And it has the smaller debris guard, which we didn’t like. It’s easy to see how much of a charge is left in the Ryobi. Having more than one EGO product allows you to always have one charging while you’re using a tool. From what I can tell, Powerload is nice but it’s still a lot of work so I decided to save the money. Be the first to hear about special offers, events, popular new items and helpful home improvement tips.
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 with the Powerload head, though. The ST1511T has a telescoping aluminum shaft instead of carbon fiber if you’d prefer to go that route.
It makes it very simply to find and understand how each mechanism works. I’m interested in battery powered lawn equipment. However, there are a few issues I still have with them.

Typical work around that’s recommended, if time is an issue is to drop off unit for warranty service, buy temporary replacement tool.
The Ego comes with a push-button line-load system, which eliminates the typically tedious process of putting new line on the spool head. There are a variety of systems that do this, but the Ego’s greenworks pro is the easiest we’ve tested. It wasn’t the lightest trimmer we tried, but its excellent balance and handle adjustments made it one of the simplest to swing around and maneuver in tight spots.
Whereas the other EGO straight shaft trimmer has the motor at the battery and a drive shaft. It is attachment capable and they make an edger and hedge trimmer and blower attachments for it. EGO is the way to go for home owner, battery powered , lawn equipment no doubt. Weed Eater and WeedWacker greenworks pro are both brand names of string trimmers. Ryobi has two other attachment-capable 40-volt models, but neither matches the power of our runner-up pick. The Ryobi RY40230 comes with a smaller battery; the RY40250 has a brushed motor, not the brushless one on our also-great pick, the RY40270.
