So is Globe Tools, the company that makes Greenworks, as well as TTI, who makes Ryobi, Ridgid, and Milwaukee's power tools? That doesn't mean any of them is owned by the CCP.

Tip when it comes to buying EGO from Lowe's: Buy the Lowe's warranty. It's relatively cheap ($29 for the trimmer I bought last year). Covers accidental damage. But the best part is it gives you 50% back for cosmetic parts (added straps, handles, etc) and 50% back for consumables, *including* batteries. The consumables and cosmetic parts portion will pay out up to $100 per year for each year of the extended warranty. So I immediately bought an additional 2.5ah battery for $149 and submitted a consumables claim and got reimbursed $75 on a Lowe's e-gift card the same day. Yes, the reimbursements are with Lowe's gift cards, but it still pays for itself with one claim. And I can do it every year if I want.

I love my Ego tools...I hate their batteries.

After year 2, they all start to degrade exponentially. Even if stored right - with correct temperatures/charge - they will begin to hold 1/2 a charge or less, making it a PITA the use.

I have 5 ego tools, 2x 2.5ah, and 2x 5.0ah. I love being electric. Super easy to start/stop. No fussing with gas/oil/spark plugs. But ultimately, you will be paying for battery replacements more frequently than you thought.

Does the price of these batteries offset the inconvenice of gas? That's for you to decide. I'm just not happy I'm going to have to fork over $500 for batteries when I'm not even on my 4th year with these tools. Ego should offer some kinda replacement program if these batteries become paperweights so quickly.
These are expensive to beging with and even the tools only items costing $200+ too. I have the same hesistant with buying the battery powered tools. I bought the 765 blower and had to return it due to battery would not last more than 30 minutes using the mid power settings. I am not sure how to justify ~$350 for blower.

Not sure I follow this. Can you give more details pls? After buying the additional battery, what did you submit the consumable claim for?
Any consumable that you buy, like the things listed in the info I quoted, you can file a claim for and you will get reimbursed for 50% of the cost of the consumable in the form of a Lowe's electronic gift card. Up to $100 a year in reimbursements. Since the extended warranty was only $29 for the trimmer I bought, and I knew I wanted to get an additional battery, it was a no-brainer to buy the warranty. I actually only bought the warranty because I knew I was going to get another battery shortly. So essentially what I netted was an additional battery for $45 or so off once you subtract the cost of the warranty. But I can do that every year for 7 years now if I want (EGO 5 years and Lowe's warranty extends it 2 more years).


Full disclosure: Any EGO stuff $200-300, the protection plan is $50, but I had a coupon that made my $219 trimmer under $200, so that's why my warranty was only $30.

Completely agree. The batteries are not very good at all. I have had four of my five batteries fail in under four years. Two within the first year and even one of the replacements failed within a few months.

Quote from Knightshade :
The warranty is 3 years on the batteries so "all" having problems after 2 would mean they're replacing all their batteries under warranty.... seems unlikely to be accurate given they haven't gone bankrupt yet.

He is accurate.

What are you guys doing to your batteries?!? Lol I have 5 batteries, 2 of them are pretty old and get used constantly, and one I even bought used and have had for several years after that, and have had zero issues with any of them, they get used in my blower, string trimmer, chain saw, power station (that's the only product I'm not a fan of). They do not get babied and still are in good health.

Maybe you're lucky? I had a half acre lot. Summers got into the high 90s with high humidity.
