Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Battery-Powered Weed EatersTested: EGO, Milwaukee, DeWalt, Ryobi, Kobalt, Makita, Atlas (Harbor Freight), Greenworks, and ECHO. String trimmers (weed eaters) tested for cutting speed, trimmer head efficiency at dispensing trimmer line, trimmer head string capacity, noise level, vibration, electric motor start-up torque, maximum run time, battery recharge time, and debris shield design. I purchased all of the string trimmers to ensure a fair an unbiased review without any pressure from manufacturers. So, thank you for supporting the channel.

    For about 13 years now, I have owned and operated a licensed lawn maintenance business in northern Idaho and have been running the dual battery Makita commercially now for 3 years and have had ZERO issues with it! I did upgrade to a speed loading head and would highly recommend it! It has more than paid itself off with gas/oil mix savings for how much I work it. I haven't used any other electric trimmers and went with Makita because I already had 16 batteries, but again, no complaints at all. I rarely utilize the feature, but it is very handy to have the reverse spinning option, it automatically reverts to the regular rotation after 5 seconds. It's handy also for getting the backside of large square posts on vinyl fencing, as it's not possible to hit one side with one type of fixed rotation. You can also feather the throttle at any of the 3 speed settings. Great product! Thank you so much for making these extremely in-depth thorough un-biased videos, I just discovered your channel and subscribed, and am hooked and already recommending you to family and friends! I will most certainly be referencing your channel before any sort of purchases in the future 🙂 God bless

    You mention "more than paid itself off"... I'm wondering if you buy the pre-mixed gas which is like $20-25 a gallon? Because even at $3.50/gallon gas (plus whatever minimal expense adding the oil is), mixing it yourself isn't that expensive. As a homeowner I doubt I even go through a gallon a season, but I understand you do this daily/professionally...

The biggest issue I see a you did a great job at showcasing it is the 9 foot string capacity is lack luster but for someone like me who cuts and edges my grass every 2 weeks it is more than capable of cutting about a 1/4 acre yard on a single charge. Great video thank you for being so precise and accurate with your reviews.

    I bought the dewalt 20v max trimmer a couple of years ago. I hadn’t yet got into the flexvolt battery set and was on a small city lot with bluegrass. For that it worked fine, but wasn’t up to snuff for the woody brush at my current place. I replaced it with a stihl fs240, and didn’t look back. I wonder if the 60v flavor would have done the job, but I love the additional blade options and the handlebars with a husky harness is a lot easier on my back than any of the d handles I have used.

There's never a doubt to the validity of your findings and just how close in comparison your testing is to the real life average users method of usage. "Professional" testers such as Consumer Reports could learn a thing or two or twenty from your ability to provide concise, real world, unbiased and transparent testing with results the average consumer can then digest to make an educated purchase decision based on their needs. 👍👍👍

    I bought two EGOs earlier this year to weed whack my half acre, very steep, hillside. The first one had the standard bump feed head, and the other was the model tested here. I was able to complete the job significantly faster (probably twice as fast) using the model with the auto feed rather than the bump head because the steep uneven slope caused me to waste line when I'd inadvertently strike the hillside. Something to consider for those working different terrains. After watching this video, I'm thinking that Milaukee or Dewalt would be nice to try, but the reason I went with the EGO was the massive battery. Two large batteries are definitely needed for doing a half acre job, so you can alternate the battery in service vs on the charger. Awesome video! Thanks for the hard work.

It’s hard to beat it’s performance for the price. Picked it up because I was tired of running out of gas and mixing gas and oil several times during the season. I’m on board with these battery powered yard tools. They’ve come a long way in the last 10 years. I haven’t had any problems with the torque slowing down but I’m just trimming my yard, no brush or anything.

Previously I had a Ryobi hybrid trimmer that worked with either 18V battery or extension cord. I almost always used it with extension cord for more consistent power and lack of breaks to change batteries. The motor recently burned out while using a battery on a simple task, the trimmer was nearly 15 years old anyway… I bought that new Ryobi and it was phenomenal. I’m finally able to tackle over grown grass that 6’+ that the old trimmer could never affect.

Unlike some of the competition, you can still use existing attachments available everywhere. I originally wanted the Ego but they made it proprietary, so I skipped it. I can trim 320ft of fencing, edge 640ft of sidewalk and blow all the debris away at my moms and still have power left to do my own house.

    makita/dolmar and stihl are in my opinion the best for professional use. normally i can trim about 10km of lawn edges until i need to reload 16 ft of line. the trick is to (only possible for with the full pro gear) remove the lower part of the protection and use a bit longer line, while keeping the rpm down. additionally you can cut wide enough, you then can switch directly to the really big lawn mowers. cut down times to roughly 2/3 of normal. with the stihl kmr135a (multimotor, can mount loads of stuff, so totally overpowered), i get a little over 1h from the biggest non-backpack akku and about 30 min of cutting down hip height grass. one of the biggest factors in how clean the cuts are and how much akku/fuel you use, is the line. makita blue twisted roughly halfs the power consumption. (twisted is much sharper but not as strong, so needs to be kept at lower rpm).

    Great video, thanks! I went with the Ryobi as I’ve been using their gas string trimmer, and Xtend It tools for many years. Once the gas motor started to have issues, I swapped it out for the electric version. It works equally as well as the gas motor it replaced. It’s nice having one motor to run a string trimmer, pole saw, hedge trimmer, leaf blower, tiller, edger, etc.

    Love the outdoor power equipment tests. Hoping to see more tests like these between weed eaters, chainsaws, mowers, and blowers. So many options these days. Would like to see the tools that run on 18v,24v power tool batteries compared with each other. And the other higher voltage tools compared to each other. Great tests anyways, as always!

    I just bought the EGO and love it. I have problems using my hands due to a spinal cord injury many years ago and find loading the line difficult and thought I would try the self loading of the EGO and it works like a dream. The weight of the unit doesn't not bother me as I live in N. California and have a yard the size of a postage stamp, does everything I need it to do and more. Compared to my old gas trimmer, its a beast.

    Was literally having this convo with some coworkers early last week except they are dead set that you should only gas powered weed eaters for both personal and commercial use. Would’ve liked to seen some comparison with gas powered in the torque and the cut time/grass buildup while using tests. But all in all very helpful. Was definitely looking at getting the desalt trimmer before this video. This was that final reassurance to go ahead and get it. Thank you.

    you won't regret it, having used gas professionally, the new battery ones aren't lacking in anything but run time. mine lxt x2 makita goes almost 45mins. I'd see if you could rent or try one without a shaft, the in head motors are crazy no vibration. not sure if Dewalt has a shaftless model, but definitely worth looking into.

    Excellent work, this may be the best review I’ve ever seen for any prooduct. Thank you. By the way I bought the Milwaukee fuel with attachment capability and it is excellent. I already had batteries from other Milwaukee tools so it was pretty much a done deal already 😁 but it serves my needs perfectly as i just use it on my yard in a typical subdivision.

    I have the makita with the string trimmer and its really impressive. I bought the articulating hedge trimmer for blackberry bushes and other heavy vines around the property and it works really well and will even cut tree sprouts up to about 5/8". Last week i purchased the pole saw attatchment and drive shaft attatchment. Ive been cleaning up fruit trees and trimming oaks and cedars with it. It works really well but the vibration is much more noticable when it starts chewing up limbs. Overall im very happy with my property care setup now and could even go out and make some decent money with this tool.

    I've learned that if I have a lot of tall grass to cut with a trimmer, it's best to walk backwards while you trim. This keeps the grass from bunching up around the head. In the end, you have grass that's laid down nice and even, with no clumps. The string seems to last longer too as it's not trying to recut the grass clippings.

    What about the grass that you step on before you cut it? Have you ever noticed any cutting differences due to that? I definitely agree about the clumping, and walking backwards seems good to me when applicable. Often by a road edge or something it's dangerous.

    Thank you for this review! I thought I was being a dewalt fanboy thinking my trimmer was so powerful, glad to know I got a really good tool! Also a note that some trimmer brands have part replacements they sell at stores, which can affect whether the tool is worth the part replacement cost. It's very minor but a useful statistic.

    I have it as well and was wondering the same thing. It's the best trimmer I've had by far (I've had and tried many over the years) and have had no issues trimming my 3/4 acre property a few times without having to recharge. I hated to pay what it cost, but VERY glad I did. I also have the 60v circular saw, so getting the extra 60v battery helped make the decision a little easier

    I was excited to buy my ECHO trimmer a few years back and it has performed well; that is, until the batteries no longer worked. Since I have the previous 58v model I assume that ECHO knew about the battery issues and moved on to another battery form. Unfortunately, I also have a blower and a chain saw and each one uses these defective batteries. Until battery technology improves I would urge everyone to wait until batteries last more than a year. A big thanks for all of your informative reviews; you are a wonderful resource!!!

Definitely helps to ditch the small charger it comes with and grab one of the larger chargers that can charge batteries faster.

    I have about six (s)trimmers, most petrol. My biggest problems with them are a) getting them to run, b) getting the line to come out. Having recently ordered the Makita chainsaw and hedge trimmer thanks to you (and having just got two clone batteries), and being extremely satisfied with the Makita hammer drill which I can use with one hand (!), I'm naturally inclined to go with Makita, but will see some other reviews before deciding. Thanks for your incredible work.
