What I liked

  • “I already tested this out in some pretty thick grass. And I was really impressed with the performance of this weed whacker.” 0:35
  • “Not only is it easy to operate, but it's also very lightweight as well.” 0:35
  • “All these batteries fit in all of their other products, which is great.” 1:06
  • “You can unscrew one bolt, and this thing will actually fold in half, which is great if you want to throw it into the back of a smaller car.” 1:38

What I didn't like

  • “This would be my one gripe for this weed whacker that it doesn't have a way to hang this up by the motor end.” 3:35
  • “I definitely wouldn't just buy this Ego weed whacker if you didn't have any other Ego products.” 2:20

Worth knowing

Why not the auto-wind model
“This is not the more expensive model that has the auto winding feature. I read some reviews on that and I wasn't that impressed with it and I didn't think it was worth the extra cost.” 1:38
