" ... Powerful and best battery weed eater I’ve ever used. ... "
" ... I am able to use both for my front and back yard on one charge. ... "
" ... Put a battery in and go. ... "
" ... This is a powerful trimmer, and the battery lasted a more than reasonable amount of time. ... The battery lasted for all the main areas and about 15 big trees. ... "
" ... Powerful, easy to handle, long lasting battery life. ... "

" ... Great battery powered trimmer. ... "
" ... It is handier than a gas operated trimmer. ... "
" ... Very good except getting the cutting string to feed out. ... "
" ... I'll never go back to a gas trimmer. ... "
" ... Trimmer was $126 without battery when I bought it. ... "
" ... It has no problem cutting through tall or thick grass, as well as thick weed stocks. ... - Not super light, easily as heavy as a gas trimmer ... "
" ... Both the trimmer and chainsaw work great. ... "
" ... The trimmer works great. ... Cut as good as my gas trimmer. ... Also was great that i could still use the edger attachment from my gas trimmer. ... "

" ... I absolutely rely on the strap that came with it to help support it. ... "
" ... The strap helps distribute the weight. ... "
" ... If you are a strong, big man or woman in good physical shape, that should not be an issue. ... "
" ... Feeling more confident I went to work. ... NO bump head I have ever used worked properly. ... My shoulder, arms, and hands, said THANK YOU very much! ... With the weight and no shoulder strap being the only downfall I was really impressed with what this thing could do and very happy that I had to buy no separate yard tool attachments as the Ryobi Expand-It attachments do fit perfectly. ... "
" ... The weight isn't bad but we have a large yard and after awhile my arms get tired but the included shoulder strap helps with that. ... "
" ... I strongly suggest using the shoulder strap if one has a medium to large yard. ... "
" ... A lot heavier than I expected but it comes with a shoulder strap and that makes it easier to use. ... "
" ... The shoulder/back strap was a huge help in me (51 yrs old and 5'5" tall) being able to maneuver it easily. ... It's heavier than my previous brand, but also more powerful/effective and the strap made a big difference. ... "

" ... Great trimmer, lasts forever and can use it on my yard after multiple mows without charging. ... "
" ... Great battery, holds a charge. ... "
" ... I have a small yard so I can get several edgings per charge. ... "
" ... It is as good as any gas operated and it will last a long time on one charge. ... "
" ... It's quite and charges fast. ... "
" ... Very happy with the product, battery charges quickly, I get an hour of usage (even with tough fescue grass here in the Midwest), I threw out the head that came with it and installed the head from my old gas powered one, as I prefer the pre-cut thick strings I can slip in real quick on the go. ... "

" ... The shroud is commercial grade as is the steel control arm. ... "
" ... Seems very solid, which translated to heavy. ... "

" ... Tried to reattach and it got cross threaded or threaded so tightly that it seized up and wouldn’t rotate. ... "
" ... They found one (Ryobi, I think) that seemed to fit but the threads were the same size a different pitch! ... "
" ... The manuals had bent pages and the entire box was in disarray. ... "
" ... The self-feed bump works reliably and doesn't seem to disgorge more than a few inches of string at a time, so each 10-12' fill will last for multiple charge session. ... My only complaint with this model is that tall weeds will wrap around the shaft and quickly unscrew the cartridge if you fail to decapitate them slowly from the top down. ... "
" ... Line won't feed. ... "
" ... However, you'll only get about 10 feet of line on the head. ... "
" ... If you turn it 90 degrees to edge vertically, holding it is extremely awkward and you can't see where you're cutting. ... "

" ... works well for my yard ... "
" ... This one seems industrial strength to me (I've been doing my own yard work for 30+ years), as strong as some gas versions I've had. ... "
" ... The house was built back when I was born and I think they cleared the lot to build the house, looked at the rest of the woods and said, "screw it" to themselves. ... "
" ... I only know how it works in my yard. ... I have 1/3 of an acre property, and it gets the job done, no problem. ... "
" ... I used it this morning to trim lots of fence post and around the house. ... "
" ... Would only buy if you have a small yard. ... "
" ... Used with the larger amp hour battery, finished around house. ... "
" ... I like the fact that it has a huge shroud on it which keeps grass from piling up my feet. ... "
