wonder how the poor brainwashed echo brigade will respond to me calling the echo 355 out as just another sluggish vibration-prone unbalanced wimpy piece of echo shyte? Going by the vid I see NOTHING has changed, just another mediocre pile of junk, look at the bloody exhaust port for krissakes, how ****** strangled can ya get? TYPICAL gutless echo methinks
I've seen those ports on chinese junk saws with their tinfoil metals and brittle plastics, looks to me rather than improving, these echos are getting even worse than they were previously.... Wow, never really thought that could happen

Looks like the same kind of porting as the CS400 which is a strong saws for 40cc. Steve

you say you have seen bunch of these little echos' blown up. do you have any pics for proof?
seems even the people that usualy buy the 200t's like the little echos' when they run them. they usualy end up buying a few and never look back to the very problematic, very expensive to fix stihl.
you say you base your "opinion" on "experience", just wondering if you have anything to back your "experience" up.
come on pgg, back up what you claim. or are you going to go cower in the corner like sawtroll when confronted with a challenge to one of your claims.
oh thats right! no proof, no pics, no vid, nothing to back up your claim of the 'death rattle', just useless insults and bogus info. the usual.
PGG has already admitted the ones blown haven't been tuned and most on here know a saw will sieze when run lean. Steve

yes, however this is far from his description of a 'death rattle'. if he's had as many (or seen) of these small echos' all blown up, or siezed or over heat, he must have proof if he's making the claims he does.
i suspect if he's had probems in the past he needs to learn proper operating and maintenace practices. however, i feel some people just have too many rocks in there head to figure that part out.

I really think that's what's rattling when PGG runs a Echo. Steve

Ignore the trolls and they will go away. Keep responding and they will always return for more.

I see a lot of badmouthing against Echo saws by one individual. Sounds like unfounded bitterness for reasons unknown. Occasionally, an idividual will have one bad experience with a product/dealer and thereafter go on a life long campaign against it/them. Sort of like cutting off your nose to spite your face. Only one loser in that deal.
I've primarily owned larger (60cc plus) Jonsereds saws for over 30 years. Great performing, tough, durable and heavy saws. About five years ago I bought a rear handle Echo CS346 just to have a lighter saw to use. I have nothing negative to say about it. I did mod the muffler and adjust the carb accordingly. Other than that it's add fuel/oil and sharpen/replace the chain as required.
I carry that saw everywhere I go and prefer to use it when conditons warrant which is most of the time.
I'm not a "brand loyalist" however, I do own several pieces of Echo equipment and appreciate/respect every one. They all fire up willingly and do what they're designed to do quite well. I also own Stihl, Redmax, Shindaiwa two cycle powered products which are also fine. I see no distinct advantage of any of the above mentioned brands other than Echo's more attractive prices.
Anyone whose willing to badmouth and avoid a perfectly respectable brand for no substantiated reason is missing out. Especially when that product is sold at reasonable prices, carries a decent warranty and is supported by a large chain of dealerships/vendors.
Let him squawk all he wants. It's his loss.
