Does not last three seasons
I purchased this item due to its attachment capability. I purchased several attachments . I used in a small yard only during summers. Third season worked well at beginning. Now it won’t start changing spark plug while always using non ethanol fuel and fuel stabilizer using fresh fuel always. Now I’m stuck with it because it’s past its three year warranty with all attachments and Home Depot will not even service it and recommend reaching out to riobi directly: prices have dramatically increased!

Ryobi weedeater
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been a Ryobi fan/user for years. I have the wed-eater, the edger attachment, and I recently purchased the hedge trimmer attachment. The equipment in my opinion is second to none. The equipment is tough, long lasting, and most importantly very durable, and affordable. I highly recommend Ryobi to all my family and friends.

Awesome Features!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing runs like a scalded dog! It actually fits my already existing attachments from another brand! HUGE plus! I bought it last week and trimmed the driveways, weedeated, and blew my and 2 neighbors yards with it. This thing works great! Couldn't be happier! Thanks!

Does not last
Worked one season for me without issues, second season, the unit became picky with the throttle, here we are on season 3 and the unit will continuously bogg down… I’m sitting here playing with a carb adjustment tool, it works, and then you go to restart it and your back at square one…. I’m team Ryobi green all day from drills to this, but I will be picking up something that will actually work…

Don’t bother!
Had two of these. The first one had the engine burning out in 2 years. The next one I bought had the shaft just split in half after less than two years. I guess it’s on me to have learned my lesson after the first piece of junk. I sure have learned it now

Only lasted 2 seasons. Weedwacker Shaft Cracked!
I have a small yard that’s less than 4000 ft.² I’d weed whack for approximately 15 minutes 6 to 8 times over the summer. This is only lasted me two summers, I just took it out to trim my yard for the first time and within the first 5minutes the shaft was bent and cracked. Reached out to warranty claims. They sent me to a garden shop that is backed up 3-5 months for repairs. The other locations are in NYC and require me to ship the item to them at my expense. Would not reccomend.
