I bought this FS94 to replace a Stihl FS50 and am absolutely delighted with it - fantastic lightweight (but powerful) whipper snipper.

I have learned the hard (expensive) way that the machines with a bent shaft are USELESS, and the FS50 felt like a DIY machine which would never really handle anything other than gentle work. I did not like it one bit, hence trading up for the FS94. Whilst the same size engine, the FS94 is a different animal and feels like a proper, heavy duty machine which is what I expect from Stihl.

The ecospeed function is...

Powerful enough to tackle any thing and kinda quiet. Easy to start and love the speed feed head on it. Had a FS 55 but was just not powerful enough for our landscaping business, but this is perfection! Also like the ECO-speed controller don’t use it often but when I do it comes in handy. Smashed the head into a rock fairly hard and must have bent the shaft and now vibrates.

Over all though Great tool!

Great trimmer, well balanced when wearing support strap, easy start with petrol primer, easy tap down self loading line extender makes getting extra line easy and time efficient, has many after market blades and attachments for hardcore brush cutting

I sold on my trusty on Stihl FS 120 after many years of use to get one of the 94's and I am pretty happy with it. I can't fault it and have had it for nearly a year. I'm only using it on 2 lawns, on average for about 20-30 mins each week.
Up until this trimmer I had only ever used one with the bike handles and full harness, through both my job and my previously owned FS 120. It's much easier around the house with a loop handle but I wouldn't like to take on a huge area with a loop handle. This trimmer would be up to it power wise but not sure...

Great bit of kit really powerful and the features are really well placed no problems at all never have to feed line never cuts out I even accidentally cut a thick branch while easily brush cutting brambles an it cut it like butter I checked the blade and no damage at all. Its the best I've ever had in the past and worth the money when you get this high quality.

After a couple of months working with a very heavy "el cheapo" Gardenline trimmer, I finally decided to go back to my local Stihl dealer to buy yet another piece of equipment. I spent over 4 hours trying to decide whether to go with the FS85R or the FS94RC but I eventually chose the 94 and I couldn't be happier! It starts very easily, has plenty of power, is extremely light and is easy to control. The semi-automatic choke is very simple to set and I love the cruise control. It certainly makes life a lot easier when edging. One thing I find anno...

I have been whipper snippering for over 30 years and have hand cleared many, many hectares of land in various states of very bad repair. I thought my trusty FS55 was good with its various cutting attachments however this FS94 is unbelievable. After I purchased it I went straight to work trying to cut down wet 4 foot high twitch grass which for those who know is a perfect test for a whipper snipper. Would you believe it never stopped. That grass is so thick and tough yet the 94 went through it with ease. Very light yet very powerful. Can't see (or have used ) anything better. Just a note that line size of below 2.4mm is useless and 2.7mm is ideal.

I've recently purchased this Stihl FS 94 RC-E. It's so light and yet so powerful. The "E" is for "easy start" and indeed, it's extremely easy to start. This unit comes with an automatic head, which means you don't have to bump the head to feed. Therefore, you can continuously working with it. The only downside is the plastic head, which can be worn out after awhile.

Overall, Stihl FS 94 RC-E is a solid unit for medium to large block of land.

Highly recommended.

Purchased this to replace very tired fs45 which has had its fair share of use and abuse over the years. This is a big step up from the 45. I got the model with the bike handle bars and harness. Makes life so much easier and much quicker for clearing large areas. Has plenty of power and goes through anything you throw at it.

The guy at the local dealer was very helpful and even offered me a 4 year warranty at the expense of some of Sthil's high quality two stroke oil. I gladly accepted this as you need the two stoke oil to run the machine an...

I love this machine, it's well made, it lights weight, economical to run but powerful and you can attach a Stihl articulated hedge trimmer to it. An all round well thought out unit.
