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. For how infrequently I have to load, I’d say not worth $60.
The adjustable shaft length and adjustable handle make it easy to change users and positions very quickly. You can get the EGO ST1623 as a kit with the 4Ah Ego Powerload String battery, and the charger for $299. This includes a 5-year tool warranty and a 3-year battery warranty. The new thing is the Ego Carbon’s auto-wind feature.
Have used both commercial and consumer grade lawn equipment and power lawn tools for years. The EGO POWER+ 56-Volt 5.0Ah battery uses industry-leading ARC Lithium™ technology to deliver Power Beyond Belief™ and is compatible with all EGO outdoor power equipment. The EGO POWER+ 56-Volt 2.5Ah battery uses industry-leading ARC Lithium™ technology to deliver Power Beyond Belief™ and is compatible with all EGO outdoor power equipment. The EGO POWER+ 56-Volt 2.0Ah battery uses industry-leading ARC Lithium™ technology to deliver Power Beyond Belief™ and is compatible with all EGO outdoor power equipment.
The EGO Power+ 15” POWERLOAD String Trimmer Is a pleasure to use. Just slide the battery into place and start trimming. The sturdy build quality, indestructible shaft and quiet brushless motor make this trimmer—dare I say it—fun to use. Running in high, we were able to trim for just under 25 minutes continuously. That should be enough to cover most lawns up to 1/4 or 1/3 of an acre without trouble. If you need more runtime, moving up to the 5.0Ah battery doesn’t make this string trimmer unwieldy and is easier than stopping to go back to the garage for another battery.
The lower the total weight, but particularly the weight as it extends from the body, the happier your back will be. EGO is also moved away from a traditional shaft and moving to carbon fiber, starting a trend that others have followed. We don’t always name names when it comes to project managers, but this time I’m going to.
The reel only holds about 15 feet of line and you don’t want to try loading more or it may jam. But that limit is offset by the fact it’s super-easy to load new line on the reel. Just watch greenworks pro the YouTube videos to see how cool it is. I don’t need another string trimmer, but I’m still very tempted to get the Ego Carbon…. I’ve never heard of an “auto feed” string trimmer.
