If you are anything like me, you spend a lot of time researching and reviewing products prior to buying. Well, I'll save you some time... Stop it and go buy this trimmer. After fighting with my 1 acre of grass with my previous trimmer, I had to look into another trimmer to save my back and my time. I had a 28cc prior, and I have to say that this 22.8cc trimmer out performs the larger one that I had by far. Right out of the box, this thing started with three pulls, and took down huge weeds with out a problem. The speed feed head also saves a lot of time in line replacement. So, stop looking at reviews and go out and buy this awesome Echo trimmer. You will not regret it..
Yes, I recommend this product.

makes my corded trimmer look like a toy
,PostedMay 9, 2011
This trimmer starts easily, tears through ivy like a champ. String is much more durable than in my old corded trimmer. It's so much faster now that I don't need to drag a cord around and constantly replace broken string.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I bought this weedwacker on 6-15-2009 And This thing is EXCELLENT ! starts very easy ! I put my Echo rapid head loader on it though. Because I could not get close to the ground with the bump & feed head. But over all 5/5 This thing is WELL BUILT ! I HIGHLY recommend this weedwacker ! I've had good luck with Echo in the past and I got this. I love it runs great, starts great, cuts great ! what else could you ask for ?
Yes, I recommend this product.

Comfortable, Easy to start, Lots of power!
,PostedNovember 16, 2009
I use these trimmers for my lawn care company, and they are awesome! We've used Stihl, and many other brands, but the Echo SRM230 is the best we've found. From the comfortable hand grips, to the easy starting and great power band, these really can't be beat. If you are looking for a trimmer that will stand up to years of use, look no further.
Yes, I recommend this product.

After my old Weedeater brand trimmer bit the dust after 20 years, I needed a replacement. Talked to someone who worked on trimmers and he recommended Echo strongly. I have an Echo chainsaw and love it. Same for the trimmer. Much stronger than my old one. In fact, I have to get used to the strength. Easy to trim and edge my property with this trimmer. I have 3 acres to keep up.
Yes, I recommend this product.

ECHO gas trimmer
,PostedJuly 7, 2009
I recieved my new Echo weed trimmer SRM-230 on 6/25/2009. I've used it twice now and it runs like a dream. Very easy to start and handle, it eats weeds and long grass with ease. Not very loud and does not smoke, it idl's very nice. I'm glad i paid a little extra for a much better machine.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Excellent
,PostedJune 12, 2009
You can't go wrong with this trimmer. I use this in a commercial lawn care business. It starts easily and does a fantastic job. I own alot of Echo power equipment and have been very satisfied with all of their pruducts. It's comparible if not better than Stihl but carries a better price and parts are available at Home Depot. If you buy it,you won't be dissapointed.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I own a lawn business and this is defintley the best weedeater I have ever used. I will never think about buying another brand. It is great for commercial use or the serious home owner. It is very predictable in starting. My 12 year old son can operate it well!
Yes, I recommend this product.

Great Pruduct
,PostedMay 22, 2008
I bought this as a replacement for another string trimmer (not echo brand) I have had some experience with Echo before.
I live on a farm so I need a pretty good string trimmer. Out of the box this thing ran beautifully, the first day I cleaned about 200 ft of fence row, just to try out it, worked great!
My biggest concern purchasing this product was the string diameter, .095, I don't know what the deal is but the string lasts longer in this than my old trimmer that used .105 string! Maybe it is the RPM because it does turn considerably faster.
I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking to purchase a larger string trimmer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The one to buy
,PostedMay 6, 2008
JHRock
This is a high quality trimmer. Appears to be the best I have ever owned. Starts easily cold or hot. Feels well balanced, easy to control. Handles feel good; trigger is in the right place. Little to no vibration felt. Line seems to last longer for some reason. Bump feed works perfect. Definitely a well engineered quality product. I will focus more on ECHO brand products for future needs. If they make trimmers this good, their other products are worth a look.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Echo SRM 230 String Trimmer
,PostedJune 9, 2006
Roc
from Ohio
The Echo SRM230 is an execellent choice for the contractor or serious homeowner/doit yourselfer. The straight shaft allows a good reach under items and lets one do some serious wideopen trimming.
It has good balance with easy manueverability and the weight of the unit does not wear one out while using for extended periods of time.
The materials and construction of the 230 make it a quility unit which should provide one with many years of use.
I would definitely recommend this trimmer to anyone looking for a seriously good machine.

Quality and price finally come together!

My wife and I were looking for a durable and simple to use weed eater that wouldn't force us to mortgage the house to purchase. We've tried other brands, both gas and electric, that just didn't hold up to the abuse of a fully landscaped acre and a half. I needed commercial power on a "Joe User" budget. Enter, the Echo. Straight out of the box I knew that this thing was built to last. Durable molded plastic and a heavy duty cast housing. It's very well balanced with the throttle lever and kill switch conveniently located on the grip. As for weight, even with a fully loaded spool and full tank of gas my wife was able to wield it with ease. It came with a shoulder strap, but we both agree that it's easy enough to use without it. The bump feed system, when properly wound, works great. Cold starts aren't as troublesome as other gas models I've used since it has the cold start choke position that automatically resets once it's cranked. Be careful not to push the primer bulb to many times or you WILL flood the carb. Three works for me. Over all, I'd say that this is the best string trimmer I've owned. It has a ton of available accessories and the warranty is as good if not better than most. I definitely recommend the Echo I-Start system attachment available from Echo to make starting even easier. For the money, Echo is the best-built and easy to use string trimmer out there.
Yes, I recommend this product.
