16 years and still going strong – It came with the business I bought and has done hundreds of hours of work. I have recently upgraded to makita battery hedger but still keep this one for big and woody hard jobs. Love it still powers on!

Frustratingly difficult machine – I have an Echo HCR 1500, the wretched thing being nothing more than a very expensive piece of junk, the problem being that it won’t start if it’s been idle for a few weeks.

The ignition switch is easy to use but is also easy to bump. Lack of a rotating grip. This is available on the next model up but really should be standard on all models.
