I went the cheap route, echo srm225 string trimmer and picked up the blade cutter kit for it, in it 275 total, does just fine around the house. We just bought a new house on 3 acres and the edges are overgrown with briars, weeds, some bamboo. Already found some rocks, cinder blocks and don't feel comfortable with a mulch head or bush hog and certainly don't want to brake any windows. Gonna take some time but so far it has been great....but its not commercial grade. This kit came with an 8 tooth blade, I am curious about better blades for it.
