I do not have any experience of the stimmer personally but I would massively recommend getting a Kombi system, with strimmer, if you look after small gardens. You will be amazed how much you use it, especially if you do hedges or even if you do not then get the blower attachment for it.

 

The basic one is the KM56 but its reported to be a bit gutless so I went for the KM90 - there are two more models but depends on what power you need really - the bigger the engine the more power.

 

My prefered supplier is FRJones:

Stihl KM 90R engine unit (28.4cc) 4-mix | F R Jones and Son

My girlfriends got one if the fs55 straight shaft loop handle at hers it's actually pretty good. I've got a combi and bigger brushcutters for my work but if your after a cheap basic Strimmer I don't think you will go far wrong.

Fs90r would be perfect for your needs,

re strimmer if you are only strimming then there are as good machines as the sthil. honda 425 mine has never let me down and it was abused did more than it should have. 4 stroke, or Efco very good machines.

as other post are you wanting to do other things combi system is good so many attachments go on them. but a fs 90 with strimmer hedgecutter. looking at a 1k for one. so not cheap efco do a very good combi so do echo lot less money but just as good kit.

did look at a echo strimmer to put a hedge cutter on but shaft is so long it would be hard work using it so will go combi for shorter shaft for doing hedge cutting.

Yep, great strimmer. More powerful than its size would indicate....

I love the FS55, great little strimmer, does a lot more than you would expect.

P.S. Get the cow horn one

I`ve had one a number of years and its been a great little strimmer.I use it for garden edging, clearing rough areas, and a fair bit of work on a pheasant shoot.

Very versatile for its size.Mine has the handlebars.
