I bought this trimmer to replace my 5-yr old DR 5hp electric start trimmer which now refuses to start. (I can probably fix it, but don't have time right now). The manual start Swisher starts easily, does just as good a job as my DR (long grass and weeds); the cords are much easier to replace and don't pull out. Best of all, it cost a lot less. I did not buy electric start because the tiny battery on my DR quit after six months and costs far too much to replace. So I am pleased with my purchase, and would not go back to DR. (I don't need any of the optional extras that DR offer).
