ABSOLUTELY AMAZING TOOL
FS 94 RC-EBought an FS94 loop handle after much research. Extremely happy with the product. Very easy to start and use. The power is great. Does have a small amount of vibration at half/low throttle but I don't generally operate the tool at that throttle so doesn't matter to me. So very fuel economical and light. Very happy with the purchase

Options on trimmer line is limited! Don't Buy!
FS 94 RC-EHeavy. Starting not terribly difficult, but not great either. Now, the third bullet is my issue. When you can buy various trimmer head options for most trimmers you pay this much for, this is limited to trying to wrap the two lines around and feed. It is a major pain in the ass and last no time at all! Don't buy this. You can get MUCH better trimmers for less and trimmer heads that last! Glad to sell you mine and take a loss.

Top value
FS 94 RC-EI bought my Stihl FS 94 RC-E 2nd hand 5 years ago for 1/2 the price of a new one and use it for cutting grass, lantana and small regrowth trees on my property. The only problem I had was a blocked spark arrestor which was an easy fix.. I use a speed feed head for grass and a saw blade ( $10 off ebay ) for heavy cutting ie lantana, trees . It has plenty of power and is nice and light to use .

Best Performing Whipper Snipper For Acreage And Commercial!
FS 94 RC-EI have had this absolutely amazing trimmer/whipper snipper for over a year and it's remarkable capabilities have helped improved my performance and efficiency as a small business owner outstandingly. I would recommend this fabulous whipper snipper for anyone looking for a reliable whipper snipper that is light enough to hold all day but powerful enough with its two stroke capabilities to slash down anything in its way. This amazing trimmer would also be a well performing whipper snipper to anyone with acres of land to take on! One of the most r
... Read moreeliable and powerful pieces of equipment I have owned over the years that are putting other brands to shame! If you were to buy this product, also look into buying a certain head called the speed feed head which is a quick loading head to make it faster and easier to reload your whipper snipper with line! With this combo, it is truly one of the most absolutely amazing whipper snippers!
Very good trimmer.
FS 94 RC-EI 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
... Read more if I would be. It's a decent amount of money to spend on a trimmer but well worth it. A couple of things worth mentioning. Follow the directions exactly with the easy start system. They have a spring in them that will distort if not started correctly. In my experience it can take a long time for it to fail, but it does happen. Also as with any outdoor lawn/garden equipment, don't use ethanol blend fuel. If you can use 95 octane and use a good Stihl oil. I use the HP super semi synthetic in all my 2 strokes.
Unbelievable strimmer/brush cutter five stars great product
FS 94 RC-EGreat 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.

Absolutely amazing!
FS 94 RC-EAfter 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
... Read moreying is the auto-feed head. I have heard that plenty of other gardeners have been given grief over the auto-feed heads and replace them with bump-feed ones. I found out myself the other day that it gives me grief too after I went through over 2 full spools of line on 6 yards! I know I shouldn't go through that much because doing those same yards one after the other with my Gardenline trimmer I went through less than 1 spool and they both hold around the same amount of line. After speaking with another gardener that I know well who has the FS94 too I went onto Ebay and ordered a Speed Feed bump feed head. For anyone experiencing trouble with the auto-feed heads I would highly recommend the Speed Feed head. They are very easy to load and they are about $54 depending on which one you get (I have ordered the 4.5" one) which is still cheaper than most of the better Stihl bump feed heads. Overall the FS94RC is a fantastic trimmer and I will definitely buy one again!
Unbelievable
FS 94 RC-EI 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.

Brilliant piece of tool
FS 94 RC-EI'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.

Do u have Caburaters for STIHL FS 94 Bush trimmers?
Yes the Stihl FS94 series, like just about every other petrol-powered garden tool, has a carburetor. You can find replacements for them at your local Stihl dealer or on eBay. I would strongly suggest you get anything like that serviced or replaced at your dealer though unless you are a mechanic and are comfortable with your knowledge of the machine and what everything does and where it goes.
As James states, they do have them and they are available as spares. But if you are asking me personally, no I don't sell anything. I just reviewed the trimmer as I own one and was happy with it.
Hi, Looking at either the FS94 RC-E or FS85R but tripping more towards the 94. One thing I am worried about is the easy start feature which sounds great for homeowners starting the machine on the ground (like you are supposed to) but as a gardener who finds this a waste of time and starts everything while holding it (except my mowers of course) I am wondering whether I will end up damaging/breaking the easy start system because it is kinda hard to slowly pull a starter cord while holding the tool in the air, I normally just give my things a couple of good rips and they go. Don't really have time for slowly pulling cords 50 times. I know the FS85 and the old FS94 didn't have the easy start so I wonder whether I go the 85 to save the starter mechanism or get a FS94 RC starter put on the new 94 RC-E or will the starter on the current 94 be ok and I can pull it fast without breaking it? Interested to hear from people.
Thanks,
James :D
Hi James,
I believe the current FS94 series come with the "E" models and none of them comes without the "easy start" feature. Only the FS85 series or the series above FS94 (e.g. FS130, FS250) come with non "E".
Personally, i've found that it's quite easy to start the beast while holding it in the air if you want to but put it on the lawn and pull the cord is even easier. I didn't have to pull the cord that many times and i definitely did not have to pull the cord slowly. Only 2 pulls and it roars.
Cheers,
Hi James, go with the 94. I do the same as you whilst starting the 94 I have at the moment. So far very strong cord but it does start easily......I've had no dramas in 6 months with it and it gets a good run. I also don't pull the cord slowly but it takes 3 pulls max.after the initial turn over in the motor. Great machine the 94. Go for it.

Thanks Martin and Panania for the responses! Good to know. I am definitely going with the 94 now!
Im sure you won't be disappointed I got one today its a great bit of kit really powerful and starting while clipped on 1 pull easy and get the more expensive oil as well you will notice the difference plus fuel stays good for a lot longer
Hey Rob thanks for the reply yes I did go the 94 and I am very happy with it. I use the top oil Stihl has (I think its called HP Ultra or something) and yes it starts very easy. Best trimmer I have ever bought.
