HC-165/185 specifications

The Echo HC-165/185 is a powerful and versatile hedge trimmer designed for both professional and home landscaping enthusiasts. Built with innovative technology and user-centric features, this model exemplifies Echo's commitment to quality and performance in outdoor power equipment.

One of the standout characteristics of the Echo HC-165/185 is its robust engine. Equipped with a high-performance 21.2 cc engine, it delivers a remarkable power-to-weight ratio that enhances maneuverability while tackling tough hedges and shrubs.

An ergonomic design plays a significant role in the overall usability of the HC series. The hedge trimmer is equipped with an anti-vibration system that minimizes operator fatigue during extended use. Additionally, the adjustable handle ensures a comfortable grip for users of varying statures, making it easier to reach high or low areas without straining.

Another innovative technology incorporated in the Echo HC-165/185 is the Easy Start system, which simplifies the starting process. This system reduces the effort required to start the engine, enabling users to get to work quickly without unnecessary frustration.

Durability and maintenance are also priorities in the design of the HC-165/185. The trimmer's construction features a high-quality build that can withstand the rigors of frequent use, while easy access to the air filter and spark plug simplifies maintenance tasks.

Overall, the Echo HC-165/185 combines power, efficiency, and user-friendly features, making it a top choice for those looking to maintain their landscapes with ease and effectiveness. Whether you’re a professional landscaper or a dedicated homeowner, this hedge trimmer aims to deliver superior performance and reliability, helping you achieve beautifully manicured hedges year-round.
