I have an Ego String trimmer and blower. The string trimmer uses full size .095 diameter string. My lawn is four acres of grass that I mow and have about 50 trees in the lawn and a few hundred at the edges. The 2.5AH battery can in no way do the whole yard but a Villages size yard would be complete with one charge. I wanted to buy a second battery but Home Depot had a 2.5AH battery for $120. They had a pile of the older style leaf blowers with a 2.0Ah battery and quick charger with fan cooling for only $90 so I bought that. The battery died after one year (it was sitting on HD shelf for over a year uncharged) but EGO sent me a new 2.5Ah battery for free just be sending them the serial number and date code (the batteries have a three year warranty). I love the blower for the driveway and deck but it sucks down the battery fast at the highest speed but for a small yard it would be fine. I haven't used the two gas trimmers since I got the EGO but I still use my gas blower when I need a long run time.
