Just want to say the 94 is a straight 2 stroke and the 91 is a 4 stroke, like you said. But the 2 stroke is valveless, while the 91 has valves. The valves need to be adjusted every 50-75 hours while the 94 never needs adjusting. Not a big deal as valve adjusting isn’t difficult but for someone that wants similar power and less maintenance, the 94 might be the better option.
Really great job with not messing sentences up and being articulate, thanks for this video I just got an fs91r and I'm only now watching videos about and learning about it, kinda backwards but I think it's got a lot of potential with interchangeable attachments that could save money and space too.
I just recently bought a 94R and if I had to cut my way through the Amazon this is definitely the trimmer I’m taking. The power to weight ratio is amazing and the fuel life is amazing. I’ve been cutting the same path with other timers and I typically know when I’m gonna need to refuel. With the 94R I got to that point and kept on going and trimmed for another 20-30 minutes before I needed to refuel. (I had already been going for 30-40 minutes) I’m in love with this trimmer just wish I was able to attach an edger to it.
I Just bought a 94R. I haven’t used it. I have about 4 to 5 acres I have to mow. I got the 94R because of the weight. I’ve been doing it with a KM56, and KM90R. They are heavy units but I can change out the head. The 90R has 1.3 HP and when it’s cutting it throws stuff everywhere. I expect the 94R will do the same. Thank for the review. I have found some people like, and some hate it. I can’t say I’m excited to use it. Running any weed eater is hard work.

Bit annoyed he sold me the wrong style trimmer...l told him " Not impressed" your review was my exact thoughts on those models..great review
@@douglaslawncare2843 keep in mind theres no engine oil in the "4mix" series and they still require mixxed gas, where as every other 4cycle engine has an oil sump and takes straight gas, it does have valves and is a 4cycle combustion
Thanks to your video, I may be buying another trimmer, lighter 94R. I have a ranch property so only the 91R. Takes me probably a couple days of 3-4hrs of trimming. I need to watch…vid on attaching blade for my 91 to take down fence foliage.
@@douglaslawncare2843 at what mix ? And odd combination. Had a flat track race bike with oil injection but still mixed gas but that was a two stroke and a different scenario.
I own both of these, and I mainly grab the 91. I’m thinking about selling the 94, as it doesn’t have enough power for St. Augustine grass that I cut. I’ll probably replace the 94 with a 131
I tried the KOMBI versions of these; KM 91R & KM 94R. Initially bought the KM 91R. I struggled miserably with its weight, balance, bogging & it’s high speed or no speed action. Immediately returned it & bought a KM 94R. I couldn’t be happier. Note: The power difference between them is negligible; 1.27 bhp (91R) vs 1.20 bhp (94R). I couldn’t tell the difference. Matter fact as a weed eater the 94R inspires more confidence.
Nice! When I need full throttle the entire time I grab my 91r. 90-95% of the time I’m running the 94r. It’s a great machine. Just feels different when trimming with it, probably due to less weight.
Thanks for the review my friend! Considering one of these machines for my lawn care business here in the UK. Been running Efco for years (handle bar style) but considering switching to stihl. God bless
I just bought the FS91R to replace my FS50CE, it was $60 off and i needed something a little more powerful and i can put a brush blade on it, i trim a lot of dense weeds tall grasses and brush
I loved my fs 94 for 3 years, then it would not run longer than 20 min. It was in the shop 5 times in its last year of warenty. Never could get it right. I tried everything over this last year (no warenty) with no luck. I am looking at picking up a fs 70 for a light trimmer as my 130 gets too heavy for light work.
Yes the 70 is the commercial model compareed tothe fs 56. From what I have found the 70 has 2 piston rings and a needle bearing at the end of the rod, and 4 bearings in the gearbox. I wish I could get another 94 but I don't trust it anymore, time to try the 70 I think.
I’ve been running an fs70r for 5 years and I bought it used!! It’s got power and does the job. I live in the boonies and have a lot to cut and trim and it hasn’t let me down. If it goes down I’ll get another 70r or even a 56r. Cheers
These are good for cutting grass or some weeding. I do big weed wacking jobs and i have a KM 131. For edging lawns i use my Milwaukee 18 volt string trimmer.
Two different tools for two different jobs in my opinion. The 91 for trimming that thick nasty stuff around a pond. The 94 for the manicured lawns that are serviced regularly.
debating between the fs94r and a 4mix, id probably jump up to the fs131r but im concerned ill have reliability issues with the 4mix valves, any experience on this? i dont so lawn care full time but i do alot for family and just hobby projects here and there, some tree removal involves clearing light brush, i like to have an overpowered unit vs an underpowered one even if im carrying uneccesarry weight but im hoping to get a unit to last me 10years or more and the valves seem like a failure point, do they have cams and cam chains or hows that work?
I currently use an fs94 as my primary string trimmmer. I have a 4-mix km130 kombi unit that i use primarily for tools that require more torque, as in the edger, bed redefiner, and brush cutter. I find the large powerhead on the km130 too heavy to use all day just to maintain grass. The fs94 is very lightweight and has good power for its size, perfect for medium length grass but bogs when you dive into long, thick, lush grass. I have had to replace the carb on the 94 almost annually, so that's downfall. The km130 has not given me any trouble with the valves yet, but I do put both units in for service before the start of each season. The tech has adjusted the valves on the 130 but it was only minor and didn't prevent the engine from running, it only smoothed out the idle once adjusted.
Fantastic video and very informative. We run a campground and often am trimming around campers while the people are there. I have had an awesome Hitachi which weighs about 10 lbs and sounds much quieter than the average 2 stroke. I can do most trimming at very low RPMs... And low engine noise. I'm considering the 56 or the 94. They weight about the same as my Hitachi, but I'm wondering about their exhaust volume. Also the 56 at about $200 vs the 94 at $359 is quite a different. Thoughts?
Personally I don’t think I will own anything with less power than the 94r. I do have another video where I take the 91r and the 94r through some thick weeds. Even with less power the 94r will get the job done! As to the emissions I really cant compare the two brands. It doesn’t seem that bad. I was cleaning the aerator screen at least once a month and ended up taking it off. If runs so much better with those screens off! Thanks for watching!
@@douglaslawncare2843 I absolutely love my 94 R it's light, powerful and easy on fuel. From light trimming to mowing down high weeds and grass this trimmer will take care of it no problem all day long. Great beast of a machine.
Im confused. I thought you said the FS 91 was 4 stroke but still needed t mix fuel. I always thought 4 stroke you dont mix oil with fuel like cars are 4 stroke. Maybe the fs 91 is better balenced by carrying it by the handle you normally use.
Stihl's 4 mix engines are 4-stroke engines that use oil mixed gas. The reason is that they do not have an oil sump crankcase like traditional 4-stroke engines. Since there isn't a wet sump crankcase to lubricate the engine internals, lubrication is provided to essential friction points via the fuel mixture. Top end engine components (valves, cam, lifters, etc) are typical to traditional 4-stroke design. The powerbands are different between the 2 types as the 4 mix engine produces better torque values at lower rpm, where the 2-stroke requires higher rpms to produce comparable torque. Each tool has its own strengths and weaknesses in the field.
I’ve actually had issues with both. Love the 94 the best when it ran. We actually switched over to the Stihl FSA135R’s this is Stihls battery trimmer. I won’t ever go back!
@@douglaslawncare2843 thanks a lot I've actually bin looking at the 135r and thought do I just go the extra money and not have to pull at it or fuel it just pick up and go how you finding the 135r
Hey sir can i ask you something whats the biggest yard you cut cause in my town a friend of my he got a big lot that you can make like 6 house together
The 94r sounds really weak tbh. I have a fs91r and love it but the maintenance sucks. Also I don’t get why the 94r is listed at $349 and the fs91r is listed at $329???? You’d think it’d be the other way around.
I bought a 94r a few months ago, no real problems although I hate the gas tank. Mine smokes like crazy when it's sideways or upside down for edging. It doesn't affect it any but it drives me nuts. Does yours do this?
I have the fs90r. 1 prime and it starts first pull every time. Looking at trading it for a 94r or even 70r though as the weight is just unnecessary all day
Personally I’d it was me I wouldn’t want to go with less power than what the 94 has. But like I said. Most dealers let you demo them! I’m sure they would let you demo both and decide which one you like better. I know my dealer would.
Nice! Most people think it’s for the Denver Broncos! Ha! My brother in law played tennis there and multiple family members graduated form there. I root for them every time! (Other than when they play UofM!) Go blue!
stihl's trimmers are very easy to control. 98% of the time I never run mine over a third throttle. no need to run half or full throttle unless in a wide open field. even then i dont like doing that because anything it throws its going to throw harder. Learn how to control the throttle makes everything better
Why doesn’t still tell people which is 2 and 4 stroke? I’ve studied these a lot and even have a Stihl book. I most definitely want. 2 stroke! No valves and double the power
I have several 4-mixes, and while I like their powerband - Sithl's engineering sucks. Perhaps I shouldn't expect more than 4-5 years out of modern stuff. The gas tank is too small on the 4-mixes (its not a saddle, but only on one side), and valves need adjusting regularly. Once a small leak happens in any of the gaskets (especially bottom end), they don't run worth a crap. I liken them to a Porsche engine regarding design / maintenance. The two strokes seem to be more robust by their nature and take more abuse. Just my take, as I'm moving away from 4-mix. All the complexity of 4-stroke, coupled with the lubricating limitations of a 2 stroke. If they were a real 4-stroke with a closed sump design, like a Honda, maybe I'd reconsider. All my next machines are 94r's.
@@douglaslawncare2843 Yeahh, just sold my last 90 and 130 and got two 94r's today. You only really need the 130 if you run a pole pruner with a bunch of extensions. Don't miss the 4 mixes at all.
You should watch this video. Definitely not a boat anchor! Your correct that the 111rx is a beast but don’t get me wrong, the 91r can hold its own. Thanks for watching! ruclips.net/video/InjJtpWBZi4/видео.html
I have been told Echo and Shindawa are made in the same factory/same owner. But if your after a trimmer for commercial use Shindawa 👍👍 I have used Stihl for years and never looked at other brands, feels like me eyes are open now.
I run Honda’s 35cc VersAttach system. Honda claims it’s commercial grade, but that’s a highly subjective, equivocal marketing distinction. All I know is that it’s an absolute beast, and is as quiet as a sewing machine.
They are the two most common Stihl trimmer’s... People want to know the difference between the two. They are actually very comparable. Thanks for watching!
I was down to these two choices. Going with the 94.
Thank you!
Just want to say the 94 is a straight 2 stroke and the 91 is a 4 stroke, like you said. But the 2 stroke is valveless, while the 91 has valves.

Love Stihl tools but went for the Husqvarna 535LK pro combi, multiple tools with one power unit. Well balanced and shed loads of power!
Stihl has the combi setup. Do you like the trimmer itself better than a Stihl trimmer? I don’t believe I have a husquvarna dealer close by.

I move it close to the number on the shaft

He's yummy! I'm subscribing!
😏
I choose..... fs240
Can you do a video using the fs91 in some high grass
Yeah! I can do that.
@@douglaslawncare2843 ok thanks need alittle more convincing lol, I appreciate it
Just put out a new video. Took the 91r through an overgrown ditch. 👍🏻
Michael Douglas ok cool I will look for it once I get home from work, thank u so much
That grass wont stand a chance against the fs 91r 28cc.its a bit heavy in weight,iam down grading to the fs 56ce.,
I prefer the non r models. Less vibrations and less weight to hold in your hands. Just hang it on the harness and grab the handlebars.
6:10 80% of the time, it works every time
I bought a 94r a few months ago, no real problems although I hate the gas tank. Mine smokes like crazy when it's sideways or upside down for edging. It doesn't affect it any but it drives me nuts. Does yours do this?
No, mine doesn’t do that.
my fs70 smokes during wide open throttle spool up
I have the fs90r. 1 prime and it starts first pull every time. Looking at trading it for a 94r or even 70r though as the weight is just unnecessary all day
Is the 70 r a commercial trimmer? I’d recommend the 94r. Very light weight. Most dealers will let you demo them before purchasing.
@@douglaslawncare2843 sup Michael. Yeh the 70r is listed under professional trimmers but the 94r seems to be the go to trimmer for commercial use.
Personally I’d it was me I wouldn’t want to go with less power than what the 94 has. But like I said. Most dealers let you demo them! I’m sure they would let you demo both and decide which one you like better. I know my dealer would.
I wouldn’t get rid of the 90. I still have mine and I won’t ever sell it. I just got a 94 and I like it for the lighter stuff
Agree! I have a 90 that’s a dedicated edger. It’s old but that thing is a beast and still running like a champ!
So which one is better
Get the fs 56 rc or the kombi fs 56 or the fs 240r, more power, because the 4 mixes ain't nothing but problems
Fs 111 RX for the win!!!
I love my Stihl fsa 135r! 👍🏻
I alway crank my trimmer on choke n let it run till it stops. Then crank off choke and let it warm up before sqeezjngvtge throttle
94 r is the way to go. Less maintance,
Out of these two machines I’d agree with that.
@@douglaslawncare2843 yes plus the sthil 4mixes will get heavy at the end of the day
Yes sir they will .
You said most of Stihls trimmers are 4 stroke. I thought most of them are 2 stroke.
They are 4 mix has valves like a four stoke but
Don’t have a oil tank there for it take 2 stroke gas.
Bro is it 2 stroke or 4 stroke? 4 stroke doesn't require fuel mixing. It'd be like putting diesel in my gasoline car.
It is equipped with Stihl's 4-mix engine which combines the advantages of both 2-stroke and 4-stroke engines whilst still running off a fuel-oil mix.
Whipper Snippers
Everyone has their own name for what it’s called. Ha! Personally I call it a Weed whacker. Looks like I missed another term for it!
@@douglaslawncare2843 I usually call it a weed whacker too.
Ha! Maybe I will start calling it Whipper Snippers though. Ha!
Go Broncos. I have property south of the dragstrip on 131. Nice review 👍🏻
My wife is WMU alumni
Nice! Most people think it’s for the Denver Broncos! Ha! My brother in law played tennis there and multiple family members graduated form there. I root for them every time! (Other than when they play UofM!) Go blue!
stihl's trimmers are very easy to control. 98% of the time I never run mine over a third throttle. no need to run half or full throttle unless in a wide open field. even then i dont like doing that because anything it throws its going to throw harder. Learn how to control the throttle makes everything better
The 94r is very easy to control. I love that machine!
Witch one do you recommend for an acre property
I’d chose the 94r every time
Why doesn’t still tell people which is 2 and 4 stroke? I’ve studied these a lot and even have a Stihl book. I most definitely want. 2 stroke! No valves and double the power
Your right. I’m not sure why they don’t. Just go into your local stihl deal though and they will be able to show you.

I have several 4-mixes, and while I like their powerband - Sithl's engineering sucks. Perhaps I shouldn't expect more than 4-5 years out of modern stuff. The gas tank is too small on the 4-mixes (its not a saddle, but only on one side), and valves need adjusting regularly. Once a small leak happens in any of the gaskets (especially bottom end), they don't run worth a crap. I liken them to a Porsche engine regarding design / maintenance. The two strokes seem to be more robust by their nature and take more abuse. Just my take, as I'm moving away from 4-mix. All the complexity of 4-stroke, coupled with the lubricating limitations of a 2 stroke. If they were a real 4-stroke with a closed sump design, like a Honda, maybe I'd reconsider. All my next machines are 94r's.
I love the 94r! It’s the only trimmer that I have used this year. My 91r right now is just being used as a back up.
@@douglaslawncare2843 Yeahh, just sold my last 90 and 130 and got two 94r's today. You only really need the 130 if you run a pole pruner with a bunch of extensions. Don't miss the 4 mixes at all.
Can I have the Stihl FS 94r please
Sure. Contact your dealer… 😂
Can I have the Stihl FS 91
Don’t waste your time with a 91! Boat anchor! 94r 111rx only way to go!
You should watch this video. Definitely not a boat anchor! Your correct that the 111rx is a beast but don’t get me wrong, the 91r can hold its own. Thanks for watching!

Can't you just get something to take out the ethanol. I think its called flex fuel or something but one bottle does a good bit
Echo for trimmers.
I have been told Echo and Shindawa are made in the same factory/same owner. But if your after a trimmer for commercial use Shindawa 👍👍 I have used Stihl for years and never looked at other brands, feels like me eyes are open now.
If I had to choose between the Stihl FS91 or the FS94, and I could only pick one or the other, I would choose Honda.
I didn’t know they made a commercial trimmer.
I run Honda’s 35cc VersAttach system. Honda claims it’s commercial grade, but that’s a highly subjective, equivocal marketing distinction. All I know is that it’s an absolute beast, and is as quiet as a sewing machine.
i have a 20+ year old honda umk 431 very heavy duty i use it to cut saplings
I can’t stand the awkward imbalance of 4 mix trimmers!
You comparing a 4 mix trimmer to a 2 cycle trimmer that's apple's to oranges
They are the two most common Stihl trimmer’s... People want to know the difference between the two. They are actually very comparable. Thanks for watching!
Are you so confused nam nams....
Using stihl oil will have you at your dealer more often it,s garbage. Echo red armor way better.
I’ve heard this alot
Wipe the snot off the tip of your nose next time before videoing
