I bought this to use for a lawncare buisness, and I used it maybe 4 times and kept it in the garage. Trust me, echos are amazing. This thing will last you forever, and it’s almost brand new. Anytime I see an echo at the dump or on the street or anywhere I always pick it up even if it doesn’t run because once they do they never die, it’s like the Toyota of lawncare engines. Never had an issue with it, starts right up and runs amazing
