    Just picked this up last week. Took no time to assemble it out of the box, mix in and started first pull. Used Echo in the past followed by several cheap Chinese headaches and spent the dough to get that Echo quality again. Feels very comfortable and balanced, the soft grip is good and the line feed is really well designed, every other trimmer has been frustrating but this is fantastic. Inquiring about the blade accessory which is not included. Good 5 year warranty. Very happy with this purchase.

    Cold start refers to the engine being cold not the ambient temp. Mine always needs to be primed and choked. Never started first time. It is easy to pull though, which easy start refers to.
    One thing is the bump head releases line way too easily and accidently. Apart from that it's decent for a home owner or light commercial use.

    Still happy with your trimmer after having 2/3 years? I’m looking at the 3020 with bike handles, I’ve got a local supplier, considering waiting for the one day offer to come up!

    I just bought one of these last week. I'm a contractor and have recently hurt my back so wanted a lighter machine so I can at least do some work! I'm really impressed with it too, it seems really decent for the money and has enough power for light work. One little tip - the side bar on your handle is on the wrong side. It's supposed to come across in front of you so if you hit something hard when using a blade the bar will hit your hip and stop the machine from kicking back and potentially cutting you.

    Hi I have just bought an SAM 222 es trimmer here in Australia, I would like to add a blade but it is impossible to find an adapter here ... also impossible to find the sliding part of the shield for the blade conversion ... would you have any ideas on where to find these parts? Thanks an great videos

      Ive had this one for either 7 or 8 years🤔 And not had any issues or even a puff of blue smoke yet. Ive had a couple of cheap 2 stroke strimmers previously and neither lasted more than 3 full seasons. In fairness i dont mix my own fuel with the echo. I only use Aspen 2 stroke fuel which might be a significant component of my very good ownership experience so far.

    • @hednoc9263
      @hednoc9263 11 місяців тому

      I have a Honda UMC425, so same gx25 engine. I find that the Honda is heavier and has a slower oscillation due to the revs. The 4 strokes don’t rev the same. I find the 2 stroke sthils or echos have higher revs and run with less wobble, yielding a more consistent cut, especially when edging. So going to buy me one of these

    Nice video.
    Ive had the older SRM-22GES for about 6 or 7 years now, awesome little machines, about to upgrade to a bigger ECHO.
    have you tried running 2mm line in it? I find even 2.4mm line is too heavy for it and it struggles with the extra weight especially in thick grass. 2mm is perfect for it.
