![]() We received a lot of emails about EGO since they can be on the pricey side. We get a ton of emails asking our opinion of various products. Time and time again I heard the same concerns from our readers. Even if the parts inside the tool are quality, are they tested for longevity? Are they tested on the lines before they go out to the consumers? Again, I had a lot of questions about the quality of parts and testing for longevity? Now over the last two years we have been talking about and showing you new EGO products and I found out one thing that was common among our readers. My third concern was what’s inside the tools? Yes, they look cool on the outside, but is the inside of the tool really quality? A user can’t see the inside, so it’s easy for a company to save money by having sub-par parts inside. So my question was what technology really goes into these batteries? Are the circuit boards good? Does it handle heat well? I had a bunch of questions and concerns about the batteries. For a battery to truly be good, it takes a ton of money and research to make a battery take the abuse of heat build-up, weather conditions and all the other factors. Yes, I understand it is harder than that, but I think you get the point. For me, anyone can develop a product and stick a battery in it and call it revolutionary. Was this a brand that would be around for two years and then just disappear like we have seen happen in the marketplace in the past? I mean what happens if we recommend a product to the crew, then EGO decides it’s not worth going forward and stopping these tools? Now everyone is stuck with tools for a company that is no longer around? My second concern was the battery technology. First, I understand that Chervon backs the EGO product, but I wasn’t sure how much their heart was into the brand. ![]() While I was hooked on EGO, I wasn’t completely sold on the system for three reasons. Long story short, I ended up giving away my gas powered mower, blower and string trimmer. I changed my mind as these three products lived up to their expectations. ![]() After using the lawnmower, blower and trimmer, he was right. So he sent over a lawnmower, blower and string trimmer and I had the summer to use it. So I figured while I may not like battery-powered OPE, there have to be some readers that would be interested in them. As for my second concern, he said he agreed about battery technology and OPE, but he just said give this lawnmower a try as he thought I would have a different outlook. At the time I had heard of Chervon, but it really didn’t mean anything to me as I never dealt with them. First, he noted that Ego Power Tools are backed by a company called Chervon, which is a global powerhouse company. Being the guy that Stephen is, he quickly wanted to point out why my concerns were outdated. While I love the ease of battery-powered tools, I just love the power of gas and it just can’t be beaten. ![]() First, I had never heard of Ego and second, I have tried battery powered OPE and it really doesn’t impress me. I told him I was a little skeptical for two reasons. I talked with their marketing guru, Stephen in great depth about their new line. Three years ago we were contacted by Ego to check out their new lawnmower. If you need to catch up on them, you can learn more about Ego at their website. What I am really excited about is their new introduction of a snowblower and backpack blower from last year. If you’re not familiar with EGO, they make a lot of quality Outdoor Power Equipment (OPE) like lawnmowers, string trimmers, blowers, chainsaws and more. ![]()
