I recently purchased the same trimmer and it’s the best trimmer that I’ve ever purchased, gas or electric. It does a great job.
Didn’t expect to subscribe or laugh my ass off when I googled a review of my new trimmer. You’re hilarious, man.
I’m a 115 lb female. I bought one and am learning to use it. I love how quiet and light it is. Thanks for the great review!

Came here to learn how to reload string for my new weed eater. Leaving with all the same sentiments you have for this machine. Thanks for making my day!
I'm sold! Thanks for the video!
I use two 56v 16inch ego trimmers everyday for my residential lawn business. No complaints 👌
I just got mine today and freaking love it.
Probably one of the single best reviews i have seen for this game changer. Great job!

Had this for years (and the hedge trimmer and blower) and have to say they are the best lawn care products I've ever owned. No regrets
Thank you 🤩! Love it! I hate changing the string also‼️
No more gas powered lawn equipment. I originally purchased the 56V leaf blower and love it. I just purchased this line trimmer and am expecting delivery today. The battery’s are interchangeable. Great design with power to spare. Thanks for the review.
I've got the Ego blower, hedge trimmer, and chain saw, this is next on my list, great review!

EGO are excellent products. I have their push mower and a pole saw of theirs. Both the mower and the pole saw in my opinion dominate every other electric brand in those two fields. I have mowed some THICK WET GRASS with that self propelled model push mower and the motor revs up and never seems to box down unless you are purposely trying to make it bog down. Battery life is also excellent. The pole saw is incredibly strong. Cuts like my Farm boss gas stihl
I’ve got one, love it, had it for two years, bought another battery. That makes a lot of difference if you are doing a lot of trimming. One thing I will tell you. Certain things aren’t covered under the 3 or 5 year warranty, I just paid 47.00 for a new head. It was warranted for 90 days. But it was still worth it. They said it was considered a wearable part.
Great review. Thank you for posting.
Thank you so much great video wish this was around when I had my landscaping maintenance business I hate hate hate changing sting I had the mower before selling my home my new home will be equipped with the whole line of EGO products
I am definitely getting this. I wasn't going to get the carbon one but you made it seem like it's worth the extra 50 bucks. Thanks
I just bought this the other day at Lowe’s it’s a beast!!!! it will most certainly take care of the business!!!!!! I charged the battery that my unit came with and used One of my ego 56 V snowblower batteries until the trimmer battery was fully charged,,, The snowblower battery fits it’s 56 V and extremely heavy you won’t want to swing that around all day it will wear you out however I managed to cut a lot of weeds with it while I was charging the other one this has a little quirkiness to it if you learn how to do everything and get used to it it’s cool,,,I would highly recommend it👍
Great review, thank you! Gonna go get one now!
I have to say something important (really). I think it is great that this demo hit the nail right on the head when it was mentioned how great that wind up string is with that wonderful button:) :). I have another weed wacker (Greenworks 80 Volt Battery) that just about drove me insane trying to restring it. Every 10 minutes or so I had to go back in the garage and do the nightmare again, again n again etc :( Wow did you really show what I was thinking:) :) ha, ha:) :) :) !

Thanks nice demo.Will have check one out.
Can you use this as a multi loader? as in Edger and stuff?
Great video. Love the auto load line wind feature.( I also hate that line winding, flippity, floppity, juggling chore). I have the blower and diggin' that, so now It's time to toss the 2-cyc fume wielding, pain in the arse trimmer, and the cordlesd baby toy replacement I bought which requires hand pulling the string every 30 seconds!! Ugh!! Ego Rocks!
What would I be missing by getting this over their pro or higher end models?
Is the motor where the battery is or does it sit right on top of the cutting head?
Thanks brother thanks to you i know how to use my new EGO streamer thumbs up ...👍👍👍👍
Do the commercial models have the power loading function?
Just bought a house never had to cut grass ever till now does this do the clean edge as well?
Can you switch the head over for vertical edging?
How does it do edging sidewalks or do you need the attachment edger for an extra $100
I want to get this but I am left handed and I'm not sure the safety on the left side will work for me. I tihnk it would have been fine if it was on top/bottom like most trimmers.
I own the exact one. I love it
Wow this looks like a great trimmer but I was wondering is it possible to get it without the battery and charger as I already have an ego lawn mower so I could use the battery and charger off of that and maybe save some money
Great review, which do you like better or think is better performing and constructed the EGO or Milwaukee? Thanks
Will the snow shovel and brush system fit on this shaft?
Ya, great video and one amazing trimmer, I also have their snow blower and lawn mower, love them all. Q: Can the bottom pf the trimmer be hosed of with water to clean? Thanx
Great video Broski
Great review man!
Great video Can it do lawn edges?
Just put it together character the batter looked up reviews yours looked interesting so I watched it. Haven’t used it but based on your review I think I picked a winner!

Great! I got one on order! Little different. Not the carbon fiber, but DOES have 2 speeds plus telescoping shaft. I plan to use a 7.5 aH battery with it. Hope that’s not too heavy. Thanks for your upbeat review!!!

Great information on this item 👍
How long does the battery typically last? I must have missed that part.
Can you change the angle 90 degrees for edging?
lol i love this guy! i’m going to buy one!
How does this compare to the dewalt 60v?
I bought one a week ago, not the carbon fiber but the aluminum, it has a high and low option, 2.5 A, 56 V battery, and the battery only lasts 15 minutes. Is that normal or should I take it back?? Love the power. I’m clearing my 2 acres that I just got that hasn’t been cut in over a year. But the battery takes longer to charge than it lasts.
Like your channel, your Ego string weed eater still works great? Thank you
Great video, am very untested on buy the trimmer and lawnmower
Can I put an IDECH Rotary Scissor head on this?
on the gas echo trimmer if you hold the bottom part of the head and twist the top it works the same as the ego just no you twist and the string goes in
Nice review but you did not mention Edging or line extending and hitting the guard. ?
has anyone used the edger blade attachment. is it easy to swap string trimmer and edger blade attachments?
I own this weed eater and one thing I will add is that I have never had to stop and clean my head while working.
EGO Products ROCK!!!!!!!!
I got pretty aggravated with my 4stroke craftsman trimmer one day. I ended up wrapping it around a tree. The blower wasnt any better. So both to a trip to the scrap dumpster. I bought the carbon shaft EGO trimmer and the blower. Expensive yes,but I would trade em for anything. The ease of use and the power, what a joy.

What is the difference between EGO Power+ ST1511T vs ST1520S vs ST1521S?
Ego does have some excellent - top of line products - at a value price. I've got the EGO blower and trimmer, and this would make a great addition. Don't forget there are 1/2 dozen other attachments to this base tool. Thanks for this excellent information.
can you use a brush blade on this cute looking toy?
I just got this model with the 56 volt battery, and it is so much better than my older 2 stroke trimmer. Quiet, and powerful... oh, and the lightness with the carbon fiber shaft is fantastic. A great product.

Really enjoyed the video I got the exact ego weed trimmer with the carbon fiber. I really do like it already what you mention about the left-handed people using it, I am left-handed and there’s absolutely no problem using the weedeater the finger next to my thumb hits that safety button in a way I go. Just thought I’d let you know so I as for is a left-handed person can use this weedeater also. Thanks for doing a great review.

I bought it! I owned a lDC corded trimmer for 30+ years, and still have it. That thing just won't die! Anyway, I went ahead and bought the EGO, and wow, what a difference! I wanted to kick myself for waiting this long! But like I said, my IDC wouldn't die. So now that old boy will be going in my next garage sale. lol
Home Depot doesn't sell the brand anymore for some reason. I believe they used to be an exclusive seller of Ego. Anyway Ego does have other versions with the hi/low speed button.
Great presentation. Can you use the battery for their lawn mowers? I'll buy one soon.

Great review! I'm like Lee... I have the blower AND the mower (i DID have to take the mower in for repair as it just would not START even after just 5 months of use! They ended up sending me a brand new mower without the battery, though!) and was thinking of getting the string trimmer in either the carbon shaft OR the cheaper model! I was trying to see just how the split shaft works when given seeing the edger and other attachments that MIGHT or MIGHT NOT work with the upper half! Keep up the great reviews! (And you are right about it being QUIET! I think that I heard some birds tweeting off in the distance while you were "slicing and dicing!" HONEST!!)
Product not available from your link.
I find the rotation an issue, also it aggravates my O.U.S. but not taking away from your clip it does what you say it does
What is your opinion of this compared to the Milwaukee? I picked up the M18 Quik Lok yesterday and my initial impression in practical use was that it was a bit heavy compared to the Echo SRM-225 it replaced and the response of the throttle took some getting accustomed to. I found it easier to just put it in low speed and keep it at full throttle. The biggest annoyance so far is how thick the combined throttle safety and trigger are - I admit my hands are on the small side. The Ego throttle and safety look like they would be more comfortable. I picked the Milwaukee over the Ego partly because the Milwaukee felt better balanced, albeit I didn't get to fully experience the Ego balance because Home Depot didn't have battery packs mounted on the Ego models (stupid). Without a battery and the motor of the Ego mounted at the end of the trimmer its impossible to assume how well it would feel in hand.

Hangry hahaha. Love them I use 2 for work
That's amazing
amazing video
I already had the blower, which I love. So, when my trusty 20+year old Weedeater finally wouldn't start this past weekend after sitting all Winter I knew what I had to do: Go get an EGO that I knew would be able to share the same battery and charger. The one I bought (at Lowe's) was $199.99, though there was another 15" trimmer at $249.99. But this one suited me just fine. It does have a high and low setting, but the trigger is a little different than yours. I'll probably buy another EGO product in the future, because they are built well, and perform well, and the batteries are interchangable.
How can I pull more of the cutting line out to continue trimming?

Just bump it in the ground. When it's spinning, you basically bang the head on the ground and it will come out automatically
I just bought this one yesterday. After having the 12" model it got discontinued and since I didn't like to wind the cord. I was heading to buy the whole head and spool off eBay. Decided to pull the trigger on the carbon fiber one. Question, how long to you have to cut the string? Is it 15'?
I would buy the dang thing just for the line winder! Id love to see it work about the goofy guard on it. I was surprised at the power from the 18v Makita. The battery on that think must be a BEAST! Great review

I have had this trimmer for two weeks. I maintain a 2 acre yard and a 4 acre yard. It's a heavy tool, buy the shoulder strap! It's not a light tool. When compared to a gas trimmer, it's crazy quiet. It does not clog up. I used it around my pond, 3 foot tall grass and cat tails. I did not have to stop and unwind dead grass. It's stupid powerful... Cat tails like butter.. The 0.95 string does not easily break apart. I've had to recharge the battery twice and I'm still on the string that the unit came with. Buy the shoulder strap.... This video doesn't do the power of this thing any justice. This will clear a field with no problem.

Duration time?
How do you adjust it for height? Can you use it for edging? You promised everything. You did not deliver.
I bought one, its powerful enough to peel the paint off a barn! But the battery only lasts about 20 minutes. I took it back and the store swapped batteries for me, still I am only getting about 20 minutes life out of this second battery. Luckily they only take about 45min to charge. But I am disappointed, my black and decked 20v lasted almost twice as long. I would have bought another black and decker one if I could find the 2speed one again, I have been to several stores and they are not to be found.
I have the cordless Ego Blower. Love it! My Husband has the Gas Toro Edger & Trimmer. Being a woman there is something about the gas items. That is why I got the Cordless Ego Blower first. Now I am interested in the Cordless Ego Edger/ Weedeater. That is nice you did the Weedeater. What about the Ego Edger? If I can do all of this without asking my Husband to do this I will have it made. I have a Gravely ZT Mower which I love to do all my Lawns! Thank you for sharing this!!
