#1 RATED BATTERY POWERED PLATFORM The only cordless 2-stage snow blower that delivers the power and performance of gas without the noise, fus… I also have the leaf blower and the hedge clippers. The battery will eventually die, but the one that died on me was replaced under warranty. I also had a charger die which was out of warranty, but I have four batteries and three chargers so that’s not really a problem. The EGO Power+ 15” POWERLOAD String Trimmer Is a pleasure to use. Just slide the battery into place and start trimming.
With our Fix app, you always have a personalized repair guide on-hand. Easily find manuals and replacement parts on your phone while you’re DIYing in the garage or garden. Every EGO POWER+ product features our industry-leading ARC Lithium™ battery technology. As I recall, the only pain in the is their convoluted product registration process, and customer service requires a speaker phone and a Netflix movie to watch. They supposedly have a call-back option, but that never works. Just be prepared to wait 45 minutes or so.
The battery will hold its power for 30 days, so there’s no worry if it has been sitting for a while. The battery can also be left in the charger—it won’t overcharge. The build quality of most of the battery operated chainsaws, trimmers, blowers that I’ve held do not feel very skookum. 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 like to see them bring out an attachment system capability with the CF shaft but I wonder how the real weight savings over the AL shafted products actually is. No more mixing gas and oil but still having the power.
However, I do have an area that I had let become overgrown and had not touched it the past 2 summers. I decided to put the EGO trimmer to the test, but I did not expect it to have enough power to handle this area. The trimmer did not back down from this challenge, I run my weed eaters pretty hard and this trimmer tore through the weeds quickly and effectively. I recommend this trimmer, but I would have to say it is a good idea to get the 5ah battery or have a second battery on hand. I bought the trimmer and leaf blower both with batteries so I can have a spare.

EGO has taken this pain point away with the World’s First EGO POWERLOAD™ trimmer head. The 35cm cutting swath, bump-head line advancement, and professional-grade 2.4mm cutting line make this tool truly professional grade. EGO parts are designed specifically for your EGO POWER+ products and offer the highest quality, performance, and value. I bought one of their string trimmers, the low end mower, and a couple batteries.

Biggest thing – attachement capable as I was also getting the edger attachment. Never edging with a trimmer flipped over ever again – just not worth it. Many companies moved to a split shaft on it saves on shipping and boxes. But for others the split boom allows for an attachment system.
In the case of this system since the motor is on the end of the trimmer head – that sort of negates the attachment idea. Otherwise you would put motors in each attachment. It seems this Swiss made spray blower will work with Metabo 18V batteries, this brand just joined CAS with Metabo. They have other battery operated tools also. The testing conditions were very aggressive and very demanding. It’d be better if I could rent a brush cutter or mower, but the EGO 15″ trimmer worked well and even better than I had expected.
The handle placement provides a central point that balances the heavier parts really well. Several of us put the EGO Carbon Fiber String Trimmer through its paces for well over an hour each, and none of us needed a bottle of Tylenol or a stiff drink afterward. The adjustable shaft length and adjustable handle make it easy to change users and positions very quickly. You can get the EGO ST1623 as a kit with the 4Ah battery, and the charger for $299.
The batteries run plenty of time in the mower. With both batteries charged, the whole lawn and trimming gets done easily. On paper, there’s a lot to love about the Ego Power+ 15-inch Powerload with its lightweight carbon fiber shaft, auto feeding spool, and variable speed settings. I have had corded electric and gas string trimmers for decades. I have found them all so very frustrating that I sold my last one for dirt cheap and did without for over a year.
