Ego POWER+ 15" POWERLOAD String Trimmer ST1511T Reviews

A trimmer bought in April now cuts out shortly after starting whenever line is loaded in the head, and runs normally with the line removed.

With the head apart there is no splined driveshaft, so the brush-cutter attachments shown in videos will not fit, a disappointing limitation.

Could not find any safe way to fit blade attachments without the splined shaft and regrets not knowing that before buying the trimmer.

Refused to start after only two uses in the first month, despite a charged battery, loaded string and clean terminals.

Happy with it alongside a 615 CFM blower, saying both work great, before adding a mower to the set.

First use revealed the head spins clockwise, which makes edging cleanly harder than with their previous trimmer and takes some getting used to.

Two speeds, the telescoping shaft and easy line reloading all earn praise, with low used for most work and high kept in reserve for tougher spots.

Brand new unit jammed on line feed within minutes of first use; a warranty replacement head was offered and it was eventually exchanged at the store.

After about two hours on tall grass and edging, vibration was minimal and the small battery ran roughly 40 minutes on low through heavy overgrowth; they felt skipping the pricier carbon version was worth the savings.

A unit from a store return had a folding hinge that would not close enough to line up the screw holes; sent back despite choosing the brand to avoid factory issues.

Struggles to get the line to advance by bumping the head and asks whether this is a common problem with the trimmer.

Still learning the new telescopic trimmer and struggling to see the spinning line, which makes judging the cutting arc difficult.
