hence would like to return the product.
I use it often and it is not too heavy, but does a great job!
Tiene un motor potente, corto césped muy alto y algo de maleza con absoluta facilidad.
El único inconveniente que le encontré fue que el carrete que trae tiene muy poco hilo, así que les recomiendo comprar el paquete de 3 u otros.
