In short:EGO, the outdoor brand of China's Chervon group, runs its whole range on 56V ARC Lithium batteries. We review two line trimmers: the ST1300E (33 cm cut, 2.0 mm bump-feed line, 2.7 kg per EGO UK, usually sold bare) and the ST1400E (35 cm cut, 2.4 mm line, two speeds and the PowerLoad head that winds new line automatically, sold with a 2.5 Ah battery). Both are brushless and line-only: they cut long grass and edges, not brambles. Neither had a live Amazon.co.uk offer on 27 October 2026.

EGO is the cordless outdoor brand of Chervon, a Chinese power-tool manufacturer. It has no petrol range: every machine runs on one 56V ARC Lithium battery system, shared by its mowers, blowers, hedge trimmers and trimmers.

The EGO machines we review

The ST1300E is a 56V brushless line trimmer with a 33 cm cut, a bump-feed head and 2.0 mm line, weighing 2.7 kg according to EGO UK. The current ST1300E-S version adds two-speed control. It is commonly sold as a bare tool, so a 56V battery and charger are extra unless you already own EGO tools.

The ST1400E cuts 35 cm with 2.4 mm line and has two speeds and EGO’s PowerLoad head: press a button and the head winds new line onto the spool itself, which removes the most tedious job with any trimmer. The kit includes a 2.5 Ah battery, the CH2100E charger and a shoulder strap. Its Amazon.co.uk listing was unavailable when we checked in October 2026.

Both are line-only. They handle lawns, long edges and rough grass, but not brambles or woody stems. EGO also sells blade-equipped brush cutters and a multi-tool system, which we do not review yet.

What EGO does well

Power from a high-voltage battery, and one battery for the whole garden. If you plan to replace a petrol mower, blower and trimmer, a single 56V system covers all three.

Things to weigh

EGO batteries and chargers are expensive, and they fit only EGO garden tools, not a wider range of DIY tools. Check whether a battery is in the box before comparing prices.

Who should buy EGO

Homeowners leaving petrol behind for their whole garden, who want a strong cordless trimmer for long grass. For brambles, see our cordless brush cutter guide, which covers blade machines such as the Ryobi RBC36X26B.
