PAS-225 specifications

The Echo PAS-225 is a versatile and powerful outdoor power tool designed for homeowners and professionals who demand efficiency and reliability in garden maintenance tasks. This product stands out in the market due to its innovative features and robust technology that simplify yard work while maximizing performance.

One of the main features of the Echo PAS-225 is its lightweight design. Weighing only about 10.5 pounds, this power head is easy to maneuver, reducing user fatigue during extended use. The unit is equipped with a low-emission, 21.2 cc professional-grade, 2-stroke engine, which not only delivers ample power for various attachments but also complies with stringent emission regulations, making it an environmentally friendly option.
