10 weeks later, after dropping it off at HD and having them ship the entire trimmer to a service center somewhere, it came back a bit scratched up but with a new $2 plastic trigger installed. The runtime was actually impressive given how I was using the trimmer to cut thick tall grass and thicker-stemmed weeds that I had no business using a string trimmer on. I think that the 2.5Ah battery included in the kits would power the trimmer through at least several quick maintenance-trimming sun joe lawn mower sessions. To convert the trimmer into a mini-mower, you remove the wheels and reinstall them at the back of the debris guard, so they stick down below the plane of the trimmer string. Now you have a string trimmer on wheels, so it’s a little easier to maintain a consistent height above ground level. When we tested the mower function, we found it easy to roll the trimmer back and forth but harder to keep it parallel to the ground for a truly consistent cut.

It weighs 10 pounds, 10 ounces, putting it in the middle of the pack in terms of heft. This model features a carbon fiber shaft, making it very strong, though the whole unit isn’t particularly light. Rather than make this complex, EGO uses a simple green lever to free the telescoping aluminum shaft on this string trimmer. We love how everything that moves or adjusts in EGO gets the “green” treatment.
You never realize how important that is until you don’t have it. Another nice feature is that the trimmer only runs when the trigger is pulled. Once the trigger is let go, the motor stops—so the battery is only in use while the trimmer is spinning. With gas trimmers, the engine runs constantly whether the trimmer is trimming or not. REVIEWS – A couple of years ago, I reviewed the EGO Power+ 530 CFM Blower. I had never used a battery powered yard tool before and absolutely fell in love with its convenience and awesome power.
So far, EGO has already proven itself over and over again in terms of both power and runtime. Turning their sights on greenworks pro ergonomics just makes good sense. We’ve already been impressed with what we’ve experienced first-hand with this tool.
A small edge on the underside of the debris shield then cuts the end of the string to the proper length. The spool can hold about 16 feet of string, so you’ll have a constant supply, which is essential for longer or more aggressive trimming sessions. Our string trimmer recommendations are for those who want a reliable, powerful tool to help with post-mow cleanup and weed clearing. We weren’t looking for a pro-grade tool that could be used all day to flatten a hay field or that was necessarily durable enough for constant, rugged use. We were looking for one that was convenient for intermittent regular use, with enough oomph to handle grass, thick weeds, and the occasional stalky shrub.
