The person I am buying it for is about 5’5”. The length of the product is listed as 64.9 inches on the carbon fiber as well as on the telescopic adjustable 1511. I’m wondering if the adjustment on the 1511 makes it longer than 64.9 inches or shorter. If the shortest length you can make it is the same as the fixed length of the carbon fiber I would like to buy the carbon fiber. Can anyone here answer that for me?

Some suggestions for minimising or eliminating the line trimmer cutting out if that is an issue ... -A Line Trimmer NOT a lawn mower. Use the right tool for the job and you will rarely have any problems. -Keep the electrical contacts between the battery and the device clean. Use isopropyl alcohol to keep the contacts on the device in brand new condition. Use compressed air to keep the contacts on the battery clean. -Make sure that that the battery is tightly coupled to the trimmer at all times. -With the dual speed unit, try to use it as much as possible on the low speed setting. Added benefit is longer battery life. -Always use the correct gauge of trimmer line. Using thicker line than specified by the manufacturer will lead to premature failure of the unit. -When using the trimmer without a guard - not advisable but many do it - keep the length of the line to no more than the maxiumum length specified by the manufacturer. Should not be an issue if you always have the guard installed. -Don't run the trimmer at full speed for several minutes at a time - especially in hotter conditions. Added benefit here is that it will extend the life of the trimmer motor.

The carbon fiber one actually is a variable speed , if you lightly hit the trigger it’s a lower speed. Love the review thank you.
@Mowssouri
@Mowssouri 2 года назад
Heads Up!! You talked about the Carbon Fiber model power kept dying and you just had to stop and restart. I tech these all day long and here in lies the issue. When you run any stick trimmer without a guard and the string length is too long it stresses the gear box on the trimmer, thus throwing default codes back to the head unit and will shut off the machine. This stress also can happen on a gas model, however, the gas engine can compensate for power. Technically running your Ego trimmer without a head guard voids your warranty on your machine.

I had a model older than this one that I love. My sister has difficulty with tools that are too heavy and she actually loved mine and found it easy to use ru-vid.comUgkx_rBCFuDW1zD6blTGhLkvAkxU657uR_lG . This is a newer model but was even lighter which she really appreciates. She enjoys it and I no longer have to go to her house to trim as she can handle it fine. Haven't used it enough to comment on the battery life but lithium batteries last longer than the old style. Being cordless makes it easy to trim the far edges of the property. The entire yard can be trimmed with one charged battery.

My old B&D blower finally bit the dust yesterday. I had pretty much decided on Ego for a new blower & trimmer, and your video gave me a much needed education. I am vertically challenged and being able to adjust the length and other features of the ST1511T will suit me well. I was planning on buying the 615 blower, but when I went to Lowes, they only had the 650 in stock. Of course I bought it. But they did not have the ST1511T trimmer there, so I had to order it online. They had the blower & trimmer sold together, but it was not the right trimmer. The upside is the 650 blower comes with the 5 amp battery. Whoa, this thing is not a toy! It took about 20 minutes for the battery to finish charging and I brought it outside to clean up what was left from yesterday. This thing is so strong, it scared my dogs, lol. It took no time at all to clean up the sidewalk, street in front of my house and my patio. I can't wait to get the trimmer to see what it can do. With buying separate units, I will have two batteries, one 5 amp & on 2.5 amp. Thanks to your video, I knew what the difference was in the units, and I am confident I will have the right trimmer for me.

Got burned with a proprietary attachment system - each company's system is theirs alone. They may choose to phase out support for the current system before your battery's 3-year limit, or another company's powerhead will suddenly look great, but you're locked in with high switching costs. Where to dump my expand-it attachments? *sigh* You'll probly see me dragging a #12 extension cord for my crappy electric hedge trimmer and the edger too....

ST1400 series seems to be the best compromise for most homeowners/non-pros. A decent size (not huge, not tiny) at 13", Powerload for fast string loading, a decent weight/balance, and a middling price. I love the multi-tool head too, but most people don't really need the extra attachments for home use

@wleacock76 6 месяцев назад
Thank you for a nice review of the trimmers. I have the carbon fiber and the power head/edger unit, and I am thrilled with them both. I have had the edger motor stop if I push the edger forward too quickly and the torque load on the motor is too great. The motors probably stopped for you on the trimmers because you don’t have the safety shield/cutter on your unit, so your string was probably longer than the trimmer was designed. It is possible this puts an additional torque load on the trimmer, causing it to stop.

Helpful video. Do you have the new bump-free model? For denser grass, don't plunge the head into the thickness. Just use the edge of the string at all times. You technique with the 3rd trimmer was better so you had better results, Also, I think the multi-head one spins in a different direction (counter clockwise?), so you have to adjust your technique to the spin such that debris and cutting edge is going away from you.

I am trying to help my parents clean up the dry dead tall grass in front of their front yard. Would you recommend purchasing the string trimmer, or should I buy the metal trimmer instead? Please help.

The overload protection stopping the trimmer in heavy grass is because you took the guard off the trimmer. This allows the line diameter to become too large causing and increase load on the trimmer's motor. Thankfully Ego provided overload protection.

I had bought Ego line trimmer with I Q technology 2 yrs ago. Line will self release. Love it. However i have issues in feeding line & was not releasing too. It warrants for 5 yrs. The time the shop just change to a new head for it. That's great. This 2nd time i have not brought to the shop yet. Just wonder how can i do better next time to avoid this happen again.

I love my Ego mower, but the trimmer is way too long for me (5'2" female) and so rather heavy at that length...wish they made a model for short people!

I love when you're showing how to edge with the 1511 and saying "a whole lot more comfortable.." and it looks like the exact opposite of my definition of comfort. How much adjustment does the 1511 HAVE, though? You mentioned 2-3" but I've also read elsewhere it's about 12". Which is it?

If the one feels lighter than the carbon fiber it’s probably a balance issue with the handle placement and center of gravity

How long will the 2021 model operate doing standard trimming time wise with the 2.5 amp hour battery? Most of the ones I have found so far have 2.5 instead of the should be longer lasting 5.0 thanks

We live in Hawaii... Thick cane grass, lots of fibery vines, can have very wet grass. You say it bogs down in thicker grass. Right now i use a Stihl 91... POWERFUL! With thick trim line, can take down small saplings. Will any of the 3 models you showed keep up with my Sthil? And how many hours of run time with 5 ah battery? And can any of them 3 take the 5 ah battery?

Ego powerload vs rapid load. I like taking the weeds down to the dirt, scalping. Do you know which head has a better angle for that or they both the same. Better yet can you scalp with the powerload?

How hard is it to reload the string? Dose the string "self-feed"? Does it feed automatically? More details please.

Seems like these battery powered trimmers are all a little heavy. My Echo gas only weighs 11 lbs......4 more pounds or so makes a huge difference.
