EGO Power+Combo, Cordless Trimmer and Blower, 15" Trimmer for Weeds and Grass with Rapid Reload and Cordless Electric 530 CFM Blower, Includes 56V 2.5Ah Battery and Charger - ST1502LB

I'm a firm believer that if you can decide on a specific brand of battery operated equipment, try hard to buy just that brand so you may interchange batteries and chargers where permitted by manufacturer. With this said, I stick with 2 brands that I've had excellent luck with and cover different areas of use mostly, just a little overlap. The 2 brands (I have no deal with these brands, just like them because of my experience with them) I believe in are DeWalt and Ego. In this case my latest purchase was this weedtrimmer. It has great features and I am very impressed with the power it has and how long it operates on a charge. My favorite feature is filling up the spool with trimmer line. Ego has made this process one of if not the easiest to do in the industry! It holds a lot of line and being battery operated, is nice and quiet. I live right along side a field and every once and a while I need to cut it back some to not interfere with my cutting of the grass in my own yard. When doing this, every once in awhile you run across a small whip of a start of a tree. Obviously the line isn't going to cut through this but it also doesn't stop the Ego. It just hammers away til I backoff and cut around these saps. This Ego unit is on the line between homeowner and commercial quality. It's highend homeowner and takes the same battery and charger that I already have for other Ego products like the Leaf Blower for example. Even if I would get a Ego 2 Stage Snow Blower some day, they all take the same battery and charger. So if you have a large project going on, and a battery runs out... you have more charged batteries to grab and go on with. In my opinion, one of the greatest features of sticking with a brand. In my own opinion I believe you get excellent value for your money buying these 2 brands. Oh, and as far as durability, my leaf blower was the first Ego purchase I made years ago and I'm still using it and the battery and charger that came with it!

These are awesome! I was a sceptic about electric. I own allot of gas equipment.We have over four acres of land that needs clearing every year by our fire dept. In our town in Ca the fire dept puts a $10,000 lean on your place if they dont like the way you fid weed abatement!I bought two Ego power 15” string trimmers with carbon handles and 2 Ego power 5 amp hr battery's. They worked awesome. Im impressed. They are tuff!To spool new cutting line is so easy and high tech. Manual is not good at all. Just cut a 14’ length of cutting line. Stick it in one hole on trimming head where line comes out, feed it in until it comes out other hole. Then pull both ends of cutting line so they are both 7feet from string trimmer head. Make them equal length 7’ on each side of trimmer spool. Then with battery in trimmer push green button on back of trimmer spool head ( Not power trigger) . And click click click! It auto spools the cutting line. Let go of green button when 7 inches are left. The manual is a joke! Not good at all. But the equipment is awesome. I bought two of these. And a blower, and the ego power head with a brush cutter attachment ANF a pole saw attachment. Then i bought the Ego Power 16”? Chain saw. This is the BEST equipment purchase i have made in years.It cost a arm and leg for 5amp Hr battery's, but after that you’re all good to go. I use the 2.5amp hr battery's while 5am hrs are charging. I love yard work again! And now more $500 repairs, on my gas equipment yearly, and gas, noise, smell of exhaust. These do better and zero maintenance. And light to carry and hold. Just buy these! They are awesome. Dont loose the allen wrench and screws that come with it.

This is a powerful trimmer and it's made very well. When fully charged the battery has enough power to do all the trimming. If not fully charged I have to stop in the middle to recharge it. What is great is it starts easy and does not pollute, no gas/oil mixture. No pulling your arm apart to get it started. Just a flick of the switch and you're on the way. The BEST thing is the installation of the trimmer wire is automatic! Just cut a piece to 13 feet long, thread it though the spool and hit the wind button. I LOVE IT. The only drawback for me is the trimmer is a bit on the heavy side. The handle has to be adjusted in a way that the trimmer is balanced because the battery is fairly heavy. So between the weight and the need to balance its is a tiring for me. On the whole, it makes trimming much more pleasant than using a gas powered trimmer.

They are both great, just wish I would of known that this weedeater spins Clockwise which is completely opposite to what I've used for the last 20 years! It's actually quite a pain in the butt when you walk with it as it sprays all debris right into you and your face....wish EGO would of done better with this, but hey sometimes you have to change directions in life.But the actual power of both the weedeater and blower are AMAZING. I have 3 batteries (7.5,5.0,4.0) and I mow less then an acre of grass. I don't even need to touch the 4.0 battery with mowing, weedeating and blowing everything. Honestly I'm super happy I bought these and already have a List on Amazon with just EGO products and accessories lol.Again just beware this weedeater doesn't spin counterclockwise and apparently there is a certain version that can be reversed......do your research if this is a problem (wish I did lol)Overall the durability of the products and the speed at which I can use them is so much better then gas. The noise level at which your putting out is super QUIET.....I mow close to dark now with the LED lights too and I guarantee my next door neighbor doesn't even know I'm mowing lol.

This replaced my gas string trimmer and has worked flawlessly. Besides being quiet and strong it is extremely easy to load new line. I was worried about how long a charge would last but I have never needed to switch batteries. My lot is 1/2 an acre with a long drive way and many flower beds. I always have enough juice to move the battery over to my blower to start clean up.
