It's the heaviest string trimmer I've ever used. If you want light, get a shindaiwa. Now, if we're talking about blowers, get a echo, ours haven't had any issues but stay over the 55cc range as the small the CC lower the reliability.
@@pimpinpenz it’s okay man I did the same with chainsaws and lawnboy mowers. There’s gunna be a day 2 cycles no longer exist and I’ll still be mowing my lawn with ancient history equipment
These things don't last long at all with professional landscaping, they always need a new carburetor. And they dont start most of the time. If you Want a great weed whip, get anything else but an echo or a Husqvarna.
Can't say I agree with that statement on Echo reliability...I have had excellent luck with Echo products...2 used SRM-225 that I used hard and did a carb clean and adjustment on this spring and sold to 2 new owners and they started in the first 2 or three pulls cold and 1 pull warm and ran like new-made $ on both of them and made money with both of them...replaced with a brand new 2620T that starts in 2-3 pulls cold and 1 warm and will take down just about anything including fence posts... Picking up a 266 as a backup later this week...I think proper non-ethanol fuel and proper oil mix and good hard use and Echo products seem very reliable.
Tebibyte not sure what model Husky or Echo you have used but I have totally have to disagree. Husqvarna makes awesome trimmers, the best imo. Echo is solid too but a little on the heavy side.
So you just really like weed eaters, or........
Love the collection
That’s crap I have two that don’t start now
I heard Echo (like Honda) is getting out of the small engine biz and transitioning to battery.
yup its sad
Bought 2 but returned them both because they wouldn’t start at all. Followed the instructions well but no luck. Going back to my electric trimmer.

Why do people keep complaining about weight? I can lug around a 15lb saw for hours and not be phased, let alone a 13lb string trimmer
Shindawai is the same product as echo
Black diamond string is at home depot
I did your steps and it idels for a few seconds then dies
Try Husqvarna commercial line trimmers
A lot money in that room🔥🔥
LOL, Yeah I bought these machines over the years, Idk ive had a trimmer addiction I guess hahaha
@@pimpinpenz you DO have a trimmer addiction lol...I laughed when you said you keep your Stihl in tip top shape...all your trimmers looked A1. 👍
