Ratings & Reviews for Husqvarna 525LST Mark II 25.4-cc 2-cycle 19.3-in Straight Shaft Gas String Trimmer

Commercial power without the commercial-grade bulk

I've run a few professional-grade string trimmers over the years, and the thing that immediately stood out with the Husqvarna 525LST Mark II is how manageable it feels in the hand — it doesn't lug around the back-breaking heft you'd expect from a true commercial trimmer, so you can run it all day without your shoulders and forearms giving out. Don't mistake the lighter feel for weaker performance, though: the high-torque gearbox has plenty of muscle, and it really shines when you swap over to a ...

Superior to Stihl!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've slowly switched to all Husqvarna equipment over the last 5 years. This trimmer is lighter, more powerful and the ergonomics are better than the Stihl FS94R it is replacing.

Great power to get the job done!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve only used this once and am so glad I went with the 525 series weed trimmer as I’ve always bought cheaper ones before. This thing powers through heavy weeds and grass with ease.

Just bought our 2nd one!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We just purchased our second Husqvarna 525LST trimmer because we got so many years of dependable use from the first one. It performed exceptionally well and proved to be one of the best outdoor power equipment purchases we've ever made. Over the years, our positive experience with Husqvarna has turned us into true fans of the brand. In addition to our trimmers, we now own Husqvarna chainsaws, a snow blower, and other equipment. The quality, ...

Long lasting durability

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought a 326lx 22 years ago.After all those years of real abuse/use, it started and worked flawlessly year after year. When it came time to replace it, I didn't hesitate for a second to go right to the Husqvarna. So far , very impressed with the new 525lst model.

String trimmer head.

Great piece of equipment, only thing that I disagree with the machine is the head, it should come with a speed feed besides the bull crap at the end of it when you buy it. you gonna sell commercial equipment how about put a commercial head on it also.

Powerful and efficient

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed an upgrade from a 128LD Husqvarna string trimmer. I have heavy use throughout the year in the south East. I love everything Husqvarna makes in their professional category of equipment. The 525 is somewhat quiet, feels very balanced in the hands. This machine has a lot of torque and easy to start. I like the design a lot. It functions fine in this hot weather. I really like the wide cutting capacity it offers. Thanks again Husky for not...

Very nice weed eater

This weed eater is very nice. Husqvarna is already a fantastic brand and this tool is great. Started on the first pull and is very easy to use.

525LST Mark II

I bought this a couple days ago. This is to replace a husqvarna I used for about 15 years. It is lighter and quieter than my previous model. So far, it have performed as advertised.

Excellent Trimmer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this as a replacement for my battery-powered line trimmer, and the difference has been impressive. It has plenty of power, cuts through thick grass and weeds with ease, and allows me to finish my yard work in about half the time. It’s been a great upgrade and has made maintaining my property much easier. Highly recommended!

Amazing Weedeater

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Quality was there from first start. It functions quiet enough not to need hearing protection, vibration doesn't hurt my hands like with my last weedeater, and the prefilled spool made things easy. Not to mention the power of this model can handle heavy brush.

trusted brand

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just purchased. Previous Husqvarna products have been great

Best string trimmer I have owned and used.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the 525LST today and used it as soon as I got it home. It started up on the first pull and cut like nothing I've used before. My hilled usually takes me 3 full days with my 128LD, but I cut over half the hillside in less than a day. The power and torque of the 525LST is amazing, it cut through the toughest brush and thick grass with such ease. It fell like it ways less than my old 128LD so I dont feel as fatigued at the end of the day....
