Hazardous- don’t buy
I’ve had this weed wackier for only a year and the the head of where the motor is got so hot it melted the entire motor and the casing around it it. It could have started a fire in my backyard.

Battery caught fire.
I had the gas version of this expand it model and decided to buy the battery version seen here. I liked its weight, power, and ease of assembly and use. At only two weeks old and only several uses, the unit seized unexpectedly and the battery was smoking. 1 minute later it was on the ground spewing noxious fumes, smoking, and then caught fire. I googled it and see many articles of this happening elsewhere. Fortunately I had an empty metal trashcan to cover it & prevent a woods fire.

Best seller but no good product
String housing was hard to open but with W40 it became easier to open it. Less than 90 days and seldom used, the compartment housing broke and unable to open to add string. Home Depot's best seller but not a good product.

never buying ryobi again.
On the 3rd use, the whole head fell off when weed wacking around the opening of a storm drain that runs under my driveway, including the hardware that holds the plastic head to the shaft. All of these pieces flew into the drain and are now lost. I bought a replacement part and the threads on the bolt at the end of the shaft are stripped so it’s impossible for the nut to screw on. I now have to buy more parts or i have a useless weed wacker thats only been used for a total of 30 minutes. So frustrating - what absolute garbage quality from ryobi. This is my first and last ryobi product. Total waste of money.

The worst Ryobi product I've owned.
I consider myself an Ryobi fan boy. I own a Handyman Services Business and I use only Ryobi brand tools in my business. Matter of fact I am still using first generation of tools. I was excited to get the 40V and upgrade feom 18v. But after 30 minutes the battery died I have a 1/5 acre lot with a big house on it. Simple grass to cut simple weededing. However we still have ro finish with the 18v weedeater and the wife never uses the 40V as she said it's a waste of time with the battery going dead. We have the 4ah battery and the 18v 3ah out does this. Now today is bad. I get started weededing some grass to get my arm burnt as the unit has caught on fire. This is I haven't even got a year out of it I think. I bought it last year and now it's shot.

Real Deal - I am cord free now!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son recommended this. However, I had heard bad stuff about battery powered trimmer. For Ryobi, I decided to give it a try as my cord unit overheated and died. Wow! I was blown away. My experience was fantasic! No more tripping over cords or move cords like my old electric weed eater. It cut my time trimming my yard in half. Yes, in half. I went from an hour of trimming down to 30 minutes of trimming. I was worried about the battery running out but nope, it run like a champ and was still on half a charge when done. What impressed me is it ran just as good as a gas powered unit. The auto feed on this unit was absolutely amazing. No jams or string getting caught. It worked as advertised. I am now sold on Ryobi battery powered units. My next endeavor will be a battery powered vacuum for inside the house. Looking forward to being completely "cordless" free while working around the home!!!

Couldn’t be happier
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Incredible value, power and weight balance. Cut down weeds 3’ long that had been growing for 4+ months. I’ve used the higher end carbon shaft version and this base model and there’s very little difference overall.

Excellent Trimmer..!! Gets the Job Done..!!
Best part I liked about this is its super cutting power and attachement capability. I bought this and edger attachmet together and it gets job done. In a box you get multi head spindle, trimmer attachment, one 40V battery and one charger. This is great tool. One suggestion for faster assembly, while connecting trimmer to main shaft, rotate the trimmer shaft clockwise or anticlockiwse to lock in place. Pushig straight it does not go in. I hope this info is useful.

Almost perfecf
This is a great trimmer, lots of power and holds a charge for long time. However, reloading the spool leaves something to be desired. It comes apart in 3 pieces and keeping them all attached while reloading is a chore. The green cap that says load spool doesn't do its job. I have to fight with this trimmer every time I take it outside. Ryobi is great, but unfortunately this trimmer isn't of high quality, and not worth the price.
