8/1/2023 0 Comments Kobalt vs ego trimmer![]() And finally the mower, so light and easy to push glad my wife (fathers day) didn’t waste the extra hundred bucks for self-propelled. I do have 2 minor complaints with this one, you have to push it through the snow where a gas one pulls itself, and it gets stuck on every tiny imperfection in the pavement. So then came the snowblower since my Craftsman gas one was 20 years old and badly needs a tuneup. I have to say the carbon fiber 1 piece trimmer is way better than the 2 piece non-carbon fiber. Then came the edger because I no longer had the Edge Hog, but it is the 2 piece so I also bought the string trimmer head and then took the old trimmer to my mom’s (all my dads old tools are gas and the vibrations make my arms numb). Next I bought the string trimmer (carbon fiber shaft!) to replace my corded Edge Hog (Black & Decker?) which had caught fire trimming some tall grass a couples years earlier. The first EGO I bought was the blower to replace my corded Toro blower/vacuum and that thing is awesome. If “exclusive” means there won’t be anyplace online and ACE stores will stop carrying them, I need to hurry up and buy more batteries! When the first local Home Depot opened my wife feared I would move into it, although in recent years I have had some gripes (limited EGO selection) they are still 100 times better than going to Lowe’s. It’s great stuff, but I got mine because I got the mower for a song originally (when they discontinued the first gen, which then was replaced under warranty with the 2nd gen) and I’ve been super happy with it (especially the chainsaw), but if it were similar money I’d probably go EGO. The EGO blower is way more comfortable and more powerful than the Kobalt (there is a better blower and a backpack blower that I’ve not tried).Īll in all, it seems like EGO is the high end luxury homeowner brand while Kobalt/Greenworks is sort of in this weird budget prosumer battery OPE niche. ![]() The Kobalt is fine, but pretty bare bones. The carbon fiber shafted EGO is a beautiful thing to use. String trimmer and blower I’d go EGO all day. I’ve felled trees with my Kobalt, but I wouldn’t want to do much more than trim with the EGo (although it’s lighter and better balanced). Build quality is also nicer on the Kobalt IMO.Ĩ0v chainsaw blows the EGO out of the water, especially if you switch to a full chisel chain (not sure if that’s an option on the EGO). His mower is a bit quieter, but I get way more cut per battery. My neighbor has the EGO stuff, I have 80v Kobalt. News reports over the past few months have described Lowe’s as “closing the gap” with Home Depot, and moves like this will no doubt give them a competitive boost. It will be interesting to see how things progress. ![]() Lowe’s lawn & garden and outdoor power equipment brand portfolio will now include Honda, Ariens, John Deere, Craftsman, Husqvarna, EGO, and Skil.
