Ego Power+ 16 Inch Powerload String Trimmer, Carbon Fiber Shaft Kit

This is my second string trimmer and my fifth EGO tool. All tools perform very well. Would suggest that you lower the cost of replacement batteries. May not need a new tool, but the cost of the battery is more than the tool + battery in the end. As you product promotes an alternative to gasoline powered tools, it seems wasteful to purchase another tool just to get a replacement batter.

I have only used the trimmer one time, but what a difference between this piece of equipment and my previous trimmer. And I really liked my previous trimmer. The EGO is a larger diameter string and doesn't break as easily as my other. With the auto reload feature for installing new line onto the spool, that is one task I am looking forward to not having to manually perform. With the yard care season winding down, getting more comfortable with the EGO will have to wait till next Spring, but I'm sure it will not disappoint.

The POWER+ 16” POWERLOAD™ String Trimmer with the Telescopic Carbon Fiber Shaft has completely transformed my yard-work routine. The POWERLOAD™ feature alone is worth every penny — reloading string, which used to be the most frustrating part of trimming, is now unbelievably fast and effortless. One push of a button and it's ready to go. The carbon fiber shaft makes a huge difference, too. It's incredibly strong but amazingly lightweight, so my arms don't feel exhausted after finishing the yard. The telescopic adjustment is another standout feature—it gives you the perfect fit no matter your height, making the whole experience more comfortable and precise. Performance-wise, this trimmer is a beast. The 16" cutting swath chews through thick grass and overgrown edges with ease, and the power stays consistent from start to finish. It feels like professional-grade equipment but is simple enough for anyone to use. Overall, this trimmer is one of the best investments I've made for my home. Durable, efficient, user-friendly, and packed with genuinely useful features — I highly recommend it to anyone who wants power and convenience without the hassle.

I have enjoyed my Ego products. However the trimmers has given me several challenges. The line won't feed when tapped. I've tried all the trouble shooting suggestions without success. I purchased the trimmer as part of the multi head tool. When switching attachments it's extremely difficult to make a connection without using quite a bit of force!

Purchased this unit to replace my gas powered unit. Due to declining health, the gas powered unit was becoming difficult for me to use due to its weight. The EGO unit fit the bill for me in the weight department. Carbon shaft and battery pack make things lighter today. Love the Powerload feature.

I've tried other battery trimmers but this is the best by far. Light-weight but powerful. Easy to use. Battery lasts a relatively long time. I use it in pretty rugged areas and it handles thick grass gets between rocks and is light enough to work in some pretty awkward spots.

I've always used gasoline powered equipment and gotten by with it but I'll be 74 in a few weeks and the weight, noise, smell and maintenance is getting tiresome. I bought the string trimmer and it's great. Lighter, quieter, cleaner ,cuts well and the battery is amazing. I'm now looking at my old gasoline push mower and wondering if it might be time for a change.

I love my Ego trimmer. The battery that came with the kit on the other hand didnt have any signs of life, no light or anything. I dont know if it was overdrawn from sitting and doesn't accept a charge now or what. I bought another battery which has worked flawlessly. Im impressed by the trimmers capability. Im interest in getting a blower aswell in the future. I may just need to steer clear of the BA1400 line batteries in the future.

Im used to gas power echo straight pole trimmers and this is my first electric trimmer. With 2.5ah battery its very light and balanced in the hands. The throttle has a low/high speed switch that is kinda not necessary IMHO. it has a very soft start to get it spinning fast. It takes a little getting used to but wow its quiet compared to 2T engine. The low speed control is nice when trimming around painted walls or fragile objects. I like it. I went all in on the EGO gardening equipment. See my other reviews.

EGO sells too many different products with various retailers. I thought I had purchased the trimmer with IQ, but after using it found out it only had t he power load feature. So it pretty much works like every other trimmer I've ever owned and am stuck with my poor ability to figure out the myriad of EGO SKUs.
