After reading all of these comments I wonder how many actually read their manuals. After four tanks of gas, take in for carb adjustment. I did and after four years finally had to replace fuel lines and filter. Easy to do myself.  Read any reviews on any make blower trimmer week eater and you will see the same issues as here. Don't use ethanol fuel and drain the gas before putting it up for the winter. Youtube will show you how to adjust carb without buying a tool.
