No experience with Stihl lawn mowers, but I have nothing but high praise for the brand.
After years of getting (mostly) Black and Decker hedge trimmers, I bought a Stihl corded. It was expensive, but the Stihl made the B&D seem like a toy. We call it “The Monster”, and it has been just incredible. They’ve only recently gotten into consumer stuff, and have increased their electric tool availability. We were going to get a Stihl weed whacker, but you need to wind it, like a commercial one.
