echo SRM-225 Grass Trimmer/Brush Cutter Review

My husband and I have over two acres of yard to mow and trim, and given that we live in North Central Florida, where it rains some EVERY DAY almost all summer, we end up doing a LOT of work in the yard. While we were contemplating the purchase of a gas-powered trimmer in a home & garden store one weekend (we had been given an electric trimmer by my husband's parents, but it just wasn't getting the job done), we happened to meet a husband and wife team that own their own landscaping company. Their glowing review of the Echo SRM-225 sold us, and we couldn't be happier with it.

 Be aware that if you're not familiar with gas-powered yard tools, you will probably need to spend some time reading the manual before you get started with the trimmer. After that, though - at least in our experience - the trimmer really does not require much by way of maintenance. It's heavy, but not too heavy to work with it for over an hour (more if you get a shoulder strap for it). It really gets the job done!
