Great trimmer after initial carb adjustments September 19, 2008
My old 7.5lb Homelite sx-134 finally gave out after 15 years trouble free service. I took a couple of weeks to read specifications and customer feedbacks of as many line trimmers (including Homelite) as possible prior to purchase. Some had mostly negative feedbacks, some had mixed negative & positive, none had all positive reviews. I decided upon the PP125 because it had the most positive feedbacks.
Received the item on 17 Sept. The box was delivered with one side crushed somewhat, thankfully, there was no damage or missing parts. I followed the manual for startup. It was very easy pulling the rope and it started on the 3rd pull. I waited about 15 seconds and momentarily powered up to take it out of start mode into the run mode. I then tried gradually powered up, but the engine bogged down and almost stops. Tried it couple more times with the same bogging down effect. I had previously read the feedbacks (William B. Ramsey & Richard Samford) stating they had the same problem, I had hoped I would not have the same problem. I did however. The nearest repair center is 50 miles away (1 way). Thanks to William Ramsey, I also had blue electrical crimp connectors with the slightly flared ends that fit nicely onto the adjustment screws in order to make carburetor adjustments. It was such a tight fit I could only adjust one screw at a time with one connector. It took me about 10 minutes to correct the problem. It now revs up to full power nicely. The factory adjustments must have been made on top of Mt. Everest.
I like the idea that the trimmer head does not turn while in idle, you have to power up with the speed trigger to get it going. I can set it down momentarily and my pet will not get into it. It only got 4 stars from me because 1) carburetor adjustment out of whack and 2) 13lb weight. It will take more time to evaluate long term usage.
Great product - but poorly tuned from the factory September 16, 2008

Received my PP125 yesterday (9/15/2008) from Amazon and it had exactly the same problem as reviewer Richard Samford - press down on the throttle and the engine bogs down and stops running. I was very disappointed since the unit will only operate at slightly above idle speed - which is unusable.
The trimmer could not be returned to Amazon (it's gas) so I decided to re-adjust the carburetor myself to resolve the problem. Upon inspection, I noted the carb adjustment screws are of the tamper proof kind and a special tool is required to make adjustments. Undaunted, I found a pair of blue electrical crimp connectors that slipped nicely over the carburetor adjustments screws. Within 5 minutes, I had my PP125 Trimmer running smoother than a top... nice acceleration from idle, good power at high speed, and starts reliablely.
Delivery was on-time and setup was easy. Unit appears well constructed. Since this was a new out of the box trimmer, I'll give it only 4 stars because it required a tune-up to get the unit to function properly.
 Great product-------- August 29, 2008
This unit was ALL it was claimed to be. A Workhorse, yet so easy
to use. Thanks----Brian
Poulan brand wins every time August 13, 2008

I have now had my Poulan trimmer for about 6 months. I have no major complaints about it at all. I really like the straight shaft design because i believe that it consumes less power than the bent shaft models. Plus, in about 10 seconds you can detach it and put on another attachment. I would highly suggest getting the brush cutting attachment. Even if you aren't planning on cutting brush, it is great for trimming trees, and larger weeds. It also comes with a shoulder strap and a much larger handle which i think the trimmer needs anyways. I do wish it had a little more power, but for the size and weight of the trimmer, it can't be beat. Starts and runs well every time. I also have a Poulan chain saw that runs and performs great. Will stick with this brand in the future.
Easy, powerful, reliable August 12, 2008

Just read the instructions, it's easy to assemble, put some gas and just start it, it works as a charm. It is really powerful and can cut some significant weeds. I recommend the brush cutter for more serious work otherwise the string is not going to last long. The brush cutter extension comes with a second handle and a shoulder strap that does not come standard with the trimmer.
The machine has a reasonable weight and allows anyone to use it even for extended periods of time.
