ECHO17 in. 21.2 cc Gas PAS Trimmer and Edger Kit-PAS-225VP

We love this product! It’s was simple to put together and instructions were easy to follow. The instructions for the weed eater were not included but we were able to find easily through the help page link provided on the manual. The edger works great even on thick built up grass. The blower is powerful and works perfectly! Super easy to change out the edger to weed eater. Overall a great purchase!

Good trimmer, zero complaints.

I have a bunch of Stihl equipment. I have a SH 85 Blower, a MS250 Chain saw, a Stihl handheld hedge trimmer, a BR 600 Blower and a Stihl Kombi 117R with an edger attachment, a reciprocating hedge trimmer attachment, a brushcutter attachment, a string trimmer attachment, a pole saw attachment and a 37" extension attachment. I am on my third Kombi unit. The first one lasted a long time. The second one didn't because I ran over it with my SUV. The SUV won. I have two Tru-Cut reel mowers and a Honda HRX17 push mower. I said that to illustrate that I have some experience in the area.I bought the BR600 blower in the spring of 2022 and had a lot of trouble with it. I took it back to the dealer for warranty repair four times during the first three months that I owned it. The dealer where I purchased the majority of my Stihl equipment caters to professional landscapers and does a ton of business with them. They basically carry two brands of handheld equipment....Stihl and Echo. I had so much trouble with the BR 600 that I decided that my next purchase would be an Echo.We have a second home on a nearby lake and the string trimmer that we had there just died. We do not have a lot of yard equipment there other than a riding mower, so I was stuck with carrying stuff from my primary home back and forth. I saw this deal on Amazon and jumped on it. Why? Well the powerhead alone was selling for $319.00. The powerhead and string trimmer combo was $329.00. This deal includes both plus a curved-shaft edger for $358.00. A no-brainer if you ask me.Is this power head as powerful as my Stihl Kombi 117R? No. Is it as powerful as the Echo with the 25.4 CC engine? No? Is it powerful enough for the average homeowner? Absolutely, it is. Now, if you plan on buying a brushcutter attachment and cutting heavy brush on a regular basis or if you plan on buying the pole saw attachment with the idea of cutting large limbs, then it might be a god idea to spend the money for more power. But, if you will use it primarily as a weed-eater or an edger or a hedge trimmer, this thing has plenty of power for your needs. There is no need to fall for the "I need more power" lure.Shipment was fast and product arrived in perfect condition. Can't get any better than that.

Both the edger and weed eater attachments work well. The edger has enough torque to do the job and I have a lot of clay. The two downsides are a) it is hard to find a position where one can walk forward while edging, e.g. one has to almost step sideways sequentially with each foot, and b) despite the rubber flaps, the edge still throws a lot of dirt backwards onto one's feet. I would still buy it again, though.

Everything was as expected. Came brand new in the box.

My echo trimmer's not even 3 months old at this point, and the engine has completely seized up on me. I own my own lawncare company; I've used every brand of trimmer from Stihl, Husqvarna to Troy-Bilt. I know how to maintain, and store my equipment. I even used echo-brand oil in my fuel mixture, and followed the factory suggested maintenance routine. I've replaced the sparkplug, carburetor, fuel-lines, exhaust screen. I have never had a trimmer completely fail on me in just 3 months of use. A complete and utter waste of time and money.

super reliable and trustworthy equipment, easy to start and switch heads. more than enough power for homeowners and landscapers alike!

Para mi no tengo nada malo estoy feliz cada ves que me toca usarlo voy a la segura 💪🏻
