Our home is on one acre lot, with a great deal of plants in our garden area. Among the plants, we have a total of 105 azaleas, that we should trim at the end of the flowering season. To do said trimming, we purchased the Shaft Hedge Clipper 225/S and we are very pleased with the performance of this tool. It is easy to use and it has worked very well.

Attacks hedges & bush, alike, like a razor trims a beard!

While, powerful, it is well balanced. Easy to use because it has the power to cut through dense material that my other trimmer would bog down with. After using an Echo chainsaw for several years, buying an Echo trimmer was an easy decision. Not cheap, but you get your moneys worth and then some.

I’ve bought my trimmers when they first came available and not had one problem. The blades stay sharp and I do grease the head often as well spray W D 40 on the blades before usage. I winterize it when done for season so it will start right up in the spring. I take very good care of them and they in return have made me a lot of money. I HIGHLY recommend the trimmers.

While I was initially hesitant to make what seemed to be a sizeable investment in a gas powered trimmer, I am now very happy not only that I made the investment but also that I selected the Echo SHC-225. Very easy to use and unbelievably easy to start. Ideal both for manicuring hedges as well as attacking moderate brush. Dispensing with electric cords is a real time saver. Pleased I bought this Echo model.

I bought the hedger about 3 weeks ago used to replace my corded one. Man this thing will cut. Couldn’t be more satisfied Easy start and powerful. Echo is a great machine I also have their pole saw grass trimmer and chain saw. Very dependable. Thank you Echo

It performs very well. It would be very smart if you would slant it about 3 degrees so it’s not completely straight and your body doesn’t have to be so crooked

This trimmer does everything that I expected it to do when I bought it. It was able to cut up to 1″ diameter branches, but I had to attack the branch from both sides. The weight is minimal, but I will say cutting for an hour is long enough to make your arms tired. All in all though, fantastic piece of equipment and you will not regret this purchase.

This new ECHO 21 in. 21.2cc Gas 2-Stroke Cycle Hedge Trimmer is the best tool I’ve purchased in a long while…I previously had an electric trimmer and it had a lot of difficulty trimming even small bushes without getting jammed…The Echo turned a 4-hour job into a 30-minute job.I bought the model with the long handle hoping that it would allow me to have a better view of the bushes as I was trimming (my old one had a short handle and didn’t allow a “big picture” view to see if I was making a level cut across the top)…But, honestly, after I placed the order, I wondered if the long handle might make the trimmer heavy and a bit unwieldy…Once I cranked it up and grabbed the trimmer with both hands it was well-balanced and was not heavy in the slightest.I also found that I no longer need a ladder to do my trimming, another nice surprise…This thing has surpassed my expectations!…A bit pricey, but I’m learning that, most of the time, you get what you pay for…If you pay for a consumer grade tool, you’ll get consumer grade quality and, along with it, a lot of frustration…Now, I always buy commercial grade tools.
