PH1420 56-Volt Lithium-ion Power Head for EGO 56-Volt Lithium-ion Multi Head System, Black

Product worked as advertised, well constructed and easy to handle. Battery life is solid I was able to mow, edge and cut weeds with only one additional charge.

Tired of pouring gasoline all over the floor, constantly cranking on a starter cord, clogged fuel line, insane small engine repairs, replacing expensive equipment like three snowblowers? Here is your first step to tool sanity. The EGO Power+ PH1400 Power Head is a strong, reliable core unit for the EGO Multi‑Head System, and it consistently earns high user ratings for power, ease of use, and durability. The 56‑volt brushless motor delivers performance comparable to gas tools but without fumes, noise, or maintenance hassles. It’s compatible with a wide range of EGO attachments—edger, pole saw, trimmer, cultivator—making it a versatile choice for homeowners who want one power base for multiple yard tasks. The build quality is excellent, and the ergonomics make it comfortable to operate for extended periods. Users especially appreciate the smooth throttle response and the ability to swap attachments quickly. The only limitation is that this model is sold without a battery or charger, so buyers need to already own EGO batteries or purchase them separately. Overall, the PH1400 is a high‑performance, dependable power head that anchors one of the best modular yard‑tool systems on the market.

I've bought multiple products from EGO Power+ and all of them have been excellent. The power head continues that trend. I bought it because I needed to do some hedge trimming and some brush cutting. The head is nicely shaped and nicely balanced and comes with a handle and a shoulder strap--that's a good touch that wasn't always included in other tools. The shaft is carbon fiber, makes it strong and light. It didn't come with a battery or charger. That suited me because I already have 3 chargers and 4 batteries from other EGO tools and they work well with this head, so it was nice to not pay extra for something I didn't need. I got an extension, a hedge trimmer, and a bush cutter to use with this head. They were all very simple to snap on, had a good fit, and were easy to take off and change to other tools as needed. The motor has plenty of power and, as mentioned above, works with all my EGO batteries. I've been able to use it to trim several trees and shrubs both with and without the extension pole and I've used it to clear some fairly solid brush. All of that was done with the motor on low speed and it went through everything (including saplings a bit over an inch in diameter) with no problems whatsoever. There are several other attachments I'm looking forward to buying to use with this head. Very happy with this purchase and strongly recommend it.

Works great with the weed whacker, snow shovel, edger and hedge trimmers.

First, and most important: Pay close attention to the item you are purchasing. I first purchased a PS1000-FC POLE SAW (PS) with a Telescoping Power Head. Absolutely love it. Not just for limbing trees, but cutting Multi-Flora rose, and Russian Olive (if you are tending acreage). The Pole Saw is a "Stand Alone" tool, which I discovered after I purchased a 'String Trimmer Attachment' (STA) that I thought would connect to the Telescoping Power Head (PH). It did not. (Hence: Stand Alone Tool.) This review is of the newly purchased PH1420FC Power Head, in combination with the STA1600-FC String Trimmer. The (FC) stands for Carbon Fiber Shaft. Worth the up-charge in my opinion. This combination is awesome! To be honest, I can not compare this set-up to any other Battery operated tool on the market, because it's the first Battery Op. I've owned. And I can't guarantee it will last as long as my Gas powered STIHL FS80 which has been tearing up landscapes for over 12years, but, it's quiet, no fumes and cuts great. "Know what you're purchasing." All the eGO tools seem to come with a 56-Volt battery. No aye problemo. BUT, they come in different Amp Hours (AH). I purchased a package deal with a Battery, Charger, and String trimmer STA1500 (which I returned for the 1600FC). This battery was 2.5 AH (Amp Hour), which on the above mentioned assembly weed wacked (on high speed) for only about 10 minutes before the battery was spent. I am now switching to the 5 AH battery, which I will try on Low speed, and hope it has a better duration. Raining where I am right now, so I'll update when I see how that goes. When I had the 5 AH battery on the Pole Saw, it cut for over 45 minutes of tough brush without complaint. "Update: 22May2025" I have run the (STA) several times now with both the 2.5AH and the 5AH batteries. Duration is not good. Not getting more than 15 mins of cutting time, even at the slow speed. The 5AH makes the tool a lot heavier, and I am finding the need to constantly adjust the shoulder strap and the location of the handle strap to take the pressure off the trigger arm. I am 6'-4". It does a great job cutting, and to be fair, I am cutting over 1500 feet of fence line, as well as other areas around the house and farm. It may be, if you live in a development, and maintaining only an 1/8th or a half acre you would not have these issues.

Heavy duty item that feels like it is built to last. Plenty of power.

We teamed it with the brush cutter attachment. Works as advertised

This is a Very Good Item, Well Built and not very heavy by itself, However, Once you add a Larger Battery and use it for a while it can feel heavy, But it is a Great Electric Unit, I would suggest adding a EGO Shoulder Belt to relieve the weight for extended periods of use.

Super

Love this to remove snow from our decks. Easy to use.

Excellent produit, j 'adore

design is good but for seniors who handles this with the attachments, including the battery which carries quite a load, its very heavy to work for a long period. battery plus the whole attachments must reduce substantial weight for seniors. otherwise, its not ment for seniors.

The EGO power head isn't built to handle the weight of the broom/sweeper attachment. The coupler hex nut maxes out without fully tightening, leaving the power head with significant flex. Eventually it breaks under the load. I contacted EGO customer support on February 13, 2026 about the flex. The only advice was to tighten the coupler — which I had already done. No diagnostic, no parts, no follow-up. When the unit finally broke, I filed a warranty claim on March 12, 2026 and heard nothing. I followed up on May 5, 2026 and was told the unit had to go to a service centre for diagnosis — but there isn't one anywhere close to me. After 30 minutes on the phone, they agreed to send a replacement and said I'd hear back within three business days. I've called back since and the answer is always "three business days." EGO makes some nice products, but customer service is where they fall short. The better choice for the sweeper attachment is the Milwaukee M18 Quik-lok power head — it handles the weight properly. The sweeper itself is a great tool; it clears snow up to four inches deep cleanly. The problem is just that the EGO head can't carry it. If you've already invested in EGO batteries (as I have), you'll be looking at battery adapters to run Milwaukee. A quick YouTube search will show the Milwaukee power head running EGO attachments. Worth it. Bottom line: love the sweeper, the EGO power head isn't up to it. Buy the Milwaukee.
