Since I inherited the job of taking care of the lawn at my Mom's house about 3 years ago, one of the things I dread is weed trimming.
Lots of tree's, shrubs, etc, one big shed, & woods surrounding 2/3 of the lot.
My Dad had purchased 2 different gas powered trimmers in the past.
One is fairly small, maybe 5' long & the other is a 6' behemoth.
They share one trait, they both get harder to start & maintain every year.
I researched as much as I could, & narrowed it down to 4 different trimmers.
After that I went to all the local hardware stores, & the big box stores, hoping to talk to someone with experience, but no one was able to help me.
One of the brands I was considering is EGO.
Went to the Home Depot website and saw that they had the one I was looking for on sale for $149.00
EGO 15 in. 56-Volt Lithium-ion Electric Cordless String Trimmer with Rapid Reload Head and 2.5Ah Battery-ST1502SF - The Home Depot
I've only used it once, but I have to say I was pretty impressed.
To finish the entire job, I did have to recharge it one time.
This took 47 minutes.
I believe the warranty is for 3 years.
I'm hoping to hear from some of you that have had more years experience with cordless trimmer's & could give me an idea of how long the batteries last ?
Thanks
