Milwaukee and love it! Wish I would’ve taken the plunge a long time ago. I get plenty of battery life out of mine. Now the blower will eat up the battery in 15 min or so. Depends on what size battery you’re using.

This is an important point. I went with Kobalt since I have a Lowe's close by and they have regular sales on tools with/without the batteries.

Bought the Kobalt 80V WE/BL combo a couple years ago and have been very satisfied so far. I live in a rural area, not a SD so I do a lot of "weed eating" with roundup (perimeter fence, shrubs, driveway, etc) and use the WE around the house, patio, landscaping etc. I do find the blower goes thru the battery about 2X faster than the WE but still satisfied with battery charge life.
When it goes out, I will be asking the same question.

If you have dewalt already i would stick w them. I help manage 10 acres of camps and our lawn guy uses dewalt. Its good, may need multiple batteries and 4 or 5 amphr size

Ego blower good, ego weed eater shite compared to a gas Echo. I have both and grab the Echo every time. Also have the Ego edger and also use the Echo trimmer instead. That and a bottle of tru fuel and never any problems. It's just way more powerful.

I have two Worx weed eaters. One is for my wife and the other one is for me. I wanted a new battery system that would work for my power tools as well as my garden/yard tools.

Besides the two weed eaters I have a chainsaw, blower, cordless drill, air station, flashlights and a vacuum. They all work off of the same batteries.

I have the Ego powerhead system and am generally happy with it. I had a battery go bad, which is an expensive replacement, but the other pieces have been really solid. I have the line trimmer, edger, and pole saw attachments
