I'm looking to replace the trimmer head on my 2019 Dewalt DCST925 Model 1 trimmer. I've found a few options:
1. Dewalt Quick Feed DWZSTH999 (around $40 at Amazon)
2. Dewalt Quick Feed DWO1DT995 (about $25 at Amazon)
3. Husqvarna T35 ($32 at Amazon)
4. Echo Speed Feed 400 ($27 at Amazon)
I've read mixed reviews about the Dewalt heads, especially that the plastic bump cover wears out quickly. I've heard the T35 is well-rated, but I'm hesitant about another "two channel" design, even though it doesn't seem to jam like the stock head. The twist and feed feature of the Dewalt and Echo heads catches my attention, as I'll use this trimmer every few weeks for my yard, especially along a 60' wire mesh fence that eats up line quickly. Since I'm retired and on a budget, I want to make the right choice the first time. Thanks for any advice!

Check out ProjectFarm’s video on string trimmers for some really good and unbiased comparisons. It's a great resource to help you decide based on real-world performance.
I’ve used the Husqvarna T35, and while it has some limitations in line capacity, I found it easier to load than the Dewalt heads. It really depends on your personal preference, but for homeowners like us, it's a solid choice if you don’t mind reloading a bit more often.
