A challenging trimmer to master
Would RecommendI purchased this trimmer in June 2026 after the head on my Craftsman 60v trimmer broke. Unfortunately there are no replacement parts available for this Craftsman product. After a great deal of research, I purchased this EGO trimmer as my new trimmer. I was intrigued by the auto feed (Line IQ) and the many positive reviews.

Ego weedwhacker
Finally wore out my cheap weedwhacker and needed a new one. Was impressed by what I read about Ego and decided to invest. Seems well built, easy to assemble and use. And even though this review process uses AI to prompt me on key words, I’ll reserve judgement about quality for later.

Heavy duty and heavy
I bought this trimmer about two weeks ago and used it for the first time works really well. Does a great job isn’t as loud doesn’t kick back as much debris on your legs, which is a huge bonus for me. My only downside is it is a very heavy piece of equipment so for a woman if you’re not a big gal, it’s gonna be difficult to hold for very long periods of time. Love it so far will review more as I use it more highly recommend.

Way too much torque
Would Not RecommendI bought this trimmer to trim my grass around curbs and walls. It grabs and trails off into the lawn and is impossible to control the cut. It would be a good trimmer for brush and tall grasses in a field, but not for keeping a lawn trimmed nicely. Loading new line is amazingly simple.
