No more loud noise and smelling like fumes. It’s a good company that has well designed tools and great warranties. Typical work around that’s recommended, if time is an issue is to drop off unit for warranty service, buy temporary replacement tool.
The trimmer strap is designed specifically for use with all EGO POWER+ 15″ string trimmers and the EGO POWER+ multi-head system. Yes, model number AP1500 is compatible with all EGO string trimmers. The EGO POWER+ Backpack Link adds more run time and less weight to your EGO tools.
It does just fine around chain link, but that really depends on your line choice. I love the ECHO twisted line, it cuts really fast and well, but around fence, if just gets chewed up. There is tougher line that doesn’t eat away, but then it usually doesn’t cut as well either.
If it can handle this, it’ll work just fine for lighter trimming tasks. The trimmer was also easy to control around trees. With so much power, this model is best suited for thick weeds and brush clearing.

Biggest thing – attachement capable as I was also getting the edger attachment. Never edging with a trimmer flipped over ever again – just not worth it. 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.
In the case of this system since the motor is on the end of the trimmer head – that sort of negates the attachment idea. Otherwise you would put motors in each attachment. It seems this Swiss made spray blower will work with Metabo 18V batteries, this brand just joined CAS with Metabo. They have other battery operated tools also. The testing conditions were very aggressive and very demanding. It’d be better if I could rent a brush cutter or mower, but the EGO 15″ trimmer worked well and even better than I had expected.
We also felt less vibration in this model compared to most others. It’s easy on the hands, and even after hours of use, we didn’t feel our hands go numb as they do with some other models. Instead of taking apart the head—or even winding it manually—you simply feed the 0.095″ line through one of the holes and pull it out the other end. Then, you pull the ends even so that the line centers up. As you hold down the button on the back of the motor, the Powerload head ratchets the line up evenly.
