I recently purchased the same trimmer and it’s the best trimmer that I’ve ever purchased, gas or electric. It does a great job.
I’m a 115 lb female. I bought one and am learning to use it. I love how quiet and light it is. Thanks for the great review!
Awesome, appreciate the feedback Teressa!!!!!
No more gas powered lawn equipment. I originally purchased the 56V leaf blower and love it. I just purchased this line trimmer and am expecting delivery today. The battery’s are interchangeable. Great design with power to spare. Thanks for the review.
Didn’t expect to subscribe or laugh my ass off when I googled a review of my new trimmer. You’re hilarious, man.
I use two 56v 16inch ego trimmers everyday for my residential lawn business. No complaints 👌
Came here to learn how to reload string for my new weed eater. Leaving with all the same sentiments you have for this machine. Thanks for making my day!
Had this for years (and the hedge trimmer and blower) and have to say they are the best lawn care products I've ever owned. No regrets
I’ve got one, love it, had it for two years, bought another battery. That makes a lot of difference if you are doing a lot of trimming. One thing I will tell you. Certain things aren’t covered under the 3 or 5 year warranty, I just paid 47.00 for a new head. It was warranted for 90 days. But it was still worth it. They said it was considered a wearable part.
Glad to see you letting everyone know about the EGO products. I have this and some other EGO products and love everything about them, just my opinion
Tha ks for the awesome comment bro!!!!
🍻🍺🍕
EGO are excellent products. I have their push mower and a pole saw of theirs. Both the mower and the pole saw in my opinion dominate every other electric brand in those two fields. I have mowed some THICK WET GRASS with that self propelled model push mower and the motor revs up and never seems to box down unless you are purposely trying to make it bog down. Battery life is also excellent. The pole saw is incredibly strong. Cuts like my Farm boss gas stihl
Thank you 🤩! Love it! I hate changing the string also‼️
I have always failed at reloading trimmers. This looks like what I need. The extra battery for my Ego blower is a plus
I just bought this the other day at Lowe’s it’s a beast!!!! it will most certainly take care of the business!!!!!! I charged the battery that my unit came with and used One of my ego 56 V snowblower batteries until the trimmer battery was fully charged,,, The snowblower battery fits it’s 56 V and extremely heavy you won’t want to swing that around all day it will wear you out however I managed to cut a lot of weeds with it while I was charging the other one this has a little quirkiness to it if you learn how to do everything and get used to it it’s cool,,,I would highly recommend it👍
I've got the Ego blower, hedge trimmer, and chain saw, this is next on my list, great review!
Hows the battery life?
I have to say something important (really). I think it is great that this demo hit the nail right on the head when it was mentioned how great that wind up string is with that wonderful button:) :).
I have another weed wacker (Greenworks 80 Volt Battery) that just about drove me insane trying to restring it. Every 10 minutes or so I had to go back in the garage and do the nightmare again, again n again etc :(
Wow did you really show what I was thinking:) :) ha, ha:) :) :) !
Me too ! Exactly !
I am definitely getting this. I wasn't going to get the carbon one but you made it seem like it's worth the extra 50 bucks. Thanks
Probably one of the single best reviews i have seen for this game changer. Great job!
Thanks MI!!!!
I just got mine today and freaking love it.
I got pretty aggravated with my 4stroke craftsman trimmer one day. I ended up wrapping it around a tree. The blower wasnt any better. So both to a trip to the scrap dumpster. I bought the carbon shaft EGO trimmer and the blower. Expensive yes,but I would trade em for anything. The ease of use and the power, what a joy.
Might have a bit of an anger problem friendo
@@pryme2013 String trimmers will do that to the best of us. Mine got smashed into the sidewalk.
I have to say your video was awesome. I’m also a TH-camr and just loved how you added in the fish 🐟 and funny stuff. Actually was laughing watching the video. Great job and I will definitely buy one of these. I already have the blower and it works amazingly. 🤙🏻
Thanks Easy!
Just bought this a week ago. Agree needs a low speed setting. Variable speed trigger has 2 modes. Destroy weeds and Quinton Terintino weeds
Maybe Quinton will use one in his next movie “GET WHACKED”
I just got this model with the 56 volt battery, and it is so much better than my older 2 stroke trimmer. Quiet, and powerful... oh, and the lightness with the carbon fiber shaft is fantastic. A great product.
Eh for me it’s a sin to use anything electric or battery powered, gas powered all day baby🔥🔥
@@mkfan6167 so, no Internet, smartphone, tv, lights, stereo systems…?? Sure, why not simplify life while enjoying the smell of gasoline in the morning… 😎 Anyway, just kidding with you. I love my combustion engine truck!!
@@pdxflintLmao I be getting High from that smell of gas lol
@@pdxflint Hi Philip, are you still happy with this string trimer? I am considering purchasing it for my Dad.
@@HumblePeon2 yes, still happy with it. Works great. I’m thinking of getting a leaf blower so I can have a second battery. So far so good.
Home Depot doesn't sell the brand anymore for some reason. I believe they used to be an exclusive seller of Ego. Anyway Ego does have other versions with the hi/low speed button.
Going to ditch my Black & Decker what model number do you have on the video very interested in it but there are several to choose from and I want to get one like the one in the video please let me know thank you
Like your channel, your Ego string weed eater still works great? Thank you
Just bought a house never had to cut grass ever till now does this do the clean edge as well?
Really enjoyed the video I got the exact ego weed trimmer with the carbon fiber. I really do like it already what you mention about the left-handed people using it, I am left-handed and there’s absolutely no problem using the weedeater the finger next to my thumb hits that safety button in a way I go. Just thought I’d let you know so I as for is a left-handed person can use this weedeater also. Thanks for doing a great review.
Awesome, thanks forcthe great feedback Steve!!!!
Im looking at one in a pawn shop. One of the employees gave me a demo and Im about sold on it!
Nice review but you did not mention Edging or line extending and hitting the guard. ?
Great video. Love the auto load line wind feature.( I also hate that line winding, flippity, floppity, juggling chore).
I have the blower and diggin' that, so now It's time to toss the 2-cyc fume wielding, pain in the arse trimmer, and the cordlesd baby toy replacement I bought which requires hand pulling the string every 30 seconds!! Ugh!! Ego Rocks!
Thank you so much great video wish this was around when I had my landscaping maintenance business I hate hate hate changing sting I had the mower before selling my home my new home will be equipped with the whole line of EGO products
My string trimmer died and is no longer useful. Will definitely be needing a new one come spring. Sure would like to give a battery powered stinger a chance. Thanks for all you till reviews that you have.
Which is better this or the multi head with string trimmer attachment
Just put it together character the batter looked up reviews yours looked interesting so I watched it. Haven’t used it but based on your review I think I picked a winner!
I’m considering buying one but am wondering how much do you have to put it together when it comes out of the box? I have no handy person to help me. Thanks
I bought one a week ago, not the carbon fiber but the aluminum, it has a high and low option, 2.5 A, 56 V battery, and the battery only lasts 15 minutes. Is that normal or should I take it back?? Love the power. I’m clearing my 2 acres that I just got that hasn’t been cut in over a year. But the battery takes longer to charge than it lasts.
Great review, which do you like better or think is better performing and constructed the EGO or Milwaukee? Thanks
I want to get this but I am left handed and I'm not sure the safety on the left side will work for me. I tihnk it would have been fine if it was on top/bottom like most trimmers.
Just got mine today....love it. Your explanation of the line load was very helpful. Keith Kindle
Glad it helped Keith!!!!!
Do the commercial models have the power loading function?
Great! I got one on order! Little different. Not the carbon fiber, but DOES have 2 speeds plus telescoping shaft. I plan to use a 7.5 aH battery with it. Hope that’s not too heavy. Thanks for your upbeat review!!!
Just purchased... Great video... Thank you!
Ya, great video and one amazing trimmer, I also have their snow blower and lawn mower, love them all. Q: Can the bottom pf the trimmer be hosed of with water to clean? Thanx
I'm sold! Thanks for the video!
I just got one myself with the push button load your string one. The blower is next on my list.
Blower is a beast!
@@ToolReviewZone Yeah it looks like it is,the other different brand name blowers I'm not that crazy over so much.
The only other brand that comes close in power is the 60v dewalt, but this still wins in my opinion
I have had this trimmer for two weeks. I maintain a 2 acre yard and a 4 acre yard. It's a heavy tool, buy the shoulder strap! It's not a light tool.
When compared to a gas trimmer, it's crazy quiet.
It does not clog up. I used it around my pond, 3 foot tall grass and cat tails. I did not have to stop and unwind dead grass.
It's stupid powerful... Cat tails like butter.. The 0.95 string does not easily break apart. I've had to recharge the battery twice and I'm still on the string that the unit came with. Buy the shoulder strap.... This video doesn't do the power of this thing any justice. This will clear a field with no problem.
Thanks for the feedback 👊
Hi Clint...So I’m debating on which string trimmer to get...The Ego or the Milwaukee...I’ve seen both your videos on them so which one do you recommend? Thanks enjoy your evening...
Hey Juan... if you are looking for different attachments then definitely the Milwaukee, but I actually grab the EGO just because of how light it is.
@@ToolReviewZone EGO it is...I’m going tomorrow morning to get it...Thanks Clint...Appreciate the time
Let me know how you like it Juan!
I decided to go with EGO over Kobalt due to your reviews and bought the complete lawn set. Can't wait to use them; I'm wondering what attachments I might need now though.
Ego is beast
Wow this looks like a great trimmer but I was wondering is it possible to get it without the battery and charger as I already have an ego lawn mower so I could use the battery and charger off of that and maybe save some money
I already had the blower, which I love. So, when my trusty 20+year old Weedeater finally wouldn't start this past weekend after sitting all Winter I knew what I had to do: Go get an EGO that I knew would be able to share the same battery and charger. The one I bought (at Lowe's) was $199.99, though there was another 15" trimmer at $249.99. But this one suited me just fine. It does have a high and low setting, but the trigger is a little different than yours. I'll probably buy another EGO product in the future, because they are built well, and perform well, and the batteries are interchangable.
Ego does have some excellent - top of line products - at a value price. I've got the EGO blower and trimmer, and this would make a great addition. Don't forget there are 1/2 dozen other attachments to this base tool. Thanks for this excellent information.
How long does the battery typically last? I must have missed that part.
Great video
Can it do lawn edges?
Will the snow shovel and brush system fit on this shaft?
I bought one, its powerful enough to peel the paint off a barn! But the battery only lasts about 20 minutes. I took it back and the store swapped batteries for me, still I am only getting about 20 minutes life out of this second battery. Luckily they only take about 45min to charge. But I am disappointed, my black and decked 20v lasted almost twice as long. I would have bought another black and decker one if I could find the 2speed one again, I have been to several stores and they are not to be found.
What is the difference between EGO Power+ ST1511T vs ST1520S vs ST1521S?
I really wanted the toro 60v but I think I just changed my mind.Great review.
You will really like this David. Thanks for the comment!!!
It’s the only one with variable speed?
The safety button is on the left side because the head spins CLOCKWISE so you want to operate it with your right hand so debris is directed away from you to the right. use it left handed and your left leg/foot is going to be showered with clippings, dirt and anything else you might catch with the line.
Let people know to only use the orange twisted ego line. I bought a similar but cheaper line from Amazon and my feed wouldn't load it. Switched back to ego and it sucked it right in!!!
Love mine but no matter where I adjust the D handle I find myself bending over and getting a sore back and right elbow holding it up
Just ordered one. Unhappy I couldnt find it at Home Depot as I usually save alot more by going there. Bit thebbullet paid 230 I hope it works good and dont crap out and isnt hard to use.
How do you adjust it for height? Can you use it for edging? You promised everything. You did not deliver.
I heard that EGO is coming out with a 10.0ah battery. How long do you think you could weed wack with that on it. Also how long did that 2.5ah battery last you?
The 2.5 last around 40 minutes in the heavier stuff, but I wouldn't be surprised that they are releasing the 10.0 as they will also be releasing their ne zero turn mower next year. I'm sure that what they will probably use
🍻🍺🍰
What gauge trim wire do you use and I see you pulled off the top but how?
Omg omg no way you push the button and it uses the battery to wind the line omg that is Gangta Bro that is sick 😳 😫 why stihl why did you not make this line feature @ToolReviewZone
Hahaha, its awesome right Antonio!
@@ToolReviewZone yeah so very Awesomeeee
I bought it! I owned a lDC corded trimmer for 30+ years, and still have it. That thing just won't die! Anyway, I went ahead and bought the EGO, and wow, what a difference! I wanted to kick myself for waiting this long! But like I said, my IDC wouldn't die. So now that old boy will be going in my next garage sale. lol
We just bought one today how does everybody else like there's I'm glad this money well spent bc for some reason we don't have no luck with a gas weedeater so got one today gonna try it out soon
Dude it’s awesome, just bought one today and I’m super impressed
@@stephenstack3292 yeah they great I been using mine for 2 days I had cut down some 6 foot tall grass around my house
@@baileycook978 Right, the only thing is I’m gonna have to get a 2nd battery cause it goes through it pretty quick
@@stephenstack3292 yeah I noticed that too mine last up to 4 hours then I have to recharge it then start again but at least you don't have to buy gas and oil no more
Wow this is better than a gas trimmer, perfect for loaning out to people without them breaking it or messing something up like a gas trimmer
Great presentation. Can you use the battery for their lawn mowers? I'll buy one soon.
Sure can👊
Can you change the angle 90 degrees for edging?
Can you slow it down to near zero rpm? Or does it slow down to a certain point and then stop?
You can go very slow with it 👊
so just to clarify, all the batteries (5ah, 7.5ah, etc...) are interchangeable with all ego products?
Yep
Lol, you literally made me lol. Love this brother.
Awesomeness 👊
Can I put an IDECH Rotary Scissor head on this?
How does it do edging sidewalks or do you need the attachment edger for an extra $100
Is the motor where the battery is or does it sit right on top of the cutting head?
Love your review ,BUT i'm a bit confused !! since i was about to purchase the milwaukee trimmer now that i'v seen the Ego review i have some second thoughts....help me out on this , which one would you choose ? which one has a bigger power ?
Depends on what your looking to do Elad. The Ego is smoother and lighter with a ton of power, but the Milwaukee will except different attachments and is and is great for multiple jobs with just one battery. That said, where Milwaukee is falling short is no Mower and a weaker blower. So what I would say is, if you are looking to get into a new platform that offers probably the best OPE out their and a mower, Ego is the way to go, but if you are just looking for an edger, pole saw and a few other attachments, Milwaukee is the way to go.
Buy a Makita multitool 36v engine and trimmer, and edger.
@@landcruiser801 I'm looking for the strongest trimmer , do you think the makita is more powerful than ego and milwaukee
@@ToolReviewZoneAs i know Ego has also a multi attachment model so maybe i should go to this direction , the question is if it has the same motor as the one you have tested, honestly I really like the Ego stuff in terms of design and power , i'm on the milwaukww platform for many years and all my workers are using milwaukee BUT since i'v watched you reviewing the ego blower a week ago i was directing myself to have an exuse to go into the ego platform ...
@@ToolReviewZone l
can you use a brush blade on this cute looking toy?
Those mushrooms that you find on the lawn I'm not the same ones you buy in the store LOL that has to be the greatest feature out of all the weed wackers is that a wind itself and the price really isn't too bad compared to all the other brands👊👊
Haha, so now you tell me. I was wondering why I was seeing all those color.
Great review man!
What is your opinion of this compared to the Milwaukee? I picked up the M18 Quik Lok yesterday and my initial impression in practical use was that it was a bit heavy compared to the Echo SRM-225 it replaced and the response of the throttle took some getting accustomed to. I found it easier to just put it in low speed and keep it at full throttle. The biggest annoyance so far is how thick the combined throttle safety and trigger are - I admit my hands are on the small side. The Ego throttle and safety look like they would be more comfortable. I picked the Milwaukee over the Ego partly because the Milwaukee felt better balanced, albeit I didn't get to fully experience the Ego balance because Home Depot didn't have battery packs mounted on the Ego models (stupid). Without a battery and the motor of the Ego mounted at the end of the trimmer its impossible to assume how well it would feel in hand.
Your right, the quik-lok is a bit heavsobI always use this, however... i love the other attachments like the edger on the quik-lok
How does this compare to the dewalt 60v?
Great review I know you have down reviews on the 20v dewalt weedeater. Have you done review on the 60v dewalt weedeater? If you have how does it compare to this one? I have had the 20v and the 60v dewalt but I have never tried this one. Thanks and have great day
Yeah I did the 60v. Its awesome too, but the re-string is a pain. Thay said, it's a great trimmer 👊
@@ToolReviewZone Which one is better the Dewalt 60V or the Ego model? Leaving the restringing out of the equation. Just pure strength
Can you switch the head over for vertical edging?
Good review! FYI, your Home Depot link no longer working.
Thanks Studio!!!
Hahahahhahahahaha that part in the 4:40 make to suscribe 🤣
I own this weed eater and one thing I will add is that I have never had to stop and clean my head while working.
Heads up! I have this trimmer. The circuit board failed while still under warranty. They have to get the board from off shore. NOT GOOD!
I can't get the cap off to pull out the remaining line that's in there. The line won't go thru. You make it look so easy, but it's not.
on the gas echo trimmer if you hold the bottom part of the head and twist the top it works the same as the ego just no you twist and the string goes in
Duration time?
Great video, am very untested on buy the trimmer and lawnmower
What would I be missing by getting this over their pro or higher end models?
Can you use this as a multi loader? as in Edger and stuff?
Great review. Thank you for posting.
I find the rotation an issue, also it aggravates my O.U.S. but not taking away from your clip it does what you say it does
I own the exact one. I love it
I like everything about that model other then I agree wish it had the speed options like the 🐢 and the 🐇
We'll have you tried barely pulling the trigger at all
It does. Variable speed trigger is not a dial setting. It is a pressure thing so much more than low and high
What is the use case for the hinge on this?
I misplace my 56 EGo Battery Charger. I need to replace it . Where do I get the Battery charger
Lowes sells them and Acme Tools
Great review! I'm like Lee... I have the blower AND the mower (i DID have to take the mower in for repair as it just would not START even after just 5 months of use! They ended up sending me a brand new mower without the battery, though!) and was thinking of getting the string trimmer in either the carbon shaft OR the cheaper model! I was trying to see just how the split shaft works when given seeing the edger and other attachments that MIGHT or MIGHT NOT work with the upper half! Keep up the great reviews! (And you are right about it being QUIET! I think that I heard some birds tweeting off in the distance while you were "slicing and dicing!" HONEST!!)
has anyone used the edger blade attachment. is it easy to swap string trimmer and edger blade attachments?
EGO Products ROCK!!!!!!!!
Thanks brother thanks to you i know how to use my new EGO streamer thumbs up ...👍👍👍👍
