We used the trimmers between rose bushes, down the edge of a driveway, and around fire pits. During testing, we paid attention to overall ease of use, balance, ergonomics, handling, and noise. But it does require you to maintain an engine and keep gas on hand. After new tests, the Ego ST1511T Power+ String Trimmer with Powerload is our pick. We’ve added the Worx WG170.2 GT Revolution 20V PowerShare String Trimmer and Edger as a pick for small lawns.
The actual model number is the EGO ST1623 and it includes a carbon fiber shaft that extends and retracts 6-inches. The PowerLoad feature automatically pulls the .095″ string trimmer line into the head by just holding a button. The Line IQ feature automatically senses when the line is short, then it automatically feeds out the right amount of line.

It’s much smaller than the Ego ST1511T and nowhere near as powerful, but it’s great on grass. And it has some ergonomic adjustments not found on competing models that make it comfortable for people with various body types. This model comes with a small set of wheels, which adjust to convert the trimmer into an edger and even a very small mini-mower. We found that the Worx was quieter than its competitors. And it’s priced in the middle range of what similar models cost.

I don’t expect the current iterations of battery operated tools will last 10 years, without factoring for the batteries which probably won’t make it that long either. There’s not really a mower designed to cut that kind of land, and I’d have to have more trimmer/blower batteries than I’d like to pay for. I’d prefer to have the attachment system and a split boom.
It’s a silly term for a welcome and cool feature. To load string into the trimmer, all you need to do is cut the length of string you need (for me, it’s a little over two outstretched arm’s length—not very precise). Ego Powerload String Then just feed one end into and through the trimmer head. Pull the string through until you have equal lengths coming out of both sides of the trim head. Lightly hold the string creating a tiny bit of tension.
