Thanks for the review Eric. I really want one of these told myself when my gas trimmer died I would get one. It won’t die, but I am starting to tell myself it is running bad and I think I saw some leaking oil. I am tired of messing with the gas.
LOL, I love the compromise. It’s hard to get rid of something that is still working great. Yes, I am so happy to be done with gas. Ego did an awesome job with this trimmer.
Well I pulled the trigger and bought one today. My gas one is on its last leg, that’s the story I am going with.
Russ, you will love it! Let us know what you think!!
When my little B&D trimmer dies I’m getting this, love the EGO stuff and the head design is amazing…heck, I might have to trip and accidentally drop the B&D in the pool. #TiACrew
LOL, I am loving the compromises I am seeing. At least I am not the only one who thinks like this. Good to know there are others.
I had a black and decker trimmer not too long ago, doesn’t compare to the EGO at all! When you make the change, you’ll be amazed!
ego 1500st did not last a year.I live in Colorado so I did not use it that much.The bump head fell apart.A very expensive JOKE.
I would contact them. That is very unusual for EGO. I am sure it’s under warranty. Might have just been a defective unit.
My customer service experience has been a total NIGHTMARE. **Please note that I actually like the lawnmower** On September 4, the lawnmower would not start. I bought this in April. Obviously, I needed to cut my lawn. The 1st customer representative advised me to bring in to Home Depot where I bought it, with the battery and they will ship it to a service center to be fixed. Then, after hearing no news about my lawnmower, I called the customer service line back on 9/28. Apparently, Home Depot never shipped the lawnmower out and it was still at the store! The customer service representative explained that it could still be 4-6 weeks……..even though it had already been 3.5 weeks. I explained to them that I STILL NEED TO CUT MY LAWN! They then sent me a “high grass blade” for the mower. After additional calls, they informed me that I would be getting a new mower. But, it would not come with a battery. Next, I call back to find out about the battery, and the customer service representative actually told me…..”you shouldn’t have sent that back, you should have gotten a brand new one as it’s less than a year from your purchase.” ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Your own customer service department set this all up. Next, on 10/9I finally get a mower, but can’t use because I don’t have a battery. Finally, I had to call on 10/15 to get the battery tracking number for the battery, which is scheduled to delivery on 10/15.
During this entire 6 week period, OBVIOUSLY I STILL NEED TO CUT MY LAWN!!! During this time, there were ZERO sh*ts given by EGO towards my lawn and the length of the growing grass. They never offered to pay for a rental, never offered a replacement for the time being, never offered to pay for a landscaper to CUT MY LAWN!
It is totally ridiculous that I bought a brand new lawnmower, and it broke, and you had NO ANSWER for my question “what about MY LAWN? The grass continues to grow…”
Fortunately, people who are only 5 inches tall are rare. I’m 5’4″, though, and I’m debating whether it would be too long for me. I’ve used corded electric trimmers in the past, but after 3 separate trimmers caught fire while in use, I switched to gas. The gas engine is pretty finicky, though.
How doe this line trimmer compare with the EGO Power Head Line Trimmer? I’m trying to decide between the the 2.
I agree that this string trimmer design is well thought out and loading cord is a snap. (The LM2130SP mower is fantastic!) I wish there was a way to shorten the trimmer shaft. I’m 5’2″ and other user is 5’4″. It is too long and control is a huge issue.
Yes, it would be nice if they could somehow design a sliding shaft. I am on the taller side so it’s short for me.
