Home Depot Echo works great for residential use. Ive had mine for 2 years and it always starts easily.

Commercial = Red Max.

Stihl.

They just introduced a heavier home owner model for $199.

I have used the fs100 for two yrs and it still starts on the first pull.

Doesn't really matter. I would never own one, but for a small yard, you could get a plug in one.

If you want a 2-stroke, just get a cheaper Echo or Redmax

The absolute best trimmer ever made or will be made is made or will be made by Maruyama. Light, powerful and extremely reliable.

I have had a couple of stihls and they have both worked like a charm for nearly ten years...straight shaft is very heavy duty and curved shaft is lighter and easier to use...

fwiw, just be sure you find some non-ethanol gasoline to run in it and it will last a long time...

My Echo is 18 yrs old...never missed a lick and used hard on a 2-acre yard and some rental properties. It has even survived the Mexican help.

Only repair ever done was fuel line replacement. I think it still has the original spark plug now that I think about it.

I have a friend that does yard work and landscaping for a living and he swears by Shindaiwa.
