If you already own some EGO products and have enough batteries, the trimmer can be purchased sans battery at a lower price. Yes, the battery always dies sooner than I like, but the EGO batteries run at full power until they need recharging with no power fade—a great feature. Extra batteries can always be purchased, but they are not cheap. I never understood why batteries cost so much when bought separately.
The Ego line IQ model will NOT work with ANY .095 commercial line. It will auto wind any .095 line but will NOT ADVANCE the line using its IQ technology. This needs to be addressed by EGO and discontinue there False claims. Be set for the season with 5 sets of 14’ coils; professional grade line, no cutting from a bulk pack necessary. The EGO POWER+ Rapid Charger leads the industry in recharge times. In just 30 minutes, a depleted 2.5 Ah battery can be fully recharged with the Rapid Charger.
String Trimmer with POWERLOAD™ technology automatically winds your trimmer line. Can the new EGO String Trimmer with PowerLoad and Line IQ really be that much better than the competition? EGO is definitely no newcomer to the lawncare tool market, and they’ve pretty much set the standard for cordless leaf blowers.
A button above the trigger allows you to select Low or High speed. Using a 4Ah battery, the EGO string trimmer will run on Low for about an hour. All EGO tools carry a 5-year limited warranty purchased from authorized EGO retailers. There is a 3-year limited warranty on EGO Power+ System battery packs and chargers purchased from authorized EGO retailers.
EGO is no stranger to this concept, but doggone it, that PowerLoad string trimmer is awfully convenient. Now that the EGO PowerLoad Multi-Head String Trimmer is on its way for 2023, you won’t have to choose between the two. Also own EGO push mower for trimming and a blower for cleaning yard. Both are fantastic as they get the job done. Push mower has a light/thin cutting blade so avoid things like rocks and small tree limbs.
I wasted so much time restringing my old gas trimmers and this Ego Power does the job in SECONDS! We tested dozens of string trimmers and the EGO Powerload model with carbon-fiber shaft is the quietest. At the ear, our SPL meter showed it at just 80 dB. That’s quiet enough to trim at 5am and not wake the neighbors… Other trimmers are right behind this, but we love the quiet trend of battery-powered outdoor power tools.
Advancing the Line is done by bumping the head down. Removing the cap wasn’t effortless, but maybe it’ll be easier the second time around now that I know exactly how to push the tabs in. We work closely with GoDaddy and PayPal to provide a secure online shopping environment. We are highly recommended by customers on Reseller Ratings and have an A+ BBB rating.

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.
