There are a lot of brands that make high quality items. Such as Echo, Shindiawa, and Redmax.

Always look at a real dealer though, not a chain store.


A mans got to know his limitations.

I use to run stihl everything, i tried echos, husky, husky has a so many different models it hard to keep up, like a 100 series might be home owner grade, 200 would be light Comercial use, unless bought a a big box store them its labeled as heavy duty, 300 series would be heavy Comercial use. To me the best stihl weed smacker is a 85r, the 90r replaced it and is the hybrid 4 stroke unit. I currently own one of those and it wont die but its heavy has good low end torque and mime has around 400hrs ln it i keep it as a back up. I currentyl run redmax weedeaters and love them, they're light super quite, very very little vibrations, the huskys use redmax stratos chraged motor on the actual Comercial units have for years and that why they bought redmax out, one.model uses a honda 4 stroke with a crankcase engine. The 90r is a heavyier them the redmax 3050s and has less power. The echo has.a wierd controls for me best thing they have going for them the speed feed head. Price wise in my area is echo is the highest priced the stihl is next then husky then redmax. I tried to get a discount on buying 4 new 90r weeedeaters from the dealer and that was a no go he said stihl never runs them on sale, and if he as a employee of the store he only got 10 dollars off the price wish is the same for ny region regardless of dealer. Redmax dealer was more flexible on price so i bought 2 new weed smackers and 2 new edgers

I got a price at my local independent store, but they didn't have it in stock, so I went to Home Depot and they price-matched (and had it on the shelf).


I am not trying to argue you here but there ain't no way you are getting 100% the same quality out of any brand of equipment that you buy out of a box store as you are with dealer only Stihl products.

You may get a good product that serves your needs but it ain't no where near the 100% of the quality of Stihl.

One thing is certain, what you stated and what I stated are both opinions! thumbup


I can't speak for the Husky, but regarding Echo and Stihl, it ain't like the John Deere mower from a dealer (with Kohler motor) vs a John Deere from Lowes (with Briggs & Stratton). An Echo is an Echo.

Husky makes residential stuff and professional grade stuff. Most of the residential stuff is sold at big box stores. The professional grade stuff is sold at dealers. The professional grade stuff is as good as any of the others but they cost like the others also. You can't compare a residential trimmer or a saw that was $150 -$200 cheaper to a professional grade one.


If you're gonna be stupid you better be tough.
