The best string trimmer worth buying

Our pick is the EGO Power+ string trimmer. Below: why, what actually matters when buying one, what to get for less, the step up, and whether today's price is a good one.

The string trimmer

EGO Power+ string trimmer

Runs on the mower's battery, so the second tool costs less than it looks. The POWERLOAD version winds new line at the press of a button, which ends the worst job in yard work.

Buy it for
Edges, fence lines, the bits the mower misses.
Skip it if
You are on another battery platform. Buy the trimmer from that one.

What actually matters when buying a string trimmer

  1. The same battery platform as your mower.
  2. A head that reloads line easily. Winding a spool by hand is the job everyone hates.
  3. Balance: a trimmer that hangs level is far less tiring over a long fence line.
