Partly because HD has very few in-store EGO certified techs despite being EGO’s official service center as well. Next time I’ll try for “before and after” photos. When I started the cleanup process yesterday, I wasn’t convinced that the trimmer would actually be suitable. I thought I’d have to give up on the overgrowth cleanup and then do some regular maintenance-style trimming tasks for testing purposes. But the trimmer was making good progress, and before I knew it I had reduced the overgrowth to winter ground cover. I liked how easy it was to load the line, and the bump advance is of course a convenience.
String Trimmer with POWERLOAD™ technology automatically winds your trimmer line. Can the new EGO String Trimmer with PowerLoad and Line IQ really be that much better than the competition? EGO is definitely no newcomer to the lawncare tool market, and they’ve pretty much set the standard for cordless leaf blowers.
This new model also features a side trigger safety control. Basically, you’ll need to hold down the safety switch on the side to pull the trigger and start the motor. Thankfully, it’s easily accessible with the thumb though it makes the tool a bit right-hander friendly. EGO has even optimized the speed to ensure that you don’t easily overwind the line or whip yourself in the face as it spools up. I don’t know about you, but I appreciate not being flogged by my string trimmer! This system completely revolutionizes how you load your string—we love it.
Cumbersome is the word that comes to mind after working with this string trimmer throughout the yard. Since we had to hold it at various awkward angles when trimming thinner brush, it’s not the model we want to use for bigger jobs, despite its power. It weighs 10 pounds, 10 ounces, putting it in the middle of the pack in terms of heft. The Ego Power+ 15-Inch String Trimmer with Powerload is all about power.
EGO parts are designed specifically for your EGO POWER+ products and offer the highest quality, performance and value. Great tool except the engineers who signed off on the variable speed trigger must not use string trimmers much. The new trimmer is not really variable speed like the old model. The new one is basically two speeds – fast and faster with nothing much in between.
