This is my first gas trimmer. I and my wife previously used a battery powered trimmer that was only capable of trimming small branches. This caused our shrubs to grow larger and larger every year and got impossible to cut back to a reasonable size because the branches had got too thick for our battery trimmer. After I got this gas trimmer, I attacked the overgrown shrubs and wacked them back down to size. The trimmer feels a tad heavier than I expected but is manageable for an old seventy two year old man. My wife is afraid to use it but probably could if she really wanted to. It is easy to start. I thought it would cut through thicker branches easier than it does. It does have its limits as to how thick a branch it will cut after all it is not a chain saw. I would recommend it to anyone for home owner use. Not sure how it would stand up to every day commercial use but it probably could if it were used and maintained properly.

The unit is a lightweight option suitable for lite hedge trimming. Not anything thick or remotely thick. I have over 100 ft of hedging. The aluminium main bracket at engine snapped in two. Just plain weak. I'm upgrading to top of the line husky trimmer.

So many bad reviews, so many issues with cutting out, so many issues with the dang thing not running more than 15 minutes, so much negative feedback and little or response. I have an issue that the fuel is getting to the carburetor. It appears that the fuel line into the tank is not staying below the level of the gas. When I look into the gas tank, there are many other parts inside than what are listed on your spare parts page. I cannot tell if the fuel line in the tank has broken or become disconnected to other parts in the tank. YOU PARTS DIAGRAM IS INCOMPLETE. It is of little or no help for this issue. When can I expect a revised diagram for all the lines in the tank? This is not good customer support.

Like many other reviews, mine was garbage the second time I used it. The first time I used it, I was so happy with my purchase because it was a significant upgrade from my electric trimmer. Later that summer when I used it the second time, it would stall every time I pushed the trigger. I paid $80 to have it fixed, used it once and it was fine. Again, the second time I used it I had the same problem. I've tried everything I can think of and get no results from this trimmer. I bought based on brand name, but will never purchase a Husqvarna product again. I now have what I consider to be a pile of expensive junk that I cannot use.

I use this product for hedge trimming and at first it was great since then I have returned to the dealer 3 times and it come back working fine for about 30 minutes but starts bogging down and if you turn it up to trim vertical it dies every time

I purchased this trimmer (122hd60) a month or two ago for my small landscaping business. I needed a gasoline trimmer and this was the one recommended by my local dealer. The dealer was very nice and even started it up in the back to make sure it worked before giving it to me. The unit seems fairly powerful and is enough to cut anything I need (shrubs, bushes, etc). The starting process is simple and easy, and the unit starts without too much trouble. It does bog a lot when cold, but it will pull through and reach rpm once warmer. As far as durability, it has held up well so far, but there is a significant amount of plastic that could break eventually... Will have to see. Overall, it is a good unit and a good alternative to Echo's HC152 or Stihl's HS45. For about the same price, this model comes with the longest knife length out of the three brands.

Nothing but problems since I purchased the 122HD60 2 years ago. My hedge trimmer looks like it's 2 weeks old and performs like it's 20 years old. The carburetor on this machine is nothing but trouble no matter how many adjustments are made. I have a Husqvarna pole saw and backpack blower that are as dependable as any machine could be. But the 122HD60 has given me pause about purchasing Husqvarna again since I have never been able to use it for more than 15 minutes without having trouble. Now the pull-cord recoil is not working properly... of course I'm not surprised since I have to restart every two minutes! NOT FAN OF THE HUSQVARNA 122HD50 and don't recommend it at all!

Trimmer purchased over a year ago and it originally started and ran for a couple trimmings. I used in early Spring (2015) and had difficulty in starting, but it finally did start and I trimmed my bushes and hedge. I cleaned clipping residue off of trimmer and placed in garden shed once all my trimming was finished. Took out again for fall trimming of bushes and hedge and it would not start. I had used all the fuel at the time of last trimming, so I believe contaminated fuel was not an issue. I refilled the tank with fresh Husqvarna fuel as I have used only the Husqvarna fuel since the time I purchased the trimmer. The fuel was an added free incentive that came with the trimmer. I took out the spark plug, checked the gap and followed procedure to start, but it still does not start. My only alternative is to take it back to where I purchased it (Sevierville COOP) and have technician try to find the problem. I would have thought I would not have such a problem, being as new and well kept when not in use that this trimmer has turned out to be .

First let me say that I own a husqvarna gas trimmer and gas edger and haven't had any issues with either. This has been the biggest disappointment i've ever had in a gas powered machine I have ever purchased...it won't start twice...even when it was just used 5 minutes earlier when I do occasionally get it started. I've paid to have it serviced multiple times to get it started at different "Husqvarna service centers" and last time I asked them to start it before I took it home and they had problems starting it. If you buy this, you'll just be wasting your money! Wish I could list some pros but it would have to start first.
