I bought into the Ego system with an older string trimmer, the blower and the chain saw. I do wish the runtime on the blower were longer even with the 5.0Ah battery that came with the chain saw. The only negative experience I’ve had is when I broke the trigger on the string trimmer. I’d left the trimmer on the ground and I accidentally stepped on just the plastic trigger snapping it off right at the housing. Opened it up, removed the plastic trigger, looked online for the part number and found out that Ego wouldn’t sell the part to me.
The power is beyond impressive, and the Power Load feature is worth the additional investment. I have the two 5.0Ah batteries that came with my blower and mower, a 2.5Ah that came with the trimmer, a 2.0 that came with the hedge trimmer, and two additional 2.0Ah batteries I found on clearance. Needless to say, I can maintain my entire yard (well, front or back, can’t do both without recharging) with ease. I’ve been a fan of EGO cordless power tools, and this one is no different. I might have opted for the straight shaft version if I were purchasing the tool, but the split shaft version is less expensive and could potentially be folded back up for seasonal storage.
Like their other products, the EGO Power+ 15” POWERLOAD String Trimmer is made of durable green and gray plastic housing—except for the carbon fiber shaft. This shaft arrives folded in two that needs to be straightened and locked down with a provided hex key . The only assembly is attaching the protective debris shield and handle. It’s a good thing I photographed the trimmer when it was new and shiny because after one session, it looked like it has been used for years .

Its telescoping shaft and handle are easy to adjust and make the tool very comfortable to use, even for extended trimming sessions. I guess I have been fortunate in my EGO experiences. I have both the blower and hedge clippers and they have been great. I always have one battery sitting on the charger Ego Powerload String and I am using the other. This trimmer looks great and ‘almost’ makes me want to start mowing and trimming my yard again. 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.

You never realize how important that is until you don’t have it. Another nice feature is that the trimmer only runs when the trigger is pulled. Once the trigger is let go, the motor stops—so the battery is only in use while the trimmer is spinning. With gas trimmers, the engine runs constantly whether the trimmer is trimming or not. REVIEWS – A couple of years ago, I reviewed the EGO Power+ 530 CFM Blower. I had never used a battery powered yard tool before and absolutely fell in love with its convenience and awesome power.
