I bought this a month ago to clear brush on a large, very steep hill. I previously had a cheaper, curved shaft trimmer that I had put a blade on. Although it worked somewhat, it eventually broke the flexible shaft. If you are going to use a cutting blade, you need a straight shaft like my new Echo. The blade easily goes thru 2 inch sumac, and other small trees, as well as doing a fine job on weeds.

I am a 63 year old woman – 5 ft- and I use this for hiking trail maintenance. It starts right up in all conditions. It’s very lightweight- I once carried it 2 miles to my car from our trail work site. Buy this and you will not be disappointed

I’ve had my Echo SRM-225U for two years and I’m very happy with it. It’s easy to start, idles nicely and cuts well. It’s light weight and between the strap and handlebar setup, it saves my hands a lot of vibration and holding my wrist in one spot. I use it daily to keep over 5 acres manicured.

i just got mine today and tried both typs of heads both work great and its light enough that it can be used for hours. If it lasts like my other echo equipment then there wont be anything to complain about. The only complaint i have is the hom depot dosnt carry replacement blades.Mabey they will stock them in the future..

As a string trimmer and saw blade, the unit is very good. But to cut weed growth like runners, a scythe (as in a hedge trimmer) is necessary.

I recently ordered the Echo 17 in. 21.2 cc gas, brush cutter and it arrived fast. All the parts were there, including goggles (which were a nice touch)!I have used it three times since I got it and so far is working fine. It took some time to get used to the handlebar but other than that, I have no complaints.I would say that putting it together wasn’t as easy as I expected. The accompanying manual it’s not that easy to understand so I needed help from a friend who knows more about machines than I do.Hopefully, this brush cutter will last more than two years, which is the time my old one lasted.
