Get over 60-minutes of continuous cut time when used with the included EGO 56V 4.0Ah ARC Lithium™ battery. Patented POWERLOAD technology automatically winds your trimmer line. A carbon fiber shaft makes it the strongest string trimmer on the market
With the included charger, the 2.5ah battery can be ready for another 30-minute job after about 50 minutes of charging. 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 . I might try it with a 2.5Ah battery, but I don’t think there will be much benefit to ergonomics or weight.
It is attachment capable and they make an edger and hedge trimmer and blower attachments for it. As of now, I’m pretty sold on this EGO cordless string trimmer. I’ve been a fan of EGO cordless power tools, and this one is no different. For lighter jobs that will make up the majority of most homeowners’ need for a string trimmer, this model is overpowered. There are so many tools you need to have at your disposal to maintain your lawn well, and they can take up a ton of space. Multi-Head systems are a great way to have the right tools and reduce your overall equipment costs.
EGO parts are designed specifically for your EGO POWER+ products and offer the highest quality, performance and value. Great tool except the engineers who signed off on the variable speed trigger must not use string trimmers much. The new trimmer is not really variable speed like the old model. The new one is basically two speeds – fast and faster with nothing much in between.
