The only thing Stihl does better vs the echo 9010 is the auto return kill switch. The 9010 easily wins otherwise.
Definitely personal opinion and preference it’s not always about blower performance ect. Theres certain areas without echo dealers and or they suck also some people find the Stihl more comfortable to wear. Also my br 600 has done everything I’ve needed just not as fast as an 800 or the echo 9010 would. 600 was bought by my dad new when they first came out to blow leaves at his cabin that was to rough to rake ect. Still runs great and while I should have done it the valves have never been adjusted.

Have you ever run a 9010? Almost without fail, when I let a customer run one a few minutes, they walk out the door with it. It's like having a dirt bike on your back.
I have one. The first generation swivel cuff used to pop out of joint. They have since came out with an upgraded version. The unit still has a very stiff corrugated elbow that is cumbersome to move around. The runtime is only about 40 minutes on wide open throttle. Most of the time it sits in storage. For everyday use I prefer my STIHL BR600.

My new FS-91 gets VP synthetic 40:1 with an ounce of fuel stabilizer and premium gas, same as all my other mixed fuel engines. So far it runs great on the stuff, we shall see over the long run. I'm planning to adjust the valves periodically.
