Anyone using a String Trimmer/Weed Whacker and is tired of lugging the
weight and dealing with fuel this is an excellent alternative: https://www.amazon.com/BLACK-DECKER-...=a ll_reviews It'll do about a mile (2 hours) of weed whacking before the battery needs charging, and weighs about half as much as my Echo pro model. The weight was a big consideration for us as we need to carry it pretty long distances from place to place. We don't think we will ever go back to a 2 cycle trimmer. And this fully charges in about two hours. This doesn't have quite the power of my Echo but is very adequate for most jobs: ps://www.amazon.com/BLACK-DECKER-LST136W-Lithium-Trimmer/product-reviews/B00I2F51SG/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_show_all_btm?ie=UTF8&reviewerType=a ll_reviews |

It's worth it just for the weight difference alone, having to lug something all over this large property every ounce counts, and it weighs about half as much. And now when my wife wants to trim around the vegetable garden she doesn't need me to start that fercocktah machine, now she simply flips a switch and it runs... an amazing difference in every way. And I like that there's no maintenence, no expensive tuneups. It didn't cost much, half the price of the Echo, if it lasts three years and dies I'm ahead of the game. The Echo needs a yearly tune up, about $70 for greasing, new spark plug, carborator cleaning and adjusting and a few other adjustments/settings. The electric trimmer needs no more service than an electric pencil sharpener.... we've been using our electric pencil sharpener nearly 30 years, all we ever do is dump the shavings tray when it begins to overflow. Okay, it's a much better string trimmer, I can't say more. |

I like my Echo weed whacker. I don't find the fuel mix to be a major problem. I have a chain saw, a small tiller and the line trimmer that all use the same mix. One of my concerns about a battery powered machine is the battery life. It takes me a tank of fuel to do the regular trimming around my place. I have the house, barn and shed to trim around, two stone walls, the sidewalks and patio, dozens of trees and two steams. > And the string feed system is quite > sophisticated, all automatic. My neighbor bought one and we tried it, > we bought one immediately, no going back. It arrived today, a > wonderful machine and no stinky fuel. Only thing is it's not quite as > powerful but heck, I'm not hacking bamboo. No bamboo, but one of the two streams through my property is rife with cattails and I have to get down there and clear them out once or twice a year. I put the steel blade on for that jump and it still takes a lot of power to cut through the reeds, and there are wild roses growing along the banks. > The Echo needs a yearly tune up, > about $70 for greasing, new spark plug, carborator cleaning and > adjusting and a few other adjustments/settings.

What were you doing to the machine that it needs annual tuneups. I have had mine for close to 15 years and had the carb done only once. That was the year I forgot to drain the old fuel before winter. It still starts easily. > Okay, it's a much better string trimmer, I can't say more. If it weren't for the heavy growth that has to be cleared out of the streams I would consider a good electric one, but I still worry about the battery life. |

I have to trim around the two front sections of my property every time I mow. That involves going around the house, two stone walls4 trees, a hedge, sidewalk, patio, dog kennel, shed and along one side of the stream. Since it is done frequently it could be done with a lower power machine. I can save the rest of that stream and the other one and the other trees for a less frequent trimming and leave the steel blade on for the heavy work. |

It really gets the job done! I have a pro powered Echo leaf blower but rarely use it.... after the leaves fall I ride over them with mulching blades as I mow grass and they become fertilizer. If anyone does use a leaf blower make sure to wear a respirator or at minimum a paper particulate mask. |

I was doing my Echo the wrong way for years. About a year ago I found an instructional video about how to do it. It still gets bunged up once in a while, but it is much better than it was with my old method. FWIW.. with the Echo, I remove the spool from the head, cut about 12" of line, slip it through the loop in the middle and slip the line though the eyelet and pull it through until it you have equal lengths on each side. Put the spool back into the head and then push it up and twist.... many times... as it winds the line up in increments. |

While it started as a natural stream it is now part of a municipal drain that has to be kept clear to drain properly. The town gets it cleared out every 10-15 years. The cattails clog it and cause flooding upstream. It is a more pleasant ecosystem without those clogging weeds. |
