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.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 25 days ago

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.

Reddit · r/Tools · 74 days ago

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.

Reddit · r/Tools · 74 days ago

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.

Reddit · r/Tools · 75 days ago

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

Reddit · r/Tools · 75 days ago

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

Reddit · r/Dewalt · 95 days ago

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.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 104 days ago

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

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 105 days ago

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.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 105 days ago

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

Reddit · r/Dewalt · 106 days ago

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

Reddit · r/Tools · 119 days ago

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

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 121 days ago

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.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 121 days ago

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

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 133 days ago

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

Reddit · r/Dewalt · 142 days ago

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.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 151 days ago

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.

Reddit · r/Carpentry · 160 days ago

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.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 165 days ago

Warranty call over a dead battery ended with a new battery and a replacement trimmer after sending the receipt; described it as a good customer service experience.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 178 days ago

Two and a half years of all-electric commercial lawn care plus rebuilding and repairing many packs, with their own testing showing little degradation under heavy abuse.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 180 days ago

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

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 181 days ago

Full set of Ego tools used frequently; batteries run on fast chargers and left on the charger still work like new after more than five years.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 192 days ago

The aluminum kit with the small included battery is very light and handy for smaller jobs.

Reddit · r/Dewalt · 199 days ago

A recent purchase that makes a grinding noise as it comes to a stop, which gets worse with a bigger bit such as a hole saw.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 201 days ago

Blower with a 5.0Ah battery from 2021, registered and recommended to everyone including a friend who got a mower.

Reddit · r/Tools · 212 days ago

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

Reddit · r/Tools · 212 days ago

Most of their cordless and outdoor gear runs on 20V with 4, 5 and 6Ah packs, which they find far smaller and cheaper than Ego's bulky batteries.

Reddit · r/lawncare · 216 days ago

All-battery on the 20V system with no regrets, well-built gear and no gas, with batteries brought indoors in winter and discharged to about half for storage.

Reddit · r/lawncare · 216 days ago

Nearly every battery tool is on the platform, with no bad batteries and some packs around eight years old, and tools are bought at holiday sales for the free batteries.

Reddit · r/lawncare · 216 days ago

Platform lithium batteries used for a long time without issues, alongside loved shop tools.

Reddit · r/lawncare · 216 days ago

A 2.5Ah kit about three years ago, used hard for landscaping and DIY on a 2 acre lot; replaced gas tools after repeated carb failures and a 5Ah trimmer kit runs nearly continuously.

Reddit · r/lawncare · 216 days ago

Several times a week on the driveway, deck and patio with the smallest battery, it has plenty of power but poor balance that tires the arm.

Reddit · r/lawncare · 216 days ago

The first 40V battery is starting to need replacement after about four years, which they consider acceptable.

Reddit · r/lawncare · 216 days ago

Hedge trimmer, blower, chainsaw and string trimmer on a 3Ah and 5Ah battery, all work great and the 5Ah is heavier but never runs out from full.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 218 days ago

High-capacity 60V batteries with cell balancing make the system very good in their view, and sales make the expensive packs worth it.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 220 days ago

An early mower was a trial of electric landscaping tools, and since 2019 there has been no going back to gas or to another brand.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 221 days ago

A start on a mix of Ryobi 40V and 56V tools ended fully on the 56V platform, very happy on a small yard after four years of use.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 221 days ago

One platform avoids juggling chargers across a snow blower, trimmer and blower, with minimal issues and almost no maintenance so far.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 221 days ago

Platform adopted a year ago with a mower and a trimmer, quite satisfied, noting a second battery helps and packs should cool before charging.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 221 days ago

Blower, trimmer, snowblower and mower added over about three years; mower is worth it, snowblower needs four batteries for a driveway, still recommends all of it.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 221 days ago

Great luck across a mower, leaf blower and chainsaw on the platform, though the small snowblower is weak.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 225 days ago

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.
