Can anyone recommend a good brushcutter?

[Pootle]

We're looking to buy a petrol brushcutter and, having just had to take a week old one back to the shop because it wasn't starting and was leaking oil when it finally did get going, I wondered whether anyone could recommend one?

It doesn't have to be massively heavy duty - but interchangeable heads (ie: strimmer line and brushcutter blade) would be useful. We can't spend too much on it - although I'm sure OH would like to! He's been eyeing up the Stihl FS45 and the FS55 - what are they like?

Help please!

Thanks.

Stihl has a good reputation

We have a Stihl - love it!
It is great and we would be stuck without it. You can get all sorts of blades to go with it and it does everything (except the washing up)
