I don't know if OP has a postage stamp lot, or an estate, but for many of us electric weedeaters/mowers simply do not have enough power to do our yards. They have their place, but stop pushing them like they are the solution to everyone's problems.

Pretty much where I stand. I have a pretty sizable yard with a lot of growth I need to clear out. I can’t play around with an electric weed eater that can’t handle at least some moderate work.

Not sure either of you have experience with modern 56 or 60 volt trimmers. I use Ego's smallest pack and one charge trims 2 lots totaling 1.3 acres with juice to spare. I trim around two houses and fully fenced yards as well as around 7 big oaks, 2 magnolias, and a few dozen smaller trees. I'm not cutting through a rainforest but I do take out saplings and edge ruts along concrete. It has as much power as the Husqvarna it replaced.

Don't judge based on some little 20 volt toy. That's like a riding mower with a weed eater motor.

I routinely weedeat, trim around a 5 acre place. Me EGO trimmer and edger last just fine.

Also, I second the poster who commented about his EGO chain saw. Use mine when needed. No fuss, no muss. It just works.
