5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful and very well-built.
Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2024
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice Trimmer

This is a nice little trimmer - I hate the maintenance of gas powered yard tools, and they are just too heavy for me. This trimmer was a nice option. It is definitely heavier than my previous electric trimmer (Ryobi), but it is definitely an upgrade. I used it for about 30 minutes, and it still has more than half battery power remaining.

I like the battery indicator light, the ease of adding/replacing line, and it is much more powerful than I would have expected an electric trimmer could be. The batter also charges quickly, so I could see this being great for a larger yard too.

For anyone who is dumb like me, when you "bump" the trimmer head to let out more line, make sure you do it while the trimmer is rotating. (Nowhere in any online descriptions does it specify that, and I couldn't figure out why more line wasn't feeding at first).

Time will tell if this one lasts long, but so far, it is far superior to any electric yard tools I have used in the past. I would highly recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Recommended...but not without flaws.

My 10+ year old trusty Echo gas trimmer finally started giving me issues. Even after a tune-up it was increasingly more difficult to start and I noticed it was leaking fuel. I couldn't quite determine where the fuel leak was, and given the age of the trimmer, I decided it was time for a new one.

I thought I'd go with another Echo or Stihl gas trimmer. But I saw these battery versions and they intrigued me so I decided to research them, and I ended up with this EGo trimmer.

I have a decently large property for a neighborhood at 12K sq ft. But it's not huge. My first concern was given the size of the lot, will the battery hold up? Not an issue at all. I still have 2 (of 4) bars after each trim. I can trim the lot twice before it needs a recharge. I have some concerns about longevity, but for now, this is 5 stars.

My second concern was power. On this matter, I can't go above 2.5 to 3 stars. The old Echo buzzed through grass like a hot knife through butter, and rarely did I run it at full throttle. Didn't have to! But even on high and at full speed, the EGo needs a bit more time to do the job. Don't get me wrong - it does it. But it's more like a lukewarm knife through a cold slab of butter. It's "workable" but it's iffy for folks with stands of weeds or anything thicker in nature. It's adequate, but less than exceptional on the St. Augustine grass I have.

This brings me to the 3rd item - weight and comfort while using. I'd say it's a bit less in weight than the Echo, but it's actually more tiresome to use. By the end, my right arm, which I use to grab the handle on the pole...is really getting cranky. And I think it's because it takes me longer to trim the entire yard than the old Echo, because it's less powerful. It also feels less balanced than the Echo. I tried a shoulder harness, and it made things worse instead of better and I only used it once because I was frustrated with the lack of free movement allowed by the harness.

Noise/Fumes - 10 out of 5! This is where it really shines. This thing is whisper quiet, there are no emissions, no gas to mix, no tune-ups to do, no fumes or emissions, and no crossing your fingers and hoping it starts this week. I also love how if I'm walking to spot to spot, or someone comes out to talk to me...just release the trigger and talk. When done, pull the trigger and you're right back to trimming. And it is all of the above as to why I plan to keep it until it dies.

Design and ease of use? Excellent overall. I love the adjustments that can be made and they are so easy to make. I haven't loaded new string just yet, but it looks amazingly simple. And to just grab it, pull the trigger and be ready to trim? That's pretty awesome.

Conclusion...Is this a perfect device? Nope. But if you're on a small to medium standard neighborhood lot with standard lawn grass you are trimming, and nothing overly thick...you'll be fine. Just crank it up to high and open the throttle and be a wee bit patient as it does take longer than a really good gas trimmer to work its way through the grass. It's plusses outweigh the negatives. 4 out of 5 overall. Good luck!

I really like this product. I did my research and by far it has been a good weed eater. It's light weight. Made with quality material. The battery is easy to install and charge. But best of all, the automatic stringer is awesome. Works great. I'm a female that's 56 yrs old and I do my own yardwork. This product is the best. I would purchase again.

EGO was smart and innovated around what is painful with traditional line trimmers. The "Powerload" is a must have feature. It works great. This trimmer has it. The other really cool feature is the "Line IQ" feature which this one does not have. You have to pay 2X to get line IQ which as a former product manager makes total sense. That is a premium feature and they should charge a premium for it. I had a perfectly good gas trimmer but forgot (again) to winterize it properly so here I am again needing to replace the gummed up carburator. As I recall it would cost like $100 vs pay $153 to never have to worry about that again. Simple decision. Seems like a well built machine. Also as a product manager making the same battery not only brought down their COGS but is a selling feature for getting people to buy all their products that all use the same battery. Good job EGO, you have done a perfect job of disrupting this industry. Now just be first with solid state lithium (or sodium) ion batteries and lock in your place for decades to come. I would recommend make the solid state the same size and just increase the run time and decrease the charge time. That way you can have interoperability with these existing batteries with those of the future. Like I said, pretty simple plan. Just go execute like you have already! Then my kids will read your case studies when they do their MBAs.
