- Let's talk about the EGO ST-1520S. Did I keep it? Would I recommend it for residential use? I will also address the number one feature I like about this trimmer which can save you time and hassle.

I have the EGO Trimmer, Hedge Trimmer, Lawn Mower, blower, and misting fan. They are great products!
Awesome thanks for sharing
I got mine a month ago and it’s actually a treat to use.
Awesome good to hear
thank you
You’re welcome :)
I have the 1st and 2nd gen EGO trimmers. Both of them are great but my Stihl 100RX trimmer has a lot more cutting power and a lot lighter on the cutting end.
Thanks for the comment
The one I had ,had to be hand loaded and the string would always tangle because you could never get the double ended string to wrap tight. It would backlash on it self. And it was a bear to carry around all day.
thanks for sharing you experience with it
How does this handle weedy thicker growth? The lawn is a lot crabgrass and thicker weedy grass. Side yard has some hearty weeds as well.
I think it would work fine on think grass as long as it's not over 1' tall
I find the slower speed setting works fine for most situations and when I get into thicker growths I bump it up to the higher speed and just slow my sweep a bit. The Line IQ also just seems to work. It's nice not having to worry about the line length.
Have u had any issues with the actual trimmer head swinging back and forth? For some reason mine started doing that.
Hi Tracy... I'm sorry I haven't seen that problem
How good is it in cutting blackberries and nettels?
To be truthful I'm not sure.. but I would say it does about the same as a gas trimmer...great power
Mines been nothing but a pain in the ass! Line feed didn’t work. Finally managed to get it reloaded then it died altogether. Had to get it repaired and now it won’t stay running. It runs for three or four seconds and stops. NOT been happy with my EGO trimmer at all!
I'm sorry to hear you had that experience
I agree with you. It was the most expensive piece of junk I ever bought. No matter how I loaded the string it would run well for about 15 minuets and then tangle up.
I just got one three days ago. It’s a big load, heavy, and the line is too short. Not impressed and I regret buying it. Hopefully Lowe’s will take it back.
It works great until the power feed stops working. I have 2 of them and the power feed failed on both. As far as I know, once that happens there is no way to load string. If it wasnt for that design flaw it would be a awesome trimmer.
And I might add customer service on the warranty is worthless
My ego power head is a pain in the @ss, it does not want to thread through easy at all. I usually fight it for several minutes. So far not overly impressed with the power head. Auto feed is ok but not a game changer as compared to a bump heads like you’ve got. I use Husqvarna .95 titanium string.
The string might be why it isn't working. Not sure it's recommended with .95 and some string is stiff.
@@jasonl5523 I wish it was that simple but the ego trim er is supplied from the mfg with .95 line so that is the correct size. The Husqvarna Titanium is tough line so it’s possible a softer line might work better.
how is the battery?
The battery is pretty good.
