Summary:
I have only owned this for two weeks so maybe my review isn't going to really help anyone. I researched trimmers for 5 days (almost all day) and was torn between the stihl and the echo. My neighbor said they use the stihls at work and they take a beating and keep on running...so I went with that. My last one was a home depot speacial that had a ton less power and froze up after the 2nd season....so far I can tell this is way out of that league.
Strengths:
Solid machine, works like a horse.
Weaknesses:
So far I haven't really found any except for it was a little heaview then some other trimmers in the same price range (echo, shin, etc).

Summary:
great german product, like an American truck built by Germans!
Strengths:
starts line champ
lighter than most
powerful and completes jobs with ease
Weaknesses:
in the beginning it's hard to get used to feeding the line.
you will feel like 3rd hand is appropriate, but i placed mine in a vice to hold it while I fed the line into the feeder.
it's a nice change.

Summary:
Great machine, just requires regular maintenance to keep in top form
Strengths:
Starts easy, plenty of power, used with plastic blades it takes down thick weeds, grass, even brambles easily
Weaknesses:
The plastic choke lever broke off after a year of use.
After about 2 years of normal use, it was losing power. I discovered the exhaust port was getting clogged. It was easily fixed by removing the port and burning off the residue with a blow torch. Now it runs great again.

Summary:
Purchased new 6/07 to trim small hill. After little use had repaired under warranty on 8/08, clean and adjusted carb. After winterizing and fresh fuel used twice this summer and again it would not idle, hard to start and will not stay running. The repair shop says it needs a new carb and check valve. A one hundred dollar bill, I only paid two. I figure it only has about 10-15 hrs on it.
Strengths:
Works great when it ran.
Weaknesses:
Fuel system.
