Echo DHCAS 2600HD Review

Posted by Peter sellers on July 15, 2026 at 12:34pm

As promised review of above- having being used to the likes of Stihl 92ce and Echo petrol hedge cutters was expecting to be underwelmed by this battery machine which was bought purely on the basis of weight. I was wrong.

 

This machine is awesome and is the best I have used in over 40 years in the trade. So many of these battery cutters have the motor at the blade end which make them front end heavy. The Echo motor is at the battery end it is beautifully balanced. Cutting performance is equal to petrol. The safety switch stays on for a sensible amount of time allowing you to move step ladders without having to constantly reset it and displays a light to show its on. It has 3 blade speeds 3500,4050,4600 the bottom setting is plenty fast enough for leylandi and laurel. Choice of 2.5 or 5ah batteries I went for 2.5 purely as I wanted to keep the weight down which is 5.3kg with this battery runtime is around 50 mins and there is a free battery offer on at moment. With battery and charger £770. The DHCAS 2600 is 2198mm the DHCA 2600 2483mm. If you are looking for a long reach get one !!
