$99 on each item. I don't see the base unit to attach the power head with online yet. Hopefully we will see the bundle price soon.

On one hand everyone is screaming for confirmation that something will be released, then on the other hand its been confirmed and it isnt to market fast enough. Too much me, me, me. I want a bigger mower, actually I NEED ONE. If ego released one, or said they were going to. Id give them more than a year to create it. In this case its a smaller item to design. So less time generally.
Keep in mind, they are a company, companies like to make money, products make money, missing sales is bad.
Wouldnt you think that they maybe they are doing everything that they can..
I doubt amber laughs much at work considering she has to deal with this community all the time.

1. Return it all unopen
2. Just pick up a battery ($$$)
3. Triple down and get the hedge clipper WITH battery.
Also what is the optimal size/weight for the week hacker and blower (CFM575)?
Thanks for any comments. Kinda nervous after really a.bad Ryobi experience. If this doesn't work out I will be a life long Echo/Sthil.

I can't wait to get rid of my old Ryobi and Black and Decker battery products for lawn care and simply down to all Ego products.
Recommend two batteries with at least one rapid charger so when one battery runs out, you can charge it while you work with the other one.

If you only have a small property you could get away with a 2.5Ah battery, which comes with a number of tool kits.
Batteries are expensive on their own, much cheaper in a kit.

Or at least post what you have in the pipeline.
Also thought is build the brands loyalty by allowing User Input as Beta Testers.
Bring us on to the family an take our input and prioritize the next tools.
We users are anxious to have an ALL Green Garage. Just a quick list I would want ...
Shop Light/Flashlights, Shop Vac, Air Pump, Reciprocating Saws, Sanders, Grinders, Tool sharpener, Buffer, power sprayer, AC Plug in adapter.
I would love to be a Beta Tester for Ego.

If you search you'll find many of the tools you're suggesting have been requested for a while. That's one of the nice things about this forum; it's a direct line to Ego so they hear your thoughts loud and clear.
Our suggestions have resulted in a lot of input towards the tools that have been released over the past year or so.

If we go by the 7% per year improvement I've heard quoted many times, in ten years battery performance/cost will be twice what it is today. That means today's Milwaukee 18V 9Ah HD battery could be an 18Ah battery ten years from now. That's a 324 Wh battery, not too far off what today's Ego 7.5 Ah battery offers.
Right now the larger format systems like Ego are the way to go for OPE, but that could change in the not too distant future.
As you say, the Engineering resources need to be focused where they're best spent, but as time goes on and there are fewer holes in their lineup I think they'd be wise to grow their tool lineup as much as possible while maintaining their stellar reputation for quality. The more tools and gizmos people can power with their Ego batteries the more dependent they will become on the ecosystem and the less likely they are to abandon it.

Somehow I don't see that being a power head attachment though...

i read somewhere that the powerhead plus is going to be sold as a kit, can i ask if there will be a kit that includes all three attachments as well as the powerhead? as a new ego user (21"sp mower) i dont need any of the items, but i would be quite happy to change out at a good price point, maybe $500 for the complete kit, maybe $600-$650 if it included the 7.5 battery. not a lot of room for profit, but it seems that a kit like that would be a great way to entice people to get on board with ego products. by the way, my next item is the 16" chainsaw w/5 ah battery, and then the backpack blower w/7.5ah battery. after using the mower just three times now, i can say that i am a convert, and i am giving all of my gas ope to my daughter for her new house
