My Echo backpack blower has served me well for 15+ years. Purchased at Home Depot. Yes, the choke position has to be adjusted every once in awhile to ensure full throttle, but it still works pretty well. Very pleased with it.
Stihl on the other hand pisses me off. I spent a fortune on their edger and weed whacker attachement and they are unreliable as hell. I bought a new Ryobi and it works great. I need to unload the Stihl to some sucker.
