I bought the wife a Kobalt- the bigger of the two, I can't remember if it is 40v or bigger. Anyway, the battery outlasts me and they have them on sale right now for $179- at least that is what my wife told me when she was in there yesterday.

IMO, the 56V versions are the way to go. I haven't used the Echo but I suspect it is comparable to the EGO I have. I liked the blower so much I bought another one. Then I bought the weed trimmer, then I bought the hedge trimmer. These things are great. I have an acre with trees both at the lake house and our city home. I've never run a battery down on either one on a single task. I have always been a Stihl trimmer guy and it still has its place for REALLY large and heavy applications but, I am done with the headache for simple yard work.

The biggest issue in have with battery powered lawn tools is that they rob you of the experience. Furiously pulling the starting rope with no sign of the **** thing kicking over, throwing it across the yard as you educate the neighbors on new and creative profanities, and then finally feeling the thrill of the adrenaline rush as that merciless piece of crap fires up and decides to run. I mean, without that, where’s the fun in yard work?

Bought a 60V Greenworks Pro weedeater after reading the reviews at Lowe’s. I’m totally impressed with it, I can almost do my whole acre (fence lines, ditches, around the pool and garden.
They don’t sell that specific battery at Lowe’s but you can order it at lowes.com.
I think I payed 179.00 for the weed eater, battery and charger.
I’ve yet to use it on high speed, low speed does the job.
I will probably order an extra battery and chainsaw soon.

I had the 40 volt Ryobi and the batteries are complete junk,tools are great but batteries don't last 6 months, so I bought the kobolt 40 from lowes and modified my Ryobi tools to fit it and also got the 40v chainsaw and that thing is great ,cut at least 30-40 limbs before bat goes out ,so handy!
