on the whole i am satisfied with the performance of the machine. i own quite a few ECHO machines and this one fits pattern of good service. the only problem is this one is just a bit clumsy in use; seems somehow off balance in ant but a straight on, flat cutting position. over all–GOOD.

Great product. Not too heavy and well balanced. Saved back stress and meets all expectations.

I got this hedge trimmer because I hated dragging around extension cords for my electric hedge trimmer. I decided on the Echo brand after having a good experience with the Echo blower I had purchased. The Echo SHC-225S proved to be the right size for me. It is actually more comfortable to hold and use than the electric trimmer I had. The balance is good and it has no problem trimming any of the bushes I had. The price seemed kind of steep, but I am happy with the purchase and would do it again.

Great piece of kit. Used it to trim five large evergreens. Worked like a charm and not too heavy for a 70-year-old. I like it

I bought this edger to do my own bushes but I wish it where sharper. Some bushes you have to go over repeatedly. The gas tank is a bit small so you have to refill often. On the other hand it is light and maneuvering is easy. It’s quite loud so I use ear protection. I probably should have purchased the SHC-266.

I purchased this unit earlier this spring, as a replacement for an Echo shaft hedge clipper I previously owned for over 10 yrs and it was retired at the end of last summer…As with my previous unit, I like the extended reach of this model, as I have one hedge row that is over 100 yds long, and 8 to 10 feet high, and I find this unit perfect for this job, as well as all the other shrubs surrounding my home!I own two other Echo products (chain saw, & weed trimmer) , and the Echo brand proves to not only be very reliable, but great value for the money as well !

I purchased my ECHO hedge trimmer in the month of September 2015. To date I have used the trimmers on approximately 20 jobs. I have been extremely satisfied with the results, as well as my customers. The trimmers are well balanced and because of their length they make my job a heck of a lot easier. I have owned and operated other brands of trimmers and these by far have with held the beating of a commercial user. Thanks for an awesome tool.

I’m 72 years old and I have big Holly Bushes. Over 6 feet tall. I trimmed all my bushes in half the time it took with my old corded trimmer. I love it.And it’s lighter than most of the battery powered trimmers. I already recommended it to the gentleman I have mow my lawn. He really liked it and will probably buy one for himself. Buy it. You wont be sorry.
