Husqvarna 110iL FLXi String Trimmer vs Ego Power+ 16-Inch Line IQ String Trimmer

The Ego Power+ 16-Inch Line IQ is the stronger trimmer: brushless motor, carbon fiber shaft, 16-inch cut, POWERLOAD and LINE IQ auto-feed, IPX4 weather resistance and a 5-year tool warranty. The Husqvarna 110iL FLXi is the more versatile tool: it converts to an edger with a support wheel and takes blower, hedge trimmer and pole saw attachments on the same 40V battery. Owners praise the Ego's power and line system; the Husqvarna suits small yards and light edging, and its brushed motor and 11.8-inch cut are the trade-offs.

• Choose the Husqvarna 110iL FLXi if you want one battery platform that also runs a blower, hedge trimmer and pole saw, and you edge along beds and driveways.
• Choose the Ego Power+ 16-Inch Line IQ if trimming and edging are the main job and you want a brushless motor, a wider cut and a long tool warranty.
