The other really notable feature of the new EGO Carbon Fiber String Trimmer is the Powerload auto-feeding head. Anyone who has wrestled with loading fresh line into a string trimmer head understands this. Some systems work better than others—but none work as easily as the Powerload system. However, weight distribution plays a big part in how comfortable the string trimmer actually feels. The feather-light shaft doesn’t mean a whole lot if the trimmer is unbalanced. You wind up having to physically overcompensate by keeping the heavy side lifted up.
I always have one battery sitting on the charger and I am using the other. This trimmer looks great and ‘almost’ makes me want to start mowing and trimming my yard again. I also used to have the Stihl gas trimmer. A couple of years ago I finally gave up the fight and started having someone mow and edge every other week and I just mowed in between because I hated edging so much. I still get to maintain plant beds and I am waiting on the miracle yard tool that will help me keep bermuda and zoysia grass out of the beds. The included battery lasts about 20 minutes depending on how hard the trimmer is working and other factors.
We measured 87 decibels when holding it at arm’s length, and when spinning, this string trimmer produces a pleasant, even sounding hum. This string trimmer is most in its element when tackling thick weeds and grasses. It’s one of the most powerful battery-powered trimmers in our tests and rips through the neglected, brushy corners of the yard. If the brush is thick enough that the trimmer doesn’t blow it flat, the Ego Power+ is wonderfully effective .
May have to add “innovation beyond belief” to EGO’s tag line. This revolutionary tool puts an end to the tedious process of struggling to add line. The tool feels well built and performs as well as any gas trimmer I have used. Using a string trimmer doesn’t need to be a shoulder workout.

The sturdy build quality, indestructible shaft and quiet brushless motor make this trimmer—dare I say it—fun to use. I know my wife is intimidated by gas powered equipment, and I imagine it’s easier to get kids involved with electric stuff as well. With proper care/maintenance I expect 10 years out of a trimmer. 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. I’d prefer to have the attachment system and a split boom. The shaft for the end part comes out of a coupler.
The world’s first String Trimmer with POWERLOAD™ Technology. This patented technology solves for one of the biggest pain points of string trimmers, POWERLOAD technology automatically winds your trimmer. Replacing your string line is as easy as feeding the line into the head and pressing a button! The EGO POWER+ 15″ POWERLOAD™ String Trimmer has a Carbon Fiber shaft that is stronger than any other string trimmer shaft on the market today.
Cumbersome is the word that comes to mind after working with this string trimmer throughout the yard. Since we had to hold it at various awkward angles when trimming thinner brush, it’s not the model we want to use for bigger jobs, despite its power. It weighs 10 pounds, 10 ounces, putting it in the middle of the pack in terms of heft. The Ego Power+ 15-Inch String Trimmer with Powerload is all about power.
All EGO chargers charge all EGO batteries. The rapid charger will charge any EGO battery faster than the standard charger but all chargers work interchangeably. The new POWERLOAD system on this trimmer is great. Works as easily as advertised, insert the string, pull it even and push the button. It is one of those things you can’t believe no one had some up with before…
Then, when you arrive at the store of your choice, use the Instacart app to notify us. Depending on the store, a shopper or store employee will bring the groceries to your car, or you can pick them up at the designated area. Trim line doesn’t feed through to the other side and the bump advancer never works.

After some time I started trimming the taller weeds and grass from the top down, and then clearing them out from the side. I had a little trouble until I flexed the joint against a workbench and the holes lined up perfectly. The trimmer arrives folded up in a half-height box. To set it up, you close the hinged joint and fasten the two ends of the shaft together with a single screw. Then, it’s quick to attach the guard and front handle.
