I bought this 15″ model when it first came out as initial reviews suggested they finally designed a working head. I use it without the guard as that gives me much more precise control . If you are careful to always work opposite the string rotation direction, it’s not a problem. The trimmer I reviewed… Continue reading EGO 15″ Powerload String Trimmer w Carbon Fiber Shaft Kit 2 5Ah Batt

15″ Cordless String Trimmer w Carbon Fiber Split Shaft
The battery will hold its power for 30 days, so there’s no worry if it has been sitting for a while. The battery can also be left in the charger—it won’t overcharge. The build quality of most of the battery operated chainsaws, trimmers, blowers that I’ve held do not feel very skookum. There’s not really… Continue reading 15″ Cordless String Trimmer w Carbon Fiber Split Shaft
EGO 15 Carbon Fiber Foldable Shaft String Trimmer With Powerload Head
If you already own some EGO products and have enough batteries, the trimmer can be purchased sans battery at a lower price. Yes, the battery always dies sooner than I like, but the EGO batteries run at full power until they need recharging with no power fade—a great feature. Extra batteries can always be purchased,… Continue reading EGO 15 Carbon Fiber Foldable Shaft String Trimmer With Powerload Head
EGO 15 Carbon Fiber Foldable Shaft String Trimmer With Powerload Head
Finally, I found a trimmer that I actually enjoy using! It does an amazing job, the string doesn’t break off easily, the powerload works simply, the engine is quiet and powerful, and the battery lasts for the entire job. I use it to edge and trim a 2/3 acre yard with sidewalks, fencing, mulch beds,… Continue reading EGO 15 Carbon Fiber Foldable Shaft String Trimmer With Powerload Head
EGO ST1520 15″ Powerload String Trimmer with Straight Shaft Carbon Fib
There’s a little internal motor just to wind the string onto the head in a few seconds. We got 30 minutes of runtime out of the Ego Powerload String included 2.5 amp hour battery. Again, we actually longed for a less powerful speed setting for efficiency on light-duty jobs. Using the cultivator with a fully… Continue reading EGO ST1520 15″ Powerload String Trimmer with Straight Shaft Carbon Fib

I also have the leaf blower and the hedge clippers. The battery will eventually die, but the one that died on me was replaced under warranty. I also had a charger die which was out of warranty, but I have four batteries and three chargers so that’s not really a problem. There are other options… Continue reading EGO Powerload String Trimmer with Carbon Fiber Shaft
EGO ST1520 15″ Powerload String Trimmer with Straight Shaft Carbon Fib
In some extreme circumstances, only a gas tool will do—and we have a gas-powered pick for those. But those rarely apply to most people’s needs, so the rest of this section outlines our criteria for cordless string trimmers. Of all the trimmers we’ve tested, the Ego ST1511T Power+ String Trimmer with Powerload combines raw cutting… Continue reading EGO ST1520 15″ Powerload String Trimmer with Straight Shaft Carbon Fib
EGO Powerload String Trimmer with Carbon Fiber Shaft
You can also load either 0.080 or 0.095-inch line. If you have a lot of hard edges or fencing, go with the 0.095-inch. You’ll get more runtime out of the 0.080-inch if you don’t need the extra thickness, though. Ace Rewards members spending $50 or more are eligible to receive free Next Day delivery on… Continue reading EGO Powerload String Trimmer with Carbon Fiber Shaft
EGO Powerload String Trimmer with Carbon Fiber Shaft
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… Continue reading EGO Powerload String Trimmer with Carbon Fiber Shaft
