Ego 15 in. String Trimmer and Edger Combo Kit with 5.0Ah Battery and Charger for EGO Power Head System

Both units perform extremely well. Trimmer has some weight to it, but it makes short work of whatever you put it to as it eats everything right up. Edger tears it up too. Great set of tools to have around. I like it.

Wow battery rocks! A bit heavy for me to use but doable... it is SUPER POWERFUL - when I tried the trimmer for the first time I accidentally cut down a glass lawn ordainment in error... batter life rocks - can do entire front yard on a single charge.

The product itself seems to be decent, it changes relatively easy from tool to tool. It is definitely not light weight because the battery makes it heavy. You can always switch battery to smaller battery if you have one from a different tool such as a leaf blower. However, if you have larger area to cover it will not last as long. I bought this this combo kit and another tool just after something broke of on my lawn mower. I didn't think that it would be a big deal to get part replaced regardless if it is covered under warranty or not. I tell you what, just hope that you don't have something go wrong with any of their products you will be left without customer support. Nobody ever answers phone on the phone listed for the customer service. You get an option to leave a voicemail but in my experience nobody calls you back. I created online account with Ego Power and opened a case for the problem I had with the lawn mower and nobody bothered to contact me either by calling or sending an email. Now, I am stuck with a broken part that I can't get from them or anybody else because they don't have any of these services provided through dealers. 0 stars customer support.

Switched from gas mower, edger, trimmer a year ago to battery. Had kobalt trimmer that just didn’t last. Had the ego trimmer/edger for a month. Heavier than kobalt model but still lighter than gas ones I’ve had. It feels like it is built to be durable. It appears to be worth the prize if it does indeed last. Battery life has lasted well. Used for three weeks before it went to half the charge. Live in Florida so have to use every week for almost ten months before I can go to twice a month. Better than snow shovels though.

The process itself is pretty cumbersome, but the worst part is getting the cap off to install the new line. It’s unnecessarily difficult as the tabs don’t seem to work as intended. I reread the manual to see if I’d been missing something, a step perhaps, but it’s just poorly designed. And right now, I have to reinstall the line twice every time I weed whack. It’s going to cost me a fortune in line. Now, after using the trimmer for the third time, it appears parts are coming disconnected from the base unit. Note the silver line feed opening in the second photo - I had to snap it back into place as it dislodged while I was trying to get the trimmer head off to MANUALLY advance the line SEVEN TIMES while trimming my very small yard today.

This is an excellent cordless/gasless grass trimmer. However, you need to be a brute to run one of these if you have a fair amount of tall grass to trim. The shoulder strap does help to distribute the weight. Still, it's a beast to operate! No need to head to the gym---just run your Ego trimmer in 90 degee heat a while. The edging attachment is as good as it gets. You can easily edge an entire lawn in a minute or two. One of these days a light weight battery will be developed. Until then, the Ego trimmer has [my] vote.

In the past month, I've purchased the following EGO products: 650 blower, trimmer and edger combo kit, hedge trimmer and pole saw attachments. They are POWERFUL and BATTERY LIFE IS AMAZING.

It is powerful and battery has good life. But, battery is very heavy. Bought the separate strap which helps but still heavy and kind of unbalanced. But main problem is line install and feed. Supposed to be easy by winding for install, but is not quick and hard to push in to wind. At this price $500 plus, thought it would have the rewind button on some of the cheaper models. Also, the tap while running to dispense the line does not work. If it was $250 would be okay I guess, but at this price not worth the extra money. Go for the cheaper model.
