Thank you for the great demonstration and explanations in your videos. I bought the DPAS 2600 BECAUSE of your videos and absolutely love it. Works great, especially with the 5 amp hour battery. I also subscribed because of this video. Thanks again!
Thank you for subscribing and commenting. I really appreciate it. The 2600 is a really great piece of equipment. I've been using it every day for work for 3 months now and it's extremely pleasant to use compared to running gas power equipment.
@@sololawnprofessional I couldn't agree MORE! Give the hands a break from the gas powered vibration, plus I no longer have to buy/mix 50:1 gas + oil.
How long is the run time per setting?
Yes sir battery is definitely the ticket 💯 Good review I'm getting onboard 💪🏽
This is a great trimmer but you will have to buy multiple batteries to use it like a gas trimmer.
@@sololawnprofessional I'm finding that out I currently run the Greenworks line I have 3 batteries now but I realize that the trimmer and blower demand the most from battery 🔋
I have been using echo equipment for 25 years now in my landscape maintenance company. This seems like a great piece of battery powered equipment to add to my line of echo equipment. Thanks for the great video.
Thank you for the comment. This a great piece of equipment, the only bad thing is there is nothing to R&R in the winter.
Great video. I have the PAS 225 with several attachments. I think this will be a great way for me to move into a battery platform and utilize the same tools. Thank you! 👍
Thank you for the comment.The 2600 is a great choice, it will give you a better experience than the 225.

Thanks for the video
Thanks for your comment. I've had this for 2 years now going on 3. This is really excellent piece of equipment
Great Video.. Thanks
Thank you, I have a video about the Echo eForce 2100 as well, if you don't need the commercial model.

Been thinking about one
This is a great choice for professional use.
Awesome video. Really helped me make the decision to pick up the pas powerhead, blower, and a couple batteries. Ill let you know how they hold up. Im tired of pulling and fighting with gas cans when im trying to bounce from small yard to small yard in the city. Ill update on how things work out.
Thank you,
I've been using it for 5 months with the string trimmer and the hedge trimmer and it is truly an excellent piece of equipment.
Update?
Right now I have a full mowing season and half of this one with the 2600. It's excellent. The only problem with it is you have to buy a lot of batteries to run it unless your just doing your own lawn, just get a five amp hour and you will be completely fine. As far as runtime goes I don't count in minutes but what I can get done with each battery I can do two quarter acre lots, regular string trimming and cleaning up the sidewalks with one 2.5 battery and four lots with the 5.
In this video below, I used the 2600 with the one 2.5 battery to trim the property and then i switch there to the five amp hour to edge it
czcams.com/video/MKKP8yElfCU/video.html
I got one. Got 8 houses outta the 5 & the 2.5 amp hour battery together. It feels like a Tesla but a trimmer. So smooth. I did a First impressions on my channel
Definitely a really nice trimmer
With the 5.0 battery I get roughly 45 minutes of continuous use not just holding the trimmer while walking. For me that's four or five quarter acre lots and cleaning up the edges along the sidewalks.
So, it's not technically a three-speed? It's variable speed, in three ranges? Good review. I've had my old commercial Echo PAS unit for about 28 years. I had the string trimmer and the brush cutter attachment from day one. I just bought the articulating hedge trimmer attachment for it. Expensive, but well worth the money. Wished I would have bought it 20 years ago. All of my equipment is pretty much professional even though I don't do it for a living. But then, here we are, almost three decades later with the same stuff. Looks like battery powered lawn maintenance equipment is becoming commercial use dependable.
Thank you! This has three speed ranges. The setting three I would say is the same as a gas power trimmer as far as trimmer head speed where the other two settings are much lower maximum RPM. The only real downside is you have to buy multiple batteries if you have a larger property or you do multiple lawns.
What mic and camera are you using? Sounds and looks great!
GoPro 9 for the field use and Canon M50 for the table top with the DJI wireless microphone system
That is awesome! In the tall grass what are you using? I don't think I've seen that on any website.
This is the Edgit pro disc. It assists in edging sidewalks the disc doesn't cut, the trimmer lines doing the cutting. It takes a little time to get used to running it, but once you get used to it, you really can't trim without it.
Does it use the same attachments as a gas one? Or do they just have an equal that works for the battery powered one?
It uses the gas powered pas attachments. All the attachments work great except for the bed redefiner which just works okay
The only reason I'm looking into this Echo 56V is I have attachments from the gas Echo PAS 225 trimmer and I heard the PAS line of attachments fit the battery-operated trimmer.
I recommend this model the 2600 over the 2100 it's better in every way well worth the extra money and definitely better than the 225
I have had an SRM 225 for 12 years. When it craps out I’m thinking about switching over to this 56V 2600. Still hesitant since it costs more
I own both of the battery powered Echo units the 2100 and 2600 comparing the two the 2600 is definitely better . The 2600 has a longer run time better performance the only downside to both of these is you really need to have the 5 .0 battery which is extra cost if you're buying the dpas unit over the dedicated 2600 which comes with it.
What about the 5 amp battery does it do better I seen you used it on some things and not others does the 5 amp battery fit anything else? or just that item?
Let me give you a quick review now that I've had the trimmer for almost a year and have used it full time.
This is an excellent trimmer. The only problem with it is you have to buy extra batteries to run it all day. You mainly see me using the 2.5 battery because it's lighter. To get the most out of the 2600 you need, the 5 amp hour battery gives you the most consistent feel in the most run time. I can do 2 quarter acre lots with the 2.5 battery if I'm being conservative and one yard if I'm not. When I go out to work now this is the trimmer I use.
I have the 2600, 2100, 5000 chainsaw and the hand blower and you can use the 5 amp hour battery with them as well.
You still like it ? Really considering buying the dsrm version..
Yes this thing is great. I've only used my 2620 for 1 hour in the last 4 months. The only downside with the battery powered is you need to buy multiple batteries to get a day's worth of work out of it. It took me about a month to really get used to using the string trimmer and learning how to conserve battery power.
Only thing that bothers me is not controlling the speed of the trimmer.. I dont like the 3 cycle settings for speed! I like being in complete control of the speed as I squeeze the trigger.. still a good trimmer but thank you for the review.. I'll stick with a gas echo.. jus love the power it has and how light weight they are.. need to buy a new blower though
Thank you for your comment. I misspoke in the video about the speed settings. I'll make another video to clear that issue up.
Compared to a gas powered unit, the three different settings setting one gets you to about half throttle even though you pull the trigger in all the way. Setting two three quarters and setting three wide open. It's completely variable. I just run the trimmer on setting three and just use the other settings for the hedge trimmer.
Anyone understand the difference between the DPAS-2100 and the DPAS-2600? It's the same battery? and same trimmer head? Why is the run time different?
I have both units the 2100 and the 2600.The 2600 is the commercial model, you get extended run time and higher level of performance with all the attachments. You can use the same two batteries the 2.5 and 5. 2600 uses a professional trimmer attachment where you get a homeowner grade model with the 2100 but they use the same speed feed 400. The 2600 has extra built-in features to give you extended runtime
I want one
The 2600 is definitely the way to go over the homeowner grade 2100
The 2600 has better performance and run time.
What is the part number for the edger pro want that for my eforce weeder

I have a gas powered PAS. Will those attachments work on the battery powered unit?
This battery powered 2600 will accept all the attachments that you bought for your pas gas powered unit.
The attachments I'm using in this video are the ones I bought for my gas powered Pas 225
How long with the hedge trimming attachment last with a 5ah battery
Unfortunately I never run it with a 5, I run mine with the 2.5 battery and I get about 25 minutes.
Very interested in this machine, not a whole lot of videos on CZcams about it... I was looking at the Stihl KMA 135r but the weight is putting me off
Let me give you a quick review. This is an excellent battery power trimmer. Plenty of power, really enjoyable to run and if you run the small battery it's light as feather but you just don't get that runtime like you do with the big battery. Overall, I think this is a better used as an attachment model over a dedicated string trimmer. One thing I like to mention is it did take me a couple weeks to get used to running the trimmer having used a gas powered trimmer for over 20 years.
@@sololawnprofessional that's great, thank you for the reply. I very much appreciate it 👍🏻
Have you tried srm 520es, gas powered?
I have not. They don't sell that one here but I did watch a quick video on it and it cuts down small trees with ease
How does the noise compare? My 2620 sounds like a dirtbike.
The best part about the battery equipment is that it is completely quiet and vibration free. It does have some noise coming from the trimmer line. But it's not terrible.
@@sololawnprofessional thank goodness. I got all these attachments for the pas system and I was worried I'd have to switch to Ego or something and buy everything again.
Leaving the gaurd on trimmer is blasphemy lol
Definitely, I had a hard time using it for this video.
1 major problem when electric breaks it breaks and must be replaced unlike the gas counterpart
The 2600 is not a throwaway trimmer. You can buy all the replacement parts online. It's not as cheap as buying a carburetor and some fuel lines but it will get you going again without having to buy a new one.
@@sololawnprofessional so you can buy the motor and the whole unit or just the little pieces?
I double checked before I responded to your comment. You can buy all the plastic components and all the internal electrical components but you can't buy a complete powerhead.
@@sololawnprofessional okay so when it breaks it breaks, I was talking about the power plant part unlike the gas you can replace it all so I was right in what I was saying. Only reason they want to push electric so they can sell new units as opposed to just parts
So the reason why they're pushing the electric is for the emissions and upcoming banning of gas powered equipment. California has banned the sale gas powered lawn mowers in the near future. I believe these Washington DC has banned gas backpack blowers. If you're in an area where you don't have to deal with this, I would stick with a gas powered and you don't need to buy all the batteries to make a run because of the battery is what you have to worry about because you need a bunch of them to run the trimmer, not just the one that comes with it. That's the main expense of the battery powered equipment.
I bought one and I took it back after two weeks and bought another gas trimmer. It just wasn’t powerful enough. Maybe you can demo one for a few days but please don’t buy.
If you need to or want to switch to battery powered the 2600 is a way to go especially running the attachments. For my lawn business I prefer a dedicated gas powered string trimmer, I save the battery power unit for the stick edging and the bush trimming.
I hate mine too. I cant even use it for more then 4 HOA yards.
single handedly the worst review i ever saw y not use setting 3 the whole time thanks for nothing
Thanks for your feedback The settings are really not what you think they are. They are throttle stops. Setting one wide open only gets you half throttle. Setting two wide open only gets you 3/4. Setting three wide open is wide open
