I've had two of them, one eight inch that I ran for six yrs. no problems, sold it for almost enough to buy a 10 inch which I did. Love it it cuts great and starts every time. I put a little stable in the gas at the end of the season and it starts quickly the next yr. As far as blades go, running a knife hone over the blades will extend the life and after you have bought a new blade, send the old one as well as the new one, after it gets dull back to strike master and they will re-sharpen then for a reasonable fee. Check the info that came with the unit and it will give you the proper info for re-sharpening. Love the unit. thefishnut
