Model overview based on user reviews  
The STIHL FSE 81 trimmer has received mixed reviews from users. Some appreciate its powerful and reliable performance, with one user noting its effectiveness over several years of use. However, others have highlighted significant issues, such as poor motor quality and the need for frequent repairs. The trimmer is described as comfortable, but users have pointed out the absence of a belt, requiring additional purchases.

While some users have had positive experiences, others suggest considering cheaper alternatives due to the high cost and maintenance issues.

For so many years only positive emotions

I’ve been using it since 2015, I’ve already changed the second coil, I broke the first ones on rocks, it’s my own fault.
Powerful, comfortable, reliable
There was no belt included, I bought it separately. The screw that secures the rod to the housing has become loose over time and has become difficult to hold. I deepened the hole a little and it was fine.

a model with serious flaws

For 3 seasons, I mowed the lawn with a trimmer line, 400 square meters. And then it started turning on for a few seconds and shutting off again. The service center said the electric motor needed replacement and quoted the price of a new one, factoring in my store discount where I bought it. I refused. Upon returning home and examining it, I was surprised at the junk these Germans are selling us; I couldn’t figure out what I paid for. Online reviews of this manufacturer's motors are bad. The motor itself is poorly made. The ergonomics are poor because there's no belt included, the auxiliary handle won't lock onto the shaft, and I had to make adjustments and purchase additional items. Before you buy a Stihl, be prepared to pay 500 rubles plus electricity and cable per 100 square meters; maybe it’s more honest to just get a cheaper Chinese brand, 2-3 times less expensive.
no
A hodgepodge (Domel 4892 Slovenia engine??? (price 5200 without work), Viking electronics - no comment) and the price is the same as for a purebred German.

model with serious drawbacks

I'm already tired of writing that stihl sucks. Winding up the fishing line is a problem, the limiter wheel does not spin and interferes with mowing, the quality of the fishing line is below the baseboard. I could list the shortcomings for a long time, but I’ll move on to the gas mower. 2 years and she has lost her cravings. Cannot be adjusted. We had 7 mowers for 3 farms of 15 acres each. There was no crazy shit.
