EGO POWER+ String Trimmer, Battery Powered, 15" Trimmer for Weeds and Grass with POWERLOAD, Includes 56V 4.0Ah Battery and Charger - ST1523S

So my beloved old Snapper one finally broke and I had to cave in buying a new trimmer, since I am the wheedwackerlady in our house... And THIS thing is a BEAST!!!! Meaning: Powerful, super easy to use and lasts FOREVER!!!! The battery is more powerful than my last, so I did feel its weight a little in my wrist, but thankfully I got the strap, so once I had it all adjusted perfectly, I went and cleaned out the entire dog enclosure (roughly 40 by 50 feet) plus around the entire house and trees in the front and the garage and the barn ..... all with one charge - and in the end I still had TWO BARS left!!!! IMPRESSIVE!!!! My favorite is the easy use - it only needs a tiny tap and VOILA the string is perfectly long again (which is immediately audible) - and it cuts EVERYTHING that is willing to try to stand up against it LOL!!! I LOVE this new trimmer!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!

This is the best weed trimmer with the most power that I’ve ever owned and I’ve had several gas models. Just put them all to shame. The automatic feed works so well in it’s so easy to reload the battery. Life is over an hour at hard use, I’ve had no issues whatsoever with the unit working it’s also very well balanced. I would purchase this item again.

ABSOLUTELY love it. It's just as powerful as a gas trimmer. LOVE, LOVE LOVE the power load feature. Light weight. Easy to use. I haven't had a chance to use it fully because the Ego Battery that came with the trimmer was defective. So I had to quickly contact customer service to report the problem and request a WORKING Battery that takes 10-15 days to receive. Luckily, I had already purchased a 2nd 56V 5.0 Battery compatible with the EGO Trimmer that actually WORKED. Go figure. So this sort of killed my desire to use it to test its full capacity and run time. Despite the dead Battery, I still believe it's an awesome trimmer. I suggest you buy a 2nd backup Battery compatible for the Ego Trimmer . 4 Stars only because the Ego Battery was defective.

I have other EGO tools, so that was the initial drive to get a new string trimmer, but after getting this in-hand and using it.... WOW!!! It is wonderfully light and easy to move around with, without any type of supporting harness. It was preloaded with string which was nice, but that means I have not yet used the PowerLoad feature yet. I am also very impressed with how well it sliced through my grass. One thing I was key to try out was the bump-head to feed out more line... and it worked FLAWLESSLY. I've used string trimmers for 20+ years and I've never had one feed line so smoothly. I had quite a bit of trimming to do, but the 4.0ah battery easily let me work for 30 minutes with plenty of power left still in the battery. I have used gas trimmers up to this point, but I am very happy with the move to this battery powered trimmer.

So disappointed to have to write this review. After reading all of the positive reviews, purchasing, and then using it for a couple hours today, unfortunately this might be the worst string trimmer I've ever used. Everything initially feels like it's high quality (motor, overall design, etc.), and it's so close to living up to my expectations, but the "bump" string feeding is absolutely awful. Trimming works for about 30-60 seconds before you need to bump more string. It just doesn't work. It either comes out on one side only or (most often) doesn't come out at all. It's a good thing that the power loading works so well, because you will spend a lot of time using it. It's the only way to get more string - removing all of the string and reloading. Will be returning and looking elsewhere.

It's a little on the heavy side, but is well balanced, even with the heavy 4Ah battery. I have a pretty large yard, and have used it over a couple of days and still have not had to recharge the battery yet. This baby has a lot of power that easily cuts thru the many Bradford pear tree shoots that are all around my trees. Tapping the head on the ground to advance the trimmer line works extremely well. I don't have to pound it on the ground, just a light tap on the ground works great. The automated/powered line loading is a fantastic feature. I am amazed at the power of this trimmer, and it is easy to control the speed with the trigger. I did a ton of research before making this purchase. I am extremely pleased.

This has power to spare. It laughs at my yard.i can use a 2.5 ah/hr battery to edge and trim my yard and still have half battery left. I have 1/2 acre. I was so impressed I bought all ego. Hedger,trimmer,edger,blower. And love em! You need lawn tools? Buy these! You’ll love em! Finally a high quality tool meant to last.

This unit so far works great no noise no gas. Its not light, the larger battery and the unit itself are a little heavy. I have an ego blower and exchanged battery packs The blower gets more use and is in itself lighter the trimmer is used less but the smaller battery helps with the weight problem a win win. Had a little problem with the cord that came with the unit getting stuck but rewound the cord an so far ok. So far happy with the EGO products
