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.
Damn that's the most organized and clean shop i've ever seen. i can't even walk into mine. it's been declared disaster area. At last an edger with flat shaft instead of usual curved crap.

Thank you for mentioning that this powerhead will use the 7.5ah battery. That is the battery I have on my mower and although heavier I’m glad to know it will work on this tool. Couldn’t seem to find that info anywhere else. Good run down.
I have the powerhead. EGO should have included the shoulder strap. The batteries are heavy and makes the tool heavy. With that said, it is a great product.
I've seen so many reviews on EGO...it's pointless!! I say this because everything EGO touches is golden. I'm going to take my hammer to them and have them touch it to turn it to gold as well. EGO owns the electric tool market for yard stuff and they should they are doing it right! Go EGO! I was not endorsed by EGO but I bought some EGO stuff and it's fabulous!
I think EGO is giving Stihl a run for their money, I was just quoted pricing for the Stihl 16 inch battery chain saw, battery and charger as everything is sold separately $700 I purchased the 14 inch EGO $240 with 5 year warranty Stihl 2 year..
I asked Ego this exact question - their answer was "The BC3800E and ST1530E both have the same power as the PH1400E multi-tool powerhead unit. The difference between BC3800E and ST1530E and PH1400E is purely down to the handle configuration. The PH1400E would certainly give you more flexibility on how it can be used as it has more than 10 attachments which can fit on it." Obviously the dedicated trimmers have variable speed trigger.
@@quentinbell5617 No, I believe it just has a two speed trigger - I guess because it has to cater for all possible attachments - some of which may not work in a variable speed mode. Though there is a comment below that says it has "2 speed with variable trigger like high and low on a drilL" - which sounds the best of both worlds :)
Anything cuts fast in fast forward. How fast were you forwarding this video so maybe I can slow it down to compensate? Thanks for the video though! Just wishing I could get a little bit of the real speed in action.
@Steve Wilcox yea seems like ego are well made from all the research I've done. So far I believe that's the go to brand myself should I invest in larger than my 18v ryobi electric. The 18v ryobi brushless and only the brushless model string trimmer is a pleasant surprise and would be great for most people as I'd compare it to a cheap gas model. The ego I feel is definitely the pro grade stuff. I did trim 300 ft of fence on one 18v 4ah ryobi battery though but I feel with the newer 6ah and 9ah batteries it'd be awesome for most people that have that line already and it's more powerful than a lot of 40v models. Really voltage x ah rating gives a better realistic view of battery total power than ah or voltage alone for run time etc. For homeowner that has ryobi that model is great for the average person and yard. But I really would like to step up to the ego models as I feel they're the top of the line in balance, handling, and power and everything myself and think that'd be a little more comparable to my stihl fs-250 I'm use to lol. Hard to beat that model stihl as I personally believe it was the best ever made but the convenience of electric is super super super nice!
@@OurBuild Good to hear, and thanks for your quick reply.. I'm returning mine for a replacement, and if that doesn't do it, I guess I'll have to look for another brand.
Hey I went to Lowe’s and Ace and got NO WHERE! Hear that EGO. YOU ARE WASTING YOUR TIME WITH THESE TWO! Use experts like this guy and on line sales PERIOD! RWB
Yes, that sure is a sting in the tail. I really liked the look of this kit, but for professional use, the battery that comes supplied doesn't last long enough, and as you say, the longer lasting batteries, say 2 hours plus, are very expensive
@@tonynewnham3114 My Bosch 36 v Hedge trimmer is pretty good and got it cheap. Did a whole hedge with the 2.5ah battery and with charge left. Not tough growth, but most hedges are Privett type here anyway.
@@zarrow50 So if you had another say, four hedges to do that day, you'd definitely need two £750 batteries at least. Maybe you would have a way of charging them in your van or truck, I don't know. You definitely would not want to get out to your farthest customer, and run out of power! AT the moment, my only real motivation for battery power is health. My right hand 'trigger hand', goes numb after an hour these days, and swells to twice the size of the other hand, not nice at all, not to mention the back pain using the heavier petrol tools. I really like the idea of next to zero vibration with the electric kit, and the much lighter weight, but cannot really afford that size of investment at the moment :(
Important question you never answered how long does battery last an each tool? Does it vary? Everyone has seen how a hedger pole saw whipper works. Rubbish review
Can't always cover everything mate. If you click on the link to the EGO website below you can find out all that information, but I guess it's easier to be lazy and rubbish something... 🤦♂️
