It’s a little heavy but it helps to cradle the battery end under the arm. You cannot do that with a gas model. I ordered the shoulder strap which appears to be padded. It was about $10. Gas modes have always been a bothersome hassle and I almost smile when I see people struggling with the typical gas units. If they only knew!
Much I like about it and I rarely give 5 stars, but will here. I bought this to replace a “Worx” 20v. This Ego 56v runs circles around it like a blur and works as well as any gas model I have experienced. I have a ranch home with attached three car garage and surrounded with nice landscaping. I have landscaping in other areas of my property as well to include a long and wide driveway. This new Ego56v unit that came with the charger and battery was the best price than anywhere else. If you’re not careful you could get this same unit at the same price of $229, but…without the charger and battery. And they aren’t cheap. Unlike the old 20v Worx I used for about four years requiring two batteries to do everything, this new Ego did it all without any disruptions and I found I could run it without even releasing the trigger throughout the entire job. And point of fact, after I finished and cleaned the unit, the battery only took about 12 minutes to completely recharge and that includes the charger fan stopping. That cooling fan on the charger is a very smart and wise engineering move. With a large 56v battery that’s necessary. Well done! The string does extend as you trim or cut as advertised without requiring bumping it on ground. It says it will self wind any new string when it runs out of string but it will be a while I believe before I will see how well that works. I am not sure how long I ran it, perhaps about 40-45 minutes and it never wavered or lost any spinning power.
I recommend this particular unit. But you must have a place to sit the charger cause it’s large and heavy. It says you can hang it on the wall but I don’t want to do that, so it sits on my work bench with two other charges for other tools. It does seem pricey perhaps, but when you consider the large 56v battery with charger it’s really not a bad price. I haven’t owned a gas model for years and would never again, especially with the cost of gas and lubricants and parts.
