I've wanted one of these ever since they came out. I finally picked one up today! Thanks for mentioning the $50 promo, I didn't know anything about that til your vid, wohoo! Another perk is, if you get their premix gas/oil ($30/gal, yikes, or a couple bottles of Stihl oil (6 of the 1 gal treat bottles at $2.49/ea or 2 of the 2.5 gal mix at $3.99/ea) it doubles the warranty from 2 years to 4. I got the 2 bottles for $8, pretty good for another 2 years warranty. They filled it full of gas and showed me how to operate it, went over the whole unit one end to the other. Definitely the Red Carpet treatment :) Kudo's to my local Nebraska Bomgaars!

Great job! Its a pass here due to Stihl not being able to fix the issue these develope at any moment. Two dealers told me they cant fix them permanently once it happens. Actually one jokingly said they get more back than Stihl ever sold...lol Intermittent issue Stihl hasnt tracked down. Customers post online they become hard/no start & some run a minute & quit? Stihl just throws carbs at them it, doesnt fix it, many folks had several shop visits. Other makers use same carb without these issue's.

I love that Stihl FS94R weed whacker, especially the throdel I’d also say that the FS94R weed whacker, is the best brand that Stihl makes. Another reason why I like it is because it’s a straight shaft, and so it weed whacks, under fences, and other stuff. Stihl is the best brand that they make. I’ve always loved the Stihl weed whacker, and leaf blowers. Their the best brand that they make.

@FreshCutsLawnMaintenance

The fs94r holds nearly 7 ounces more fuel, its slightly less weight, but also more balanced when holding it. I think the fs70 makes slightly more power in lower rpms and the fs94r makes more power as rpms increase.

My sister has difficulty with tools that are too heavy and she actually loved mine and found it easy to use kzitem.infoUgkx_rBCFuDW1zD6blTGhLkvAkxU657uR_lG . This is a newer model but was even lighter which she really appreciates. She enjoys it and I no longer have to go to her house to trim as she can handle it fine. Haven't used it enough to comment on the battery life but lithium batteries last longer than the old style. Being cordless makes it easy to trim the far edges of the property. The entire yard can be trimmed with one charged battery.

My 94 worked well for 2.5 years, the last year and a half, under warranty, it was in the shop 7 times. They could never get it to run right for longer than 15 min. My 130 still runs like a champ with the same hours as the 94. For a light weight one, this year l bought the 70. By the way the fs 94r has a flexible cable shafts not solid, it's only rated for up to grass blades.

RedMax / Husqvarna offer true Commercial blade capable machines in this price range. Idk if Echo does, due to their weight I didn't look at them long, most likely they do. Fyi- I had two Stihl dealers confirm these units develop intermittent starting issues very early on. Wouldn't say why?According to countless owner posts/reviews Stihl can't fix the issue once it begins? Some post said it's a vaporlock issue? New carbs Stihl throws at it don't fix it.

Alex Diaz it won’t blow up no need to fear. Only way it would do that is if you threw it in a fire and even then It probably wouldn’t explode. It would just melt the fuel tank and flare up as if you put some gas on a fire. I’ve been running gas powered trimmers for 20 years and never had one catch on fire. Lithium batteries can explode or catch fire though so there is that.
