ECHO GT-225 21.2cc Gas 2-Stroke Curved Shaft String Trimmer

Probably the best curved shaft trimmer out there

This is a much better quality trimmer than the Weedeater Featherlight that I had previously. It is lightweight, well balanced, and seems to cut evenly and quickly. Cranks easily and runs very smoothly.

Some users don't like the type of cutting head with the separate piece line replacement, and prefer the tap head, but I actually like the head this has, as the tapping ones are always getting jammed.

I also like the curved shaft, although, again, a lot of people prefer the straight shaft trimmers. But I find that I can be better precision and control with the curved shaft. I will say that the shaft could probably be about 3 or 4 inches longer; the trimmer is fine for me at 5'10", but a very tall person might need more length.

Too short & string replacement a problem

I'm 5' 10" and the shaft of the trimmer short enough I have to lean over to trim. Also, the trimming line has to be cut in short lengths and replace too often. The auto feed trimmer function would be a nice modification to this trimmer.Read full review

Great power

Has good power. I’m short and I have to bend over. Might not be comfortable for a tall person. Get the bump head and new line. It came to life after about 30 minutes break-in and some new line. The line it came with took about 20 minutes to eat the whole spool. I’m happy.Read full review

Super Trimmer

I purchased this trimmer because I had an Echo trimmer for several years and it ran great.
I think I just wore it out.
I liked the first one so much that when the time came to get another trimmer I wanted another Echo.
The new one, just like the older one, runs great.
I expect to get many years from the newer one as well.Read full review

Highly Recommended

Bought this to replace my late dad's old trimmer, which was also an Echo. Once I took it out of the box and added the gas oil mixture, it worked like a charm. With great care, this trimmer should last well.Read full review

Quality powerful weed eater, Light weight and easy to use! Pleased with purchase!

Powerful and light weight, Replaced my old Stihl and reason I did not purchase another Stihl is because most are made in China and will only run at idle or wide open. At least the Echo is made in Japan and the throttle can be feathered to trim around gravel.Read full review

Works well and easy to use

The trimmer is easy to start, handles well and is lighter in weight than any others I have tried. The very best part of using it is that changing the string is very simple and easy.
