I really appreciated your video. We have a big dog who likes to dig. We have many spots to take care of. I especially appreciated the detail you put in about how to clean it. You may have thought it was trivial, but it really helped me. We got ours put together this morning and my husband was so intrigued that he came out yo try it out. We worked together for an hour, taking turns running and raking soil, and got more done than either of us could have imagined! Thanks again!
That is awesome! Here is my full EGO playlist. th-cam.com/play/PLxwydrM6xLuXnc39AF0vaAYvLdauVFlBU.html Have fun in the yard while the weather isn't too hot still!
I've been thinking about one of these to break up the hard dirt spots in my lawn where the grass has stopped growing. Based on your demo, it appears it will do the trick! Will probably hit it like a day after a rain so the soil has had a chance to loosen a little. Thanks for posting this thing in action, really helpful.
Got this because of your review. I have used my EGO power head for about 60 minutes. One day with the broom and for 15 seconds with the cultivator. I started cultivating some sandy soil when the cultivator hit a small rock. I bent down and tossed the rock to the side. I tried to start the cultivator again, but it did not start. The battery is fully charged, and I have tried a second battery, too. I can spin the rod in the power head freely, but it will not turn with power, the battery blinks red when I try. I contacted EGO and they say the stone is a natural accident and not covered by warranty. I say something must be wrong with the wand and I want it checked. They continue to say that the rock has damaged it and the warranty does not cover it. I have asked to have this escalated up and have someone call me. They did after several days, but still repeat their written script that the rock has voided the warranty. It’s a garden cultivator, you will hit some small rocks. Common sense tells me there must be something wrong with the power head, but they continue with the script, the rock has voided your warranty. So, the wand lasted for 60 minutes. That is an expensive hour. Making me more frustrated with EGO is trying to connect with a human. I have spent over 90 minutes, (three phone calls) listening to the on-hold music. The first time I connected with them, we were disconnected at 5:00 PM. I tried to call back only to find out they were closed for the day. That was very disturbing. I have bought the cultivator, broom, edger, and string trimmer in hopes of getting my area cleaned up this summer. So far, my experience has been very dissatisfying with EGO and I cannot recommend them.
Sorry to hear that you are having so much trouble there. Curious as to what has gone wrong on yours. I have had no trouble with mine, which I know doesn't help you out there. I know that getting ahold of EGO has gotten harder over the last few years. I have lost my contacts down there as well. I still think they make some of the best cordless outdoor equipment, but there is room for improvement when it come to supporting customers. When you say sandy soil and small rock, curious specifically what do you mean? What part of the country and how big is said small rock?
With the battery blinking I'm curious if the issue is actually with the power head or possibly just a old or defective battery. Are you using an EGO battery or an offbrand one? Do the other tools still function just not will the tiller head? If the issue was with the power head i dont think the battery would be blinking red.
I like my EGO mower too. Could I suggest that as regards the blower that to be a good neighbour you don't use it, but employ a simple rake or yard brush, and dispose of the stuff in a responsible manner. IMHO a blower is exactly like sweeping the dust under the rug.
Glad to hear. These are really great products and I am lucky to be able to test out so many to share with you all. Thanks for watching and don't forget to stop by our website for many more helpful videos. www.greatwhiteninja.com
I have the Ego battery powered mower and I want to buy the weed eater soon. That will be my next product from Ego products. I can't wait. Right now I have a craftsman battery powered weed eater and its good but it just doesn't last long. the batteries are small and I can't go on the low setting because its just not that good on low setting. So I keep it on the high setting. That ego lawn mower does wonders though. New subscriber here.
Thanks for watching and subscribing. If you are wanting a string trimmer, here is my latest video on their latest model. th-cam.com/video/zau6ClOk8s0/w-d-xo.html
@@AroundTheHome1 Thanks I will check them out. I have the craftsman battery powered one right now and it does its job but in the future I would like to buy another Ego product.
i got a Ego weed eater from lowes last week , the $ 178.00 one with 2.5 amp battery and its awesome. it has the variable speed trigger and i never have to run it over 50% throttle. it cuts grass like a beast. at 100% throttle if you hit a rock or something and it comes at you then you are in trouble! 100% on this thing is way to much. takes 45 min to fully charge and last me a solid 30 min of non stop weed eating on 50% throttle. and by that time i am give out and need a break i am in love with my Ego trimmer. best money i ever spent. just wish i had gotten it sooner. i researched trimmers for a year before i finally got this one thinking that there is no way a battery powered trimmer could be as good as a gas model but i was very very wrong. trust me you will love it.
That is one of the few tools that I haven't had a chance to use. 👍 So glad to help! Thank you for watching. Check out hundreds more of our videos at www.aroundthehome.org
On truly hard-surfaced soil, the cultivator head just bounces up and down without digging in to the soil at all ... the blades are too broad. I had to buy additional tools to break up the surface before the cultivator was able to do anything useful. Once the surface is chewed up, the cultivator blades manage to catch and it can do its thing.
I really wanted to invest in EGO's multi head system but I can't find the brush cutter attachment on EGO's US website - only on the UK. Do you know why it isn't available here? Would you know if you can get a brush cutter blade that is interchangeable with the string trimmer head?
@@AroundTheHome1 Here is the link for the brush cutter egopowerplus.ie/products/multi-tool/BCA1200-multi-tool-brush-cutter and here is a you tube video review (he reviews the brush cutter at 2:55) th-cam.com/video/du6uEjroaBs/w-d-xo.html

When you say upper attachment then I am assuming that it is the Multi-Head. Does it completely separate and have a working motor without the edger base? If your answer is yes, then it should work. Glad to help. Thanks for watching and please share.
It is designed for the EGO Multi-Head system. As for the clay soil, that's pushing it for any cultivator. This is hard rocky soil that I was in and it worked, but that is it's limit. For soil even harder and packed you are going to need a roto-tiller. Thanks for watching and don't forget to stop by our website for many more helpful videos. www.greatwhiteninja.com
I was able to cultivate this area with the 5.0 battery. Not a problem. Thank you for watching. Check out hundreds more of our videos at www.aroundthehome.org
I'll be darned. Thought it would bounce around due to lack of weight over the blades. Their attachments for that system are ridiculously pricey, though. Wish I could bundle that with the pole saw and edger!
You know I have not tried that. I will have to this spring. That is awesome! Thank you for watching. Check out hundreds more of our videos at www.aroundthehome.org
Glad to see this demonstrated but have to say, the plug-in cultivators kick this things ass for this particular task but I do love ego battery products.
You were right to point out that the EGO cultivator will not do the work of a Root-Tiller. Your demo on what is lightly compacted topsoil is hardly impressive, but is probably a fair assessment of what in IMO is the weak sister of the EGO family.
Yes, many people think that because a cultivator has tines, that it is just a small rototiller. You have to already have soft soil. Now, this is heavy topsoil here so I was actually impressed. But it was of course not the hard compacted, rocky soil outside the bed. That would have just broken it. Thanks for watching.
You are right. This Amazon link right now is not that good. There was a better buy option when I put the link up. There are not a lot of good EGO Amazon links out there. I do have some of the other Multi-Head attachments that are really good links that are sold from EGO through Amazon. I am going to delete this link for now until they get a better one.

I live in SWMO. I know what clay is. We dig holes with pick axes out here and only use shovels to clean them out. Like I said, I explained that in the video.
@@99cornisland I live in PA, and our soil is heavily clay in my area (near Harrisburg). After using a mattock to try to till a new wildflower bed by hand, I quit after about 1/4 of the way through and bought the EGO cultivator (I already had the power head). No, it isn't easy, but it was waaaaaay easier than doing it by hand. The bed is at least 15'x15' (I didn't measure it). The soil was softened by a recent steady rain, which no doubt made it easier. Doubt this would be very effective on hard clay in the middle of summer during a drought, but it works in the right conditions. Since we won't plant the bed until spring, I'll take the cultivator out every so often to keep the bed tilled so no grass takes hold, but man this thing saved me a ton of sweat equity. Had no problem doing the entire bed on a 5.0AH battery with the head on the 2 (i.e. high) setting.
i was so focused on your video i got scared when music start ...good video
