What is the run time with the new brushless motor? The 12" ST1201 claims up to 45 min.
Will the ST1501 be available in Canada as a kit and/or a bare tool by spring 2015? Based on another post, the other bare tools are supposed to be available at that time.

The response from the Ego Support Team is that it runs for 15 min on the 2.0Ah battery.
? The ST1201 with ordinary brushed motor claims up to 45 min run time on the same battery. Is this 15 min estimated while clearing heavy brush? Some clarification would be nice!
I had the ST1201 for a few weeks in the fall but returned it since I also had the blower and mower kits (with batteries and chargers), so I will purchase a trimmer as a bare tool in the spring when they're available in Canada.
If the price gap between the two trimmers is not too large and the ST1501 has a brushless motor I will lean that way, but not if it only has 1/3 the run time of the standard model.

Will this be available without the kit?

15 min doesn't make much sense, hopefully Jennifer and her team can straighten this out soon.

Run time was around 20 minutes realistically. I was not able to get all the trimming and edging I wanted done on one battery charge. So its either use whats left of the mower battery, or get the higher capacity battery to use with the trimmer/blower. I was really hoping to use the blower and the trimmer in one outing on one battery. This was not a realistic expectation. I will say its more my fault, and not theirs. However with the 8 inches between the front of the mower, and the blade due to the handle. I was using the trimmer more than I wanted to.

I did end up with a lot of trimming to do because the mower couldnt get to it. My gas snapper mower can hit it just fine, but I have multiple 90 degree corners that the 8 inch front of the mower leaves un-touched. So I assume its my fault due to holding the trigger down, and trying to edge/trim with the same battery.
