- The ECHO 58-Volt Cordless String Trimmer sets itself apart from most of the other string trimmers by having a power head that allows for other attachments to be added when they become available. This unique brushless motor helps to deliver superior power, run time and durability. ECHO String Trimmers are equipped with a variable speed trigger, high/low speed switch and a 14 in. - 16 in. adjustable cutting swath. The high/low power switch allows you to choose between more aggressive cutting or extended run time. The ECHO Speed-Feed 400 line advancement is nice and refilling is quick and easy. The String Trimmer, battery and charger are all backed by a 90 day money-back guarantee, a 5-year consumer warranty and a 2-year commercial warranty.
Owned this for about 2 weeks, took it back. Way too heavy for comfort. 5 years later Echo still hasn't updated the insanely heavy batteries from what I can tell.
Not one mention of how to change the string or how to forward it. Alas.
What kind of model is this? I Have echo cdst58V and it has different battery bay orientation.
20 minutes isn't long. I'd really like my dad to get something like this. Hopefully its lighter than a similar power gas model. Plus there's no fumes. But they get ya with the batteries just like the oil companies do with gas. I really like that the head is detachable. They've got other stuff coming for it for sure. Great video!!!
Love2boat92 for many, 20 minutes is great. Please remember, I pushed these pretty hard on my property for those times. I have 400 feet of ditch bank to mow each time.
WorkshopAddict Yeah that is true. I live on a farm and there's tons of weedwacking to do around all the buildings.
Love2boat92 If you really want the ECHO, you would have to break it up into multiple cuttings or get a second battery. IMHO, one with a 6 amp hour battery would be the best for you. We have a lot of reviews that walk you through these. also check out our blog for more info on the ones we looked at. www.workshopaddict.com/tools/
WorkshopAddict Yeah. Good point. A second battery would be very good. I wonder how much gas it takes to go thru 1 fully charged battery? That would be a neat video. I will check out the blog. Thanks!!
Love2boat92 I can tell you that I can do my yard twice on my Stihl FS130 before I fill the tank with fuel. I only use the Stihl fuel, so I figure about a dollar and a half each time I trim the yard. I am sure they make some models with less power that use less fuel.
I've had mine for some five (5) years now and I Love mine! Recently cracked the trigger switch so I ordered a replacement. My only issue with mine is that sometimes the line over feeds and I'll have to manually rewind it back in which is a bother, but it'za Beast and if I had to would buy another. thanks for sharing/posting @ WorkshopAddict.

I bought the echo trimmer about a month ago and i'am happy with it.I also have echo gas powered equipment, trimmer,hedge trimmer and chainsaw ,but the exhaust was getting to me.I don't like how it cuts out sometimes when the motor gets hot but you deal with it.I used the straight shaft lawn edger attachment with it and powered it no problem.
I'm using the straight 1/2 hedge trimmer and the bent arm edger in the PAS attachments with no issues. I could see where the heavier torque attachments might cause some issues, but i've had none using any of the attachments i'm using.
I have one, but I was wondering if there's a different string head, lines are tough to load in.
Will the 56v blower accept the 58v battery? Wondering if they are interchangeable.
Thanks
They are not.
It looks like the power head to tool attachment is identical to other Echo units. I'd bet the Echo edger attachment would fit this head as well.
Any of the Echo PAS Attachments will fit.
@@tmball101 Not the bristle or paddle brooms my dealer tells me
I have a gas one that I have used for years. I feel that the gas one overloads at about the same point as the electric. It just fails differently.
So sorry to give a terrifying bad reputation to these item BUT here is the BUT I bought a new one at home depot and after leaving the battery doing it's thing after 4 hour's it never pass the testing step so the battery never got to get charged out of the box new it came out to be for me defective
Mine has the cutout issues as well, and it does it independent of motor load. Hell, sometimes, if I just give it full throttle without cutting anything, it'll cut out.
+opmike343 Contact the store you bought it from. Rumor has it they corrected the issue in software.
Consumer Reports indicates the fix for this is to hit the battery check button at least once after charging. Known issue from Echo for all units built before Feb 2016.
how do you replace the string?
joeydontplaythat wrap it around manually like the old models.
Incorrect. There are two arrows that align with the eyelets on the bump head. You cut off `10-12 feet of line and push it straight through the head WITHOUT taking the cap off. It is by far the easiest trimmer head to load on the market now. I mow lawns for a living and laugh when other crews don't know about speedfeed heads, they truly are time savers.
KriegerKrieg They must have updated it since we did the review.
Any review coming on stihl's new 36volt mower model RMA 510?
Hi there, does this unit have the capability of taking a metal blade attachment?
Please show the best way to wind the string and attach the head back into place ?
you need to compare with Dewalt 40V and Dewalt 20V
how do you keep the mice out of those OSB walls?
bajapointe I start with keeping the mice under control on the outside by putting steel wool un the corners of the siding so they cannot climb up and access the attic. I also have a product called "tomcats" outside that house a poison to keep the population down outside. On the inside, since this is a stick built structure, I have block up 8" and then 3 (2x6's) on the flat for the stud walls that the OSB is screwed to. They would have to chew through a lot of board to get into the walls. The walls are insulated with blown in insulation, so I would see it on the floor if they do get in.
Great review Brian you answered the questions that popped into my head at the beginning of the video.
is there a blade that can go on this trimmer?
Not at this time. The trimmer we tested would not have the power to run it without overheating.
get a top of the line black n decker instead
I am pretty sure that most to all of the echo trimmers plus this one is already interchangeable with there current attchandment. I remember dealing with them when I was working putting display up it looks like the same design plus I double checked sales site recommend sale items to go with was the attchandments.
Cy Guilliams Here is the site: www.echocordless.com/products/string-trimmer/All they have listed id the trimmer. With the issue of it cutting out under load, I am unsure what normal attachments might work.
Nice review guys for it being leaned toward the contractors the battery life isn't great but for home use it would be. Thanks for the review
Mike Z It is middle of the road for stock (no upgraded battery). I would assume commercial guys would have multiple units with multiple batteries and a system that charges on the road. You could also drop the line down in size to conserve battery.
does the trimmer head spin counterclockwise like a commercial trimmer ?
yes, you can see it when I am using the trimmer in the middle of the video.

My Echo will shout-off just starting it up how can I stop this?
Return it guys. Or call support!
Great review as always, I'd love to see a head to head comparison with the Ego and Dewalt to see run times/power in relation to each other.
Greg Fields there is more info on our blog. www.workshopaddict.com/tools/If you read the articles it will give you a better idea of how each compare. Each one has a great niche for different people so it is very hard to put these up against each other.
WorkshopAddict Thanks, I'll check it out.
I just assembled a new ECHO 58-Volt Cordless String Trimmer, and put in the charged battery that was tested in my lawn mower,
and it doesn't work. When I depress both triggers, it does not start. I hear a clicking sound near the battery each time I depress the triggers. Is there something simple that I forgot to do? Or is the ECHO string trimmer junk?
Take apart the two sections in the middle and see if it will run without the trimmer attached. It sounds like something might me bound up.
Thanks for the prompt reply. I took out the trimmer attachment, and the motor doesn't start.
+mu99ins return it for a new one. Sorry.
Did that to no affect a while back. Thanks.
this or the ego
