I have had a echo SRM 210 trimmer in the past. Gave it to my dad a few years ago because it started so easy. Thing has to be 8 or 10 years old and still going strong.
Have been using a pump up sprayer with roundup the past few years as my grass trimmer.
Now I am ready to buy a new one for myself so I was looking at the SRM 225 (replaces the 210) at the full service dealer the other day. It is on sale for $199.99 with the instant rebate. Comes with a 5 year warranty when used by a homeowner.
The salesman kept trying to push me to buy the Stihl FS56RCE for $219.95 Said it is a much better machine. It comes with a 4 year warrant with the double your warranty promotion for homeowners.
So now I am on the fence. The Echo I had in the past work flawlessly for years with only going to the shop 1 time for a gas line recall. That makes me want to go Echo again.
So without making this a color war what do you guys think about the Stihl. Is the salesman feeding me a line because he makes a better profit off the Stihl; Or is it really a better trimmer? What one would you buy and why?
I am thinking they are both equal and the salesman makes more off the Stihl. The Stihl does have a little bigger motor (27.2cc to 21.2cc) and weighs a 1/2 lb less.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
