Summary:
Very Satisfied with the purchase...would make it again...Darn reliable saw...takes and keeps on Tickin!

Strengths:
Good Balance, Fast Handling, Cuts nicely.

Weaknesses:
I would like to see more accessories for the saw.

Summary:
Great saw, just one thing the engineers should fix.

Strengths:
Cutting speed, light weight, low vibration

Weaknesses:
Possible filter hold down cap vibrating loose and hold down bolt cutting brass threads in the hold down cap into tiny bits. Bits suck into engine. Filter cap needs a longer hold down bolt with a secure nut on top the cap or something. Dealer provided new parts, saying Echo felt the particles were not sucked into the engine. My reply was that the particles were scattered inside the filter area. How could some have not went through the engine? I have used two tanks of fuel and it still runs and cuts fine. But the filter cap vibrated loose in that length of time. The dealer had tightened the filter cap.

Summary:
Can't go wrong with this saw if you're looking for a reliable, fast limbing saw.

Strengths:
Reliable, well balanced, fast handling limbing saw with 16" B&C, good anti-vibe system, with nice power levels. One of the best handling saws out there in my opinion. Has never failed to start.

Weaknesses:
More accessories from Echo would be nice.
