EGO Power+ MPS1001 10-inch Pole Saw & Power Head with 2.5Ah Battery & Charger Included

I like that it is a multi head tool (PH1400) with a large array of attachments. I purchased the multi tool with the hedge trimmer attachment. The trimmer lives up to it’s claim of cutting 1 inch growth, which is why I call it the Beast. If you don’t want it cut, don’t get it close. It is very maneuverable with dual blade rotation. The blade will rotate to a vertical cutting position or a horizontal position. The blade will also tilt on it’s axis allowing you to easily cut the top of a large shrub, or get behind a wall hugging shrub.If it has any drawbacks, it would be the weight and possibly the battery duration. The Hedge trimmer is definitely heavy. This is necessary in order to have long reach, as well as the ability to cut thick growth. This is not a judgement of the weight, just pointing it out. Because of the weight it performs as advertised.The battery life is adequate, and possibly excellent when changing to slow speed. I have an older Ego blower, which uses the same battery. It’s not that old in terms of hours used, and it’s charge duration has weakened significantly. I understand I can purchase batteries with a higher aH rating, but cost is a definite factor. It would be nice to see some type of battery trade in program for customer retention.In summary, I would definitely purchase again, and recommend to anyone. Neighbors have stopped and asked about when I was trimming the top of an ornamental which is 12 feet high. Granted I was on second rung of a small ladder, but that’s impressive.

***UPDATE***I used the string trimmer for the first time today….. wow it cuts better with more power than my toro gas trimmer. I would have NEVER believed that a battery powered device would work so good.After 3 days of using the edger and EGO leaf blower they seem to be not as heavy,,, hmmmmm good workout for this 68 year old Navy vet :)))I needed a new String trimmer because my gas powered one died after 13 years of use. It was Prime days so I found the EGO String trimmer and edger to be too good of a deal to pass up.Pros, I edged approximately 75 yards in length. It’s the first time I used an edger on my neighbors sidewalk and mine including my driveway.It cut like a hot knife going through warm butter. The battery did not even get to half charge yet.It’s really quiet as one would expect from a battery powered lawn tool.Excellent battery life.It’s great not having to mix fuel or coming into the house smelling of fuel fumes! I’m also not ruining my ears anymore than they already are. :))It’s really easy to change out the different attachments.For my yard work battery works long until the need recharging.Cons……Wow this EGO is heavy. Most of the reviews suggested to purchase the shoulder strap, I too would suggest that. Even using the edger with the guide wheel, it became apparent that I should have ordered the strap at the same time. I placed the order for strap before I used this powerful machine. It will be nice when it arrives.Being as it’s the first time I ever used an edger on my property I’m sure I’ll need a new blade soon. It was hit and miss on the sidewalk edging, but future edging will be easier to do!Everything said.I’m really happy with my purchaseToday my EGO leaf blower will arrive, that to has a battery and charger.

works great and light weight, great value for the money. battery last long enough for both front and back lawn

I have some hedges that are 9-10 feet high & my ladder days are long gone. I had a "Greenworks" dedicated extended pole hedge trimmer that broke in half while trimming some high hedges. After some arguing back & forth, Greenworks sent me a replacement - that also split in half after 5 uses. It's not worth ending up in the ER for stitches, so I disposed of it.Since I already have EGO Leaf Blower, String Trimmer & short Hedge Trimmer, and have been very happy with them, I purchased this extended "Power Head" set. It's rather pricey, but it is very durable & it came with another battery & charger (I now have 4).Assembly took 5 minutes. I immediately snapped in one of my batteries & tested it. It works perfectly & (unlike the Greenworks), there is no flex when cutting thicker hedges. The two switches that must be depressed are located exactly where they should be. The speed is variable & the run time is great. I had already used the battery previously in the leaf blower and small hedge trimmer & it had plenty of run time left. The batteries charge quickly.Today, I used the extended hedge trimmer on tall weeds in my back yard, which is 1/2 acre. I set the angle of the blades parallel to the ground as instructed in the manual. With a sweeping motion, it cuts a nice, wide path.The only negative side of this tool is its weight & lack of balance - especially when using it for overhead trimming. Of course, that may not be an issue with younger people. I'm 68 & I was really worn out after 30 minutes of use. But I'd rather have a heavier tool that won't break than a lighter tool that's dangerous to use.

I’ve only used it 3 times up to now but very good. It takes some getting used to in order to trim in tight spaces or to follow a tight line like along lawn edging. You’ll inadvertently take a bigger bite that you want. It’s a little heavier than you might expect which adds to the control challenges in tight spaces. It has a variable speed trigger which I suppose is good for some people but I’d prefer a set speed on the trimmer line.As for the edger, it’s great all around. Very straight forward and does a good job. It allows you to adjust how deep you want to cut and cuts an easy, clean line.

The EGO Power+ MPS1001 pole saw is a game-changer! Lightweight, powerful, and easy to assemble, it makes trimming branches a breeze. The 2.5Ah battery lasts long, and the tool balances well. Highly recommend for hassle-free yard work!
