Switch on my 7yr old Stihl also went but still a good machine till it also got nicked , screwdriver through van door while I was cutting a hedge 20 yards round corner ! Replaced with a Husky cos it was all dealer had and although maybe a little Tinny compared to Stihll it does the job. If you've got the brass backpack's got loads more nuts.

I'd avoid Echo, had one once and it was pretty pants.

 

If it's for gardening etc, get SH86 handheld, great with vac kit for work on steps/yards etc, and you don't want to be strapping on a backpack every five minutes to blow a bed you've just pruned off.

 

If it's for clearing up after a big takedown, lots of sawdust stuck in a lawn etc, then a BG600 is the only way to go IMHO. Awesome power, but excessive for most applications.

 

Whatever you do, don't get a Stihl BG/SH 56. These are probably the source of Johnny Walkers 'knuckleshaker' comment- the anti vibe is a third of that on the 86 series.

 

HTH.

My Kawasaki backpack blower is 13 years old and never misses a beat, gets used alot . I will definiatly buy one again if they still make them in 20 years when my current one will go in to retirement.
