I always have one battery sitting on the charger and I am using the other. This trimmer looks great and ‘almost’ makes me want to start mowing and trimming my yard again. I also used to have the Stihl gas trimmer. A couple of years ago I finally gave up the fight and started having someone mow and edge every other week and I just mowed in between because I hated edging so much. I still get to maintain plant beds and I am waiting on the miracle yard tool that will help me keep bermuda and zoysia grass out of the beds. The included battery lasts about 20 minutes depending on how hard the trimmer is working and other factors.
I have several ego products and appreciate having the batteries to use on all the equipment. Currently we offer FREE FedEx/UPS small package Ground shipping and FREE ABF/YRC freight ground shipping on most orders of $199 or more within the 48 contiguous states. Most orders under $199 will receive $6.49 flat rate shipping. Some irregular shaped or oversized items may include a special handling charge. The charge will show on the product detail page of applicable products. Having a love of automobiles that stems from his father’s racing days, Tim has spent a lifetime around cars and trucks.
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.
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.
If you already own some EGO products and have enough batteries, the trimmer can be purchased sans battery at a lower price. Yes, the battery always dies sooner than I like, but the EGO batteries run at full power until they need recharging with no power fade—a great feature. Extra batteries can always be purchased, but they are not cheap. I never understood why batteries cost so much when bought separately.
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.

The EGO Carbon Fiber String Trimmer also features a free-spinning bumper on the head.
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.
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.
