The review from johnathan Bingham stated that McLane corrected the plastic part issue. Is this statement true and accurate?

The one I received has a metal connector, but it is not really necessary as there is a manual throttle control built on the Briggs. I have never needed much more than just above idle engine speed for the edger to perform well, and my neighbors part of the sidewalk was terrible when I first started edging

I believe so, it's definitely not plastic. It's a bit odd to install the battery, but for the price I've really like these calipers.

The comment about the plastic transmission cover is quite true. I have replaced numerous plastic covers with the heavy duty aluminum cover. None of the users said the grinder was the fault for the failure. Long run times over 20 minutes and repeated use of the dough hook was the culprit over 90% of the time.

I don't think so ... The one I got said it was the new part, but was the same the old one. I reinforced with epoxy.

The plastic has a useful life. If your new one cracked right away, it may be defective and I would return it. Mine is holding up well.

After I installed it, I did not see any change in clearance or anything blocking the way for the spare to drop. Don't cut the second plastic guard until you test fit the guard in place. The instructions, lead you to cut off a both/screw point that did not need to be cut.

Glen, It's not perfect but once it's on, it looks fine. I'm very satisfied. Good luck. John.

Unusual problem. I have many of these and they all worked well. I had to trim all the excess plastic off the sides with a very sharp knife though but then everything fit perfectly. If it doesn't fit then sounds like a mismatch of parts and you should return to supplier for a replacement.

yes ; I did get a new plastic refractor with the kit. The base and plastic were not interchangeable I did have to put different holes and screws through the metal base, ( which was easy) because the number of screw holes or the diameter was not the same. You will never beat this price (or even come close) by getting in your car and going to outlet stores. The best store I found had a 900% markup.

See my Feb 2014 review "Inexpensive fix for front axle breakage". No reason you couldn't do that fix before the metal bracket cuts through the plastic pin. On the other hand, why do it before you have to. With some care, you should be able to drill small hole in axle with hand drill and put in brass screws. For me, it was worth $15 to have shop get it all centered and perpendicular. Mine now works better than when new, but we'll see how long it lasts. I don't see any wear on metal bracket or brass screw yet, so hopeful. KC

I have only used the Briggs & Stratton, and have no complaints with it.Any plastic can is subject to warping from expansion/contraction due to weather conditions, especially if you store it somewhere not so climate controlled. The bottom of mine is no longer perfectly flat. This aggravates a brittle friend of mine, and he buys only metal gas cans - for a substantial amount more than the cost of a plastic can. I reiterate that a plastic can of any brand has this flaw, and I remain satisfied with the one I ordered. If you're storing large quantities, long term, it may be worthwhile to pay up for a metal can, but if you're just keeping a couple of gallons seasonally, this one is fine.

I have had the same wovel since 2010 and the only problem I've had that a couple of the bolts on the handle broke. The plastic parts are all like new despite very heavy use.

My general belief is you get what you pay for. I am guessing the difference may be the quality - strength of the magnet closure and quality of plastic. The oe I put on is working great and doing everything I thought it would.

Hi,It is still except the part where the motor is which is plastic. But the part that blends is metal. Hope this help.

What's funny is that what the Neato rep. said isn't even necessarily true in all cases. Early tear-downs of the latest XV-21's that were made with the latest manufacturing process have shown differences from the XV-11's that originally launched. Things like improved wheel spring designs, upgraded body moldings and some very slight improvements in the logic board design of the system. None of these are anything they would document but it's stuff that's been appearing in the latest robots. I think they're definitely ironing out the manufacturing issues that were occurring with the original unit's that were shipped out.

It's been awhile, but if I remember correctly it was all plastic, (the engagement dogs that contact the flywheel cup that's included) I'd rather have all metal also, but it did function well, so I installed it and hope it lasts......
