Have used this trimmer several times since my purchase and have found it to be an easy starting, great running, powerful machine. It tackles 1" brush with ease. I highly recommend this equipment to the homeowner and professional alike.

I tangled between this echo and a comprable stihl for my lawn company... happy with purchase. Works great and weight is good. I have a smaller echo that has run like a champ for over a year of commercial use. I like the shear pin release mechanism on these models... saves the trimmer if you hit something metal hidden in a bush and can be fixed on site without much down time. Thinking of buying and echo top handle chain saw as well. Echo is manufactured in US (a plus) and price is better than competion (another plus). Echo also gives a long warrany for residential use as well as commercial.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Quality Costs

I am a home owner so I can't speak to how well this hedge trimmer will hold up for daily, commercial use. What I can say is that I have 4 other Echo lawn and garden tools - string trimmers, pole saw, back-pack blower and a brushcutter. I have had these for many years and they have all held up well - they usually start on one pull even after sitting for the winter and are easy to service when needed.
I bought this hedge trimmer because I was sick and tired of the Stihl I bought 3 years ago. Even after one season, it was difficult to start, the air filter kept falling off and I was stuck going back to the Stihl dealer when I needed anything.
This Echo trimmer is in a different league than the Stihl. It has plenty of power, starts easily, better ergonomics, and has better vibration isolation. And, if and when I need a part for it, I can go on-line and order it and not be held for ransome by the Stihl dealer.
Sure it's expensive but it is an excellent, well made product and should last for years with minimal upkeep - like the other Echo products I own.
Yes, I recommend this product.
