Nothing worse than going to do something and not having the equipment start! I bought this trimmer because my Husqavarna purchased last year required a lot of pulls and I couldn’t get it started. I chose Echo because someone left one behind in a house I owned and after it sat for a few years it still fired right up. Unfortunately I gave it away. This trimmer started right up in a few pulls! Only change I would make is put heavier string in it.

Over the years I have owned several different brands of trimmers.The ECHo brand is the easiest starting and best all around that I have owned.

This model replaced the Gt 230 which was a good one except for the shaft problems it had.I. Think some in provement on that would be good. Thank you

It ‘s heavier than I am expected. I had to use different trimmer line, the one that came with the machine was so breakable.

Easy start, low vibration, good balance, relatively quiet, works well for edging. Uses .105 dia. line which by itself makes the purchase worth it. Could be lighter, gets a little heavy finishing up a large corner lot.

I’ve used this trimmer before. Not as good as the GT 230 curved shaft trimmer, which is no longer made, but it does the job.

The extended shaft makes it easier on the back when trimming. I am a 6’1″ guy and I am not having to hunch over anymore. I only wish it had a twist and edge like my old weedeater brand. Will have to get used to turning it upside down without moving handle when I edge the curbs.

I have always had good luck with Echo products and this one fits in that category. It is very easy to start and has plenty of power. A very nice product!

well made works great.

It cuts a nice path for trimming. When the spool was somewhat empty, probably another trim or two, the line would not feed. Messed around with it to see if it was hung up inside somewhere, nope. Just respooled new line and its been fine ever since. I bought it online and at 5’4″ its a little long for me. You need to hold the safety and the trigger at the same time and it gets a little cumbersome. Does it do a great job yes, would I have bought something a little smaller/shorter if I was in the store, yes.

Excellent trimmer, the speed feed is as good as advertised.
Laurie Cruickshank (verified owner) –
I returned this item. It was heavy and awkward to use. Went with the Milwaukee with battery
Myron Skiles (verified owner) –
As advertised, however, a bit unbalanced, I wish I had a strap to help hold the weight.p

Used it to trim grass along edges, worked well. Used it to trim some tough weeds along pasture fence line and again did well. Bit heavy, which I expected. Easy start and no problem changing the trimmer line. Would recommend.

Echo makes first class products. A few extra inches on the shaft make it easy to use without having to bend over. The new head makes reloading string almost ridiculously easy. Good product.

Very glad I purchased this trimmer. Powerful, quick and easy to handle. Great for tall stuff that you typically don’t mow.
