EGO Power+ AL2420PD 095” Dual Color Pre-Cut Trimmer Line for All EGO 15-Inch String Trimmers, Green and orange

I've bought Stihl products for about 40 years, so when I was first interested in a battery powered trimmer I looked at a couple of their models at my local Ace. Right off the bat, the trigger release mechanism was hard to work on every display unit they had, and the employee couldn't get them to work any better. Their quality has really tanked over the last decade!Anyways, I did some research on other brands and decided to give this E-GO unit a try. So far I'm pretty impressed. It was easy to set up, and easy to use. The fit and finish is good and the trigger release works really well! I have a half acre with about two dozen trees, 75' of shrubs, and another 100' or so of landscape beds that I trim around which takes about 20 minutes. I used the low speed setting for thin areas and switched to high for the thicker stuff. I ended up with half battery life remaining when I was done, which would work out to about 40 minutes run time. The unit is a bit heavy (but expected with such a large battery) and the bump head is super sensitive...even letting out line if you get a little sloppy with controlling the unit and it slightly hits the ground. I really like the fact that nothing is running and there is no noise as I move between areas. All in all I would recommend this trimmer.

I never thought I would recommend a battery powered trimmer, yet here we are. My sister injured her shoulder and found it difficult to use her gas trimmer. Amazon had this on sale with good reviews. Easy to charge with a nice big battery. Uses regular trimmer line and even has an auto line wind that works really well. Before I gave it to her, I used it for a few minutes here around the farm. DAMN it did a great job, even on tough weeds. She is super happy with it and it just does a great job with everything. Battery lasts about 30 to 40 minutes depending on how heavy the grass is. May have to get me one.

My 10+ year old trusty Echo gas trimmer finally started giving me issues. Even after a tune-up it was increasingly more difficult to start and I noticed it was leaking fuel. I couldn't quite determine where the fuel leak was, and given the age of the trimmer, I decided it was time for a new one.I thought I'd go with another Echo or Stihl gas trimmer. But I saw these battery versions and they intrigued me so I decided to research them, and I ended up with this EGo trimmer.I have a decently large property for a neighborhood at 12K sq ft. But it's not huge. My first concern was given the size of the lot, will the battery hold up? Not an issue at all. I still have 2 (of 4) bars after each trim. I can trim the lot twice before it needs a recharge. I have some concerns about longevity, but for now, this is 5 stars.My second concern was power. On this matter, I can't go above 2.5 to 3 stars. The old Echo buzzed through grass like a hot knife through butter, and rarely did I run it at full throttle. Didn't have to! But even on high and at full speed, the EGo needs a bit more time to do the job. Don't get me wrong - it does it. But it's more like a lukewarm knife through a cold slab of butter. It's "workable" but it's iffy for folks with stands of weeds or anything thicker in nature. It's adequate, but less than exceptional on the St. Augustine grass I have.This brings me to the 3rd item - weight and comfort while using. I'd say it's a bit less in weight than the Echo, but it's actually more tiresome to use. By the end, my right arm, which I use to grab the handle on the pole...is really getting cranky. And I think it's because it takes me longer to trim the entire yard than the old Echo, because it's less powerful. It also feels less balanced than the Echo. I tried a shoulder harness, and it made things worse instead of better and I only used it once because I was frustrated with the lack of free movement allowed by the harness.Noise/Fumes - 10 out of 5! This is where it really shines. This thing is whisper quiet, there are no emissions, no gas to mix, no tune-ups to do, no fumes or emissions, and no crossing your fingers and hoping it starts this week. I also love how if I'm walking to spot to spot, or someone comes out to talk to me...just release the trigger and talk. When done, pull the trigger and you're right back to trimming. And it is all of the above as to why I plan to keep it until it dies.Design and ease of use? Excellent overall. I love the adjustments that can be made and they are so easy to make. I haven't loaded new string just yet, but it looks amazingly simple. And to just grab it, pull the trigger and be ready to trim? That's pretty awesome.Conclusion...Is this a perfect device? Nope. But if you're on a small to medium standard neighborhood lot with standard lawn grass you are trimming, and nothing overly thick...you'll be fine. Just crank it up to high and open the throttle and be a wee bit patient as it does take longer than a really good gas trimmer to work its way through the grass. It's plusses outweigh the negatives. 4 out of 5 overall. Good luck!.

Replaces a B&D and a GW string trimmer. This is the best so far, easy to load, easy to use. Recommended without hesitation, easy to feed the new string into the unit as well. Bear in mind, that the strap may be of use given the size/weight distribution of the tool. Would recommend to friends.

Handy having the pre-cut lengths, color coded makes it easier for auto winding.

Exactement le même produit à $ quelques $$ de moins et livré à la porte en deux jours. Quoi de mieux. Plus efficace que le fil simple régulier (de toute taille) et beaucoup plus résistant. À utiliser sur les produits EGO.

Powerfull and not so heavy. There is 2-speed option. Battery last easily more than 30 min and charge in 50 min which is great!

I purchase this strap to take some or most of the weight off my arms and shoulders since the Ego trimmer is very heavy. What the most beneficial part is that the trimmer only runs when you press the power button. No more buying gas and no money pulling the pull cord.This belt makes the job much easier to do the necessary grass trimming.Highly recommend.
