Just went through this exercise this weekend. I have historically treated string trimmers as disposable and bought the cheapest I could find. Moved out to the country and like to keep the fences clear a few times a summer and the cheap trimmers barely last a summer and generally do not have a straight shaft which is preferable for reaching under the fence farther. After spending ~$200 just 2 years ago on a Husqvarna (Lowes version)and having the shaft head go out, decided to try another step up. Bought a RedMax this weekend and probably ran it 4 hours Saturday going up and down about 1/3 of the fences. So far so good.
I think the lower priced units are not designed for continuous use so running them longer than an hour or so results in damage/reduced service. This RedMax has a grease zerk at the head so hoping that means something (assuming I remember to grease it up sometimes).
