EGO Power+ 56 V Cordless Brushless String Trimmer with POWERLOAD Technology 15-in Battery & Charger Included ST1521S

After the ten time in 30 mintes i boxed it back up and took ot back to the store. The trimmer also starts off strong for the first 30 seconds then tne power gets really weak. Maybe i got a bad one but ill never find out. The EGO Carbon Fiber String Trimmer runs $229 for the kit, which includes a 2.5Ah battery and charger. For those of you already on the EGO battery platform, the bare tool is available as well. The trimmer comes with a 5-year limited warranty.

It is attachment capable and they make an edger and hedge trimmer and blower attachments for it. As of now, I’m pretty sold on this EGO cordless string trimmer. I’ve been a fan of EGO cordless power tools, and this one is no different. For lighter jobs that will make up the majority of most homeowners’ need for a string trimmer, this model is overpowered. There are so many tools you need to have at your disposal to maintain your lawn well, and they can take up a ton of space. Multi-Head systems are a great way to have the right tools and reduce your overall equipment costs.

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.

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.

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 say temporary, because you have a 90-day return period , that you’re just going to return for a refund after getting your original tool back. Tool-free adjustments sometimes loosen up over time and can be a hassle to retighten, and so long-term the 4-screw shaft clamp will work just fine. I jammed the motor a couple of times, and it started right back up each time. I’d say that I abused the tool, and kept it running nearly continuously for a little over two hours. My three 5.0Ah batteries could have kept me going for even longer, but I ran out of line. During Testing, I didn’t make much use of the variable speed control.

Meanwhile overall I like the idea of the CF shafting I don’t like the foldable bit. Does their auto winder use the motor to rewind the string inside or it is some form of spring loaded. I think Stihl has a new setup that does something like autowind and the motor runs it back.

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.

This trimmer churns through thick grasses and stubborn brush with ease. This had our testers holding the trimer in awkward, un-ergonomic positions when doing smaller jobs. If you want a string trimmer to power through thick brush, this option works great. For cleaning up grassy yards after mowing, though, we advise you to look elsewhere. I originally purchased this trimmer to maintain weeds around my house.
