String trimmers, which do you use, are you happy?

I have an Echo that I have been using for about 20 years. Only had it in the shop once. (Last year) It only needed some minor repairs. It still cuts like new. I love it. (At least as much as you can love a weedeater.) I don't know the model but I think it was the cheapest straight shaft model they had at the time.

I've used many brands and sizes. I now own a Stihl FS85 and an Echo 230. I'll pull the Echo out 10 to 1 over the Stihl. It starts easier, runs great and cuts better than the Stihl ever has. It has an added bonus; it's the wifes favorite trimmer so she helps with more of the trimming /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
