Massive thumbs down on Echo Cordless mower and yard tools. I purchased a mower, blower and extra battery in July of 2016 so not quite 2 years of ownership and, given this is MN, a bit under 11 months of actual use.
All 3 original batteries have been replaced and now the replacements have been. Interestingly, given the high failure rate, I've never been asked to return a battery or charger for analysis, even when I've offered. This leads me to believe that my replacement frequency is not at all unique and that they have a quite widespread and known reliability problem.
Two of the replacement batteries are also all black (no Echo orange strip) and don't run as long as the originals so I'm guessing that these are older or reconditioned.
After being a life long Echo customer this will likely be the end of the line.
