The Best String Trimmer you may ever use - Best string trimmer 2023 and every year before 

I bought one last summer, love it. As you said when ever you need it, it's ready to go, and the 5 year warranty isn't bad either.

Exactly, I got the EGO self propelled mower and the string trimmer and discovered one benefit I didn't plan for .. I can work on the lawn early in the day as soon as lawn is dry and neighbors don't even hear me, .. they have told me they don't hear a thing, these machines are very stealthy, ...

Thank you for the review bought one and love it. Always hated the bump an go style bought a pass through push button feed head liked it better but still a pain. Recently had rotator cuff surgery and definitely respect not having to pull start or change fuel lines every season on my Stihl and Homelite

I just saw this EGO commercial on TV 10 minutes ago! Very impressive tool. But I'm not in the EGO battery family. And I don't string trim because I live in a rental. But I'm diggin my Makita 36v mower. No runs to the gas station to fill the gas can. No stinky gas and 2 cycle oil exhaust fumes. Almost no noise either. Battery powered is real naaaaaas laaaaak as far as I am concerned. No rain here in Kansas USA Clint!

I have several EGO products and they are great! Their batteries are beasts with really long life. I have the string trimmer, handheld blower, chainsaw and misting fan and can't say enough good things about them. As soon as they have the new minibike available I'll be buying that for my oldest grandson.

After watching you're very enjoyable video review, I went & bought this at Lowe's. If I needed this trimmer for grass, only, it would be fantastic!! But my biggest need for a more powerful weed eater than my battery powered Black & Decker, is to clean an uneven (1954) brick walkway behind my house that has grass over-taking it. This trimmer has power, for sure, but after about 4 feet of a 2' wide portion, the string was gone! I put in the 14' string that came in the box, & after only 2-3 feet of a 4' wide portion, that string was gone! My gosh, I guess it just kept auto-feeding the line. Even My battery B&D will do the entire walkway, just not great because of lack of power. I really think the problem came from the continual auto-feed of the line, due to using it on bricks. Thing is, my former lawn guy could clean 20' or more of the walkway with his gas trimmer!! I don't know what kind he had, might try to contact him & ask. For now, I sprayed the walkway with Roundup. I hate using chemicals, but it'll get the job done. Since that's my main purpose for having a stronger weed eater, this is going back to Lowe's. Hint to anyone buying, though -- the shoulder strap was truly a lifesaver in the time that I used the trimmer this morning!! I'm a 67 y.o. female, & this would've been too heavy for me otherwise. I have carpal tunnel in my right wrist, but with the strap, I just switched sides & used my left hand for the power switch. The strap is NOT the EGO name brand, but it was at the end of the aisle from the trimmers, at Lowe's, with the rolls of string. I'll keep the strap, might be able to use it with my smaller battery B&D trimmer.

Great video! I have a 3 year old ego string trimmer with a carbon fiber shaft and power load. Runs like a dream but I love all these new features.

I went to a big box store and asked for the trimmer that uses a Bat Ray. They laughed me out of the store! My son was able to find this one and we love it.

I love my EGO string trimmers. Unbelievable torque. Way more effective than any gas powered trimmer I’ve ever used. I have a little over 5 acres of weeds to knock down every spring. I mow about 80% of it with an EGO lawn mower, and string trim the rest. However! I have had terrible luck with the auto string load feature. The first EGO string trimmer I purchased, the auto load failed after about 3 loads. Very disappointing. I returned that one to Home Depot, and bought another one. This time the auto load string feature failed on the second day. Here’s the problem. There’s no way to manually load the string. I tried to contact EGO for help, but it was during the pandemic, and so they were unable to take my call. I read a few online forums, and decided to clean the head real good. That fixed it! But sadly, it failed again within a couple of hours. Nothing I did after that revived it. I even tried replacing the switch that you push to feed the string. So, in desperation, I purchased the cheaper EGO string trimmer without auto load. Two seasons later, I’m still using the non auto load EGO trimmer, and it works great. So in a nutshell, I’m skeptical about EGO trimmers that have these advanced features. I wonder how long this “auto string length” function will work. I will admit that some of this lack of reliability may be my fault. I use my trimmers very aggressively, often taking the weeds all the way down to bare dirt. This churns up a lot of dust, and makes a mess of the string head. I have to disassemble and clean the head about every 3 loads.

YES, Yes, Yes, This Really IS the BEST!!!

I love your sense of humor. I just placed an order for this trimmer. Thanks!

While researching EGO I came across this channel. My man is naturally funny and entertaining. I will check out more of your videos.

I switched to Ego from gas (residential use) and love it. No gasoline cans laying around, no mixing of fuel for 2 stroke, nada. Just put in a charged battery and go.

Just finished seeing your video. You provided very good information. I am looking for a weed eater and after seeing this , I'm going to purchase one. Thanks!

Happy I watched your video. I was getting ready to plunk down the cash for a Stihl trimmer. Ego has now entered the conversation. I like all of the convenience add one.

I've got an older EGO trimmer but it has that power load and it is fantastic!

Brand new 26cc Homelite from DTO for $65 is the best string trimmer. Shipping is $15 - Not paying hundreds for EGO or Greenworks because you always need a second 4ah battery which is $229 for greenworks 80v and the EVO 56V is $249.

Love the "Wahahahahahahah" and me too lol. Never thought they or somebody would come up with this design, I meant I knew I needed it because I started cutting the grass or weed once every other week but I always happen to run out of string a lot because of being a rookie to the gardening.

I bought mine last week. Really happy with it.

I just bought the EGO ST1511T (the basic model). Came with the 56V 2.5 AH battery/charger. Has 2 speed and press to wind features. I'm done with gas trimmers. I charge with my solar setup.

thats the best weedeater ive ever seen, clint im really looping forward to your next video👊👊🇺🇲

EGO ALL THE WAY! This will be the next purchase since it's a great reason to tool up when you need more bats. I love pulling up to new clients in my diesel and whipping out all electric equipment haha best of both worlds my friends!

I’ve been using mine for about a month and it’s been great.

Hello Clint. I have an earlier version of the Ego trimer and blower kits and they are great. I have 3/4 of an acre and can trim and blower the grass clipping use the same battery but now one of the batteries want hold a full charge. I still keep a gas blower for the fall leaves, but the Ego is and will be my main got to for lawn work. Ego is real nice like.

This thing is great, it is heavy duty. I purchased it at Lowe's it was $329 And because I opened up a Lowe's credit card they gave me 30% off... I actually saved $116.... But it is heavy to carry

I have 4 EGO products now, and videos to match and like you said, best string trimmer ever made!

I have the older version that I have to bump. But it has the power load and it is awsome, love this trimmer you don’t get all the bs that you get with gas. It’s the best battery operated trimmer.

The one issue I have that's not real nice like, is the multi-head setup. EGO only makes a specific model that allows for multi-head use. The MHC1502 kit comes with an edger. It doesn't have tele or string feed button or carbon fiber. I bought an EGO blower and chain saw last year. These things are built extremely well. The battery technology is finally here to shit-can those Dino juice burning noise makers. BTW, the video was real nice like. 😊

Howdy 👋 fellow Ohioan here. Thanks for awesome content and a great sense of humor to match

I believe you Clint! That thang is awesome! I have the Milwaukee string trimmer but damn…I like that thang! EGO is on my list for outdoor power tools! I’m lookin to get an EGO lawnmower.

Now ask them to make the motor direction reversible. Some awkward cuts mean you have to cut left handed so a reversible motor would make it reeeeeeally cool.

Just got one of these... was trying to decide between it and another gas powered.... but run time. The guy at the store said, " you keep the gas one running the WHOLE time that you're using it. You only keep this on when you are cutting." I bought it, took it home and I use it on the property, just under 2 acres... my house, the shop area (bis as both houses) and my in-laws house with all the drive ways and surrounds. The farthest L've run it down is just kissing the last bar, and I only have the 2.5 bhattrey. Get it, and you'll never get pissed because of a clogged, blocked, piece of crap carb again.

My favorite part of this video is when you go whaaaaaattt 😂 that part my friend is real nicelike

Omg you make me laugh😂.. I have this one and I would have to agree with ya.. it’s by far the best I’ve ever used. Keep up the awesome videos. It’s real nice like😂

Thanks, I hate the old way of loading string! Can't wait to get mine. Thanks again for the video!

Exactly what I searched last night

I purchased this weed eater It did fine But when you want to use it as edger and turn it sideways The auto feed does not work So I returned it back to Lowe’s I wanted so much work out

so you need a power button just to reel in a couple of feet that you do once in a year. And that is what makes this trimmer the best?

I've gotten into batteries for all my yard tools, except my lawn mowers. I don't miss my trimmers being gas. Oh no, I said it!!

I have one and it is crazy good!

SOOOOO glad I do NOT need one BUT if I did 👍👍👍 Do wish I could run my hemi without…..👍

I bought the ST 1520 with the Powerline 3 years ago. i use the small battery and don't love it. The Powerline is a bitch to load. hard to get the line through thew 2 eyelets and often the powerline doesn't wind up the string tight enough. The result is too short of lines after some cutting. It is a bit heavy if you have alot of trimming to do. i like the idea of the 2 speeds and hope that the new powerline is better than the old one. Maybe using Ego string would work better.

Had to Weedeatt some shoulder high grass/weeds with the ST 1613 .. power a plenty ..starts every time .. and no fumes … I use the Shakespeare braided line seems to feed just fine ..

I have the Milwaukee and it's quite heavy. I used it for thick weed grass and it kept shutting off. Maybe due to overheating, but it was disappointing. I'm going to try this one next.

I do love the EGO brand. I tried the trimmer and I wish it has a trimmer/edger combo. I know they do sell a separate attachment for the edger, but that's an additional cost and EGO brand is not cheap.

I can't afford to eat, let alone buy this beauty... I can only dream....

This was an amazing video.

Are you kidding I'm not changing string!

Iv the powerload normal n it brill. Also gt hedge trimmer longer one. Wish had iq strimmer as would b handy bud. Gd review 👌

i love you! xoxoxo subbed, liked, and many thanks!

I never thought researching weed wackers would be entertaining! So thank you! 😊

UPDATE: Second unit was NOT fine. It stopped feeding line through again, even with the EGO branded trimmer line. Another bad head. Disagree. I use all EGO equipment for my all-electric lawn care business. I bought a Line IQ trimmer last July and it lasted TWO months before it stopped feeding line in. Bought another unit the next day and as of this last week, it stopped feeding line through as well. Brought both to my local ACE Hardware and found that the head on the first unit needed to be replaced. Since I didn't call it in within 90 days, I learned that I had to pay out of pocket to replace it. The second unit was actually fine...it just refused to feed 0.95 Phantom Blue Twist trimmer line from Ballard (even though it's rated for 0.95). EGO Line worked fine...but it's garbage for commercial use. This unit is probably fine for residential users, but not for commercial. We lawn care professionals like to trim without the guards on. The Line IQ will push line out at inopportune times, making the line too long and forcing you to stop to cut it. When you need more line, you have to wait long periods for the unit to spit more out. In addition to these issues, the inability to use other brands of trimmer line as you see fit make this trimmer a real PITA for commercial use. I recommend just sticking with the regular POWERLOAD trimmer (without the Line IQ feature) with the bump feed. Other users on the EGO subReddit have had issues with the Line IQ as well. The EGO rep on the phone also confirmed that the EGO heads have had constant issues...

Great to know !!! I love my ego push mower 56v !!!!

Sounds too good to be true! I spend more time fussing with line than I do trimming. Wish I could try before buying.

Power Tools!!! Power Tools!!! Get It Get It Get It!

They need to make Bat-ray that work with all makes not just there's because gas-as works on any model. Good video I bought one.

This guy is so cool probably the most popular guy in school.

I’m going to Buy One , just wanted to see you good review that you do you did nice job so fucking tired of these 20 V batteries running out fucking lines are shit. Thank you sir.

I feel like ego and flex tools are taking over everything. Best tools and products on the market.

I still using my 5 years old ego trimmer and blower with 2 x 2.5 battery. It is good for 1/3 acres yard. The power just degraded. I am still researching a newer version or other similar band. I think ego still the best in the market.

Prove it's the best I could ever use by taking on my 54 acre farm, and thousands of feet of fence line. P.s. you only get 1 day to knock it all out.😂

Can you please do a follow-up video with the following demonstration? : I have an Ego string trimmer that is a couple of years old and I HATE it, and the reason is that my small female hands absolutely cannot remove the head to fix the string or change it or anything. I have tried using tools to pry it apart and everything, and it is impossible for me, my hands are not weak for a woman, but they are small and thus have less leverage. So can you do a video where someone with small hands takes the head apart? I will not buy another trimmer until I find one that I can service, it has been incredibly frustrating to have this tool I cannot fix. I do love the Ego batteries, but this is a dealbreaker for me, I will choose the trimmer that I can get apart. Fingers crossed you can show this demonstration!

I'm quite enjoying your videos, my good man. Thank you, for creating and sharing these. Q for you: how does this Ego compare with the Husqvarna line? I was told that brand is the way to go, for quality, for a bat-powered string trimmer, but - this Ego sounds real naace like!

Brother I always smeesh that like button hello from a Serb crazy tool guy just like youself.

I already have 4 battery platforms. I will stick to the ones I already have. For now…😂

Would you buy this trimmer separately or just stick with thr multi attachment head? Kind of torn because i need the edger too. The trimmer head on this thing is awesome.

Really hated the Line-IQ feature. Also because it rotated clockwise, which was very inconvenient. Bought the new 2023 version of the (EGO) multi-head trimmer which I find more faster and more robust. On the Line-IQ, I felt like I was always waiting for it to unreel more line. That is, I worked faster than the machine allowed.

I love my EGO products

I have the DeWalt 60 v string trimmer trimmer, it's a real monster

You're hilarious Bro! Nice work!

Great video man! You are funny too! Haha thanks

Did you see IR new compact Impact Driver's, they're real nice like. 💯

Very informative and entertaining

Smeeeshed like button.

What is the full string length? That is something that is very important? It's like buying a 36" rider, and only cutting 24"? If it's cutting width is only 12", it's not cutting like a 17" gas trimmer would, so it's not the best ever?

Auto string extension...auto string feed...pole extension...variable speed...carbon fibre. No doubt it costs a few bucks more...but you get what you pay for. I'm lookin for a new trimmer ... and THAT sounds like what I'm looking for!

The IQ automatic line feed really doesn't work very well. It waits until only 3 - 3.5 inches of line remains sticking out of each side, and then feeds out too much line which results in several 2" chunks of line in the yard. I don't mind the chunks of line, but trimming with only 3.5 inches of line is annoying, and it wastes quite a lot of line. I called their customer support (India I believe) and was told I cannot replace the IQ head with a regular bump feed head. There is no email address for EGO.

Great review! 😂

I guess I'll give one of these a try if my 25 year old 4 cycle Craftsman ever take a dump, the technology should be amazing by then lol

Hiw do you find it when edging ? Do you need a separate standalone edger or is the line iq capable ?

i see it does grass well but how about thick weeds? can you put a cutting wheel on it? thx!

Can it be used to get rid of wild grass and small weeds on the farm?

Yeah it's awesome! Well I don't dont have the fancy new one but the oldwr one is good

Yo Clint! Yep. If it works it works. I converted to electric string trimming a couple years ago. Not for the sake of "going green" but rather for sensibility. I'm in Florida (yes, cmon down!) and there's NOTHING worse than repeatedly pulling a rope on a small gas engine that won't start while it's 1,000 degrees outside. When my last "throw away" brand gas string trimmer took a dump, I went electric and haven't looked back. Although be it, I chose Ryobi not Ryobi 40v system. Only because of the attachment capability. Which leads me to my question. Does EGO offer any "attachment capable" options?

This is the first of your videos that I have seen. With that, I can tell that you don't run a lawn care service, or you have never done a large yard with a battery powered trimmer.

I'd guess it can't be run without the guard, and taking off the guard was a performance revelation for me. I run Atlas 80v for most of my OPE needs.

Its pretty good, i have dewalt flexvolt range and stihl kombi i will stick to.

Will this model also take an Echo/Shindaiwa Speed-Feed? I don't deny the IQ features sound nice.

Mine just came today!

Mate, bloody good review Cheers

Are these available in Australia?

how those it compare a year from now? Dewalt better or any other?

Wow got to get me one of these!!!

Real nice like 👍

Dang...Amazon won't ship it to me. How can I order one?

The best microplastic feeder for all living creatures.

That’s real nas like

I bought that one last year

The mayuhn hears dem angels.... 👼

Too bad echo, husky, and stihls electric options can’t compete with this. Unfortunately I’m not ready to give up gas, but once upon a time my dad bought a craftsman string trimmer. Auto feeding head, a string gauge that was the length of the string so you didn’t mark up trees and it had my absolute favorite feature, a button you pushed to turn the head over to make it an edger. That was a great little trimmer for 20 years ago.
