I've used the trimmer all summer around some pretty touch weeds and fences. The power compares to my gas trimmer. I never get super fatigued because the balance is pretty good on the trimmer. I've only had to replace the strings once and it was pretty easy when following the instructions.

I hate string trimmers. The gas ones die after 2 years, the string is a hassle, and they are loud and vibrate in your hands. Well this one is better designed, smooth, reliable, and lasts a long time on a charge.

This trimmer is quiet and powerful. Not at all what I was expecting. EGO has gone above and beyond with their products and have blown the competition away. I have used electric equipment before with poor results. The EGO Trimmer is fantastic.
