Stihl GB Opiniões 

Avoid this mower it is useless. I unfortunately purchased this in January but didn't use it for various reasons until May. On first use the grass was high so the fact that the battery lasted less than 10 mins and the cut was very poor, and it kept cutting out, while bad I accepted it due to the conditions. However when after 7 recharges to cut a medium sized lawn (which wasn't the flatest or have the best quality grass on it) I decided to cut it again, firstly it wouldn't cut at the level I wanted continually cutting out, then on raising it, it again kept cutting out and the battery life only lasted 10 mins.
I'm now left with a very expensive piece of unusable junk I expected a lot more from Stihl sadly disappointed

spent £230 plus on the blower attachment for the combi tool.
barely lasted 18 months. front end cowl lost its lugs and fell off then it rattled itself to pieces.
contacted Stilh UK who have ignored my emails

Reported an issue with a battery. Received an automated response saying Stihl can’t help - there was a space in the response for noting the issue which was even left blank. I think I have made my last purchase at Stihl.

Emailed Stihl re a catcher blade for my hedge trimmer gave model number etc
I ordered on line the part number they gave me for for the relevant part
When I received the recommend part it was 50cm long not 60cm the length off the blade on my trimmer
I had a catch on my long reach Stihl hedge trimmer the same as the one they recommended so I tried fitting that to the machine with a struggle it went on but didn’t sit well so went to remove it had to knock it off with a rubber mallet
All though they say it’s the recommended part
when it’s 10cm short (BODGE) so even they have joined the corner cutting manufacturers

Great quality tools, designed for a range of users and tasks. The website makes it easy to understand what tools would suit you for your task, with good product descriptions and background articles and guidance as well.

The site is great, as are the products. The site allows filtering and sorting to find the exact product I need. Also like the ability to see each product manual to check some of the details.

If you’re reading this please do not waste any money on the pressure washers. The hose bursts after about 10 hours use, I’ve had 3 in the last year and they’re pathetic

Bought the Stihl 235.1 lawnmower as a kit, including the AK20 battery and charger. It arrived well packaged, but I found attaching the lower arms to the body quite difficult. The supplied Allen key had a hexagonal head to fit the screws, but it was awkward to use and kept slipping unless I applied a lot of pressure while turning. Once that part was done, the rest of the assembly was reasonably straightforward.
As you would expect from Stihl products, the plastic body felt solid and well made. I used the mower on two occasions and was really impressed with the battery performance. It handled both the front and back lawns, taking about 25 minutes in total, and still had 3 of the 4 charging lights lit afterwards.
The big problem came on the third use, when the front right-hand wheel suddenly fell off. It took me 15 minutes on my hands and knees to find a small cap clip that fitted onto the axle. I pushed it back on, but it promptly fell off again. I contacted both Ron Smith (supplier) and Stihl to report the problem. Ron Smith ordered a new clip for me, which I hope will stay on this time, although it does look like a weakness or possible design fault. After 5 days I had still heard nothing back from Stihl, which I found to be very poor customer service, so buyers should be aware.
Update 15th May 2026
Contacted by Stihl via email and informed they were sending 2 clamps to fit to the end of the axle - one to use and one spare (only cost 53p each). Nightmare fitting it to the axle as I presume its done by machine at the factory. Its on now, but the wheel is pointing at a bit of an angle but it still works and hasn't fallen off yet.
Normally I review the score but in this case going to leave it at 2 stars.

I am new to Stihl products and recently bought a Stihl electric mower RMA 448 V direct from Stihl, just before the Easter weekend, and from ordering through to delivery the whole process went very smoothly. Unfortunately, the mower arrived damaged in transit, the cutting height lever was jammed and couldn’t be adjusted.

We contacted customer services, and Dan handled everything quickly and professionally. He arranged a replacement straight away and organised the collection of the damaged mower with no hassle at all.

Excellent communication and genuinely first-class customer service. Problems can happen during delivery, but it’s how a company responds that matters, and Stihl were outstanding throughout. Very pleased with the experience and would happily recommend them.

I am longstanding customer of STIHL, and wanted to say what a fantastic range of top quality products they have proved to be.
Mainly I have the AP range of Lawmmower, Strimmer, Hedgetrimmer and chainsaw. They have been flawless and very easy to use.
Prior to the battery kit my partner rarely would use it. Now however we share the grass cutting due to the simple starting and low noise.

Stihl 105 chipper shredder very poor. Difficult to feed material in and machine very slow cutting and prone to jamming.
Larger branches don't get pulled on but need to be constantly pushed. Any leaves on branch stop branch being pushed in. Any branch over about 20mm dia is not cut but pushed to one side of cutting disc and when about 3 similar branches are at side machine jams. Smaller loose material cannot be fed in because of cutting guards .

Excellent website - easy to navigate, swift and efficient

Ordered product on a Friday, it was delivered the following Monday, unfortunately no tracking information was provided and it was delivered to dealer rather than me due to courier error. Obviously initial communication was missing, courier made a mistake and I knew nothing until contacting customer service on the Wednesday. However very pleased with the speed of resolution by customer service and even courier explained his error when product eventually delivered to me on Friday. Overall Stihl did well to resolve the issue.

Bought a lawnmower RMA235 yesterday at Altons, assembled it, wheel clip was faulty, supposed to be pre-assembled, wheel flew off during use.

Really disappointed with my Stihl RT 5127 ZL ride-on mower. I purchased it less than three years ago and it’s only done 41 hours, yet I’ve had nothing but issues.

The battery doesn’t hold charge, belts have already snapped, and most recently the blades are intermittently not spinning at all—which makes it pretty unreliable when you actually need it. For a machine at this price point, I expected far better durability and performance.

What’s frustrating is that I did my homework before buying and chose Stihl because of their reputation for quality.

On a positive note, I also own a Stihl split shaft multi-tool with various attachments, and that has been absolutely outstanding—reliable, powerful, and exactly what I expected from the brand.

Unfortunately, my experience with the ride-on mower has been the complete opposite.

The tools provided to assemble your products are awful. If you know, you know. That rubbish Allen key.

First use of my new Stihl GHE 250 Electric Garden Shredder and it jammed feed after feed for laurel branches between 20mm and 30mm even though I removed every side shoot. Not a good start and if my call to them isn't positive I'll be arranging collection/return and I'll go back to my trusty previous brand.

Easy to find what I needed and was delivered quickly

After an eternity of umming and Rrring looking at all my options on a extendable hedge trimmer I plumbed for a Sthil Battery 86 HLA.£700 (excl battery) is trust me alot of money for me from my local Horsham dealer in Town. The very last thing I expected was a fault after only a max of 10 working hours of use. But everybody has a Sthil I saw and here I am with the industry's
No 1 dependable ?? make not working because a sensor or wiring is cutting it out on its adjustable elbow joint.
So off I have to trot with my dysfunctional Hedge trimmer.... COULD this be a reoccurring issue ? after reading some online reports....NB....so fingers crossed I maybe back to work when rectified.
Fixed by Dealer,so will report on later.

Genius company with awsome products. Buying is quick and straightforward and is delivered quickly.
