The Ego ST1511T Power+ String Trimmer with Powerload is the best of these tools . As it currently stands, the EGO 56V Powerload string trimmer is one the best we’ve tested for any homeowner. Its combination of lightweight carbon fiber shaft, low vibration, easy line loading, and excellent performance make it the complete package. Ego seems like a great company all around and their warranties show they aren’t afraid of backing up their equipment. I read something a while back about their batteries being advanced like the Tesla batteries but I don’t know much beyond that.
When I went to Home Depot to pick up a 5-pack of replacement line, I saw an Echo cordless string trimmer with a bent metal shaft. EGO says the carbon fiber shaft has a lifetime warranty, guaranteeing its strength and durability forever. EGO offers a couple of different cordless 15″ string trimmers. The main selling points of this model are the Powerload line reload feature and the carbon fiber shaft.
We are highly recommended by customers on Reseller Ratings and have an A+ BBB rating. I’d like to see a comparision (or I’m willing to do one next year if asked) between some of the other systems. I have the Echo 58V system and the Gen 1 trimmer motor. EGO now makes one with attachment capabilities too.
I might try it with a 2.5Ah battery, but I don’t think there will be much benefit to ergonomics or weight. Buying into EGO’s 56V cordless outdoor power system is easier on the wallet if you go with the 2.5Ah kit. But if you already have a charger and 5.0Ah battery, the bare tool is a good option. We tested the attachment-capable Ego Powerload String Kobalt KST 140XB-06 80V Max Straight Brushless Cordless String Trimmer and didn’t like the weight or the fussy interface. It also has only two speeds and no true variable-speed trigger. As for its downsides, we grew frustrated with the small debris guard, which caused our legs and shoes to be covered with grass trimmings.
With the telescopic aluminum shaft, easily adjust the shaft length for ease of use and comfort. This 15” String Trimmer with POWERLOAD technology automatically winds your trimmer line. This EGO 56V ARC Lithium Telescoping String Trimmer with POWERLOAD™ Technology automatically winds your trimmer line for you. Replacing greenworks pro your string line is as easy as feeding the line into the head and pressing a button. Plus the length of the telescopic aluminum shaft easily adjusts to the perfect height for comfort and ease of use. Wide cutting swath and is built with a high-efficiency brushless motor, bump feed line advance, and 0.095in.
In some extreme circumstances, only a gas tool will do—and we have a gas-powered pick for those. But those rarely apply to most people’s needs, so the rest of this section outlines our criteria for cordless string trimmers. Of all the trimmers we’ve tested, the Ego ST1511T Power+ String Trimmer with Powerload combines raw cutting power, finesse, handling, convenience, and run time in a way none of the others do. It also has the easiest line-load system we’ve tested, as well as a telescoping shaft and quick handle adjustment, to accommodate people of all heights. All of the Ego trimmers we’ve tested have marathon-like run times, often outlasting the others by nearly 40% (and in most cases by more than 50%). The ST1511T has the power to slice through dense grass, gnarly weeds, and even 1-inch-thick Japanese knotweed without slowing down.
