EGO POWER+ String Trimmer, Battery Powered, 15" Trimmer for Weeds and Grass with POWERLOAD, Includes 56V 4.0Ah Battery and Charger - ST1523S

I was one of those people that would use a gas powered line trimmer and I absolutely hated it which meant I would trim like 2 times per year to reduce the amount of swearing and kicking that I did. When I was shopping for a new trimmer, I knew that I would never want to hand load the line and never have to try and clean the carburator ever again.... Well this EGO trimmer is absolutely fantastic in solving those 2 issues and so much more. The auto load on this is amazing, it starts up the minute I pull the trigger and the variable speed on the unit has my line lasting so much longer. Its relatively light weight and well balanced so its easy to move and adjust. The adjustment hand holder is good for being able to go from trimming to edging while keeping the tool comfortable to use. The battery life is every bit as much as 45 minutes, so if I want to go full out I don't even mind edging the driveway and sidewalks every other week or so. Just a much more enjoyable experience and I'm really glad I made the switch. I really like the product line that EGO puts out (good construction quality) and I'm considering going to one of their leaf blowers next to complement this guy.

I researched similar products before buying and this brand and model was always coming top or near top in reviews. I had a big hillside of weeds to clear, some 6ft tall. I knew it would be expensive to pay someone to clear so took a chance, not knowing what to expect. All I can say is…wow. This thing made short work of it all. It took me a couple of days to learn how best to use the product, how to maximize the wire, how to tackle stubborn weeds, but once I did, it was a joy to use. The battery lasts a long time and is quick to charge. Buy extra lengths of string if tackling a big job and learn how to ensure it lasts a long time. My wife was skeptical but no longer. Make sure you wear safety glasses and protect your feet and arms as things get thrown around and at you. I saved around $2k clearing the hillside myself taking about an hour a day over a week. Fantastic, powerful and well built product with the added benefit of a long warranty. Only gripe is that I wished I purchased sooner

I have other EGO tools, so that was the initial drive to get a new string trimmer, but after getting this in-hand and using it.... WOW!!! It is wonderfully light and easy to move around with, without any type of supporting harness. It was preloaded with string which was nice, but that means I have not yet used the PowerLoad feature yet. I am also very impressed with how well it sliced through my grass. One thing I was key to try out was the bump-head to feed out more line... and it worked FLAWLESSLY. I've used string trimmers for 20+ years and I've never had one feed line so smoothly. I had quite a bit of trimming to do, but the 4.0ah battery easily let me work for 30 minutes with plenty of power left still in the battery. I have used gas trimmers up to this point, but I am very happy with the move to this battery powered trimmer.

ABSOLUTELY love it. It's just as powerful as a gas trimmer. LOVE, LOVE LOVE the power load feature. Light weight. Easy to use. I haven't had a chance to use it fully because the Ego Battery that came with the trimmer was defective. So I had to quickly contact customer service to report the problem and request a WORKING Battery that takes 10-15 days to receive. Luckily, I had already purchased a 2nd 56V 5.0 Battery compatible with the EGO Trimmer that actually WORKED. Go figure. So this sort of killed my desire to use it to test its full capacity and run time. Despite the dead Battery, I still believe it's an awesome trimmer. I suggest you buy a 2nd backup Battery compatible for the Ego Trimmer . 4 Stars only because the Ego Battery was defective.

This weed whacker is WORTH EVERY PENNY!!! I was skeptical and hesitant in spending so much money on a product that trimmed my weeds. This trimmer is phenomenal. It trims better than any trimmer I've ever used. It cut my trimming time in half. It is powerful. The battery life is crazy long and it doesn't lose power while it is stored. I charged it 1X and I was able to trim & edge my front and back yard three times over a 6 week period! I live in a townhouse. It may be different for larger yards. It is a heavy duty tool that is sturdy too. THE BEST FEATURE - the automatic line feeder. You will never again have to deal with the hassle of refilling your line. You simply feed the line into a hole and push a button and the trimmer does the rest. Viola - refilled line just like that. A real time saver - no more frustration with line getting jammed because you didn't wrap it around the spool correctly. The only CON about this trimmer is that it is on the heavier side and my arms get fatigued after 10 -15 minutes .(I am a fairly physically fit 50+ woman and I have no problem using it) But, If you have physical limitations with lifting and holding heavier objects you may find this trimmer problematic.

Pas trop lourd, en aluminum, facile a configurer la longueur. Vient avec batterie et chargeur.

What took a very long time to get trimmed up with our old unit takes just a few minutes now. Lots of power and easy to use!

Very satisfied

I bought my first unit exactly three years ago, and right on cue, the battery stopped working almost to the day the warranty expired. Late I bought a second unit, in my innocence still having a bit of faith in online reviews, and the battery does NOT work. Complained to them to no avail. They want me to pay shipping back to them. Every time poor customer service. Buy at your own risk. They are better products out there that I am satified with. Ego batteries: stay away

Powerfull and not so heavy. There is 2-speed option. Battery last easily more than 30 min and charge in 50 min which is great!
