Husqvarna 223L 18-Inch 24.5cc 2-Stroke Gas Powered Straight Shaft String Trimmer


Light and Powerful5

I just bought the 223L to replace a 5 year old lightly used Echo SRM-210i which froze-up (piston is hung in the cylinder). Wished I had bought the Husqvarna when I bought the Echo.



Pros:

* Easy to start and stay running. (The Echo would start easy but it would tend to stall (and sometimes quit until it warmed up.)

* Very lightweight.

* Easy to maneuver - it just glides across the ground.

* Powerful - this machine cuts through 1/4" brush with no problems using stock string.



Cons: Only has a two year warranty compared to Echo's 5 years. However the place I bought the Husq (Home Improvement store starting with L) had a 3 extended warranty for $39. The total price of the Husqvarna and the extended warranty was about in line with Echo's compatible model (which has a smaller engine).
