EGO MHC1603 Multi-Head Combo Kit 16-Inch 56-Volt Carbon Fiber String Trimmer with POWERLOAD™ & 8-Inch Carbon Fiber Edger Attachment & 56-Volt Power Head, 4.0Ah Battery and 320W Charger Included

Adding this edger to my Ego collection has been a great move. Since I already have several batteries from other tools, I opted for the tool only version. One of the best things about this ecosystem is that any of the batteries work with any tool, which saved me some money here. I use this with the multi head system, and it is very easy to swap it out for my hedge trimmer or pole saw. Performance: I am a novice at lawn maintenance, but this tool made quick work of edges that hadn't been touched in over six months. It's powerful enough to rip through lots of excess grass and is quite sensitive to the throttle with how strong it spins. Because I had skipped an entire season of edging, the first pass was quite laborious and a bit of a workout. It does get heavy over time and will tax your body more than pushing a lawn mower would, but it is definitely doable. The second time I used it was much easier and faster without all that excess grass in the way. Functionality: the edger seems to only work in one direction with the blade on the right side. I didn't see a way to switch it to the left, so I just walk it down the line and then back up. It leaves the lawn looking very clean and crisp. It has already paid for itself now that I don't have to pay contractors to do it for me. I also like the edger blade is metal and doesn't have to be replaced by a line feed.

I've only used a gas weed eater that uses those goofy plastic fingers. It finally gave up the ghost last fall, and we just moved into a poorly maintained 6 acre property, so I ordered this with a pole saw attachment as well. I was pretty happy with it immediately. String cuts well, feeds easy, good power. Then I remembered the two speed option. High speed zips through grass and weeds like a monster. Then I finally ran out of string that it came with, and finally got to try out the well-regarded Max Power Twisted line. HOLY MOLY this thing is a monster. EGO should start selling these with that Twisted line, because I'm telling you that brought an already good product up to another level. It really cuts great, throws trimmings away well, and the 5.0 battery lasts longer than I can stand to run it, which is just how it should be. I'm very happy with it so far.

Big expensive batteries and this let's you attach multiple tools to it. This feels sturdy and as powerful as my gas echo. Swapping batteries is way easier than trying to maintain that.

If you want to go electric this is a good way to go. It's very heavy and if you're a slight person you may find this uncomfortable. It came with a strap which surprised me and am grateful for. Two things: it's very expensive but it is solid and all functions are first class. There are other similar trimmers but research always led me back to Ego. This particular combo never goes on sale. I watched and waited a year. Finally decided to go for it. Also...the 5.0ah battery only lasts approx 30 minutes. If you have a smaller area to edge/trim, that's fine. I have a large yard and walkway. It needs alot of attention. If you have an hour or more work to do you must have a back up battery if not 3. I recommend getting at least a 9.0ah battery. The charger is excellent and usually recharges in about 30 minutes, so using two batts in tandem works. Lastly it has a great warranty so register it and save your documentation. I dont have confidence in technology but with a solid warranty with a solid company I feel more comfortable with an extreme purchase. So if you have some extra cash and you want to enter the electric field I'm willing to recommend this combo. You can expect a quality experience.

The accompanying shoulder strap is a huge plus. It is a little heavy. When adjusted properly it supports the edger very well. The edger does a very nice clean job and is much faster and easier to use than a string trimmer when it comes to edging the drive and walk. The adjustable wheel works as it should, it doesn't need to be set to cut very deep below the edge of the walk. As the blade wears you can easily adjust the wheel to the correct depth of cut. No issues with battery life no matter how small of an Ego battery you use. Quality construction from durable materials. Well worth the money.

I recently bought the EGO POWER+ Multi-Head Combo Kit to replace my long-serving gas-powered Stihl lawn equipment and I couldn't be happier with the switch. Moving away from two-stroke gas engines, mixing fuel, and yank-starting stubborn pull cords was a leap of faith, but this EGO setup completely delivers professional-grade power without any of the hassle. Key Highlights & Performance 1. Unmatched Power & Battery Life Stihl-Level Torque: I was skeptical about whether a 56V battery system could match the muscle of a gas Stihl, but the brushless motor produces incredible power. It slices through dense grass and thick weeds without bogging down. Battery & Charger: The included 4.0Ah battery provides plenty of runtime to manage trimming and edging on a standard yard without needing a recharge mid-job. The 320W charger gets you back up to full capacity remarkably fast. 2. 16” Carbon Fiber String Trimmer with POWERLOAD Tough & Lightweight: The carbon fiber shaft feels rock-solid yet lightweight, keeping arm fatigue to a minimum. Game-Changing Line Loading: The POWERLOAD technology is worth the upgrade alone. Feeding string into the head, pushing a button, and letting the motor wind it automatically completely eliminates the single most frustrating part of line trimmers. 3. Carbon Fiber Edger Attachment Crisp, Clean Lines: The edger attachment cuts razor-sharp edges along driveways and sidewalks. It has enough torque to slice through overgrown turf and soil effortlessly on the first pass. 4. Versatile Multi-Head System Space-Saving: The quick-connect multi-head system makes swapping between the trimmer and edger quick and tool-free. It saves significant storage space compared to keeping multiple standalone power tools in the garage. What Could Be Improved Weight Distribution: While lighter than many heavy gas units, adding the 4.0Ah battery to the head makes it back-heavy. Using a shoulder strap helps for longer yard sessions. If you’re on the fence about ditching gas equipment like Stihl or Husqvarna for cordless electric, this EGO POWER+ Combo Kit is the ultimate reason to make the jump. It delivers zero emissions, significantly lower noise, instant push-button starts, and genuine gas-equivalent performance. Highly recommended!

I now own several EGO products and I find they are all excellent products. Recently purchased and have used the edger with multi head power head. It is powerful and much better than the Echo edger I recently gave away. I would like to see EGO make the warranty registering process much more simple and easy to do. Do you really need a copy of the receipt from Amazon? Isn’t the order number sufficient enough?

The version with no battery is NOT a retail package. This is a bundle from a hardware store that the seller has removed the battery and charger from and sold for $50 less. This is good value versus buying the bare power head, but horrible value versus buying the original bundle. It is otherwise what is described but gets 3 stars for the scammy behavior.

Not much I can really say here, the units work flawlessly, although I do wish it did not weight as much as it did though, they are quite heavy with the battery installed. You need to use the shoulder straps they come with or at least mine did. Overall I would say 5 stars for functionality and ability to switch out the heads. but I would give it 4 stars for weight and comfort. Overall 4 star

First time owner of this product, quite satisfied, tons of power and long battery life

I’m happy with the item

Another amazing product from Ego. So much power! It does an incredible job.

Be aware that this new model have a much smaller guard. Used it two times and got scrap all over my pants, shirt and even on my face. EGO will need to address this ASAP.
