EGO Power+ AP1500 Shoulder Strap for EGO 56V String Trimmer/Leaf Blower/Multi Head System

Ditch the gas units. This puppy is the bomb! Super easy to load new twine and battery lasts about forty minutes. This purchase was long overdue. Highly recommended for sure.

Yes that sounds dramatic, but it's not an overstatement. This trimmer was such a massive upgrade for me and it has substantially improved my lawn maintenance routine. My previous trimmer was a cheap corded big box store brand and was long past its useful life when I decided to upgrade. I chose the EGO cordless based the outstanding reviews and now I know why it has such high ratings. This was an investment purchase for me (paid off in installments), so I did a ton of research before taking the leap. There was a lot of consensus among YouTubers and bloggers that this was a great product, but I was still a little reticent to drop this amount of cash on an optional piece of lawn equipment. But this baby has proved itself worthy of the price and the reviews! It was very easy to assemble, although I did have to watch a video to see if I was installing the handle correctly. Speaking of the handle, it's very sturdy but also very comfortable and my hand doesn't get tired of holding it. My favorite feature of this trimmer is the automatic string loader. It took me a little fiddling to figure out how to feed my line into the loading holes, but once I did, the magic began! The feeder is a little noisy and you have to keep an eye on it, because it will swallow up the whole string if you don't stop it in time. Don't worry if this happens to you though because it's easy to open up the string chamber and start over. The battery life on this baby is excellent! I've never run out of battery while trimming my lawn. I've used it for an extensive cleanup in my back yard to take down a large amount of brush, and it still didn't get close to running out of charge. The battery docking station was easy to mount to the wall, and the battery is fairly easy to get on and off the trimmer (although it takes a little push to get it on). I saw some reviewers say that the weight of this machine made their arms tired (primarily because of the big battery), but I find the weight to be an advantage. It makes the trimmer feel more sturdy and allows me to make smoother lines when I'm edging. This trimmer has made me a master at edging by the way. I get compliments on my lawn from fully grown dudes all the time (I'm a lil gal), and I can see their envy when I whip this bad boy out. My yard has the cleanest lines in the neighborhood, and I'm very proud of my progress at making crisp edges along my driveway and sidewalk. Overall, I cannot recommend this trimmer highly enough. My only regret is that I didn't buy it sooner!

I was one of those people that would use a gas powered line trimmer and I absolutely hated it which meant I would trim like 2 times per year to reduce the amount of swearing and kicking that I did. When I was shopping for a new trimmer, I knew that I would never want to hand load the line and never have to try and clean the carburator ever again.... Well this EGO trimmer is absolutely fantastic in solving those 2 issues and so much more. The auto load on this is amazing, it starts up the minute I pull the trigger and the variable speed on the unit has my line lasting so much longer. Its relatively light weight and well balanced so its easy to move and adjust. The adjustment hand holder is good for being able to go from trimming to edging while keeping the tool comfortable to use. The battery life is every bit as much as 45 minutes, so if I want to go full out I don't even mind edging the driveway and sidewalks every other week or so. Just a much more enjoyable experience and I'm really glad I made the switch. I really like the product line that EGO puts out (good construction quality) and I'm considering going to one of their leaf blowers next to complement this guy.

Very powerful but on the heavy side. The variable trigger is great.

It doesn’t make coffee or tell time, but it sure as heck can trim grass and weeds! Lots of power and excellent run time. Best trimmer I have owned.
