In this video we take a look at the EGO ST1521S battery powered trimmer. The ST1521 is a 56 volt lithium ion battery powered string trimmer that has created quite a buzz in the outdoor power industry. The reason that this trimmer has caught so many people's attention is because of one feature that so many people have been waiting decades for, A SELF WINDING STRING HEAD!! That's right, You read that right! With the EGO ST1521S all you have to do is push the string in through one of the eyes on the string head and then pull it through the other side. After that simply even up the 2 ends of your string and push the button located just abouve the string haed. The trimmer will begin to rachet and load the string into the head on its own! No removing any parts of the string head! No lost springs! No lost string eyes! No mower tangled line! No more winding the string in the wrong direction! These trimmers come with a 2.5 amp hour battery and a charger and usually run around $229. They have a 5 year warranty on the trimmer and a 3 year warranty on the battery and charger. They're very comparable to the gas powered trimmers in price, warranty, and power.

I LOVE my EGO cordless trimmer!!! I purchased a new Cub Cadet ZT1 50" zero turn mower and after 3 hours of use, it broke. It has been in the authorized repair center since 4/30 (it is now 6/18). I have been using my EGO trimmer since that time touching up the areas of the yard and around my shop while waiting for the return of my mower. This trimmer has run many an hour and has shown no faults. It is so convenient to use, I actually kind of enjoy weedeating now. Weird huh? My Stihl trimmer sits in the garage and will probably be out front during my next garage sale. This was a good purchase!

@Hucklebuz 5 лет назад

The hinge on the shaft is to fit in a box on the Home Depot store shelves. Once the shaft is straightened and the bolt installed, you NEVER take it out to fold the shaft for storage as wrongly stated in this video. This can damage the unit. This warning is in the directions. Ego sells the same unit without the hinge, likely not in the store but possibly on HD's web site. Great unit with allot of power.

@patriciamcdermott9589 4 года назад

i'm so glad that i stumbled upon your video. i have been looking for a trimmer for a month and i didn't want gas and i didn't want to spend a million dollars. i have a rather small side yard that is full of fox tail. every year it rains and rains so much in the spring that i can't get out to mow it before it ends up being 3 ft tall. then it goes from that to 100 degrees and i don't feel like doing it. my little 20 volt black and decker did nothing and i was just about ready to buy a hedge trimmer. i saw your video this morning , i called home depot and they said that it was a great product and very popular and it has a bunch of great reviews. But with your video i actually got to see it in action. i went and bought one today and when it stops raining and dries up a bit, i'll be out there slaying the tall grass and weeds. thanks for posting !!! REALLY appreciate it.

@EshlemaniaTV 5 лет назад

I haven't seen much that stops one of these trimmers. They hold up very well! And at that price how does that not increase profits for a landscaper when they have no gas, plugs, or filters to buy? I always have to laugh when I a landscaper says that a battery trimmer wouldn't have enough power for what they do and then you see them trimming light grass around flower beds and walk ways with their $300+ gas powered trimmer and running it at 1/4 to mid throttle.

I have a whole line of Ego products. I like the trimmer, have not had the battery issues that some others have commented..... But I cannot get past that it spins the wrong way

@EshlemaniaTV 4 года назад

Ya know the ability to spin the head both ways is about all that this trimmer is missing.

@charny5 4 года назад

@@EshlemaniaTV I would agree with that, but it still doesn't make sense that they would have the head spin clockwise. In many ways that alone also makes the guard unnecessary. Sure it keeps the line at a certain length, but it also helps to catch some of debri when the head is spinning the correct way which is counter-clockwise. With the rotation as is, you are throwing trimmings etc back in to the bed or whatever you are trimming unless you walk in a really awkward position that makes it even more difficult not to shave the ground.

@charny5 4 года назад

I suppose the argument could be made that if you were just hacking at high grass, or bushwhaking that it wouldn't make a difference. In fact might even be preferable. I feel pretty comfortable in stating that that's not really their target demographic though.

@normandivine1278 3 года назад

Good review, good explanation of how to load new line. One suggestion, the trimmer would do a much better job if you don't shove the head in so far because the line won't cut as efficiently as it would if you move in more slowly. Kinda like trying to force a chainsaw through a log trying to make it cut faster.

@laurencesvoboda5232 3 года назад

I owned one and liked it until I had trouble with the power-string feeder. I couldn't get it to spool up new line. I called Support, got the address for EGO's repair, and since it just happened to be located next door to Home Depot where I had bought it, I decided to try to return it to HD and get a new one. HD would only give me store credit since I had passed the 6 months date. Then HD told me they no longer carry EGO's, now only Ryobi and Milwaukie equivalents. To make a long story short, after reading the reviews on Ryobi and Milwaukie, I now think I should have had it fixed by EGO because I still have an EGO leaf blower, but without a charger or battery! Argh! Your review changed my mind. It's a good machine, just get it fixed.

I went ahead and picked up the blower so I could get accessories with my "2nd battery/charger pack". ::value hunter:: Turns out, I didn't run out of juice on the first battery!!........... Yet...... If a person is on the fence I can't imagine this model being a bad choice comparatively. So, I hate to be redundant but I really appreciate your advice on this purchase. I will say this, i'm not as strong as used to be nor do I have the same endurance.... and I definitely worked my arms to jelly. Looks like I better get serious about fitness...

@Bob_Adkins 4 года назад

Good machine, good demo. Those weeds are tough and nasty. It appears this trimmer will do anything a gas trimmer will do, and finish most yards with 1 battery. 3 year battery warranty is very impressive, but I'm hearing some of them fail (I inherited a dead one from a friend, it contained 28 *great* 20A 2.5 ah Samsung cells!). Is the replaced battery pack also under 3 year warranty, or only the original battery? Thanks for the film!

@raytennantjr.7535 4 года назад

Sure wish the EGO ST1520S worked as well as the day I bought it, which was in May 2019. Started off with great promise with easy loading of the string and the batteries lasted long enough to complete the entire yard. The self-loading feature was fantastic. Slowly over the next five months stringing was less then ideal, and the electrical self-loading was very inconsistent. Pretty soon it became apparent this design couldn't hold up to long-term use. Attempts to talk to the EGO company was just as aggravating as the machine itself. The company had limited coverage, and you were virtually forced to leave your name and number for them to return your call. After several attempts they finally return my call, but due to a telephone problem where they couldn’t hear me they hung up and never tried to call back. Considering it took them 12 hours to return my call made it even more frustrating. I would expect a machine the cost as much is this machine does should perform well for at least 12 months under normal personal use at your home. This one didn't. And the company was not responsive.

@EshlemaniaTV 4 года назад

Thanks for the feedback Ray. You know this trimmer comes with a 5 year warranty so if you bought it brand new and there is an issue with it you should take it to an EGO dealer for repair. Notice I said "DEALER" because you can not get warranty repairs performed at Home Depot or other EGO retailers. It must be an EGO authorized dealer which you can find on their dealer locator on the EGO website.

@EshlemaniaTV 6 лет назад

David you're right about needing better guys, but you know what they say...….. Good help is hard to find...….and guys that can actually mow straight lines are even harder to find these days. HAHA. We've found that trimmers like this are good to have in your fleet if you take on some high schoolers for the summer that you know will turn reloading the head into a 1/s day project...……..and at some point will probably put the wrong fuel in the trimmer. For $230 it's a cheap insurance policy.

@NWOization 6 лет назад

Eshlemania TV wait a minute, commercial users are users too. Most of the $500+ strimmers I've used on my farm, were inconsistent and very prone to breaking. The whole string loading is never easy and you never get good at it. In truth; it's a huge pain in the ass fumbling around with a wet, grassy line head whilst wearing thick gloves. If this helps landscapers get a job done quicker, what's not to love.

We used to sell Echo speed feed heads by the case to a company that was working in the area the one summer. After they came in and bought the second case in a month we asked what they were doing that they needed so many of these heads for. The guy said that they were switching everything over to speed feed heads so there was no reason to take the head apart to restring it. Turns out it was NOT because the people using the trimmer didn't know how restring it, but it was because they would take them apart and purposely throw the eyelets and spring out in the weeds so they would have an excuse to not have to work until someone got them a new head for their trimmer.

Yes on edging, turn the handle 45deg so the bars are at 12 o'clock and 3 o'clock, if that makes sense, so you can grab it while trimming or edging, throws out a lot of debris with or without the guard in place. Edges very well.

@EshlemaniaTV 3 года назад

There's actually a lot of landscapers and lawncare businesses switching over to battery or at least using a few battery powered products so there are quite a few solutions to that question. Some just plug in a charger at the customers house and charge a battery or 2 while they work. Most have an inverter in the truck that they can plug the charger in to. And then the extreme would be the companies that have installed solar panels on the roof of their box trucks and enclosed trailers to use the solar panel to recharge their batteries. There are companies out there that have been running nothing but battery powered products for a few seasons now. And that includes battery powered zero turns.

To extend the string all you have to do is have the trimmer running at full speed and TAP the string head on the ground. This will allows more string to come out.

The string head on the Dewalt trimmers is at an odd angle compared to gas trimmers. And there was not trick photography or smoke and mirrors in this video where this Ego trimmer does a great job taking down tall thick weeds just like a gas one would. And if price isn't an option, Stihl and Husqvarna have some very strong commercial battery powered string trimmers that are better than the Dewalt 60 volt. The Dewalt is a good trimmer, but there are plenty of others out there that are just as powerful and some that are even more powerful.

Like mine a lot. It has held up for 2 years with no problems. Battery life will be a little short if you have a lot of area on the 2AH battery that comes with it. About 20-30 minutes of use. So get a 2nd battery or 5 AH if you need it. It's quiet and does not have much vibration when compared to other brands I have used. Only regret is I did not get power head version so I could put an edger on it. Now will have to buy a sperate tool. DO NOT buy a DeWalt battery trimmer!! They are junk. The motor is on the head.

No water! Just brush or wipe off with a rag.. only downside to this trimmer is the motor is in the trimmer head.. makes it a little nose heavy also.. but no water or it's ruined.

How long does the battery last doing what you just did?

@EshlemaniaTV 4 года назад

We can do all this and quite a bit more. The 2.5 Ah battery usually lasts us 45 minutes trimming around this area.

*I have used Stihl for over 20 years 🌴 **allabout.wiki/EGO** and after reading some reviews of this trimmer, I tried EGO Power+ , and I'm going to switch. Compared to several Stihl trimmers I've had, this one is easier to start, quieter, and feels at least as well built . A major plus is it doesn't have the wonky, always leaking, complicated gas tank caps that Stihl has.*

The Husqvarna 536LiXP trimmer is one of the best, if not the best, battery powered trimmers on the market. But the price is what keeps the average homeowner away. It's well balanced and you can run the head in both directions. But you have to buy the trimmer, battery, and charger all separate and just the trimmer it self is more expensive than the ST1521S trimmer kit from EGO. The EGO ST1521S is a solid unit that is so simple to use thanks to the power loading string head. It's also balanced just as well as the Husqvarna 536LiXP and doesn't have the trimmer head mounted at a goofy angle like most battery powered trimmers. We're on year 2 with the trimmer used in the video and as you can see, we're not going easy on it.

Can you take the guard off?

@EshlemaniaTV 6 лет назад

When you buy one new in the box all you have to do is put the socket head cap screw in the pivot point of the shaft to lock the shaft into position, attach the handle, and attach the guard.

@tdl462 6 лет назад

Yes, I took the the guard off mine and boy what a difference a couple of more inches of line can make as well as reduced line usage, turns it into beast mode.......LOL

@user-qe6hb7ij3q 5 лет назад

tdl462 just bought one and I’m starting to like it. Per the manual it’s not recommended you take off the guard. It will over work the motor...

Hey, dude you got the wrong shirt on to be advertising ego. You needed to change. You needed to call the ego company and buy you a shirt.

@EshlemaniaTV 5 лет назад

We have mentioned to the EGO reps a few times that it would be nice to have a shirt or 2 for when we're using their products.

@rebeccapritchard4475 5 лет назад

Great information, but even as a woman, I weed eat a little stronger than this. I was waiting for you to really get down on it and tear up some weeds, not just hit the surface back and forth :(

@EshlemaniaTV 5 лет назад

Those were some pretty thick and tough weeds we were cutting through. Some over 1 inch in diameter. If you make multiple cuts on the weeds the pieces are smaller and decompose faster than just chopping them off at the bottom.

@rebeccapritchard4475 5 лет назад

@@EshlemaniaTV I am sure, its also twice the arm work. Going to try one out and see if it can keep up with me.
