What reviewers say about the EGO POWER+ ST1623T 16" LINE IQ with POWERLOAD

Only one whitelisted tester, Pro Tool Reviews, published a hands-on review of this exact model (design notes list Model: EGO ST1623T kit / ST1620T bare tool). PTR rated it 9.7/10, praising the automatic Line IQ feed that eliminates bump-feeding, the easiest PowerLoad line loading, excellent cutting power with low vibration, and a measured 1hr 4min runtime on high with a 4.0Ah battery, while flagging that fast line breakage around hard obstacles like fences can outpace the auto-feed with no manual override.

You don't realize how nice it is to not bump your way through the lawn until you're not bumping your way through the lawn.
The one downside to this system is that it's possible to break off line faster than it can feed.
