EGO Power+AL2420PD 095” Dual Color Pre-Cut Trimmer Line for All EGO 14-ft x 5 .095 in, Green and Orange

Purchased to replace a Cub Cadet SS270 trimmer. This trimmer has much more power than the gas model I replaced. A really nice feature is the design of the head. The head (unlike my Cub Cadet) has no place where long grass can get caught up and tangled, which was a frequent issue with the Cub Cadet. I've been using with a 5ah battery from my leaf blower, which gives it plenty of power to complete all trimming on my 1+acr property (at least 1.5 hours on a charge, but never ran out yet). I'll be looking to purchase a 2.5ah battery to make the overall unit a little lighter, but with the 5ah it's still not as heave as the gas model. Not having to keep and mix fuels is also nice

I bought this trimmer to replace a Stihl FS-91 gas trimmer.Not only is the EGO much lighter (with a 5.0 Ah battery), it is also much faster than the Stihl. It's not because it's more powerful. It's the Line IQ feature of the EGO. The Line IQ keeps the string the right length all the time, so the trimmer is working at its full 16-inches of string all the time, and I don't have to spend any time tapping it on the ground to adjust the string length. I am amazed at how much time that saves!The EGO powered through 12"-high weeds on low without slowing down, handled edging some 8"-high periwinkle without a problem, and did a great job doing away with the weeds growing up though a natural stone pathway. After using it for about half an hour to finish what took me 45 minutes with the Stihl, I still had five bars on a 5.0 Ah battery. I'm impressed!The throttle is much more forgiving than with a gas trimmer; it's much easier to maintain a set speed, and the low- and high-speeds are handy, though I never needed the high speed beyond just testing to see if it worked.I don't know if this trimmer will last as long as the gas trimmers I've had, but it is so much more convenient, easy to use, and efficient that I am loving it while it does!

This is a huge upgrade from my old corded B&D. It's powerful, it's well-balanced; the string auto-feeds; and the battery lasts for my entire back yard. If you lack much upper body strength, you might find this a bit tiring, but I'm a 70 year old man and using this thing is fun.

I absolutely love this tool. I have several Ego tools that I am very pleased with. All batteries work with all tools and I have plenty of batteries so buying this tool without the battery was a nobrainer.The self feed (Line IQ) works seamlessly. As the line is broken or shortened by use it automatically advances more line with no interruption to use & no more tap & go. Their is always line available. I never liked loading new line on the old trimmer & I have not had to load new line on this one yet but look forward to trying the power load feature. It looks to be easy.

I have been buying and burning up striing trimmers since the first corded WeedEater came out way back when. All were OK, but replacing broken line was always a pain. Even the bump feeds were finicky, hard to load and jam-o-matics. This IQ feed is spectacular. Coupled with the EGO auto-load feature, it is simply spectacular. And it really whacks grass and weeds, even on the lower of the two speed settings. It's pricey, but I highly recommend you splurge and treat yourself. You will NOT be sorry!!!
