I have been using a echo srm225 for 6 years now under heavy commercial use. I have never had any problems out of it. Im still using it and it's running great! Beats a stihl any day.
That is a bulletproof trimmer. Big box store or not. The one I own is 9 years old and have used it commercially for 8. This one will go down as one of the best.
Love my Echo equipment too! I have a trimmer, a blower and a chain saw. My blower has given a bit of a problem, but a carb. rebuild kit solved that. My CS-301 chain saw has been a real treat. Always get use out of it and just used it to take down a tree at my girlfriends home. Had it limbed and down in 30 minutes. Thanks!
I had a model older than this one that I love. My sister has difficulty with tools that are too heavy and she actually loved mine and found it easy to use
Looking at buying a SRM225 off of Craigslist for $100. and looks to be almost new. I have a couple of Echo chainsaws, the CS-590-24" Timber Wolf and a little CS-310 for limbing trees. I've owned Macks and Stihls and a Homelite and all of them were problematic at least once a year. The Echo saws are trouble free with the TruFuel and I just bought a PB-250LN leaf blower for $75. used like new and it's a dream to use. Next will be an Echo pruner when I find the right deal... Echo machines start better than most other machines. Nice video.
Thanks for the information and the recommendation. Will run next week and buy my very first Echo trimmer. Had a Ryobi but that one became very hard to start so now, it is time to upgrade. Be well and thanks again.
I posted a comment on your video over 3 years ago and I was having a lot of shoulder pain from weed eating all day long in my company and I’m here in Miami fla that it’s none stop mowing I decided to give the Srm225 a try man best thing I ever did my shoulders feel so much better cause all I was using was echo srm 266 T and 2620T and 3020T heavy trimmers yes a lot of power but they were destroying my shoulders now I have 7 srm225 and srm2320 these trimmers are holding up so well it’s unbelievable also saving in gas aswell my guys love them as well for well maintained lawns like weekly’s a by weekly you don’t need much more power and we are taking probably a little less time trimming cause my guys and I don’t get as fatigue as when your using a havier trimmers in 100 digree weather people under estimate the 225 cause it holds up commercial work really well we do 75 to 80 properties a week.
Very good video. I think we are on the same frequency as I bought a Echo SR225 abt 3 years ago also. I was so impressed I bought another one. These things are "Beasts" ! Got a Blade kit also. I figured how to mod table saw blades to work with them. They do great ! Two pulls and I'am off and running !
I think Echo rocks. We ran a few of their 590, 400, and 310 chainsaws on 2 shifts non-stop for more than 2 months in order to clear debris left by Hurricane Maria down in San Juan. The city crews had Stihls, of course, but these were added given the monstrosity of the job. Let me tell you, the Echos killed it...guys were like 'hot damn!". Zero mechanical issues in 100% emergency recovery ABUSE. I'm definitely an Echo believer and home-use customer now as well.
Speaking of that "canned fuel" - I've been using "TruFuel" mixed ~50/50 with pump gas in all my 2- and 4-stroke equipment for the last 7 years and I have to say that I'm impressed by the stuff. ALL my small engines still look and run like new (Honda mower and Hitachi leaf blower and weed-wacker mostly used). Home Depot puts it on sale about every 18 months and I buy a case of each and that lasts me perfectly from sale to sale. I recommend it highly.
Bought a house 3 years ago. Got a ryboi trimmer as a gift. 1year later its done took it back. Replaced it with a top of the line troy built, I was in a rush. 2years later and lots of warranty repairs, I talked them into giving me a refund. I have an Echo pas 225 on the way! Pumped to have a good trimmer! Thanks for the review, and if your reading this, spend a little more and get an Echo!

I bought an SRM225 from HD recently. Used it a few times. Starts easily, runs well and not too heavy. Very nice trimmer.
I got one use at an estate sale about 3 years ago. I paid 15$ for it and it's been worth far, far more. Great vid

Thanks I just bought one
I bought a SRM-225 about 10 years ago. Still runs like new.
I had a model older than this one that I love. My sister has difficulty with tools that are too heavy and she actually loved mine and found it easy to use
I didn’t realise that echo made such high quality machines. Look forward to your gardening videos. I hope the tomatoes work out ok this year.
I love the way my Echo sounds when idling over a Stihl.

Great job and thanks for taking the time to produce a very informative video. Liked the idea of the screen protector vs goggles also.
