In my limited experience, if you have a dual line trimmer, return it or
sell it in a garage sale. I HATED mine. I now have a single line B&D
that works well. Also, if you rewind your own line from bulk, do not
wind it tightly.

I used to have a Ryobi with a bump head to let line out. It worked
just fine, but basically after 5 years of heavy use the engine
died. I now use an Echo, with a manual feed line dispenser.
Just got done with the first use of it this year, about 2 hours
worth. It started on the second pull, and worked (as usual)
without a hitch. I had to let out line once during the session.
I use the heavy gauge star line, it holds up well even against
stone walls and around fence posts, or in brambles for that
matter.

These are both dual line machines, and I've never had a problem,
although there is the occasional headache of loading the head.

The Echo is certainly a very fine machine, and powerful too. I
sometimes use the blade for heavy brush cutting, but not often.
