If you’re shopping for some new lawn care equipment but aren’t familiar with available brands, the number of options can be very confusing. What makes one brand better than another? Is the more expensive brand really worth it for the type of work I have to do? How do I choose which model I need?
Though all the brands carried by Richardson Saw & Lawnmower are top-quality, some are better suited for new homeowners. Echo is one of the best choices for building your collection of lawn equipment since they offer professional-quality trimmers, chainsaws, blowers and other products at an affordable price.
Easy Starting
Echo features like the i-Start System and Pro-Fire Digital Ignition System make it easy to start their lawn equipment. If you don’t want an engine that requires hard pulls on the starting cord, then Echo is right for you. The i-Start system uses a spring assisted recoil to reduce pulling effort. The Pro-Fire digital ignition supports the easy-starting system by automatically adjusting to provide reliable, high output voltage to the spark plug.
The i-Start system reduces starting effort by 30% or 75%, depending on the model. Products like the PB-265LN back pack blower, HC-185 hedge trimmer and SRM-266 trimmer include the i-30 starting system. For even easier starting some models, like the SRM-225i trimmer, use an i-75 starting system Most Echo products with an i-Start system use the i-30 version.
Long-lasting
Every piece of Echo lawn equipment is started and tested in the factory before it ships out, so you know it will start when you get it home. These products are not going to be one of those things that you buy and then immediately have to take back because they don’t work. On top of that, every engine on every piece of equipment Echo produces has been given the highest useful life rating available from the U.S. Government.
If you do have any problems with your Echo product, don’t worry. Echo offers one of the best warranties in the business, and Richardson Saw and Lawnmower is well equipped to take care of any service needs. Echo offers a manufacturer’s warranty that covers 5 years of consumer use or 2 years of commercial use. For more information about Echo’s warranty, or to register new pieces of equipment, click here.
User Friendly
Echo power equipment is lightweight enough to easily carry around the yard while you’re using it, yet powerful enough to tackle tough jobs around your new house. Echo’s small homeowner chainsaws with a 12-inch or 14-inch cutting bar weigh well under 10 pounds each. Even larger homeowner saws like the powerful CS-400 and CS-450 only weigh 10.1 or 11.2 pounds.
Other user-friendly features include added handles and anti-vibration systems to make each piece of equipment comfortable to work with for short or long periods of time. The hedge trimmers are good examples of these features, with their comfort-handles designed for good balance and vibration-reducing engine technology.
