    I just bought this model last week, and I am ticklled pink. It was very expensive, but I have waster my money on 3 previous ones that were pretty wimpy and finiky! This one does the job, and the battery has more stamina than I do... at least for now. I have never used more than on segent out of 5! I have also used it on low speed, which seems more that fast enough tor me. Not having to bump feed it is a bonus! It also came with a full spool already loaded,,, and a extra length for when that runs out. I also bought a 5 pack of the official line from Amazon, so I expect for me that is a lifetime supply!

But i dont regret getting it at all . I already have a strap which , i will be using pretty much all the time .

    I grew up on a vegetable farm and we had four rows of blueberries I think 75 feet long and we had to put up a cage with netting because the birds just attacked them., We don’t live there anymore but the bushes are still there and the people that live there have really taken care of them and they’re huge now they’re like 40 years old.

    I'm thinking about buying one but I don't know whether to buy the 16th or the 15th in because I hear the 16-inch the new one I hear it's over $400 or 3:30 or over $400 which is a little expensive I think now should be around $179 but if it comes with a string and everything in the battery I'm going to check it out because we have more rain this year so we got more weeds everytime I look at these videos I get more information

    You've attached the handle backwards to the way that EGO shows it attached on the box.They have it such that it slopes toward your body and not away from it. It might be a minor thing, but it might be more comfortable.
