9. I have an Ego self-propelled. It mows the lawn. The self-propel needs to be run at the lowest speed or it is difficult

to control. I have an Ego hedge trimmer and it is good. I have two Ego snow blowers. (Step daughter lives upstairs and I run one while she runs the other). Both are good.


I have Ryobi weed wackers and a Ryobi hedge trimmer with an extension pole. Both trimmers work well.

In summary -- the difference is in the batteries. Ryobi batteries are smaller. Therefore, easier to work with. On the other hand, when I am volunteering in the swamp, I bring my Ryobi wacker and Dennis brings his Ego. Ego's bigger battery lasts longer. One Ego battery outlasts one large and one small Ryobi battery. In the swamp trails, they all outlast me. I run out of energy before the batteries do.
