts.
Gasoline was coming out of the exhaust and would not start. I returned it under warranty and got my money back. Comment:
the assembly is not bad, not particularly heavy, but the buttons are a bit tight, and after several hours of use my hand becomes numb.
Dmitry M. ★★★★★ Advantages:
Powerful, convenient, brush cutter, Chinese.
Easy to start, amazing disc, head with easy line winding. Big beautiful. Very spacious tank. Minimum vibrations, soft ergonomic handles. All fasteners are quite reliable. Disadvantages:
In the kit they put the right handle tube not at 19 mm but at 22. I didn’t like the trigger handle, it would be better if there was a simple switch.
Comment:
Bought in August 2016.
Looks like I checked the package. 2 boxes are convenient to carry. The handle is from Husqvarna, since the original one on the right did not fit. I liked the plastic, the assembly too, nothing was loose, everything was strong and reliable. The engine starts easily. This is my 4th mower. The backpack belt is very good, better than Husqvarnov's. The load is almost not felt. A very convenient red flag for quick release. The scythe is very powerful, the pleasant sound does not hurt the ears like my Husqvarnas (one with a gearbox, the other a curved rod). The line does not get stuck in almost any grass. Nothing gets wound up. There are no vibrations at all compared to Husqvarna. True, the original head is not balanced, you can feel it. It’s a little difficult to open the lid, lengthen the fishing line, wind it, although I lubricated the inside several times and removed the flash on the seams with a knife. The head from Husqvarna fits perfectly (10x1.25 left) The gearbox was noisy at first, I added lubricant 2 times, the first after purchase, the second at the beginning of this season. Champion EP0 lubricant. The gearbox does not heat up. The clutch is warm in operation, the mower body is warm, the hand is patient. I worked 3 tanks maximum without a break, I was tired. More likely not physically, but from the monotony. The kit included a bunch of tools, a jar for the mixture. I didn’t like the casing, maybe I’ll get one from Husqvarna, the original casing is bulky, an additional belt for the grass, thin plastic, clings to the grass land. I didn’t want to earn money, but they asked convincingly, and after spending 5 tanks, I earned 3,500 rubles in 3 evenings, I had already paid off half of the money for the purchase. I wouldn’t have bothered with a lighter scythe. Today I took out Husqvarna, put the knife down, went through two mowings, and put it away. I finished with Carver with pleasure. The design is simple, there are a lot of spare parts, I know how to repair, how to set up. The fuel line began to leak. The tubes began to crack. Something will think. A new fuel line assembly with a filter costs 94 rubles. I prepare the mixture with premium gasolines such as Ecto, G Drive, etc. Oil Calm HP Ultra. There is practically no soot, soot, smoke or smell. Proportion 1:50. Sergey Vasin ★ Advantages:
Quick start, availability of spare parts for repairs, power.
Disadvantages:
Rapid engine overheating.
Comment:
I changed the CPG (pistons + cylinders) three times in two summers. I used a disc to mow an abandoned area of ​​6 acres with small bushes. CPG failure after 20 minutes of intensive work (the tank was not completely depleted). Whether this is due to high speeds or poor cooling, I don’t know. The mixture was prepared for 1:50. I have experience working with trimmers. Buy at a discount

Trimmer Carver GBC-026 reviews

Alexander ★ Advantages:
Over 2 seasons, I mowed a plot of 12 acres 5 times.
No more than 6-8 hours of work each summer. It seems like a little work, but the gas trimmer constantly breaks down and requires maintenance. Disadvantages:
The plastic throttle switch is broken.
Weak plastic in the trimmer handle. I took it to the service center on Proshlyakova 6, building 1a. The plastic switch was replaced under warranty. They issued a bill for 1,500 rubles for adjusting the carburetor. The repairs took 3 months. This summer, 4 screws that secure the starter cover came out. I tightened the screws and tightened the rest. Comment:
Don't buy. Add money and buy a good gas trimmer. Well-known manufacturer. Where: 1) cheap plastic does not break; 2) the warranty workshop does not delay repairs and poor service. 3) after each use, something breaks and falls off. An hour of work equals 4 hours of service. Buy at a discount
