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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

With light use of around two hours a year, the packs drop into a self-discharge hibernation mode and still seem fine when the next season starts.
