Wirecutter's upgrade pick: as powerful as the EGO trimmers, nicely balanced, with a turbo button and a head that reverses direction. Line loading is manual, the shaft doesn't telescope, and Amazon owners report mixed battery life and reliability.
In the box: Yes: 4Ah battery and charger (Amazon listing title)
Top complaints
- Mixed reliability and battery life
Reliability and battery life are mixed aspects in Amazon's summary; some owners say it stops working after about 15 minutes.
- Manual line loading
There's no auto-loading: you feed line through the head and wind it in by hand. Wirecutter says it works and is quick, but lacks the EGO's one-button ease.
Source: Wirecutter (NYT) - No telescoping shaft, mixed value
The shaft is fixed, so it may be unwieldy for shorter users (Wirecutter). Some Amazon owners call it an expensive waste of money.
What owners love
- EGO-level power
The only trimmer Wirecutter tested that rivaled its EGO pick in power; it cut thick knotweed stalks and only bogged down a bit in extremely dense grass. Amazon owners praise its power.
- Great balance and finish
Wirecutter liked its feel, smooth trigger and fit and finish, and weighed it at 10 lb. Amazon owners call it well built and lightweight.
- Reversible head and boost
A button reverses head rotation to throw clippings left or right, and a turbo button adds a burst of power. Wirecutter says its hum is mellower than the EGO's.
