I’m pretty impressed with Ryobi the last few years, they’ve really pumped up their offerings and remained budget friendly.

not far price wise from the pro brands. Around $50 less than an ego with 2.5 battery.

the straight shaft with 2.5 and rapid reload is a bit more expensive than a split shaft with 2.5 and rapid reload. Great find @khariV that’s a great deal for an ego. For only $20 extra than the Ryobi I wouldn’t even consider the Ryobi.

Typical, I own the brushed version that I bought last summer. Per usual, Milwaukee comes out with a brushless and so does Ryobi. I like my trimmer, but I am sure the run time is substantially better with this brushless model.
