My 10 year old Stihl is going fine. A small issue this year, which I posted here, but I got it going. It was there cheapest, model fs45. I think $150 then. I use it about 8 hours run time a year. Figured Stihl doesn't make junk, so I would try there cheapest model. I would buy another one.

I was in the middle of cleaning up our property for a party when my decent whipper snipper (weed whacker) broke the shaft. I rushed up to the local hardware store and spent 70 bucks on a cheapo one called Ross just to finish the job before people arrived. That was 5 years ago and it is still going hard. Starts every time, has plenty of grunt, and gets hard use. Having said that, I would be surprised if it lasts another year.
