I have both the Maruyama b30L and Stihl fs94r trimmers. The Maruyama is around5-7 yrs old and going on 2 full seasons with the stihl.
The Maruyama has been very reliable with no issues and , so far, no issues with
the Stihl. The Maruyama is slightly heavier and slightly more powerful, though neither of those facts make a difference in which trimmer I pick up to use. I like both trimmers and use both about the same!
I mainly bought the Stihl from one of the local dealers because the owner of the local Maruyama dealership passed away and I didn’t know if they would remain open after that.
i have quite a few Maruyama trimmers and blowers and they have been very reliable so dealer and parts availability have not been a concern for me! My oldest piece, a bc3020 trimmer which is at least 15 years ol, still starts and easily and runs well with no parts ever needing replaced…except for the starter rope once!
No issues with the Stihl so far! Not crazy about the gas spraying out when you loosen gas cap and the sometimes inconsistent starting…(from 1-5 pulls) though it has never failed to start!
