Purchased this a month ago and have used it several times. I finally upgraded from an older trimmer and cannot believe how good a job this one does in comparison. Starts easy, cuts through things with ease. Very happy with my purchase.

Been kicking around what trimmer to buy. Read the reviews . I have only about 10 boxwoods and a few other plants to take care of BUT I also do some side jobs for family and friends. So very happy I went with the SHC-225S. First job I did were hedges that hadn’t been touched in years. Didn’t take long to get them back into shape. Not a lot of bending over or reaching overhead.Makes it easier to shape. Best of all no cord to cut through and plenty of power. Very happy with the purchase

I have a echo backpack and weed trimmer, and now a shc 225s hedge trimmer, i just used the trimmer and it performed great. I love how easy they start, with usually only 2 pulls, even when cold.

Starts well and cuts well but not very ergonomic, it takes some getting used to.

Just bought unit and have used it only a few times. Went thru hedges like hot knife going thru butter. Great unit, well balanced and not overly heavy. Easy to handle and way better than my electric hedge clippers.

It’ll do
Carmel Graham (verified owner) –
Starts right up–not that heavy—easy to use and easy to clean–ONLY thing it doesn’t do – is the actual work all by itself! WE LOVE IT!

As usual Echo products are great. However, it is not as well balanced as it should be. I also have the longer version of this machine and it is much better balanced.

Bought the SHC-225S a few weeks back, very happy with this trimmer. It has some reach & also can use it up near the house, because it’s not too bulky. It also starts easily, no issues there, and a well built unit. Will be looking at more Echo products. Thanks.

Everything i expected. Works like a charm

the trimmer works well for the purpose it was purchased for. I do feel the claim it can cut one inch diameter branches is a bit of an overstatement, however it is a big improvement over my electric trimmer.

Used 4 times, and the reach is just right. Love the excellent cutting and smooth action
