Do you feel you get good value or does it burn through the tanks in a hurry and you have to constantly be sinking money into it to buy more tanks?

At first I seemed to run through the tanks kinda quickly... got about 90 minutes of flame from them. But, and it takes a little practice, I've been able to lower the flame, get the same results and get about 2.5 hours off of a tank. That's a lot of weeds to burn. Plus, tanks are $4-5 at Ace Hardware.Note: this isn't for clearing huge swaths of weeds. It's a spot treatment. It's really good for getting weeds out of the cracks between sidewalk and pavement and the weeds growing through bricks. I've got a bad back and any reason to not have to stoop over and pull weeds is a good one. But if you're looking to take out large areas of weeds, you'll really want to look at a larger version.

I like it. It doesn't burn through tanks as fast, but it tends to go out and then you have to relight it if you don't hold it just right.

I don't gave any trouble with how fast I go thru the small tanks. If the rank gets icy that means you have it on too high. I love mine!

I think you get about a hour of burn time out of a tank it. the value is there you don't have to spend time on your knees or money on weed killer the dragon makes the job quick and easy and fun you will volunteer to do your neighbors the tank can last you weeks

Depends on how much you use it. My gripe with it is the shut off valve doesn't work and I have to stick the end in the dirt to shut it off and then unscrew the tank. Would I get this brand again? No.

I was not impressed with the small version. I also have the bigger version and I like that. This one however, no. There is just no ump to it. You are right about it burning through tanks. It just does't have the power the larger models do. I found it easier to hand weed than use this machine.

Just get one and try it out. I believe the tank will be more than good enough for your tank.

Ive had mine for 9 months now. in my opinion, the filter and lighting sucks for the price. the tank cleans up well and is still pretty but the filter has gotten so slow that it barely works anymore. The lighting still works as good as it did new but it is very dim.

It feels very durable. It feels like the bbody is constructed very well. I've had it for about 6 months, and it's still chugging away. It doesn't seem like it fills the tank any faster, but I did notice a pretty significant difference in pressure both through the tap and the through-the-door water in my refrigerator.

I noticed that it does go up and down a lot. Right after I bought mine for $49 it went up to $70 and then it went back down a couple days later.

Your going to run thru 3 gals . of air in a hurry. Get a larger tank or take a lot of breaks

It should be fine. If you have a heavily populated tank you might consider a larger unit or be prepared to empty the collection cup more frequently. I ran mine for over a year and a half before I upgraded to a bigger tank and never had a problem with it.

Frankly, I'm not sure, When it gets really low, however, I usually go get another. I know how you feel, though; it isn't cheap!

Could definitely keep up. I would recommend however to get a small reserve tank of about 10gallons with a recirc pump. Basically you get hot water direct from tank and them takagi refills IIT as you go. Very economical without having variations or time delay in water temp. I'm doing 2 of these in line this way for a 4000sq ft house right now in seattle area for a customer. Good luck.

No it does not. A tank will cost you an additional 30 dlrs and about 15 dlrs to fill it. Most uhaul places can fill it up.

It is a different value but it works as good or better than the value it replaced. It is easy to install except for connecting the water line. My toilet is in a space with very little room and I had to connect the line by feel. Adjusting the water level in the tank is easy; try it before you install the new value to learn how it works.

Yes, you do. However, I get great time and use from each tank and the oil is inexpensive. Very easy. I highly recommend this trimmer

I agree with the other poster here. I had an older B&D; model which fed great. Over so many years of use it finally came to an end. I purchased this one and the line does not seem to feed out as good as the old one. For that reason, it is not cutting or edging too good. I might look into a higher priced model or go with gas.

I use the same tank, no problem and the gun doesn't jam at all, just keep it clean after use, it works good, very reliable

The refills are expensive. I had this on my 30 and was eating them up. I ended up buying a co2 tank and regulator and it lasts for over a year for 20 bucks

My tank was a mess. I've only used it once so far and it is spotless. It's been about 2 months at least. I'm glad I bought it!

Yes, from personal experience! I'm about to place my fourth order for it. Occasionally I'll be tempted by other products, but they always fall short.
