High-quality product, the price corresponds to the quality.

Last year, my wife convinced me to create a beautiful landscape interior and sow a small plot of land near our private house with lawn grass. But in order for the grass to look well-groomed, it had to be regularly watered and trimmed. Then I bought this trimmer Stihl FS 38, it was recommended to us by specialists who developed landscape design in our yard. The trimmer is comfortable, compact and lightweight. It makes mowing grass a breeze. For half an hour, while playing, I cut a small piece of

Pros
  • convenient, compact, lightweight.
Cons
  • I don't see them

I was surprised by the quality for this price.

Bought just today after a long agony of choice, running around shopping and digging on the Internet. I immediately tried it at the dacha, the most positive impressions: it started up with a half kick, the noise is moderate, the power increases from refueling to refueling, obviously it rolls. Grass cuts easily, including weeds and raspberry stalks (it's a pity for raspberries, then I adapted). The sellers advised me to take a 2.4 mm line, although at face value 2.0 mm. Really cuts better, lasts…

Pros
  • Light, powerful, resourceful, maneuverable.
Cons
  • No belt

In a word, this is a thing that I personally liked. One gets the feeling that everyone seems to be writing reviews about the same model, but as if about different ones, this may be true because I assume fs 38 are somewhat different from each other. Before buying, consult and read the characteristics. Here they write fishing line less than 2 mm, I have 2.4 mm and there are additional plastic nozzles.

Pros
  • In order to understand what kind of thing this is, you need to purchase it and use it. A good thing . Very light and easy to handle and weight, comfortable, you can mow the grass in hard-to-reach places, that is, on outstretched arms, the grass sweeps at once and even thick. The main proportions with fuel and oil should be observed only native oil. Yes, my wife takes it and calmly mows it without any strain. All in all a good trimmer. Try it yourself.
Cons
  • So far no complaints. And that the belt is not included, so it is not really needed, but who needs it, you can buy it separately, I think it is not expensive.

The product is terrible, much below my expectations.

I bought this mno to help a wheeled lawn mower for maneuvering along a fence, foundation, alpine slide and around plants. In order to mow something, only at full throttle!, Pts burrows in the grass. weak motor. After 15 minutes of work, the hands fall off from tension and strong vibration. And now the most important thing is that the reel does not throw out the fishing line, no matter how I tried to defeat it, it didn’t work out either a marriage or such an unsuccessful design. The handle had…

Pros
  • Runs, easy.
Cons
  • Everything else is a total disappointment.

I am satisfied, the purchase is quite successful.

The trimmer is not mine, they asked them to mow 3 times a plot of 30 acres. Mows cleanly, light but uncomfortable. Short and uncomfortable handles. There is enough power for grass, but the disk will not pull. Compared to my Chinese champion 1.9ls - just a kid. For 9 years, relatives have changed only candles, the air filter is all in oil, the fuel filter has not been changed either. I decided to do something to him, relatives asked to be taken to the service. I feel that this is the calm of…

Pros
  • Relatives have been using it for 9 years, nothing has changed. )))))) Works basically without problems. The head hasn't changed since the new one!
Cons
  • Short rod, I personally feel uncomfortable to mow them. The handle is also uncomfortable. The first thing that came to mind was to put a bar from FS 55 and a different belt, like the Chinese.

Terrible quality, wasted money.

We bought a trimmer in 2022, mowed 2-3 times over the summer at the dacha, a plot of three to four acres. In 2022, they replaced the carburetor (moreover, they repaired it for 2 MONTHS, they paid 3000 for it !) they received it from repair in August, after that they mowed it once. Now we got it out of the garage - it doesn't work again! The service said that you need to change the carburetor again, for this - again 3500! Moreover, we always bought gasoline at a gas station, and oil - along with

Pros
  • -Easy -Comfortable
Cons
  • - Flimsy stuffing

Best price for this product, will buy more!

I bought the trimmer in June 2022, it has already worked for 4 seasons, there were problems with starting, but after adjusting the carburetor according to the instructions, they disappeared, now it starts from the first or second derg, AI-92 gasoline. I have a large plot and different grasses grow on it from lawn to wormwood and nettles with raspberries, so I bought a second reel with plastic knives, hard stems (including last year's raspberries) and it mows deadwood much better, for soft and…

Pros
  • mows everything, there is a choice of mowing heads for different occasions
Cons
  • there are no obvious shortcomings, but a lot of really cut grass flies into the mower, for protection I use "mowing" clothes + a plastic shield that completely covers the face and throat. With high growth, the trimmer may turn out to be short, sometimes I find myself thinking that I am slightly bending down, about the support belt - it all depends on the strength and endurance of the mower, someone may need it

Great quality, did not expect at all for the price.

I have been using the FS38 lawn mower for the 5th summer. I bought it to replace an electric scythe, in which the electric motor burned out. Never failed, always easy to start (after pumping usually the first time). I try to use 92nd or 95th gasoline in proportion with Stihl oil 1 to 50. I don’t store the mixture for more than 1 month. For 6 acres, just right (I have about 300 square meters (half of the plot) planted with grass - it takes no more than 2 hours to mow. It even takes tall grass. I

Pros
  • Starts up great. Powerful enough. Light. No wires.
Cons
  • Not detected

Great quality, happy with it one hundred percent!

I bought a scythe calm FS 38 for cleaning grass on a personal plot. I was attracted by the low price combined with good German build quality. The power of the lawnmower is enough for me. It copes with cleaning small grass perfectly, I use only fishing line. The store recommended using only high-quality gasoline and branded "Shtilev" oil for the fuel mixture, which I use. There were no problems with starting the engine even after a long idle period. I recommend to all.

Pros
  • low price, good build quality
Cons
  • No

A good quality product, I rate this purchase perfectly.

The power of the mower is low and this affects its capabilities: if young raspberries (up to a meter) and tall (more than a meter) nettle somehow overpowers with fishing line, then it hopelessly passes before a meter-high burdock. With knives, the possibilities expand, but you still shouldn’t overestimate your strength - head blockages in this case will be frequent. On the other hand, it's really lightweight. I like the design of the mowing head, on which the grass does not wind at all, and…

Pros
  • Easy. Successful design of the head - it is not wrapped with grass; vibrates quite moderately (compared to Partner Colibri II, after which the hands "recovered" for at least an hour). Exhaust surprisingly (well, except for the obvious unfavorable wind) always remains somewhere beyond the reach of my nose
Cons
  • It makes a lot of noise - I work in noise-protective headphones, it's uncomfortable without them.

Thought it would be better, but overall not bad.

I use this scythe for the third season, for mowing a plot of 8 acres, as the grass grows, about once a month. The land is not ideal - pits, tubercles, in some places there are tree roots, etc. Grass, respectively, is also not always lawn. After the first use, I remember I was delighted, because. before that I used electric. Now I’m really thinking about acquiring a stronger machine, because this one copes with the tasks set, but it’s rather weak - the fishing line is less than a kopeck piece…

Pros
  • Price, easy start, reliability.
Cons
  • Low power, no belt included, poor protection against flying grass.

I just bought it and immediately went to the dacha, mowed two acres, whatever. The only thing I had to buy was a belt, a knife for hard grass, an additional fishing line, oil, a protective helmet, because the glasses somehow do not protect against flying grass. It's so cool, I liked it.

I also purchased this lawn mower on my own, choosing a small and not expensive one. I think that the FS 38 has enough engine power for small summer jobs. The scythe lies well in the hands, the back and legs do not get tired. It can be noted the low level of vibration, among analogues. The volume of the fuel tank is enough for me to work on a large area. I use high quality fuel. Candles are original. Never had any problems with the engine.

Pros
  • low noise, good ergonomics, easy to hold.
Cons
  • I won't mention special

Nice price, good quality.

I have been using this trimmer for more than 7 years, this year I bought a second one. I mow in season every week approx. 4 acres. The working head wears approx. for 1.5 seasons. Changed for 7 years: 1 time (I don’t know how it is called correctly) the part on which the head is put on, 1 time changed the flexible shaft and 1 time the candle. I soaked the muffler once, was clogged with soot and the trimmer did not develop full power (a consequence of not working at full throttle). This year…

Pros
  • Lightweight, comfortable, good start
Cons
  • Serious no, little things do not count

We have been using it for 7-8 years now. Mostly the wife mows, she copes with the weight. It mows perfectly, two spools have already been ground off, the third is on the way. Twice, out of stupidity, the shaft limit switch broke (it wound up a lot of grass, but instead of cleaning it, the wife pressed on the gas). Forces the scythe to deep overheating, this is when the scythe no longer stalls when turned off with the button. From the very beginning there were problems with winding - the wife…

Pros
  • Quality, service centers in almost every village, engine life and more. others
Cons
  • Price. There is not enough belt in the kit, it seems not so expensive. Noise (as a disadvantage of all gasoline trimmers).

The best price for such a product, I will buy more!

Acquired for a summer residence. Was very pleased. Before that there was a "Partner" unit with Horns. It seemed that the power is the same. Although the calm at idle works confidently and the "stop" occurs gently. What can not be said about the Partner. The latter has a metallic sound when it stops and it is very difficult to start. Although it may just be that I was just unlucky with the unit.

Pros
  • Highly resourceful, Lightweight, reliable. Easy to manage Even the wife can handle it
Cons
  • A very thin fishing line, if you mow weeds, it quickly ends.

The item is of good quality, there is only one minor defect.

I myself give the cat to my neighbors - in the tail and in the mane, although the trimer is not quite ready for this. 1) The hexagon on which the coil is put on (drilled through and riveted with a nail.) 2) Having unscrewed the leather protection (the cable was lubricated and stuffed 150-150 grams into the rod) - the rod does not heat up. After 15 years of operation, I replaced the ignition coil and welded a washer on the inner side of the gearbox bushing, since the native one was worn out and…

Pros
  • I have been using since 2022.
Cons
  • Bushing - reducer is weak.

The trimmer has been in operation for the seventh season, it is used mercilessly, I mow grass from lawn to one and a half meters, I bought it in a place with an oblique head with knives, to be honest I didn’t really like it, the fishing line is still better, from maintenance, replacing the fuel filter once a season, cleaning the air, tip lubrication, changed two heads. This summer, the trimer broke down, well, I thought everything, so my immortal stiletto died, I began to look, the spark…

Pros
  • Lightweight, comfortable, reliable and inexpensive, very good head.
Cons
  • Haven't found it in 6 years.

1) mowed once every two, three weeks (the grass did not have time to grow) about 9 acres from June to September from the year net 06 net 07. at the end of the 11 season, the "bold" fell off on which the fishing line is attached along with a flexible shaft, because I removed the protection was not tightened securely enough, the internal parts are attached to the cator. Or rather, I periodically tightened it twice a season. 2) It used to not start when the oil was poured.

Pros
  • simplicity and reliability
Cons
  • didn't notice
