The product is excellent. Why did I wait 10 days for delivery when you had them in the store? The N. E. Store is very poorly managed!

I love my new Echo trimmer. We have been Echo fan for many years and this new one replaces my old one. I find it to be a little bit lighter which makes it easier to use. The gas tank is a little smaller than the old one (one reason it is lighter no doubt), but big enough. Love the new head that can be rewound without removing the cover.

This hedger works quite well and was an absolute necessity for me to reach the top of the trees I need to trim without getting on a ladder. A great product!

Excellent trimmer…the extra length is perfect for those taller than 5’10” and eliminates the lower back pain I used to experience with the shorter version. Easy to start, easy to re-load…very satisfied!

Fired up right out of box. Only used for a week but appears to be solid trimmer

So far so good. Way better than the standard curved shaft models that are too short for taller people (I am 6′ 2″). Saves the back pain from bending over and I love the bump feed and quick change line system, makes changing line so, so much easier! Will never go back to the old wind-up systems. Did not give it 5 stars since I am having trouble getting used to the power, just can not quite control the cutting position do to the kickback/thrust load of the head. We will see if I can adapt.

I had some trouble with the line “bump” feed at the start. The motor runs strong. Have used the trimmer for about 12 hrs so far, cuts thru heavy grass and weeds. I am satisfied so far and would recommend purchasing in the future.

Havent had it long but very pleased. I swear by echo. I have had a blower from echo for over 10 yrs. Still runs great.

I swear by Echo products. This gas trimmer is very quit, yet powerful. I love the easiness of the line feed. Starts right up on the first or second pull. Highly recommend this product.

I bought this model to replace an older Echo GT–2000. I like the way the cutting line loads on the bump-head, nice and simple, only takes a couple of minutes. I like the fact that the shaft is longer than the standard GT-225, no need to stoop over when edging, no back aches! Echo is really easy to service and the reliability is excellent in my experience,

Excellent quality easy start smooth running machine love the anti vibration feature can’t go wrong with echo.

I was worried that I wouldn’t be happy with any other trimmer after my 10+ year old Craftsman bit the dust. BUT – this Echo is going to do just fine! It is light weight, and has plenty of power. I also really like the string loading system. I can hardly wait to use it again (being that winter is here and not much trimming is needed right now.)
Abe Carter (verified owner) –
Great feeling trimmer, love the grip. Plenty of power and super easy to start. Definitely recommend!

Looked for a curved shaft that could replace an older commercial curved shaft and found one. Pleased with the purchase!

This new 2016 ECHO 225L weedwhip was recommended by Popular Mechanics magazine which gave it a 5 Star rating. After doing research my decision was made and Home Depot shipped the item to my local store ASAP.Easy to use, nice balance, easier to start and lots of power.I’ve had many good experiences with Home Depot and this purchase was another one.

Bought it a month ago it’s a lot lighter than my old weed eater and has a lot of power. I love the new head very easy to reload string.
