I have been using Stihl products since '81 and have been very satisfied. Currently have the FS80, FS85, FS90 & FS100 weed trimmers.. The 180 & 250 chainsaws along with a 12' polesaw. We have a local small engine store that sell & service Stihl & Echo and they are both good machines. I shy away from Big Box store brands only because of service issues. Whatever you buy, please be sure to treat the fuel with Stabil!!! Also, some engines like certain oils(FS100- Echo oil prolongs life). One other thing- use the shorter bar per engine size & you will be happier...du
