bit the bullet and got an echo. Starts first or second pull every time. I also put “Sea Foam” gas treatment in my fuel. It keeps the small engine carbs from gumming up etc.

Stihl and Echo have great reviews. I have a Honda 4 stroke. It's super quiet, but heavy.

I have this one. I like it a lot because it’s easy to rotate and use as an edged too.

I've liked our Black and Decker 40V. Here's the one we have on Amazon. Make sure it is the 136 and not the 140

Would it take out the 6 ft weeds that cover my back yard right now?

Hmmm. It's tackled a lot of weeds at my house, so ... maybe?
