Keeping them razor sharp and not doing any cuts near the ground seems to be key to maintaining their productivity.

Looked at the Stihl's but for very minimal use couldn't justify. Have gone Nordic, $370 including 2 x 4amp batteries and charger with 5 years warranty on skin plus from a large retailer which maybe still here in a couple of years.
