The Ego system works great for my size yard. I would like to get a bigger battery, mainly for the blower. The 2.5 AH doesn't last long when using the blower on high. I wish more people would take pride in their property. Cheers RBS
Yeah, I definitely think the 5ah is the minimum needed. I want to check out the 10ah! Yeah, folks need to take pride in their property. It's like getting out of bed and immediately getting dress and brushing your teeth. The simple act will make a huge impact on your productivity.
I thought the same but being Abit older the 5 amp gets abit heavy using the blower for about 29 minutes. So I think it's best to have minimum two 2.5 amp batteries to swap out on the trimmer or blower .
*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.*
I use the power heads commercially virtually all day every day, also I have the full carbon shaft model of that trimmer amazing tool, does have a defective trigger but still my favorite trimmer ever.
I’ve never considered not using the trimmer guard until now after watching you invert the trimmer around your backyard shrubs. The guard doesn’t “guard” much anyways since I still get pelted with debris. I do see you protect from the trimmer getting to close to you by wearing the rubber boots though. Strongly considering the switch from gas to cordless and being able to invert the trimmer without any worry of leaking fuel or the losing fuel to the motor because the clunker doesn’t move freely enough is so compelling.
Great video mate. Little petrol engines suck. When they don’t start, which they invariably don’t do, it ends up in hours of frustration. In Australia, the land of high prices, I’ve invested into the Ego system. I have the powerhead system you have that powers a trimmer & brush cutter. I also have a chainsaw & blower. Ego Australia often offers battery redemptions so after buying everything I have four batteries, three 2.5ah and one 5 ah batteries plus two chargers.
You guys do some pretty legit lawn care down under. I've only been to Australia for a few hours. I really want to get back. Stopped over in Syd on my way to NZ.
question: Hard to tell but when looking down at the string trimmer while it is operating, which way does the head sping? Clockwise or counter-clockwise? thanks
can you compare/contrast the dedicated trimmer you have with the front-end motor versus the rear motor power head version. Larger motor and battery both in the back of that multi-head system - does it make it back-heavy and throw the balance off for trimmer use? If I do not have much need for an edger and 99% just need a trimmer should I bother with the power-head system or just get a trimmer fomr ego?
Jeff, if you are only looking for a trimmer and have a 1/2 acre or less I would recommend going with just the Ego Trimmer. The 2.5 Amp Hour Battery should cover ya, and it is less weight. I used this product first, and had such a good experience I wanted to transition all my other tools over to a Ego platform. That's why I went with the multi-tool head. But, it can be expensive so I wouldn't go the multi-head tool route unless you are looking for a solution like that.
You know, I don’t really notice a vibration difference between the two. The stand alone is a little less weight. But not noticeable in my opinion w/ the 2Amp battery. It starts to go up in weight the bigger battery you use. I prefer the 5 with my size yard. 10,000 sq ft.
How does the power head version compared to the regular balance weight Wise. There's extra week because of a shaft in the power head version so isn't it heavier? And the motor and the battery is in the back so all the weight is now in the back. More vibrations? If you didn't need any of the attachments and just were trimming which trimmer would you choose just for trimming if price was not an issue?

you have some nice trimming skills...nice one
Ego products are bad ass. Nice!
Watch jason seiberlich. He has info on putting greens.
So many people that love this unit! Considering giving it a serious look.
You'd love them Gin. I wish I would've switched sooner.
Love mine, Have most of the attachments, You should check out the Pro series as well.
☀️ Will have to check out when the Stihl Kombi gives out. Great video! ☀️
Sunny Bermuda so many awesome products out there. And I want them all.
I use them commercially for power broom dethatching I run it 8 hours a day almost every day and its some how still alive...

Can you use other brand edger blades on this attachment. Ego brand edger blades are Abit pricy
I just ordered this combo unit as well..can’t wait to try it out myself. New Sub’d...
Connor X cheers man! Thanks for the sub, and I hope the unit works out. I love mine.
I use the power heads commercially virtually all day every day, also I have the full carbon shaft model of that trimmer amazing tool, does have a defective trigger but still my favorite trimmer ever.
Yeah, I wish I would've transitioned sooner.
Have you seen their new commercial line of tools and backpacks and adapters?

Were you able to do all of that with the 2.5ah battery or did it die so you switched to the 5ah ?

Nice unit.
Thanks Grace!
Somebody ask for “... lawn tools that have enough power...” ??? 😁
The Lawn Tools never met a lawn tool I didn’t like.
Question of the day... will the rotary scissors work on that? Awesome vid bro
I'm excited to try it out. Just only so much time in a day. I've got a lot of videos staking up, but I promise I'll get this one out soon!
question: Hard to tell but when looking down at the string trimmer while it is operating, which way does the head sping? Clockwise or counter-clockwise? thanks
Marc, the string trimmer head spins clockwise.
@@reelbobshady7458 thank you
The stand alone trimmer and the multi tool trimmer spin in opposite directions.

Have enough torque? That is where electric motor's dominate gas engines.Torque right frigging now!
How does the vibration and weight compare between the stand alone trimmer and the multi trimmer?

Crickey Bob you’ll go through a blade a week with all those edges
Well, it's definitely going to be a lot easier now that I don't have a dang power cord getting snagged behind me!
