The machine is in a category of its own, the best I have. I have two, one for pruning and the other for cutting wood, with two different blades, one with gears for wood and one without for pruning. One of the two I have had since 2015 (not x series) and it still works like new without me changing anything at all. The other one I got in 2022 (this one is x series) is exactly the same and better. I prune large cuts on trees and small ones with very good detail. Both are very lightweight, the best for a professional

Very good! very lightweight, good balance you can work it comfortably with one hand, when it's warm it starts with the first click not even half a pull

It causes a lot of damage, has no relation to a professional machine, for any small garden it's okay to pass the time

The chainsaw is super, lightweight, powerful, nimble, the most convenient for pruning above and below the tree. A major drawback, however, is the carburetor; you change this more often than membranes, now if you catch the warranty it’s fine, otherwise it costs at least eighty. A second drawback is the chain it has on it, it kicks, but this can be solved by putting a Stihl with 60 drivers and the machine shaves. If I were to buy a small pruner again, I would look into some other brand as well and also consider battery-operated to avoid noise and the hassle of starting it.

Incredible pruning tool I have in my hands, and the T525 is a decent and good tool, but this specific one is lighter, more agile, and has fewer vibrations!

I have worked with both top pruning tools, this one and the Stihl. In all aspects, the Echo wins except for being more nervous. The Stihl had a smoother throttle and suited me better.

Excellent, small, lightweight, powerful. I come from zenoah-komatsu which is also a fantastic tool. The echo is lighter, more powerful, more versatile, and more fuel-efficient. The best in its category.

Tooool tool!!!! I have another pruning tool of a different brand that is heavier. When I got the Echo carving blade, it felt like an extension of my hand, effortless, lightweight, cuts like paper, fuel-efficient... you don't need anything else.

What can I say.... I have used many chainsaws in my hands. It is the best I have worked with. I have had it for about 1 month. It is worth every penny, even the last cent. Lightweight, comfortable, powerful (it has not jammed anywhere), very well balanced, its cutting is clean and does not hurt...
I believe it is the best on the market

the most powerful and lightweight of all ..2.800kg everything complete with chain blade and full of fuel oil ... cuts wood like a sword with a carving blade, making the cut thin and precise so that the tree is not harmed .. I have already ordered a second one

I have it for a year and it is the best tool out of the 7 chainsaws I have. Even better than the equivalent Stihl. I mainly use it for pruning but I have also cut thick logs. It is my constant companion in the countryside.

The best pruning tool, very lightweight and durable, it neither tires you nor struggles. I own the 2600es (280tes) and the 2511, the 2511 is about 600-700 grams lighter and feels more noticeable during work, two steps above the 2600. However, both are very durable and excel in their work.

The king of pruning!

Always use a reputable mixing oil, ideally from ECHO, and be careful to use only 2% or a maximum of 2.5%.

For initial use, fill the fuel tank with a little gas every now and then. Then, make several moderate cuts to properly break in the chain and the teeth of the saw, to avoid any sawdust during cutting, and then the real party begins!

Almost 4 tons were cut and sliced with tremendous ease, making clearing a breeze and consuming fuel like it's from another planet!

I am extremely satisfied with its performance and construction so far. The choke pops out easily on the first pull and goes back in smoothly, with a wide opening on both fuel tanks for easy refilling of chain oil and gasoline.

A typical cleaning in certain areas after each use will give you a long lifespan for the saw and its components.

Incredible rigged and balanced little machine, perhaps the ultimate pruning tool in its category. The 5-year warranty shows the manufacturer's immense confidence, even if many who handle it are inexperienced

I bought it 3 years ago, I use it on 600 olives and 400 oranges. It's easy to use, but be careful when using it with one hand, I forgot and it pinched me. Since then, I always wear gloves and pay absolute attention. I would only replace it with something lighter

In the first year, I pruned 150 fairly large trees, 60 years old. Perfect in weight, cutting, and starting. It needs cleaning after work in the filter because it collects sawdust. That's how things should be. And let's not get confused, as the title says, it's a pruning tool, not for logging.

I have had it for a year and it has cut 20 tons of wood. It is the extension of my hand, flawless and trouble-free. It is worth every last euro. Made in Japan forever

Polis expensive machine and I thought it was good. Lightweight. It gets very hot and the plastics bend. Around the exhaust, it melted. Neither the warranty covered the plastics nor the carburetor that broke the first month. The next one also required constant adjustment. Very expensive for so many problems

In my opinion, this particular machine is possibly the best in its category. It is very lightweight, easy to use with one hand, reliable, and very powerful. It is ideal for pruning but also for cutting up to 30cm of wood, such as firewood. I used it for about 180 hours in the first year. Now I no longer count the hours, but the machine is still like new.

Amazing chainsaw. You prune as comfortably as possible. I use it on olive trees and I am very satisfied.

Very lightweight pruning chainsaw for effortless use. It is powerful and can cut small logs with a little patience.

By far the best petrol chainsaw in this category (pruning). It was purchased after thorough market research and I have no regrets at all. It is very lightweight, easy to use, has a good center of gravity, and does not vibrate. I have it with a 30-inch blade so I can cut logs/trunks in addition to branches. With the 25-inch blade, it is even lighter and has an even better center of gravity. It has been trouble-free so far, and is one of the few purely Japanese ones on the market. Lastly, it is possibly the most powerful in its category - with the highest horsepower to weight ratio.

I think it is one of the best pruning shears! Quite powerful and very lightweight!! No comparison with the cheaper model of Echo!!! I highly recommend it!!
