Ego POWER+ 56V Battery Platform Reviews

Tools work great but batteries wear out quickly; warranty replaces a dead pack once but not the replacement.

The tools work well but the batteries are expensive and never discounted, and they wish they had started with DeWalt like their other tools.

Tools are fine for homeowner use, but battery cost is the weak point of the system; packs are very expensive so registering them for warranty and hunting bundle deals matters.

The tools themselves are quite good but the warranty system is practically unusable, a discovery made only after being deep in the ecosystem.

A large amount of equipment and over 30 batteries rarely need service, though the authorized service centers were awful in a chainsaw warranty repair.

Broken gear goes back to the local shop to be dealt with, and the tools break too often, though the warranty itself is acceptable.

A mower blade motor failed after only a few uses, but warranty authorization came within an hour and a local Ace shop returned it repaired in a week.

Two batteries died on them, but the maker replaced them.

One defective early battery was replaced under warranty, and a zero-turn mower running on six large packs is going into its third season without trouble.

Only gripe with the system is the growing pile of unused chargers that come with each tool, though a Nexus unit can double as a charger.
