Just got it and put it together. I really like the short push in lines, they're easy to install and there is to bump knob to mess with. I'd much rather replace the lines often than have the frustration of trying to wind line and have it not advance after it's all together again. The head alone costs $25.00 at Home Depot so it's a steal on a $70.00 unit. I had a 30cc ryobi before and I do notice the reduced power in the 26cc unit. I'm sure it will still do the job but it won't annihilate grass like my old one did. They've moved the primer bulb to the top of the unit where it much easier to see and us. The unit started after 2 or 3 pulls and idles very well without a lot of vibration. I registered this unit on line and ryobi says I have a 2 year warranty. I don't know if the warranty will be useful but it indicates that they have faith in it.
I don't know how Amazon got the unit to me so fast. I ordered it one day and received it the next day - no kidding. It's like they were hanging out around the corner watching me struggle with my old ryobi trimmer.
Bottom line is- buy this unit, use the short lines and live happily ever after or until the warranty runs out whichever comes first. |

| Product arrived earlier then expected, easy assembly, added mixed gas and away we went. First time having a weed eater that had a curved shaft, but have found it is less strain on the back. |

This is an OK product. It was shipped with a broken idle adjustment lever, still usable but still broken.
The string for this product, I dont like. It comes in short pieces and you are constantly replacing them.
I will change this myself. I runs good, just minor things I dont like. |

Had this item for over 1 year. Works fine except the bump and go head. After a short while it won't release new string. Find the nut is locked (frozen in place). In the past I have successfully used two pipe wrenches to unlock it. Not this time. Took it to a shop and they replaced the nut/bolt assembly. Worked about 20 minutes and it is now frozen solid again.
If you get this make sure you have LOCAL support to handle warranty issues!
My last ryobi trimmer lasted 12 years. This one is less than satisfactory. |
