" ... It could use a bit of a bigger guard like other trimmers. ... "
" ... So when my son purchased a EGO trimmer I thought I would try one. ... "
" ... This power and endurance of this trimmer is unbelievable, and the battery is interchangeable with the EGO hedge trimmer which is also solidly made. ... "
" ... Very pleased with the trimmer will probably get the hedge trimmer next. ... "
" ... It is well balanced and cuts very effectively, with plenty of power to take down heavy weeds. ... "
" ... Very good trimmer. ... I bought this to replace a corded trimmer and this is not any heavier and a lot easier to use. ... "
" ... Works as well as my gas powered trimmer !!!!!! ... "
" ... Cuts really well and balanced. ... "

" ... It has plenty of power and the battery allowed me to do a lot of trimming and then I just put the battery for the mower in and finished up. ... Just pop in the battery and pull the trigger. ... "
" ... We have the battery and recharging kit too and it all works together seamlessly ... "
" ... I haven't timed exactly how long it runs for on a charge, but for the 2AH battery it seems reasonable enough, and I can always get a second or go for the 4AH if I need more runtime in the future. ... Perhaps some people would prefer a strap for it, but I was fine without one at least with the smaller battery. ... "
" ... I charged the battery before first use, and have trimmed and edged my yard about 6 times now, with the battery still showing full power. ... "
" ... I also ordered the Ego leaf blower, which uses the same battery and I like that a lot also. ... "
" ... Great battery powered string trimmer. ... Battery last for a great time. ... "
" ... I am going to buy the blower next and possibly another battery. ... "
" ... We already had the battery and charger to use with the chainsaw. ... The battery lasts a long time. ... "

" ... Pieces of the replacement parts were not included in the package, so it was impossible to do the replacements. ... "
" ... Returned it and bought one of those plastic whackers. ... "
" ... After using this just once, the bottom piece that you tap to extend the cutting wire fell off. ... "
" ... I've been fighting with this thing to stay together since purchase and have spent countless hours taking apart and putting it back together. ... "
" ... This product is different: It's damn near impossible to put string on this thing. ... Although it's well made, it's not usable due to the almost unbelievable flaw with it's string mechanism. ... "
" ... We make sure we're winding in the correct direction and that the spring hasn't accidentally been lost. ... "
" ... HOWEVER, the replacement spools are very difficult to install and the string easily gets tangled inside the casing, requiring the user to frequently stop work, take the spool out, try to rewind it, and put things back together. ... "

" ... The best feature by far is the self unwinding head. ... "
" ... The handle/trigger on this model is more ergonomic than the handle/trigger on the detach model. ... "
" ... I also love the quick line replace head on it, just push the line straight through the head, twist the head clockwise and it winds the new line all by itself! ... "
" ... Others have said it, but seriously, wear clothing and real eye protecction. ... "
" ... It trims everything with ease, and the straight neck is what I prefer for edging as well. ... "
" ... Perhaps some people would prefer a strap for it, but I was fine without one at least with the smaller battery. ... "
" ... Long enough not to hurt your back. ... "

" ... The battery is easy to charge. ... "
" ... Once assembled, worked great, charge lasts well in the battery. ... "
" ... Ego's battery technology, specifically the cooling and charging system are what set it apart from its competitors. ... "
" ... The battery charger and battery are large. ... I used the trimmer right out of the box for almost 40 minutes without charging it and it still had plenty of power. ... "
" ... With these items, I only worry that the batteries have proper charge and get on working. ... I just plug it in for charging and 20 minutes later I continue with the yard work. ... "
" ... I charged the battery before first use, and have trimmed and edged my yard about 6 times now, with the battery still showing full power. ... "
" ... I'll trim three times before I recharge, no issues. ... "
" ... I was sure that I'd have to edge part, mow while the battery charged, and then finish up. ... "

" ... Great price and it does a great job. ... "
" ... This did the job. ... "
" ... It eats right through tough weeds when you run it at full throttle, while the slower speed is perfect for lighter grasses. ... "
" ... As long as I keep it's minimum speed high enough this isn't an issue, I just have to adapt and get used to hitting that point. ... "
