I upgraded my line to the Spiral Line (5-Pack) (red string .95) from Ryobi and holy moly it makes a big difference. I've used the same line now... for a few months and have cut heavy vines without an issue. Highly recommend if you're looking for a low maintenance string trimmer.

I have had this for 2yrs. It rocks! I have a quarter of an acre yard. I have the replacement 6ah battery never has ran out of juice in one use. 👍

Thanks for this. I picked this model up on the weekend, its still in the trunk. Toronto, Canada

On my second year with the same trimmer. Love it. The stick edger attachment is awesome, especially once you put a decent blade on.

Love it so much I bought another one. And there are tons of other Ryobi tools that use the same battery

[bradyevans]

I have the same one....LOVE IT!!! I got sick and tired of pulling gas powered weed eaters and switched best decision I have ever made.

I use the 18V 4 amp and it does a great job for my yard. I worked for a lawn service when I was younger and they had all the gas power equipment. I don’t miss the gas power at all.

I've had mine for about five years now and it is still going strong. I have the edger, trimmer, blower and even the chain saw head (with extension). It's great to just be able to pick it up, put on the attachment you need and just pull the trigger instead of having to go through 6 or more steps to start the thing. And it has plenty of power. I've never had a task it couldn't complete. A tip is to try to find these online refurbished or remanufactured. They are way cheaper and usually still have the same warranty.

Just got mine for Father's day, and I love it. I wonder if the echo speed feed heads would fit on it.

If I’m not mistaken, tht ringing at 1:51 was actually normal. It’s the brushed motor turning on. All my brushed stuff does it.

dude, im sittin here with a spliff tryin to decide if this is my next trimmer and I laughed so hard @4:24, it made me subscribe.

[scottnolan]

Thank you, Grass Daddy, for this review. Just bought mine online and now can't wait to use it.

New subscriber here. I am a long time Ryobi owner. I have both the 40v trimmer and 21” push mower. My string trimmer auto advances (no bump feed). I need to replace the string trimmer and since I have a whole lot of Ryobi tools and am invested in the Ryobi batteries and chargers, I am looking to replace my old Ryobi trimmer with a new one. I like that there are 2 lines on the one you tested. My string trimmer only has one line. Also it chewed up batteries, so I would go through a 4ah just trimming in one setting. As an aside, I keep a 9ah on my trimmer and it lasts a good while now. I can’t fit the 9ah in the push mower - doh! I do use the Ryobi mowers for trimming my Texas country lawn and a 54” zero turn Bad Boy mower for the bulk of the mowing. So all that to saw, thanks for your video. All the best!

I've got the Ryobi string trimmer and edger, , turbo blower, and hedge trimmer and love them. I bought a 2nd battery. Only problem I have is in the Fall when leaves fall and I run out of juice. Good review

[yourmom]

"It squeaks when u bang it" oh my gosh that was a good one I love the office

[tubeshawn]

I bought one exactly like that for my launching small lawn business. I like it very much. It does beep, beep? I m profoundly deaf 🧏🏿‍♂️. Perfect 👌 for me. lol.

[darre-wo]

Good review, I return my and I changed for the ego.
Little more money but it's worth it. I really enjoy your videos. Gracias

[debramartin]

Just bought the trimmer blower combo kit 450 at home depot. I tried out the trimmer and wow it's powerful enough for what I need.

[graceortiz]

Ryobi is the trimmer I use. I have the 40v that the head pivots and can be used as an edger with a wheel attached. I'm small and don't have much upper body strength to do the edging holding the edger upright. Mine does have the little squeak like that one when you start it. Thank for this review.
