This slows down the whole process a little. You never know when the line iq is going to throw out more line and this can cause little mess ups that have to be corrected. Seems like you have to try cutting into something harder to get more line if you are doing very precise light trimming. The line iq does not want to give more line unless it senses some tension.

I usually keep the line near full length with my bump feed gas trimmer and the Ego does not feed more line until it is somewhat short. It is super convenient and seems to work relatively well.
#Ego trimmer st1521s professional
The Ego seems to require a more work to get professional quality straight edges on flower beds and sidewalks because of the lower rpm. It is still not quite as precise as a gas Stihl, but it is pretty good. I tried Echo crossfire and the Ego works much better. It works fine in the Stihl gas trimmer, but the ego does not spin fast enough for the line to straighten. I was using Shakespeare ugly line and it does not straighten out (sort of like cheap fishing line). I was initially giving three stars because the line was wobbling and not cutting precise lines. I do not need it very much held in normal direction. I primarily need to use a string trimmer turned sideways for flower beds and the sidewalk. The battery seems to last plenty long for what I need it to do so far. I have slow down the pace a little with the Ego. I ran the ego around after doing the initial spring time cut and I just cannot go as fast as I can with the gas Stihl. I usually walk at brisk pace edging sidewalks and beds with the Stihl and can do maintenance cuts very quickly.
I am just using this ego for the house now, but I try to do professional quality lawn work at home. I have used stringtrimmers on a regular basis for over 25 years. I did work as a landscaper full time in the past and used stringtrimmers extensively as part of my job landscaping multi-million dollar residences. However, the c utting capabilities should be sufficient for home use. It just does not have quite the strength of a good gas powered trimmer. The ego has somewhat comparable power capabilities of my gas stihl (probably less than half but better than I expected on battery power). I was skeptical that this could replace my Stihl gas powered string trimmer.
