EGO Power+ ST1511T String Trimmer vs Ego Power+ Multi-Head Trimmer & Edger Combo

Both are 56V EGO string trimmers with 15-inch swaths, brushless motors and PowerLoad heads, so cutting performance is close. The ST1511T is the simpler single-purpose trimmer with a telescopic aluminum shaft and a lighter kit battery. The Multi-Head combo adds a quick-change power head that accepts EGO edger, blower and other attachments, plus a larger 5.0Ah battery and IPX4 rating. Owners of the ST1511T praise the easy line loading and cutting power but call it heavy for long sessions. Buy the combo if you want one power unit for trimming and edging; buy the ST1511T if you only trim and want the simpler tool.

• Choose the EGO Power+ ST1511T if you only need a string trimmer and want the telescopic shaft for adjustable reach.
• Choose the EGO Multi-Head combo if you also edge or want to add EGO attachments to one power unit.
