I really like the idea of having 4-Stroke blowers and trimmers to save carrying two different fuels, not to mention cleaner running and lower noise. The Honda powered Atom edger I have is a really nice engine to use. But............
As a person who uses these things for extended periods, I need maximum performance and light weight. This gets the job done quicker (time is money and all) and limits fatigue. Weight - Honda HHB 25 - 5.2 kg Stihl BG 86C - 4.5 kg Husqvarna 525BX - 4.3 kg I know we are only talking grams here, but it adds up as the day go's on. Max. air speed - Honda HHB 25 - 70 m/s or 252 kph Stihl BG 86C - 89 m/s or 320 kph Husqvarna 525BX - 86 m/s or 309 kph Price - Honda HHB 25 - $499 rrp Stihl BG 86C - $399 rrp Husqvarna 525BX - $585 rrp All things considered, I would argue the Stihl is the best value for money.
