EGO Power+ 15" Cordless Weed Trimmer with Battery and Charger - ST1511T

Very powerful but on the heavy side. The variable trigger is great.

Yes that sounds dramatic, but it's not an overstatement. This trimmer was such a massive upgrade for me and it has substantially improved my lawn maintenance routine. My previous trimmer was a cheap corded big box store brand and was long past its useful life when I decided to upgrade. I chose the EGO cordless based the outstanding reviews and now I know why it has such high ratings. This was an investment purchase for me (paid off in installments), so I did a ton of research before taking the leap. There was a lot of consensus among YouTubers and bloggers that this was a great product, but I was still a little reticent to drop this amount of cash on an optional piece of lawn equipment. But this baby has proved itself worthy of the price and the reviews! It was very easy to assemble, although I did have to watch a video to see if I was installing the handle correctly. Speaking of the handle, it's very sturdy but also very comfortable and my hand doesn't get tired of holding it. My favorite feature of this trimmer is the automatic string loader. It took me a little fiddling to figure out how to feed my line into the loading holes, but once I did, the magic began! The feeder is a little noisy and you have to keep an eye on it, because it will swallow up the whole string if you don't stop it in time. Don't worry if this happens to you though because it's easy to open up the string chamber and start over. The battery life on this baby is excellent! I've never run out of battery while trimming my lawn. I've used it for an extensive cleanup in my back yard to take down a large amount of brush, and it still didn't get close to running out of charge. The battery docking station was easy to mount to the wall, and the battery is fairly easy to get on and off the trimmer (although it takes a little push to get it on). I saw some reviewers say that the weight of this machine made their arms tired (primarily because of the big battery), but I find the weight to be an advantage. It makes the trimmer feel more sturdy and allows me to make smoother lines when I'm edging. This trimmer has made me a master at edging by the way. I get compliments on my lawn from fully grown dudes all the time (I'm a lil gal), and I can see their envy when I whip this bad boy out. My yard has the cleanest lines in the neighborhood, and I'm very proud of my progress at making crisp edges along my driveway and sidewalk. Overall, I cannot recommend this trimmer highly enough. My only regret is that I didn't buy it sooner!

Ditch the gas units. This puppy is the bomb! Super easy to load new twine and battery lasts about forty minutes. This purchase was long overdue. Highly recommended for sure.

Great product, so happy I got it. It's well-balanced and easy to control, it turns at a high RPM, which helps give it a nice, clean cut and not too heavy.

If you have ever spent 20 minutes sweating, swearing, and tangled in trimmer line trying to reload a traditional weed eater, you need to buy this right now. The EGO Power+ 15" String Trimmer is a absolute powerhouse, but the real crown jewel here is the POWERLOAD technology. Reloading it is ridiculously easy: you literally just feed the string through the head, pull it so you have an equal amount of line on both sides, and hit the Powerload button. That’s it. It automatically winds the string perfectly for you in seconds. It is infinitely better than doing it yourself. Aside from the genius string loading, here is why this trimmer is fabulous: Massive Power: Do not let the battery fool you—this thing has incredible cutting ability and handles thick weeds and stubborn grass without bogging down at all. Ergonomic & Easy to Use: It’s well-balanced, comfortable to hold, and starts instantly with a trigger pull. No gas, no oil, no pull-cords. Fantastic Price Point: For the sheer amount of power, cutting efficiency, and time-saving tech you get, the price point is incredibly fair.
