I bought one last summer, love it. As you said when ever you need it, it's ready to go, and the 5 year warranty isn't bad either.
Thank you for the review bought one and love it. Always hated the bump an go style bought a pass through push button feed head liked it better but still a pain. Recently had rotator cuff surgery and definitely respect not having to pull start or change fuel lines every season on my Stihl and Homelite
Great video! I have a 3 year old ego string trimmer with a carbon fiber shaft and power load. Runs like a dream but I love all these new features.
YES, Yes, Yes, This Really IS the BEST!!!
While researching EGO I came across this channel. My man is naturally funny and entertaining. I will check out more of your videos.
I bought mine last week. Really happy with it.
Exactly, I got the EGO self propelled mower and the string trimmer and discovered one benefit I didn't plan for .. I can work on the lawn early in the day as soon as lawn is dry and neighbors don't even hear me, .. they have told me they don't hear a thing, these machines are very stealthy, ...
100% 👊👊👊
@ tool review zone, you are so confused you have on a Milwaukee hat and wearing a Dewalt jacket 😂
I love your sense of humor. I just placed an order for this trimmer. Thanks!
Thanks, I hate the old way of loading string! Can't wait to get mine. Thanks again for the video!
I just saw this EGO commercial on TV 10 minutes ago! Very impressive tool. But I'm not in the EGO battery family. And I don't string trim because I live in a rental. But I'm diggin my Makita 36v mower. No runs to the gas station to fill the gas can. No stinky gas and 2 cycle oil exhaust fumes. Almost no noise either. Battery powered is real naaaaaas laaaaak as far as I am concerned. No rain here in Kansas USA Clint!
Haven't tried the Makita Kraz. That said, I'm definitely over the lingering stairs of the gas gauges and the dreaded first spring starts . Also, ON MY WAY BROTHER!!!!
I have one and it is crazy good!
Great to know !!! I love my ego push mower 56v !!!!
I have the older version that I have to bump. But it has the power load and it is awsome, love this trimmer you don’t get all the bs that you get with gas. It’s the best battery operated trimmer.
I just bought the EGO ST1511T (the basic model). Came with the 56V 2.5 AH battery/charger. Has 2 speed and press to wind features. I'm done with gas trimmers. I charge with my solar setup.
I have several EGO products and they are great! Their batteries are beasts with really long life. I have the string trimmer, handheld blower, chainsaw and misting fan and can't say enough good things about them. As soon as they have the new minibike available I'll be buying that for my oldest grandson.
I went to a big box store and asked for the trimmer that uses a Bat Ray. They laughed me out of the store! My son was able to find this one and we love it.
After watching you're very enjoyable video review, I went & bought this at Lowe's. If I needed this trimmer for grass, only, it would be fantastic!! But my biggest need for a more powerful weed eater than my battery powered Black & Decker, is to clean an uneven (1954) brick walkway behind my house that has grass over-taking it.
This trimmer has power, for sure, but after about 4 feet of a 2' wide portion, the string was gone! I put in the 14' string that came in the box, & after only 2-3 feet of a 4' wide portion, that string was gone! My gosh, I guess it just kept auto-feeding the line. Even My battery B&D will do the entire walkway, just not great because of lack of power. I really think the problem came from the continual auto-feed of the line, due to using it on bricks.
Thing is, my former lawn guy could clean 20' or more of the walkway with his gas trimmer!! I don't know what kind he had, might try to contact him & ask. For now, I sprayed the walkway with Roundup. I hate using chemicals, but it'll get the job done.
Since that's my main purpose for having a stronger weed eater, this is going back to Lowe's.
Hint to anyone buying, though -- the shoulder strap was truly a lifesaver in the time that I used the trimmer this morning!! I'm a 67 y.o. female, & this would've been too heavy for me otherwise. I have carpal tunnel in my right wrist, but with the strap, I just switched sides & used my left hand for the power switch. The strap is NOT the EGO name brand, but it was at the end of the aisle from the trimmers, at Lowe's, with the rolls of string. I'll keep the strap, might be able to use it with my smaller battery B&D trimmer.
Hello Clint. I have an earlier version of the Ego trimer and blower kits and they are great. I have 3/4 of an acre and can trim and blower the grass clipping use the same battery but now one of the batteries want hold a full charge. I still keep a gas blower for the fall leaves, but the Ego is and will be my main got to for lawn work. Ego is real nice like.
Appreciate the comment and feedback Joe. Is the battery still under warranty? If so... get it replaced.
I have 4 EGO products now, and videos to match and like you said, best string trimmer ever made!
Just finished seeing your video. You provided very good information. I am looking for a weed eater and after seeing this , I'm going to purchase one. Thanks!
You'll love it brother 👊
thats the best weedeater ive ever seen, clint im really looping forward to your next video👊👊🇺🇲
Appreciate the comment brother
Mate, bloody good review Cheers
I’ve been using mine for about a month and it’s been great.
Appreciate the feedback GT
Very informative and entertaining
I do love the EGO brand. I tried the trimmer and I wish it has a trimmer/edger combo. I know they do sell a separate attachment for the edger, but that's an additional cost and EGO brand is not cheap.
Wow got to get me one of these!!!
Happy I watched your video. I was getting ready to plunk down the cash for a Stihl trimmer. Ego has now entered the conversation. I like all of the convenience add one.
I'll never go back to gas Kevin. If you get it, let me know what you think 👊
I've got an older EGO trimmer but it has that power load and it is fantastic!
It's probably the dame one I have. This one has even more power, and love the features 👊
Made in china who gave you Covid
Exactly what I searched last night
I knew it!!!!
i love you! xoxoxo subbed, liked, and many thanks!
Had to Weedeatt some shoulder high grass/weeds with the ST 1613 .. power a plenty ..starts every time .. and no fumes … I use the Shakespeare braided line seems to feed just fine ..
Love the "Wahahahahahahah" and me too lol. Never thought they or somebody would come up with this design, I meant I knew I needed it because I started cutting the grass or weed once every other week but I always happen to run out of string a lot because of being a rookie to the gardening.
Real nice like 👍
Brand new 26cc Homelite from DTO for $65 is the best string trimmer. Shipping is $15 - Not paying hundreds for EGO or Greenworks because you always need a second 4ah battery which is $229 for greenworks 80v and the EVO 56V is $249.
I have the Milwaukee and it's quite heavy. I used it for thick weed grass and it kept shutting off. Maybe due to overheating, but it was disappointing. I'm going to try this one next.
I switched to Ego from gas (residential use) and love it. No gasoline cans laying around, no mixing of fuel for 2 stroke, nada. Just put in a charged battery and go.
Exactly 👊
Iv the powerload normal n it brill. Also gt hedge trimmer longer one. Wish had iq strimmer as would b handy bud. Gd review 👌
I believe you Clint! That thang is awesome! I have the Milwaukee string trimmer but damn…I like that thang! EGO is on my list for outdoor power tools! I’m lookin to get an EGO lawnmower.
The mowers are great too. I really like Milwaukee's quiklok for what it is, and the Milwaukee mower is awesome, but it's too expensive. Ego is top notch 👌
I never thought researching weed wackers would be entertaining! So thank you! 😊
😎😎👊
Its pretty good, i have dewalt flexvolt range and stihl kombi i will stick to.
I love my EGO string trimmers. Unbelievable torque. Way more effective than any gas powered trimmer I’ve ever used. I have a little over 5 acres of weeds to knock down every spring. I mow about 80% of it with an EGO lawn mower, and string trim the rest. However! I have had terrible luck with the auto string load feature. The first EGO string trimmer I purchased, the auto load failed after about 3 loads. Very disappointing. I returned that one to Home Depot, and bought another one. This time the auto load string feature failed on the second day. Here’s the problem. There’s no way to manually load the string. I tried to contact EGO for help, but it was during the pandemic, and so they were unable to take my call. I read a few online forums, and decided to clean the head real good. That fixed it! But sadly, it failed again within a couple of hours. Nothing I did after that revived it. I even tried replacing the switch that you push to feed the string. So, in desperation, I purchased the cheaper EGO string trimmer without auto load. Two seasons later, I’m still using the non auto load EGO trimmer, and it works great. So in a nutshell, I’m skeptical about EGO trimmers that have these advanced features. I wonder how long this “auto string length” function will work. I will admit that some of this lack of reliability may be my fault. I use my trimmers very aggressively, often taking the weeds all the way down to bare dirt. This churns up a lot of dust, and makes a mess of the string head. I have to disassemble and clean the head about every 3 loads.
Really awesome feedback. I've had a lot of people state that they were nervous about the autoloader when I made the last video years ago, but never has an issue with it. That said, I understand them being nervous about it 👊
Omg you make me laugh😂.. I have this one and I would have to agree with ya.. it’s by far the best I’ve ever used. Keep up the awesome videos. It’s real nice like😂
Appreciate the comment and feedback Scott!!!!
👍👊👊 Hell yea!
Power Tools!!! Power Tools!!! Get It Get It Get It!
I bought that one last year
I love my EGO products
Great video man! You are funny too! Haha thanks
Thanks Jordan 👊👊👊
Yeah it's awesome! Well I don't dont have the fancy new one but the oldwr one is good
Great review! 😂
Would you buy this trimmer separately or just stick with thr multi attachment head? Kind of torn because i need the edger too. The trimmer head on this thing is awesome.
SOOOOO glad I do NOT need one BUT if I did 👍👍👍
Do wish I could run my hemi without…..👍
Hiw do you find it when edging ? Do you need a separate standalone edger or is the line iq capable ?
Brother I always smeesh that like button hello from a Serb crazy tool guy just like youself.
This thing is great, it is heavy duty. I purchased it at Lowe's it was $329
And because I opened up a Lowe's credit card they gave me 30% off... I actually saved $116....
But it is heavy to carry
I still using my 5 years old ego trimmer and blower with 2 x 2.5 battery. It is good for 1/3 acres yard. The power just degraded. I am still researching a newer version or other similar band. I think ego still the best in the market.
Thats niccce liek
i see it does grass well but how about thick weeds? can you put a cutting wheel on it? thx!
You're hilarious Bro! Nice work!
Thanks nyp👊👊👊
Howdy 👋 fellow Ohioan here. Thanks for awesome content and a great sense of humor to match
And thank you for the awesome comment Nicole!!!!
They need to make Bat-ray that work with all makes not just there's because gas-as works on any model. Good video I bought one.
Mine just came today!
Freaking awesomeness. Let me know what ya think TC!!!
@@ToolReviewZone I had the older telescoping 15inch version with powerload. I bought it a little over a year ago.
My Gardner fell in love with it and bought it off me (🤔 opportunity to upgrade!!!).
I'll probably feel bad for him (for all of 2 minutes) this weekend when he sees this new one 😂. It's much lighter while feeling more substantial, and it's bigger! I also got the strap too.
I have most of the ego tools (blower, mower, sweepers, hedger, chain/polesaw, edger, trimmer, various accessories).
I'll play with them for a minute after I buy them, but I'm not the manual labor type (legally blind, and calluses aren't my style) they're for the hired help to use.
Although I do enjoy the EGO 18inch chainsaw, and the EGO pole saw, who knew cutting things could be so much FUN!
PS: I live in a very warm climate (CA) you're welcome here, just bring your yard gloves.
@@kewlztertc5386 🤣🤣🤣👊👊👊
I agree that ego is leading the charge (see what I did there?) in cordless OPE. They are head and shoulders above the rest and I don’t even have any. Sadly at the time the only thing I could afford and also easily access was the Ryobi 40v line. Don’t get me wrong the 40v stuff is good and always accomplishes my tasks but I also always feel like when I’m using it there’s nothing left to give. For instance whatever I’m using wether it be the weed eater or blower, it’s already at max output and if some of the variables changed a little then it couldn’t keep up. It’s a very difficult to describe and intangible feeling. I’ve used some of my friends ego stuff and never felt like I was approaching the limits of what it could do. The only issue I have with this weed eater is it’s not attachment capable and that is definitely something I use.
I have the DeWalt 60 v string trimmer trimmer, it's a real monster
Smeeeshed like button.
Thanks for the SMEEESH Rui!!!
I'm quite enjoying your videos, my good man. Thank you, for creating and sharing these.
Q for you: how does this Ego compare with the Husqvarna line? I was told that brand is the way to go, for quality, for a bat-powered string trimmer, but - this Ego sounds real naace like!
Ego is basically owning the battery powered OPE section. They just came out with all new pro equipment as well. I'll never go back to gas brother
EGO ALL THE WAY! This will be the next purchase since it's a great reason to tool up when you need more bats. I love pulling up to new clients in my diesel and whipping out all electric equipment haha best of both worlds my friends!
I'd guess it can't be run without the guard, and taking off the guard was a performance revelation for me. I run Atlas 80v for most of my OPE needs.
The guard can be removed
My favorite part of this video is when you go whaaaaaattt 😂 that part my friend is real nicelike
Whaaaaaaaa???? 🤣🤣👊
Will this model also take an Echo/Shindaiwa Speed-Feed? I don't deny the IQ features sound nice.
I’m going to Buy One , just wanted to see you good review that you do you did nice job so fucking tired of these 20 V batteries running out fucking lines are shit. Thank you sir.
You will love this thing 👊👊👊
I can't afford to eat, let alone buy this beauty... I can only dream....
Are these available in Australia?
Now ask them to make the motor direction reversible. Some awkward cuts mean you have to cut left handed so a reversible motor would make it reeeeeeally cool.
I bought the ST 1520 with the Powerline 3 years ago. i use the small battery and don't love it. The Powerline is a bitch to load. hard to get the line through thew 2 eyelets and often the powerline doesn't wind up the string tight enough. The result is too short of lines after some cutting. It is a bit heavy if you have alot of trimming to do. i like the idea of the 2 speeds and hope that the new powerline is better than the old one. Maybe using Ego string would work better.
Just got one of these... was trying to decide between it and another gas powered.... but run time. The guy at the store said, " you keep the gas one running the WHOLE time that you're using it. You only keep this on when you are cutting." I bought it, took it home and I use it on the property, just under 2 acres... my house, the shop area (bis as both houses) and my in-laws house with all the drive ways and surrounds. The farthest L've run it down is just kissing the last bar, and I only have the 2.5 bhattrey. Get it, and you'll never get pissed because of a clogged, blocked, piece of crap carb again.
Appreciate the awesome story and feedback Sal 👊👊👊
Did you see IR new compact Impact Driver's, they're real nice like.
💯
Hmmm, I dod not...but now I shall check them out. Thanks for the heads up CCFI!!
Can it be used to get rid of wild grass and small weeds on the farm?
how those it compare a year from now? Dewalt better or any other?
Yo Clint! Yep. If it works it works. I converted to electric string trimming a couple years ago. Not for the sake of "going green" but rather for sensibility. I'm in Florida (yes, cmon down!) and there's NOTHING worse than repeatedly pulling a rope on a small gas engine that won't start while it's 1,000 degrees outside. When my last "throw away" brand gas string trimmer took a dump, I went electric and haven't looked back. Although be it, I chose Ryobi not Ryobi 40v system. Only because of the attachment capability. Which leads me to my question. Does EGO offer any "attachment capable" options?
I agree 100% Dave. Tired of fighting with these damn things every year. I'll never go back. Also, I'm on my way down brother 😎🤣🤣
@Tool Review Zone one condition, you'll have to teach me how to CORRECTLY play the guitar intro for Hot For Teacher by EVH. 😎🎸
@me again Dave you got it brother 😎🤟🤟👊👊👊
Are you kidding I'm not changing string!
The one issue I have that's not real nice like, is the multi-head setup. EGO only makes a specific model that allows for multi-head use. The MHC1502 kit comes with an edger. It doesn't have tele or string feed button or carbon fiber. I bought an EGO blower and chain saw last year. These things are built extremely well. The battery technology is finally here to shit-can those Dino juice burning noise makers. BTW, the video was real nice like. 😊
Appreciate the feedback Charlie 👊👊 Yeah, you probably have the older base model. Many of their tools come with different options, even their mowers. This is the top of the line for their homeowner string trimmers. They also are releasing new professional outdoor tools as well
Maybe your store didn’t have it. I think it’s the mst1603? That is the power lose version. I’ve been researching this weekend. The price is very high though.
Can this replace a Stihl fs55?
This guy is so cool probably the most popular guy in school.
I used to s.oke under the bleachers and played guitar in my room all day. Took me a while to blossom 🤣🤣🤣
I purchased this weed eater
It did fine But when you want to use it as edger and turn it sideways
The auto feed does not work
So I returned it back to Lowe’s
I wanted so much work out
Hmmm, I used it as an edger today and didn't have an issue. Maybe the sting was in weird 🤔
@@ToolReviewZone
Well it had the string straight out of the factory box
Nothing different
Like I’ve said I wish it would have worked out
@@willboyd7794 appreciate the feedback 👊👊
and how we can order
Can you please do a follow-up video with the following demonstration? :
I have an Ego string trimmer that is a couple of years old and I HATE it, and the reason is that my small female hands absolutely cannot remove the head to fix the string or change it or anything. I have tried using tools to pry it apart and everything, and it is impossible for me, my hands are not weak for a woman, but they are small and thus have less leverage. So can you do a video where someone with small hands takes the head apart? I will not buy another trimmer until I find one that I can service, it has been incredibly frustrating to have this tool I cannot fix. I do love the Ego batteries, but this is a dealbreaker for me, I will choose the trimmer that I can get apart.
Fingers crossed you can show this demonstration!
Hmmm, interesting. The had on this is very easy to remove. Push in one tab, pull down a little then push in the other tab and pull out. I know whatbyou meant though.... some are very hard to remove, but, with the features that this has, you wouldn't really need to remove the head. If you really need one though, I can make a short on it?
Really hated the Line-IQ feature. Also because it rotated clockwise, which was very inconvenient. Bought the new 2023 version of the (EGO) multi-head trimmer which I find more faster and more robust.
On the Line-IQ, I felt like I was always waiting for it to unreel more line. That is, I worked faster than the machine allowed.
Sounds too good to be true! I spend more time fussing with line than I do trimming. Wish I could try before buying.
Read the reviews. Real world people like me like the Ego over the gas trimmers. That auto load feature is great. More than easy, very easy.
That’s real nas like
Does it take attachments ????....
I have a different brand with the "no bump" feed, and it fails to feed the line most times. I am always having to open the thing up and manually pull out more line. After several months, is the EGO no bump feed function still working? Thanks.
I jumped into the EGO line full-on because I hated dealing with petrol and oil. So far, I only have one EGO tool, the 2 stage snow blower 2405. It's been great for 2 Maine winters so far, clearing a 250' gravel driveway on a hill. 16' of light snow can be done with 2 X 5ah batteries, but give me the same amount of heavy, wet snow, and it will need 4 of those batteries. FYI
I feel like ego and flex tools are taking over everything. Best tools and products on the market.
They are kicking ace for sure Mike
Hello, I'm shopping for a new grass trimmer but haven't had to buy one in like 5+ years, cause my current Echo (gas) trimmer is still going but was given to me by my uncle who has his own lawn service.
Question is, is electric the way to go over traditional gas ones? I honestly can't decide.
I'll never go back to gas
❤❤❤
I already have 4 battery platforms. I will stick to the ones I already have. For now…😂
Haha, I don't blame you 🤣🤣
so you need a power button just to reel in a couple of feet that you do once in a year. And that is what makes this trimmer the best?
Prove it's the best I could ever use by taking on my 54 acre farm, and thousands of feet of fence line. P.s. you only get 1 day to knock it all out.😂
Dang...Amazon won't ship it to me. How can I order one?
Can you use it with the guard off?
Yep
I guess I'll give one of these a try if my 25 year old 4 cycle Craftsman ever take a dump, the technology should be amazing by then lol
