This my second Echo trimmer. As usual, is so easy to operate, other than getting used to the longer length and weight from my previous model, which lasted 10 years. The power and the new less vibration is great. Each of my sons uses Echo for their yards. You can always depend on Echo tools.

I had previous experience with this trimmer, but the reason why I gave it 4 stars rather than 5 stars is because I found the process to get the trimmer “loaded” with string the first time confusing. The directions in the manual did not match what I did to get it to work properly. After that, love it

Excellent product.

This trimmer started and ran great. It is light weight and well balanced. The problem is it is a terrible fit for someone who is left handed. The deflector can not be adjusted and all debris is thrown on the operator. After 10 minutes my legs were covered with debris. Very dangerous for someone who operates it left handed. I used it for a total of about 30 minutes before deciding to return it I returned it to my local Home Depot and was given a prompt refund

Great so far. I have only used it 3 times now but it is the most comfortable to use trimmer I have owned, and at 53 I have owned several, from gas to corded to cordless. It is very easy on my back, and I have had back problems since I was a teenager.It starts easily and I am hoping it stays that way for years to come. It has more than enough power to trim around my house and my mother’s house.

My old Echo GT-2400 lasted 24 years. I like this new one GT-225L works great. I have three Echo’s this one and a back pack blower + chain saw. My two sons have Echo’s and very happy with them.

It is a little heavier than I like but well made and easy to use. Have not put new trimmer string in yet and am looking forward to the new method where you just put in….after cutting out the length recommended. Had to take the end cap off cause the string was not out of one hole….easy to get off but not easy to put back on…..course it took awhile before I learned to put the old one back on right.

I bought this to take the place of a battery powered one I had and I love it.

I’m 6′ tall and was very happy I went with this long shaft trimmer over the standard length. I switched from a straight shaft and so far this is much more comfortable to use. I’m no longer sore when I finish trimming my half acre property.

Lives up to the stores advice that sold it to me. I have had no problems with it.

Awesome trimmer. Worth every penny. I have had other Echo products in the past and this is just what I have come to expect from Echo.

works good but could have better balance.

I bought this product about a month ago and it seems great and cuts very nice. found it easy to start.
Ben Borer (verified owner) –
Have had for a month and works great. Really like the longer shaft, good for taller people. Like the line load concept. Much easier than my older weed wacker, but have not actually tried yet

Starts easy and well balanced
Deshawn Schroeder (verified owner) –
It lacks power. Echo needed to give it 5cc to 10cc more engine. Doesn’t start as good or have as much power as my 6 year old yard man, but because it has a longer than average shaft it is easier on the back and left arm The curved shaft also allows for better control.

I’m 6’3″ and my only wish was that this extra length model was a couple inches longer, though if you are tall this model feels much better than the standard length. It idles and runs very smooth straight out of the box. It is a bit quieter than the other couple trimmers I have had to compare to, and my neighbor commented on how quiet it is from a distance. Overall very satisfied with this product and it feels like it will give several good years of service as long as stored properly and not using ethanol fuels.
