Piece of Junk Oct 17, 2009 I would not reecomend a Ryobi product to anyone after going through 2 of these in less than a month. The first one I received broke within 10 minutes of taking it out of the box and the second one broke after 3 uses. After looking at the other reviews Amazon should seriously consider removing this product from the market. If considering buying a weed trimmer definitely go with an echo or stihl, they cost more, but are much better products.
A bit heavy, but plenty of power Oct 01, 2009 There was a small problem in that the first unit to arrive was a mismatch. The box stated that it was the correct unit, but inside the box was an older line trimmer. The included instructions were for what should have been the correct unit, so they did not match up at all. I tried running the supplied unit, but it was difficult to start, and once running it would stop after about 10 minutes. One call to the supplier, CPO Ryobi, quickly cleared up the problem. Mine is a reconditioned unit (the reason for the fantastic price), and apparently the rebuild factory supplied some in the wrong boxes. A replacement was Fedexed to me along with a free return authorization for the old one. The replacement arrived two days later,and it works perfectly.
Pull the choke/throttle lock to the START position, seven presses of the primer, about three easy pulls on the cord, and away it goes. After about 10 seconds, tap the throttle, the choke snaps open and it drops to a smooth idle. At idle, the automatic clutch releases and the business end stops rotating. Touch the throttle, and away you go. It is easy to hit light grass with half throttle, and you can go through heavy stuff at full throttle. Even after a half hour of heavy use, it still drops back to a smooth, steady idle.
I've put a number of tanks of fuel through this unit now, and it still runs as good as when I got it. My only complaints ... with power comes some weight. It is a bit heavy, but it is easy to adjust the handle bar to get good balance without using the shoulder strap. It is loud enough to convince me to wear ear protection, even in hot weather. But then again, I don't like loud sounds. Finally, you get both a brush blade and a good string trimmer end. However, they are not separate snap-in attachments. You have to unbolt one from the business end and attach the other. Even with practice, this can take 15 minutes. The unit does take standard snap-in attachments, so I will keep an eye out for a bargain second lower end.
Summary ... make certain that the box contains what you ordered. As long as it does, you will be very pleased with what you get for the money. It is an inexpensive and well-reconditioned cutter/trimmer.
string trimmer Aug 22, 2009 This is the third of these that I've bought - I have one set up for string trimming, one with a carbide toothed brush cutting blade and one with a tiller attachment (which also works good) - and, just like the first one, this unit was a workhorse right out of the box! Check the basics, fill it with fuel, crank it up and go to work, no problems. Plenty of power and for the price of this unit, which is about a third of all my neighbor's " famous name brand" trimmers, I can wear one out and get another in a few days if need be. That hasn't happened yet, though, and I'm on my third season with the first one I bought!
Worst power tool ever! Aug 22, 2009 I've purchased the Toro all in 1 trimmer that died in a year and a half (same as the other all in 1 trimmers except bore), then I purchased this trimmer that also died in a year and a half but started it's downward spiral 4 months in (carbeurator issue that manufacturer doesn't warranty) and I've had to screw with it every other week because something new decides to stop working. Do youself a favor and get a real trimmer/blower/etc.. rather than this all in 1 garbage.
Worth the money,But Aug 14, 2009 Works very good but put a washer between the string tightner, Reason during use the plastic nut will fuse to the spool from heat and you will not be able to replace the cutter string, I had to cut the two pieces appart with a knife. the steel cutter blade is great cuts every thing.
