EGO Power+ST1511T 15-Inch 56-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless POWERLOAD String Trimmer Kit with Telescopic Aluminum Foldable Shaft, 2.5Ah Battery and Charger Included, Black

I researched similar products before buying and this brand and model was always coming top or near top in reviews. I had a big hillside of weeds to clear, some 6ft tall. I knew it would be expensive to pay someone to clear so took a chance, not knowing what to expect. All I can say is…wow. This thing made short work of it all. It took me a couple of days to learn how best to use the product, how to maximize the wire, how to tackle stubborn weeds, but once I did, it was a joy to use. The battery lasts a long time and is quick to charge. Buy extra lengths of string if tackling a big job and learn how to ensure it lasts a long time. My wife was skeptical but no longer. Make sure you wear safety glasses and protect your feet and arms as things get thrown around and at you. I saved around $2k clearing the hillside myself taking about an hour a day over a week. Fantastic, powerful and well built product with the added benefit of a long warranty. Only gripe is that I wished I purchased sooner

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Replaced my gas trimmer with this electric trimmer from EGO. Love it! Easy to put together and easy to use! Lots of power from this 56 volt trimmer. The automatic feature to replace the line is fantastic!

Bern using a four stroke gas trimmer for years. I decided to try a battery powered one. Very glad I bought this one. Highly recommended. Very easy to use and adjustable shaft length us a back saver.

I’d give this trimmer 4.5 stars if that were an option. It is an excellent trimmer. I have other EGO power tools that use the 56v batteries and am very pleased with them. The auto-load feature for the string was what sold me on this trimmer. My other trimmers required me to either wind new string on the spools myself or spend too much $$ to buy pre-loaded spools. Reloading string with this trimmer is very easy. We have a small lot but a lot of landscaping that requires trimming and the battery life in the 2.5ah is fine. The trimmer has lots of power and having two speeds is a plus when trimming thick things. It’s a little heavy but is balanced well. The only thing I’m not pleased with is edging. My other trimmers worked well to edge along sidewalks and curbs. This trimmer does not edge well. Even at its lower speed it is awkward to edge with it and I end up with an uneven look. My solution is the buy the EGO edger. Had I known I’d need a separate edger I would have gone with the power head option for the trimmer and swap out the trimmer for the edger attachment when needed. Live and learn.

This trimmer kicks a**! Paired it with Echo Black Diamond line. Just moved into a home with an overgrown terraced back yard. It was full of dead (in other words, HARD) weeds averaging pencil-size diameter (some up to 1/2"). Cut through those like a hot knife through butter (sorry if I sound like a Ginsu knife commercial). Not as much of a pain as a gas-powered trimmer, but plenty of power. Highly recommend this trimmer -- would give it 6 stars if I could!! EDIT: another bonus is that I have an Ego that uses the same battery, so I always have one charged up…

Great, so far, much better than the Ryobi I got before!Assembly is so easy you won't believe!Best I have had for a long time!

Lo compré hace un año para uso doméstico,lo he usado a penas en 14 ocaciones y ya no funciona, y no es la batería; pues tengo 2 en muy buen estado.Me comuniqué con el Equipo de atención al Cliente me atendieron bien y me remplazaron el equipo.

First off, I like the EGO weedwacker with the additional stand up straight arm that I bought. Disappointed in the charger that does not have isolation rubber feet and therefore produces a loud hum when charging the battery. Also disappointed in the 2.5 AH battery. I was able to do about 1 acre before it gave out and needed charged. I was able to mow that acre and the battery was charged so I could continue.
