Quick Answer
The Greenworks 60V trimmer is the lowest price at $189.95 and lists an adjustable 14 to 16 inch cutting width, a 4.0Ah battery included and up to 40 minutes of runtime. The EGO Power+ ST1511T ($219.00) lists a 15 inch width, a 2.5Ah battery, up to 45 minutes of runtime, and a 5 year tool warranty. The Toro Flex Force ($279.79) costs the most and lists up to 60 minutes of runtime, but the offer we checked is from a third party dealer, so check the seller and return terms before you buy.

A cordless string trimmer replaces a gas one without the pull cord, the fumes, or the fuel mixing. This comparison puts one battery-included trimmer kit each from EGO, Greenworks, and Toro side by side on price, cutting width, battery, and warranty.
How We Chose
We picked three well known outdoor power brands that sell string trimmers with a battery and charger included on Amazon. We left out bare tool models, since a tool without a battery is not a fair price comparison. The kits are not identical: the EGO and Toro each include a 2.5Ah battery, the Greenworks includes a 4.0Ah battery, and the cutting width is 15 inches on the EGO and an adjustable 14 to 16 inches on the Greenworks and the Toro. Each brand also uses its own battery platform, so the brand you pick decides which other tools you can add later. The EGO and Greenworks offers are available on Amazon. The Toro offer we checked is from a third party dealer, so check the seller and return terms on the listing. Runtime figures are the manufacturer or listing claims, not our measurements. EGO’s product page confirmed the ST1511T specs. Greenworks’ product page names the ST60L413 and supplied its specs. Toro’s product page for the 51836 kit supplied the Toro specs. Warranty terms come from the manufacturer’s own website where it names the model or product line, then from the Amazon listing, and we say so where neither gave a length. This is a researched comparison, not a hands-on test, so we make no claims about power or durability beyond what each listing says. Prices are Amazon prices checked in September 2026 and can change.

Check Price on Amazon →Our Take
If you want the lowest price and the biggest battery, the Greenworks is the value pick. If you want the longest warranty on the listing, the EGO is the pick. The Toro costs the most and is sold through a dealer, so it is the one to check most carefully before buying. We did not test any of them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a cordless string trimmer as powerful as a gas one?
Battery trimmers are commonly used for ordinary residential yards, and the listings here describe brushless or high-torque motors. None of the listings makes a direct power comparison to gas in the fields we checked, and heavy brush or very large lots are where many people still prefer gas.
Can I use a battery from one brand on another brand trimmer?
No. Each brand uses its own battery platform, so an EGO battery will not fit a Greenworks or Toro tool. Pick the brand whose other tools you might also want later.
How long will the battery last?
The EGO lists up to 45 minutes and the Toro up to 60 minutes and the Greenworks up to 40 minutes on a single charge. Real runtime depends on the grass, the speed setting, and the battery size.
What size trimmer line do these use?
The EGO, Greenworks, and Toro listings each say 0.095 inch line.
