I rented a Billygoat lawn vacuum yesterday. The assistant working there had trouble starting it. He…read morefinally got it working and the sales staff had me meet the assistant in the yard. He showed me how to run it , telling me that if I had trouble starting it, I should hold the choke while pulling the starter cord. We did that and it started. I took it home and couldn't start it without choking it. I couldn't reach the choke while pulling the cord so had to use a twist tie on the choke while pulling the cord. The collection bag leaked badly, half of the leaves escaped. The gas task was only 1/3 full. The height adjustment was rusted and very hard to adjust. The pull start cord wasn't recoiling properly and needed coaxing. The nozzle and hose attachment (for vacuuming in flowerbeds) was missing (even though I called beforehand and was told it was there). Waste of time and money. All they did was give me a 25% discount. Very poor maintenance.

I needed more power, and with that I called these guys to rent a generator for a weekend (yes, for the Yelp RV). I told them what I needed and thought that it was all pretty clear. Until I went to pick up. When I arrived, I had to force myself to open the door to the dirty, dingy and smelly mechanic shop with a coffee station that gave me the heebie jeebies just looking at it. Shudder. Me, obviously out of place, wearing street clothes with clean hands, said I was there to pick up an order I had made over the phone. The problem - they didn't have what I ordered because either A) I had ordered from the wrong store or B) I had ordered the wrong sized generator. Hmmmm... well, I know for a fact that I was supposed to pick it up from this location, since I didn't know there was another one until that moment and since I told THEM to tell me what I needed on the phone meaning, it would be pretty difficult for me to order the wrong size. After a few minutes of phone calls and some head scratching the crisis was averted. Soon, I was loaded up (appreciation for the help with getting this into my car) with a much bigger generator than I had ordered,but at least they charged me the price of the smaller one. The thing was heavy and huge, dirty and filled with rocks that left marks all over my trunk. But none of that bothers me more than the lasting smell of gas in my car that reminds me of that grubby place. Yick!

The staff is very friendly and accommodating and the equipment is well-maintained, clean and in great shape. I rented some heavy duty garden equipment to rip up my yard and start from scratch. While I was dropping off and paying for my rental, a guy walked in off the street and asked if he could rent a hand tool for some plumbing work he was doing, he brought his pipe with him and asked if they had a walk-in rate. The guy at the counter handed him the tool, he did his thing right there in the front of the store and handed it back. He charged him a tiny fraction of the hourly rental rate. I highly recommend these guys. Not sure about the other locations but the place on Venables is top notch.

Took it back and got a different one. It didn't work. I ended up going to Hardware Sales to rent a working carpet cleaner because by that time BE was closed . Birch Equip agreed to rent an aerator at 50% off for the inconvenience. I picked up the aerator today, paid $67 ( which was 50%off), got the aerator to my home and discovered the screw that adjusts the tines height was broken. I phoned BE and they said the adjuster was not an integral part of the working apparatus. He also reiterated I was renting it for 50% off. The RPM adjuster also was not working properly since it kept highly revving by itself while not being actively operated. I will take it back tomorrow, request a refund and take my businesssomewhete else.

I've worked with birch for years on a professional level. Which wasn't too bad. But a couple months ago, I needed scaffolding for a personal project and there wasn't any readily available for sale so I figured I would try birch. I ended up using the scaffolding for 9 weeks and 3 days. I ended up paying nearly TWICE as much as it costs to buy scaffolding new. They also tried to charge me a couple hundred more because they raised prices on the scaffolding rentals as well, but they never informed me of that until I went to pay the final balance. They did adjust the final balance minus the increase I was never told about, but were pretty reluctant to do so. I will never rent from this place again on a personal or professional level. I understand they want to make money, but they are charging enough to pay off the equipment they rent out in a matter of weeks. That's absolutely ridiculous. Can also note that this is simply scaffolding! Not mechanical equipment that requires any maintenance. And to top it off, once I started going into the 3rd month, I was behind a couple weeks on getting in to pay the current balance. It's summer season, I'm busy and they have very short hours and not open on weekends. Makes it hard to swing in sometimes. So they called me at the end of a workday and left me a message asking to take care of the balance. By the time I could call them back, they were already closed. The next morning, they called again and happened to catch me while I was able to answer. They literally told me I was lucky I answered my phone cuz they were about to report the equipment stolen. I've never had any rental company treat me like this. And I've rented an insane amount of stuff. Absolute garbage company .
