Yes
I bought one - after filling with oil and petrol started fine but noisy. On second go at starting the recoil pull cord stuck and would not go back in. The helpline number in the instruction book said take it back to the store. The store said I had to empty the petrol. The machine weighs 46 kg and with 14 l of petrol its nearer 60kg. Am still battling to get someone out to look at it
