Anecdotes everywhere.

A friend of mine spends an hour or two rebuilding or cleaning his gas lawnmower every year. Another friend had a brand new one fail the first time he fired it up. Meanwhile my Ego has gone several years with literally zero maintenance other than five minute blade sharpening.

My dad's gas trimmer was constantly unreliable and never easy to start. My Ego trimmer once again has been fine for several years without any maintenance other than winding the string.
