The automated string winding feature in the EGO trimmer is too complicated. Don't believe the promotional video that shows how "easy" it is! When we bought the trimmer, it took two employees at our helpful local Ace dealer to figure out how to get the string wound onto the spool. Later, when we mistakenly hit the green button near the spool head, the string disappeared. The spool cap is nearly impossible to remove, and we again had to return the trimmer to Ace for help retrieving the string. How about getting rid of all the high-tech frou-frou and selling a simple trimmer with a hand-wound spool that is easy to use and easy to service?

My experience with there batteries, is to say the least “very poor” the main mower battery which came with the machine (and it’s not a big lawn) does not last the distance even when it says it’s full charged. As for the strummer that last about 15 (if that) on a full charge (according to the charger) Personal I am going to “bin”both these items & go back to petrol. Mega disappointed

I purchased the EGO self-propelled Mower. It was great until the battery failed and because it was under warranty, I contacted them. They had me try a number of things to see if the problem was the battery or the charger, turned out to be the battery. This was mid-July 2022. and I am still waiting for the battery they promised to replace. I have called 8 times and every time I am told it will go out the next week. I have gone the entire summer without the lawnmower. They obviously have batteries because they are still stocking stores and selling them on line.

I bought a house on the coast before selling my older home, so I needed yard tools. EGO string trimmer reviews were good, so I bought both a string trimmer and a hedge trimmer that used the same 56v lithium battery in case one ran down while I was using it. Both were infrequently used, but after three years, the first battery failed. After another year, the second battery failed. The batteries cost $125 each to replace, but despite having multiple EGO power tools, I will NOT buy new batteries, since the EGO tools have been inferior in my experience. When I bought the EGO power tools, I also bought Kobalt 80 volt mower and blower with interchangeable batteries that are both still going strong. I won't throw money at a bad decision. EGO is dead to me.

BELIEVE THE RATINGS. DO NOT BUY EGO!

Several days after the $700 mower guarantee expired, it died. Contacted the company after trying with a DEALER who sells them got nowhere with EGO. Got nowhere. Have now tried several more options - none of which worked. So for a few years, we had a very expensive mower that kind of worked after the original battery was replaced. The kicker - I wrote a bad review and it was removed from several sites. Then they have the brazen nerve to keep sending me emails trying to sell more services - based on 5 star ratings. Clearly they are crooks. RUN RUN RUN

I just want to warn anyone considering EGO battery powered tools to run not walk away. I have purchased a blower, weed eater and hedge trimmer all at the same time. I have suffered a severe heart attack and had difficulty starting my previous gasoline powered tools. From the beginning none of the devices performed as advertised. Almost immediately the batteries( I had two chargers and batteries for the three tools )began to function for less and less time when used. The head on the weed eater wore out in a matter of months. The blower has less and less power each time I attempt to use it. When I contacted customer service they offered no replacement for the weed eater head and did not even have one to sell me. They were dismissive of my issues and actually had the temerity to suggest that I upgrade to their new and vastly improved models of each tool. Fool me once shame on you. As The Who sang, I won't get fooled again. I hope sharing this will prevent other decent hard working families from being suckered by the spurious claims made by this wholly disreputable company.

Not a good product . Won’t last for even 3months.
