But you’d have the other battery and another charger for less. Now you can have 2 batteries ready and change they both at once if need be. I took a gamble that the cordless electric would do the job and it certainly does. I’d argue it has more power than the gas 2 cycle. I only have an acre and change but I have a long driveway I edge with a lot of sidewalk too. Anyway I can edge the whole property and trim all I need to (around the house – front landscaping – etc) all on one battery charge.
Does their auto winder use the motor to rewind the string inside or it is some form of spring loaded. I think Stihl has a sun joe lawn mower new setup that does something like autowind and the motor runs it back. Next time I’ll try for “before and after” photos.
There is some pro cordless mowers that compete with pro zero turns – but you’re talking about a 17K mower. Many companies moved to a split shaft on it saves on shipping and boxes. But for others the split boom allows for an attachment system. But with respect to your battery use I’m surprised it took so much.
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 . Pro Tool Reviews is a successful online publication that has been providing tool reviews and industry news since 2008.
Every EGO 56 Volt ARC Lithium battery powers the entire POWER+ platform of 50-plus tools. Loading the string on the Ego Power+ is relatively easy thanks to the Powerload feature. To load, you merely need to insert the string and press a button at the base of the shaft, and it will wind the string for you. This method is easy and efficient, though we found the spool difficult to open in the event of maintenance. To feed out more string, you need to lightly bump the trimmer head against the ground, allowing for uninterrupted weed-eating action. Speed settings are adjusted by changing the pressure on the trigger, though the range is essentially high speed and then higher speeds.
This trimmer cut through 1-inch-thick Japanese knotweed as if it were grass, while the others pathetically slapped their strings against the thick stalks. Considering all that greenworks pro power, you’d expect this trimmer to be noisy. But it was the quietest tool we tested, with a hair-dryer-like hum that sounded more pleasant than the whine of its competitors.
