Field Test: EGO 56V Powerload Brushless String Trimmer with Carbon Fiber Shaft

Then press the POWERLOAD button and watch it wind into the head. It winds slowly enough so that there is little chance of the string disappearing completely into the head requiring you to start over. Loading string is now something I look forward to instead of dreading. The EGO Power+ 15” POWERLOAD String Trimmer is just that—a trimmer.

After the ten time in 30 mintes i boxed it back up and took ot back to the store. The trimmer also starts off strong for the first 30 seconds then tne power gets really weak. Maybe i got a bad one but ill never find out. The EGO Carbon Fiber String Trimmer runs $229 for the kit, which includes a 2.5Ah battery and charger. For those of you already on the EGO battery platform, the bare tool is available as well. The trimmer comes with a 5-year limited warranty.

With the included charger, the 2.5ah battery can be ready for another 30-minute job after about 50 minutes of charging. Like their other products, the EGO Power+ 15” POWERLOAD String Trimmer is made of durable green and gray plastic housing—except for the carbon fiber shaft. This shaft arrives folded in two that needs to be straightened and locked down with a provided hex key . The only assembly is attaching the protective debris shield and handle. It’s a good thing I photographed the trimmer when it was new and shiny because after one session, it looked like it has been used for years . I might try it with a 2.5Ah battery, but I don’t think there will be much benefit to ergonomics or weight.

Delivery delays may vary by region, by store or by appliance model. Certain conditions and restrictions apply. See your participating store for more details and to ensure this promotion is available in your area. This promotion may be terminated at any time without notice. The big question is… how is EGO accomplishing this? The PowerLoad button is still near the trimmer head and it comes on a new powerhead model.

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.

I bought this as the combo with the blower. The blower worked very well for what it is. The weed wacker on tbe other habd is the worst ive ever used. I wanted to slam it on the ground within the first five minutes. I tried several times even chabged to string for a new roll. Youll make it ten feet and the line disapears inside the head.

Then, when you arrive at the store of your choice, use the Instacart app to notify us. Depending on the store, a shopper or store employee will bring the groceries to your car, or you can pick them up at the designated area. Trim line doesn’t feed through to the other side and the bump advancer never works.
