- Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2022I live in a very wooded and heavily-vegetated area with a river for a backyard in Washington state. They call it 'The Evergreen State' for a reason. This is my second Echo GT-225, because I loved the first so much. Weekly this hearty fella fires up with ease and heads into the vines, grasses, small shrubs, weeds and keeps them at bay. I asked too much of the first Echo GT-225...probably shouldn't have taken on that grove of huckleberry bushes. So #2 is here, fired up on pull three right out of the box, and this newer model seems to cut cleaner, quieter, and with more horsepower. I didn't read all the specs, just got the feels that this one is better, stronger, faster.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2020I bought this to replace the same exact model that I had for 10 years. There have been some upgrades since then, but I find this product extremely reliable. It starts every time, which is the reason I bought the same model as a replacement. Just do as instructed and it will work like a charm. I've had a number of trimmers over the last 35 years, and I think this is the best bang for the buck. I like the manual loading. It is convenient and you don't have to mess around with winding and all that nonsense. I usually wind up using 4 of the pre-cut cords per use, but they are relatively cheap, and in my opinion, a lot better than having to hope that tapping will release more line properly.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2021Started right up and cuts very well. Only 2 things that I would say as negative. First, it is shorter than my last one which causes me to have to lean over a bit to use. I’m only 6’ 2” so would think they would at least have a length adjuster. Second, I did not realize you have to cut 6-7 inch strips of line to load in the spool. I’m used to the ones where you wrap long strips in the spool and tap on ground to feed more line through. This model once your line gets too short you have to pull them out and reload it with 2 more cut pieces. It’s really easy and quick to do but just different. They give you some precut ones to use but they are cheap and don’t last too long. If you get quality line then it’s not as bad. Overall I do like this tool though.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2024This is a good quality reliable weedeater. I've tried many weedeaters but this has them all beat while the others wind up in the trash. My son works for the city and this is the brand they use because of the performance and reliability. I would purchase again
- Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2019After using my last Echo for the past 6 years thought it was time to upgrade. This thing is soo lightweight and powerful its unreal. The curved shaft makes back pain from slunching over irrelevant. I don't like the swiveling of the handle, produces alot more arm pump in right arm as its doing most of the side to side motion. Echo carburetors are far superior to that of Stihl, and are always easy and fast to cold start. I felt like i stole such a great product at such a low price point. Speed feed is a must have $25 upgrade.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2016Starts with two pulls every time. The first pull is made while the choke is engaged. The engine coughs but doesn't start. I move the slider off of the choke position and pull again to get it going. Replacement parts are cheap. Went ahead and bought a replacement carburetor and carburetor gasket to keep in the garage for when mine gets too gunked up to work. Changing the string involves holding the trimmer head and pulling out the two remaining small pieces of trimmer line. The replacement line is pre-cut and slips right into the holes on the trimmer head without any fight or tools. You're going again in less than a minute. A trimmer head that you bump might be a bit quicker, but they are also more complicated and difficult to load. If you do a lot of trimming in areas that eat up line, the "bump head" might be a good idea but for someone who does a couple yards every two weeks or so, the stock unit works just fine.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2021The engine is great and the features are very good but the way the line is handled is horrible. There is no line releasing mechanism. You insert two 9-10 inch lengths of line and when they are worn down, you have to stop the engine, manually put in more line and start again. I had to stop once to trim my back yard and then again to finish my front yard. There should be a warning about the way the line is handled. No one would buy this if they knew how often the engine had to be stopped to get more line out.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2023This my second GT225. The easy start and light weight makes trimming easy. I like the new string thread on the head as it seems easier to replace line now. Overall very satisfied.
