EGO MHC1603 Multi-Head Combo Kit 16-Inch 56-Volt Carbon Fiber String Trimmer with POWERLOAD™ & 8-Inch Carbon Fiber Edger Attachment & 56-Volt Power Head, 4.0Ah Battery and 320W Charger Included

This does work great! It has plenty of power on low setting. High is great for overly thick stuff. Both heads swap out nicely. I've had this for a full season and a half now. I've had no issues.

Excellent string trimmer and edger combo from EGO. Having used the multi head system for the last year I have no complaints. Battery last plenty long for my purposes and with plenty of power to get the job done. I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to ditch a gas trimmer and invest in the EGO echo system. Buy with confidence.

We purchased the EGO multihead combo kit plus some other accessories last year. We have a large yard and do a lot of gardening and yardwork so it gets a lot of use. As a woman in my early 60's with some arthritis, I've found it easy to use and not too heavy. It seems to be very well made, and we've used every tool multiple times. The string trimmer especially has been easy to use, with less problems like excessive string breakage that my previous electric trimmer had, so I can get the job done quickly and without frustration. I am really looking forward to gardening and yardwork this year as the ECO has been making the heavy work so much easier.

If you want to go electric this is a good way to go. It's very heavy and if you're a slight person you may find this uncomfortable. It came with a strap which surprised me and am grateful for. Two things: it's very expensive but it is solid and all functions are first class. There are other similar trimmers but research always led me back to Ego. This particular combo never goes on sale. I watched and waited a year. Finally decided to go for it. Also...the 5.0ah battery only lasts approx 30 minutes. If you have a smaller area to edge/trim, that's fine. I have a large yard and walkway. It needs alot of attention. If you have an hour or more work to do you must have a back up battery if not 3. I recommend getting at least a 9.0ah battery. The charger is excellent and usually recharges in about 30 minutes, so using two batts in tandem works. Lastly it has a great warranty so register it and save your documentation. I dont have confidence in technology but with a solid warranty with a solid company I feel more comfortable with an extreme purchase. So if you have some extra cash and you want to enter the electric field I'm willing to recommend this combo. You can expect a quality experience.

I am very impressed with the edger. It works as well as my father’s Milwaukee brand edger. I myself am having trouble with the weed whacker I may be putting in the string wrong. I’ll work on that next summer to see what I’m doing wrong.
