Original unit now lets bits fall out of the chuck, which they have heard is a known problem.

Handheld is strong enough to clear stubborn helicopter seeds and debris from a one-third acre yard, though the weight leaves them fatigued and looking at a backpack model.

Two years with the handheld alongside a later-bought backpack model; the handheld stays handier around corners and tight spaces while the backpack is more comfortable for long leaf sessions.

In place of a 12V hydraulic driver, and with a small PowerStack battery, it stays close in weight, is more compact front to back, handles better and drives about twice as fast.

A three-tool 20V kit used almost daily for 12 years through many batteries, with no complaints and no reason to leave the proprietary ecosystem.

The 12V line cuts out on metal work and runs down within about half a minute in winter, while the 18V line is considered good.

With a 1.7Ah PowerStack battery it gives a perfect balance of weight, power and size, and is a must-have in their kit.

Running the 12V platform since it launched makes the competing 12V DeWalt gear feel gutless by comparison.

In place of an earlier model it works just as well and feels the same, but it does not try to snap the wrist when a bit sticks.

Handles leaves, clippings and deck clearing; two 5ah batteries are plenty for normal work plus occasional turbo on a reasonably sized residential yard.

Secondhand purchase with a 2.5ah battery; a brief porch cleanup test was enough to be happy with the blowing power, though not yet used for real lawn work.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 105 days ago

Step up from the 650 which was always on turbo; on normal it is roughly the older model on turbo with a boost above that, and turbo is often the default.

About 45 minutes to an hour of runtime on the included 5 amp-hour battery, which is judged perfect.

A $60 bare-tool clearance find a year earlier that has been great for casual DIY use.

Next to a Milwaukee equivalent it holds up, though the Milwaukee's brake and metal gear selector beat the plastic selector here.

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.

Five years of trouble-free use apart from the bump feed clogging when cutting dense stilt grass; has run both original and aftermarket line.

Rarely needs boost for gathering leaves from a Japanese maple, and the small 2.5Ah pack gives roughly an hour at partial power.

A kit with two 4Ah batteries for $230 a couple of months ago, and it makes a good replacement for the older model, especially when batteries are needed.

Original unit still going strong after seven years and is being passed down to a family member; prefers the PowerLoad line system over newer feeds.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 151 days ago

Plenty good for a standard yard; bumping for more line is no bother, and the auto line feed version was skipped after hearing mixed stories.

Came with a free compact stand, which they built a wheeled cart around for bigger job sites alongside a dust extractor, and they added brackets so the stand also carries their cordless saw.

Reddit · r/Carpentry · 161 days ago

Pairs the cordless table saw with a Kapex, mobile dust extractor and stand as a compact, top notch setup for cabinet installs, while noting it is pricey.

Reddit · r/Carpentry · 162 days ago

Fine as a stationary primary setup, but heavy, large and needs lots of wall clearance, which makes it a poor fit for moving room to room on jobs.
