Ego POWER+ 15" POWERLOAD String Trimmer ST1511T Reviews

Second replacement head also jams, with the line getting stuck inside; the problem returned sooner with a non-branded string than with the maker's own.

Repeated attempts to load a string the maker lists as compatible fail, so the line will not load into the head.

Brand-new factory-loaded head would not release line, then fed only one side and would not reload; a hardware-store friend agreed it was faulty and it went back to the store.

Trimmer stopped starting after two months with just a click; after a long phone call the maker agreed to send a replacement, though the mower and blower have been fine for years.

The auto-feed head rarely advances line when wanted and then dumps out a bunch at once, forcing a reload press as often as every two minutes.

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.

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.

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.

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.
