Stihl
Reviews and Complaints
If you need any part, good luck.
Twice I've needed a part that broke. It can take a couple months to receive it. My weed eater had a broken part, and based on my last experience with a broken part, it can take up to and maybe more than two weeks.
My weeds are high and I guess they expect you to buy a new one?
User's recommendation: Beware
Bought 3 stihl weed eaters got them home not a one would spin fast enough to cut weeds
They tell people they are made in the USA which is a lie they are made in China n Japan and assembled here . When I bought those weed eaters and they wouldn't hardly run I took them to the place I bought them from and the guy tried for an hour to adjust the carb and he couldn't get them to do anything.
Stilh is now made put of plastic even some of the beri is are plastic. I've sealed with stilh for 50 years they use to be good now a piece of junk that false advertises
User's recommendation: Don't buy
Complaint
Second time Ive taken my chainsaw in for a part overheating and breaking the chain tightener the vendor decided to sharpen the blade and supposedly straighten the bar and wants to charge me $60 was never discussed. Was only there for the repair under the warranty and then complained about how they were not being paid for what they really did Totaling $190 very unprofessional and still waiting to find out the results before picking up my chainsaw from customer service
- Easy to purchase with warranty
- Keeps breaking
Preferred solution: Full refund

Verified Reviewer | Tioga, New YorkSo bad, cheap plastic valves parts in supposed contractor grade rb600 pressure washer!
Stopped pumping. Cheap plastic valves broke under warranty Stihl refused to cover, said unit was frozen, it was stored in Gainesville Florida.
Joe Signs Power and Stihl Tech playing games passing responsibility. Customer service is in India, don't hold your breath if you think they stand behind their low grade equipment.
- Overpriced
- Cheap plastic pump valves
Preferred solution: Full refund

Attachment for combi system went up 110 dollars over night you either give me that price or I will never buy a Stihl product again
Gouging price increase rediculous amount honor the price before the increase or kiss Stihl good bye . Stihl does not offer a live person to talk to in customer service another reason to not purchase a Stihl . Talk to the dealer and their comment was Stihl has not turned out to be the company they started out being and they are evaluating their continued sales of Stihl products
User's recommendation: Don’t buy Stihl combo system
