We looked for a long time before deciding on the Craftsman 8.5 HP model. For the price and hp it was the best buy. It is also all metal. My experienced opinon is it sucks. It sucks even for small straight branches. Someone on this board a while back mentioned it is like sharpening pencils all day long. Yeap. It also was so dusty it gave me an asthma attack. Used it once and it has been in my shed for 2 years since. trying to sell it now. Only thing it is good for is a very light load of thin straight branches once in a while, aka a suburban yard.
