Stihl Kombi System

Well I'm finally tired of my TroyBilt trimmer leaking gas all over my shoulder. It's also my edger. Looking at the Stihl Kombi series since it uses the same head/engine for both trimming and edging. Does anyone here own one? What's been your experience with it?
Thanks.
Thanks.

I have a KM90 with weedeater, blower, pole saw, and weed blade. Super badass machine. No complaints. You really dont save much money because the attachments are expensive but its convenient.

Yes, me.
Love it. String trimmer, edger and hedge trimmer. Get your shoulders in shape if you're going to use that bad arse hedge deal.

I like mine. Going on 4+ years and it cranks on the 2nd pull every time.
Weedeater, edger, and pole saw.
Been wanting the hedge trimmer for a while...

I've been running it for almost five years now.
Trimmer, edger, and cultivator attachments. Rock solid on all fronts and plenty of power.

Thanks guys.
I see two different models...a residential version and a commercial version. Typically the commercial might be a little more heavy duty..but what is not clear from the Stihl site is if the commercial attachments are compatible with the residential motor head.
Also...do you use TruFuel or do you prefer the Stihl premix or what's your choice in that?

I have a KM55R and KM56RC with the straight-shaft trimmer and edger attachments. The 55R I've had since 2010 and has been flawless, the 56RC was a gift and definitely has more power but is being saved as a back-up power head. Good routine maintenance and it will probably be quite a few years before I'll have to buy anything else.

Echo builds a quality system like the kombi also, take a look at it

I have the 110 power head with trimmer and pole saw. Extremely easy to crank and works perfect.
I want to get the edger unit next, which is preferable, straight or curved shaft?

Yup
Have the pole saw, steel head trimmer, cultivator and blower. All work great.

The convenience of having one power head to maintain versus having 3-4 to maintain is he big advantage. The stuff is the best around but make sure that you have your attachments fully inserted so you don’t strip the tip of the driveshaft
