ECHO GT-222ES Bent Shaft Petrol Grass Trimmer
For keeping a garden looking neat without the hassle of a heavy or complicated machine, the GT-222ES is a straightforward and reliable choice. It's designed with the homeowner in mind — lightweight at 4.3kg, easy to start thanks to ECHO's ES system, and simple to handle with the loop grip giving you good control around borders, trees and fence lines.
The curved shaft is what sets it apart from straight-shaft models at this level. It naturally positions the cutting head at a comfortable angle for ground-level trimming, making it less tiring to use for extended periods and easier to manoeuvre in tight spots. It's not a tool for heavy-duty professional use, but that's not what it's designed for — for keeping lawns and garden edges tidy on a regular basis, it does the job well and without fuss.
The 21.2cc engine produces 0.7kW, which is ample for grass and light vegetation, and vibration levels are well controlled for a petrol trimmer in this class. At £239 it represents decent value for a petrol machine with ECHO's build quality behind it.
