Gas VS Battery (Hedge Trimmers)

This past year, the lawn tool game has really stepped up its game. I have always used gas power equipment, although the newer battery equipment is giving gas a run for its money. In this video I compare the Echo HC-150 gas hedge trimmer to the Toro 60V hedge trimmer.

*Correction: I was holding up the echo and said you didn’t have to clean carb, filter etc… I meant you do have to*

✅Pros of gas: powerful, metal parts, long run time (gas refill pending), great cut quality.

✅Pro of battery: lightweight, plug and play, quiet. Great cut quality.

👎🏽Cons of gas: Loud, exhaust smell, mix gas, cleaning carbs/air filters and more maintenance.
👎🏽Cons of battery: limited run time per charge, more plastic, button on top to turn trimmer.

Overall, I really liked the Toro trimmer and would love to purchase one. I also want to try out the other 60V line up from Toro.

🤷🏽‍♂️ Why Toro? I have been using Toro lawn mowers since I was able to mow the lawn. Their mowers last forever and are very reliable. I have many mowers from them and hopefully will be adding more battery equipment!

🤷🏽‍♂️ Why Echo? When I did some side jobs landscaping, I read some reviews and went down to Home Depot and bought it. It has worked amazing for me over the past 7-8years I’ve owned it. It has been very reliable.
