Battery powered string trimmers, good, bad or ugly???

[nutntoit]

I got the combo Dewalt 20v trimmer and blower on sale as a buy one get one free promo. I am very satisfied with the purchase. The trimmer took a little getting used to since the motor is on the head and not the handle like a conventional trimmer so the balance is a little different. Works great for edging the yard and minor clearing of thicker weeds. Like others have said as long as you aren't expecting gas power you will like it. I would buy it again.

Got my Milwaukee trimmer the other day and I've only used it a couple times but I like it and these battery powered string trimmers are actually pretty impressive.  It's really nice to just pop a battery in and off you go.

I found a good deal on an 80V kobalt trimmer/blower set and have been very impressed by both units. For reference, I've used both corded and gas units in the past.

Recently? I was thinking of buying this one.

When researching different models and watching/reading reviews, the Milwaukee had the highest rated RPM of the different ones I looked at, And, already having other 18V Milwaukee tools/batteries, it made for a pretty easy decision.

I have a couple of Milwaukee tools, but they're all m12's dangit

About a week ago, not from a retail store though. Used but basically unused.

not a trimmer, but we just bought the EGO 21" mower on Monday(was on sale for $370). My son used it yesterday and said it was great. Its quiet and did the yard in just over 30 minutes using the mulching adapter. It says the battery will last 45 minutes and did as advertised. As soon as our corded weed whacker dies, we will be getting the EGO version.

EGO has a full compliment of products. There is even a power head that will work with 8 attachment options

To the OP, glad you are enjoying your choice in the cordless options

I was thinking about the EGO weedwhacker. I tried out my buddy's 80v Kobalt trimmer last night. It was awesome. I'm sold. Just have to decide which one to buy. Either the Kobalt or the EGO is where I'm at.

I have an EGO and am happy with it.  I don't have a giant yard, but sometimes find I need to recharge it to finish the job.  But my yard has little hardscaping, so there are a lot of areas to trim.  That being said it usually takes only 20 minutes or so to recharge.
