EGO Power+ST1500-S 15-Inch 56-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless Brushless String Trimmer with Split Shaft- Battery and Charger NOT Included

I started with the EGO 21" Self Propelled battery mower and have been using it for 4 years with outstanding results. I broke down and bought the reconditioned Trimmer and Leaf Blower. I could not be more pleased. These units are all outstanding and, with the battery in place, are near perfectly balanced right at the trigger. You can't ask for anything more. Oh wait, did I tell you about the fully variable speed on each item? Simply amazing, seriously! Look and feel of a gas item offering the same result but the quiet and performance of a battery. No gas or oil to store and mix and starts every time. I wish the trimmer came with a guide for edging but it works and I am pleased with the outcome. The battery makes it so easy to use these items quickly without mixing gas or even getting out the long extension cord for my old plug in devices. Great job guys!

Investing in battery powered lawn tools was a little nerve racking at first, but Ego Power+ seems to be getting positive reviews across the internet. I jumped all in with a the weed whacker, leaf blower, and self-propelled lawn mower. I've been very happy with the decision.My yard isn't too big so it's a good match. I haven't had any issues with the weed whacker and it's great how easy it is to charge the battery, throw it in and start it up. No more gasoline, oils, gas cans etc. It's much quieter so you don't need ear protection. Eye protection is of course always a must. It takes care of weeds very well and I've never had a problem with the battery life. If I do, I have another battery from my other devices I can throw in. Based on my experiences I am definitely a fan of Ego Power+ and plan to invest further in their lineup of lawn tools.

The trimmer was fine and we were able to complete installation. The shipping box was damaged and the small bag with screws was missing. We had screws that we could complete the necessary steps before use. It was not necessary to return the item.

Used twice to edge my yard, stopped working and will not re-start. I have several Ego yard tools and this is the first failure I've experienced.Update: contacted service rep, they will not honor warranty because purchased from an Amazon non-authorized vendor.

The trimmer worked well. I had some issues with getting the string to come out. After using pliers to get the string out and using the trimmer for a couple of hours, the string started coming out a tapping the head on the ground.

I’ve had this for around a month. It works great and has plenty of power for my .27 acre. The only down side is the line is thin. I chip a lot of it off each time.

The media could not be loaded. Exceeded my expectations. Some assembly required, but not too bad. Amazing power, seems durable, weight of battery is slightly cumbersome but considering that my 75 year old mother was able to use unit on a steep hillside, I'd say it's light enough. A sholder strap would be nice, I made my own from a piece of webbing. Similar power to any 2 stroke gasoline Wacker, with much reduced noise and fumes. Believe me, with a 5 A-Hr battery, the device will FAR OUTLAST your ability to operate it. A win, win, win.

This EGO Power 15 inch is stellar. One accu charge lasts for 38 minutes up to over 50 minutes, on medium to full blast. It cuts THROUGH 5 feet high dense weeds areas, all kinds of brushes, most thickets, and vines. Except 20 feet long vines which I simply cut off with a pruner. Other trimmers' accu charge last on my Florida backyard jungle up to 20 minutes MAXIMUM. I used the EGO ten times so far and ZERO complaints at all. The charger has an audible cooling unit built inside so I can recharge the accu without having to wait to let it cool off. FANTASTIC! The trimmer itself is long and heavy and YES it has a kind of armrest to put my right arm on which tremendously eases the heavy duty work I have to do. Prior the first cut, I bought myself security protective glasses, a baseball cap, some long leg fabric pants and shirts and security heavy duty outdoor sandals. This outfit helps IMMENSE to stay safe. This EGO trimmer on full blast has a top force to make small stones and wood chunks fly over 20 meters against walls, like straight shooting bullets. I had to learn to position the trimmer in the right angle on the ground areas to get the most efficiency out of it. If one needs to trim a lawn, a mower might be a better fit. If one needs a tool to get the real heavy stuff done, this it!
