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.

The Backpack Link is a universal system allowing the user to put the weight of any EGO battery on your back rather than on the tool or in your hand for convenience. Cordless electric string trimmers are a conven… I too had a battery issue with the blower I reviewed—after the review ran. I couldn’t tell if the issue was the battery or the charger, but I was told they would send a new battery regardless—which I received a few days later.

I was able to trim around chain link fences, edge sidewalks and cut through the toughest grass and even thin branches that crop up in my yard around trees. You might think that almost all trimmers do this trick and you would be correct, But not all trimmers are this quiet and vibration-free. In fact, I when I began using it, I worried if it was operating at full power because it was so quiet.

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.

EGO has taken this pain point away with the world’s first EGO POWERLOAD™ trimmer head. Rewind your line faster, simply insert the line into the head and press the POWERLOAD™ button. The 15 in cutting swath, bump-head line advancement and professional-grade 0.095 in. Cutting line make this tool truly professional-grade.

It does just fine around chain link, but that really depends on your line choice. I love the ECHO twisted line, it cuts really fast and well, but around fence, if just gets chewed up. There is tougher line that doesn’t eat away, but then it usually doesn’t cut as well either.

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.
