I have one of these and I use for my lawn care business and I service around 15-20 residential properties a day and it’s is 4 years old and faded from the sun but still runs and operates like new. And, no valves to adjust like Stihl

I've had an Echo 225 trimmer for (10) years , always starts, never had it in for service ! Great trimmer ! ... Just Buy It ! The BEST starters are ECHO equipment, and HONDA engines, the rest can be temperamental at times !

I bought this exact trimmer last month...BEST TRIMMER I'VE EVER USED.... I've used Stihl,Troybilt,Husqvarna and several cheap brands. It's balanced real well...and the auto load trim line head is the best thing ever created on a trimmer...I cut string about 6ft and slide it thru and twist the head until it is loaded up...ITS THAT SIMPLE...I LOVE THIS weed trimmer. Plus a 5 year warranty..cant beat that!!!!!!

After countless carburetor problems with higher end trimmers I have found that Echo trimmers from Home Depot are a better value for my lawn care company. Since making the switch, I haven't had to deal with the many issues the other brands were giving us.

I always break in new 2 stroke equipment. When I got mine brand new, the gear head was a little tight at first, but as you slowly trim with it, it will break in. Same with the motor, the rings need to break in

One of the companies I own is a lawn service. We do commercial and residential. We have 6 golf courses etc. Echo is the best bang for your buck by far!

I bought one a few weeks ago off of Craigslist in like new condition for $100. and it's the best trimmer I've owned.Gotta use better than Echo trimmer line though. I use Copper Head trimmer line and it last longer and stays level when turning full RPM's.

I love this guy he’s pretty honest

What would be your choice of edger, echo or ...i like it to be light weight and easy to use. I appreciate your input

I’m buying one right now. Thanks for the video.

You can mix the echo oil and the gas together.

We also have another one that is somehow lasting a little bit longer, but we haven’t really used it much

I have one and the first time I used it about 3 weeks ago it started right up got it out today and it won’t start I’ve tried just about everything except new plug.

That seals the deal. I'm want one of those!!!!

Cześć 🙂🖐 czy ten trymer poradzi sobie z jeszcze większą i grubsza trawa? Pozdrawiam

So just when from sthl 131 to the echo just as powerful and wayyy lighter love it

Would help if you show what you do with your left hand when pulling the cord.

i just got one of these from mowers direct and the head isnt spinning, it starts and run but no head spin..... anyone have a clue?

Just bought one today. Thanks for the video.

What is a good commercial exho edgers. What numbers does it start

I woulda let it get warm then let it completely cool till cold so rings can seat a little better...before goin full into it.

Literally just bought tbis put in fhe 50:1 gas, primed it pump button, put it on cold start, moved rhte switch to the on position, and pulled it 5 to 6 times and....IT WON'T START 😡

My property has weeds like in your video and I bought the ECHO SRM-225 at the end of summer, its way better than the Troy Bilt I was using. I still have the MTD because of the brush cutter attachment, the only reason to keep a POS trimmer.

Nice trimmer. (I own the curved shaft version, and it's reach limited. Straight shaft's best: learned the hard way). Thank you for making & posting this video. You should think about wearing a dust mask when trimming such amounts of grass & weeds (pollen & dust: no no for the lungs).

Thank you for the great video! Very informative and I feel I can use it with confidence!

Found one on the side of the road, hopefully I'll get it going gonna try and clean the carb up maybe that'll do the trick, handle is missing only $20 on Amazon

Probably a dumb question but I'm a newbie! Just bought this trimmer and on the first trim the string broke on me. How do you get more to feed? My previous one automatically fed out and it doesn't seem like this one has that feature?

Bump the head on the grass while it's running, and it'll release the spool ratchet mechanism one notch, and feed out a small length. You'll hear the sound change from the longer length. Don't bump it too many times or it'll just waste string, because the guard cuts off any excess.

Nice review.. Thanks!

I think you just save me some money. I was going to get the PAS 2620 with a 25cc engine as I thought the SRM225 with the 21cc Would be under powered. But it looks just. Has there ever been a situation where you wish you had a larger engine? Thank you for your time.

Robert Clark I'm headed to home depot right now.

I had a model older than this one that I love. My sister has difficulty with tools that are too heavy and she actually loved mine and found it easy to use kzread.infoUgkx_rBCFuDW1zD6blTGhLkvAkxU657uR_lG . This is a newer model but was even lighter which she really appreciates. She enjoys it and I no longer have to go to her house to trim as she can handle it fine. Haven't used it enough to comment on the battery life but lithium batteries last longer than the old style. Being cordless makes it easy to trim the far edges of the property. The entire yard can be trimmed with one charged battery.

Actually as a lawn care pro, the shaft doesn't create nor take away power. That's all in the motor guy!

I've been using Stihl for 5 years. I recently bought a 94r which is lightweight and has just enough power for everyday trimming. I'm considering this trimmer but can't find any specs on the horsepower rating. Do you know what it is? If not, what do you think of the power? It may seem insignificant, but 2 or 3 tenths of a horsepower rating makes a big difference with small engines. Also, solid drive shaft or flex?

What direction does the head spin if you are looking down the shaft? I have looked for over a month at this and the Stihl FS 56 Rc-e.
