My $68.00 weedeater from Walmart finally bit the dust after 3 years. No complaints other than now I need something bigger. Would like to have a Stihl but donโt want to pay $200-300 for one. Any suggestions??? Thanks.

Go with the Stihl, you won't regret it. I have had mine for 15 years and it still starts on the first pull. Plenty of power to run a cut off blade too.

I have an echo.
Choke on, pull twice, choke off pull once and it goes....
If not in that order, it is hard to start.
I like this better all the others I have owned. Never had a stihl though.

Bought a Stihl KM56 series a few years ago, so I can use attachments on it. It's been fantastic. Though I did buy a Ryobi backpack sprayer today. Ryobi reviews on most their stuff has been solid.

I would get a Stihl for a few reasons. First, you will actually save a bunch of money in the long run. Also, it will make the job easier, faster and give you better results. Straight shaft is the way to go, it will be a trimmer and an edger. Curved shafts are for... well, you know.

Echo makes a good product. If 2 stroke use non- ethanol gas.
