What happens here

Interview Jake, a landscaping professional who has been using the EGO battery-powered system exclusively for 8 weeks.

Discuss the comfort of wearing the backpack battery, the power output compared to gas, and the actual runtime he experiences in his daily work across multiple properties. Also, briefly examine the charger and battery units.

Goal: Gather user feedback on the EGO system's performance, comfort, and reliability.
