    Ok so I rescued an srm-225.. left for dead on the side of a barn, gutter dripping on it mid winter.. entire engine housing was a block of ice! Soaked the combustion chamber in marvel mystery for a couple weeks.. ran echo red armor and some non-ethanol premium 50/50.. by some stroke of god, it fired! Sounds like a washing machine full of rocks 😆 but point is, IT RUNS TO THIS DAY!! That was 3 years ago and it is my primary trimmer!! Solid piece of equipment!

    @WalterKnox 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    For someone who has over an acre of land to blow/mow/trim, going electric is not going to work for me. It could be done, but I don't want to deal with the headache of crap never being charged, or carrying a cord around. I also like serviving my own equipment (and other people's,) and electric stuff is more of a use up and throw away type deal. I have been collecting as many trimmers, blowers, and mowers as I can lately, because it is getting harder and harder to find them as they are being replaced in stores with electric toys.

    ECHO products sold in the USA are made (or assembled) in Illinois.
    They are an upper quality product, with ownership in Japan and products made in the U.S., China and Japan.
    Home Depot is probably going to sell an inferior product using their own label.

    They want more profit from the lineup , shoppers are smart and want a good value for their money . This is the downfall , the new disclaimer is it’s rated for 50 hours of usage ,commercial usage is 300 hrs . You can get kits to fix small issues with the units but they’ve broken up the components for profit , kits come partial and raises the cost for a diy to fix . So I priced this breakdown at over $90 for just marginal maintenance, the diy crowd has found the same repair kit at amazon for less than $25 . and this includes a carb

    35 years of residential/commercial tree work and I worked for a guy who would not buy anything but Echo chain saws in the 80s. I tried to tell him that they were good home owner saws but not up to par when compared to Stihl or Husqvarna. A couple years ago I purchased an Echo CS-2511 T and was amazed. I've since then purchased a string trimmer that I am very impressed with. Bad move HD.

    If it gets replaced by Stihl or Husqvarna, then it was the correct choice. Echo is a little bit cheaper than the two European brands, but in my opinion it doesn't hold up to the extended use.
    You can get a Stihl FS70 for $50 more, and in my opinion it will be worth it every time. Even for a homeowner instead of a professional.
