I just purchased a house in the city with a small yard that I'd like to take care of. A friend was getting rid of a corded lawn mower so I plan to use that for a little while, or at least until I accidentally cut the power cord. Just for reference, I cut the grass for the first time this past weekend and it took 10 minutes.
I do want to buy a cordless string trimmer in the near future. I would like for the string trimmer to share a battery with an available mower. I think I want to stick with the higher end/higher voltage models. So far I've found Lowes' Kobalt 80V models that share a design with the Greenworks models, Echo makes 56V tool ecosystem, and EGO. I don't mind spending a little more for quality and power. I'm currently leaning towards the EGO 56V models, the mower stores well, appears to be light weight with a plastic deck. The trimmer looks decent with a brushless motor, although I don't like the split shaft.
I haven't used a trimmer in a long time, but from what I've read, I want a straight shaft, good ergonomics in case I want to do some light edging. A thicker line is preferable for that (the EGO uses .095" line vs .080" for most of the others).
Any experiences with cordless OPE? Or any specor design features you'd reccommend I look for?
Thanks!
