3 years of very hard use on my stihl fs90r with no problems. Had run stihl 2 cycles for 12 years before the switch to the 4 mix. I was nervous at first but now Im sold. The 4 mix is awesome with tons of low end torque and easy starting.

I prefer my Stihl FS80R over my FS90R is lighter better balanced, and rarely ever need to run it at full throttle. Plus you have more range on the throttle, the FS90 is basically full or nothing.

I would have bought a few more if I knew they were going to stop making them.

Our last km130 (bought in march this year) has been twice in the shop, one time to get new valves and 1 time to get a new carb (luckily it was all covered by warranty, lucky me :S ). Our other km130 which is 2 years old and gets used everyday, still runs fine. But what else can we buy that is so multifunctional and powerful at the same time? I tried the maruyama combi and hated it (not enough power). Probably the same for the echo version although i haven't tried that one.
