ECHO CST-58V4AH
Another cordless string trimmer ideally suited for small to mid-size yards, the ECHO CST-58V4AH runs efficiently by letting you switch between the high and low power setting. We found that the bump feed head worked great at reloading the line, which is quite durable as a 0.095 and 0.080 inch twist line. Another convenient feature was the fairly long battery runtime, which can easily top an hour if used on the lower power setting. One thing we would have liked to see addressed is the balance; the trimmer feels heavier in the back than in the front, giving it a slightly awkward feel over long periods. However, the fact that this trimmer takes out the hassle of storing and mixing gas and complicated maintenance makes this a worthy purchase.
