The hedge trimmer and the cutting tools
If you have thick hedge branches to cut, the Ego Power+ 56V Hedge Trimmer has a 1.2-inch cutting capacity. [1] It can operate at up to 3,400 strokes per minute. [1]
For the lawn, the Ego Power+ 56-Volt Lawn Mower gives you up to 60 minutes of runtime on a single charge. [1] Its brushless motor can deliver up to 6.0 ft-lbs of cutting torque, and you can pick from seven cutting height settings. [1]
The Ego Power+ 56V String Trimmer uses auto-sensing technology to provide a 16-inch cutting swath. [1] The ED0810 Power+ 8 Edger has an adjustable cutting depth of up to 1.8 inches. [2]
Blower and misting fan for summer days
The Ego Power+ LB7654 Blower pushes 260 to 580 CFM in standard modes. [1] In Turbo mode it reaches a maximum airflow of 765 CFM. [1]
The Ego Power+ Portable Misting Fan has five speeds and a maximum airflow of 5,000 CFM. [1] It can run for up to 60 hours on a single charge, depending on the battery you use. [1]
A built-in pump lets the fan draw water from a bucket. [1] The Ego Power+ 18" Fan Cover is made of weather-resistant material and protects the fan from water and harmful UV radiation. [1]
Pressure washers and the surface cleaner
The Ego Power+ 3200-PSI Pressure Washer comes with five spray nozzles and a foam cannon. [1] It runs on two included 56-volt 6.0 Ah rechargeable batteries, and in testing it ran for more than an hour on a single charge. [1]
For washing cars, the Power+ HPW1200 High-Flow Automotive Pressure Washer is rated at 1200 PSI and is specifically designed for cars and vehicles. [2] It can deliver up to 2 gallons of water per minute. [2]
The Ego Power+ 15-Inch Pressure Washer Surface Cleaner (ASC1500) has a 15-inch cleaning swath. [2] It is not a standalone product and requires a compatible pressure washer to operate. [2]
For price context, Greenworks offers a 15-inch surface cleaner for $59.99. [2] RYOBI sells a wheeled version for $119. [2]
Batteries and charging
Ego was launched in 2014 and is Chervon-owned. [2] The company specializes in yard equipment, and its USP is the interchangeable 56V ARC Lithium battery system. [2]
The Ego Power+ 56V 5 Ah Battery has weather-resistant construction and an integrated fuel gauge. [1] The 56V Standard Charger has a fan-cooled charging system that helps prevent the batteries and charger from overheating. [1]
The new BA1680X (3 Ah) and BA3360X (6 Ah) are ARC Lithium MAX batteries compatible with Ego's existing 56V cordless power tools. [2] The tab-less method used in them results in lower electrical resistance. [2]
Coming soon from Ego
Ego lists several upcoming products, including a new vehicle pressure washer, a pressure washer surface cleaner, a walk-behind power head, and two new (3Ah and 6Ah) Power+ batteries. [2] The WPH1600 Multi-Head System Walk-Behind Power Head has a walk-behind design with wheels. [2]

What this means for you
If you already own Ego 56V tools, the new BA1680X and BA3360X batteries are compatible with them. [2] Their tab-less method results in lower electrical resistance. [2]
If you want the ASC1500 surface cleaner, you need a compatible pressure washer to run it. [2] Greenworks sells a 15-inch surface cleaner for $59.99 and RYOBI sells a wheeled version for $119, so you can compare those prices. [2]
