Rated 5 out of 5 by from Top Notch Trinmer I own an Echo SRM-266 as well as an Echo SRM-2620T and just sold two Echo SRM-225's that I was using previously. I also have extensive use with a Shindaiwa 262, as well as many other brands of trimmers such as Toro, Stihl etc. The SRM-266 is probably 95% all the trimmer a commercial landscaper or large property owner would ever need. It doesn't have the insane ferocity/torque of the 2620T but at its price point I think it is a better value...The 266 is a beast in its own right...However, for a subdivision homeowner, I would say it is overkill and would recommend the SRM-225 for its lighter weight and providing plenty of power to get through anything even an acre sized lot would have. In closing, get an Echo straight shaft trimmer...they all come with the industry BEST Speed Feed head that makes restringing an absolute breeze...I am not saying don't buy the SRM-266... absolutely buy one or two of them if you are a commercial landscaper or have a farm/ranch...if you live in a 1/2 acre or smaller lot...the SRM-225 is what you want... don't waste time/money on anything else including the GT-225.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Powerful I bought this over the Sthil brand for the first time because posts parts are more accessible. I'll tell you, as a business owner that uses this daily I'm very happy with the power.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Straight shaft trimmer Great piece of equipment. Stalk cable doesn't last long before it needs to be replaced.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from SRM 266 look no further I am a homeowner with a couple acre property. After pulling the rope on my Stihl FS38 for the last time, I started looking for a new trimmer. I wanted a straight shaft this time both because I'm tall and to reach under trees. Echo kept coming up in reviews and tests so I had a fair amount of confidence in the brand, but which trimmer? The SRM 225 sure felt good in the hands at the store but my wife said "Are you sure? Don't cheap out" so with permission I snatched the more expensive SRM 266 off the shelf. Once home I filled the tank with mix fuel, 3 pulls and it was idling. After a couple minutes warmup I attacked the overgrown weeds I came home to after vacation. Those weeds were no match for this trimmer and by the second tank of fuel it had noticeably more power. I hopped the fence and went to work on the farm side where weeds were 2ft tall. As a guy used to working with power tools and equipment I thought ,gee anyone can walk off the street and buy something with this much power? I finished the fence line and I kinda felt like Brad Pitt in Hercules when he kills the giant dude in the opening scene. "Is there no one else? Will no other weed dare defy me?" Seriously, as a large property owner this is a great tool. Starts easily, well balanced, oodles of power and a great warranty. I feel this would be overkill on any property less than an acre. It is heavier than the SRM 225 but you won't be carrying it long . I maintain 900ft of page wire fence, and 300ft of rock embankments. On weekly trimming I can stick the head under the fence and almost run. The Black Diamond line they spool these with seems super tough. I bump the head to advance line about 5 times for 2 tanks of fuel (1-1.5 hours) and it seems to cut with ease even in the woody fibrous weeds. When it runs out I'll have opportunity to judge it against my spool of off brand 0.95 line but I'm guessing I'll be buying some Black Diamond. I am not a professional landscaper nor have I run a huge variety of trimmers but I am very happy with this product. I imagine it's all the trimmer 95% of large property owners/farmers would need.
