ONE+ 18V 10 in. Cordless Battery String Trimmer with 1.5 Ah Battery and Charger

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Old Ryobi was a champ. Damaged in a move, still was great w/ baling wire fix. This new one is just as reliable and the new two speed feature a plus.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] i bought one back in 2013 and used it all the time. it just wore out. i loved it so much that i decided to replace it with a new one. the new one is a little better built in my opinion. it's light weight and easy for me to use. we have 2 houses that we take care of along with a pond and a picnic area. i am in love with not only the weed trimmer but i also bought the battery powered chainsaw. i use that at least once a week to trim up some brush around our pond area. i have used the chainsaw to trim up our fruit trees. if i can use it then anyone can use it. my 11 year old grandson has used the trimmer and he has also used the chainsaw with supervision.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Its lighter than I was expecting. It was charging super fast!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After perhaps an hour and a half of trimming, my line got caught under the cup that holds the spool. I have not been able to extricate it myself. Tomorrow I'll travel an hour to an authorized repair center to see if a) it can be untangled b) the trimmer will then work again and c) the damage will be covered under warranty. Our relationship is off to a rocky start. I will post further after my visit to the repair center.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this to replace another Ryobi trimmer. Love how well it works, and the simple assembly!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a Hybrid 18V lithium weed eater that recently stopped working. It is pretty old, at least 3 years, so I thought I would tear into it myself to see what went wrong. To my surprise the trimmer was not at fault. I was surprised to find the entire system is fairly simple. This of course leaving very little room for a failure in the electronics. Which incidentally work perfectly still now in pieces on my work bench. Another surprise was the sturdiness of the compact 20v motor. However, this is where the failure was found. A failure by force it seems. The bearing that holds the trimmer head was missing one ball. This appeared to have been caused by an overzealous person using the trimmer head as a weed beater instead of eater. In other words, the user bent the head by repeatedly beating it against various things. Things like the ground, tree trunks, rocks, or possibly the wife. Regardless, if the user had been more cautious with the product it could last more than the few years it did. The slight bearing wobble made the motor contacts dig into the armature. You can see that the armature was forced to an angle. The grooves are on opposite sides on the top and bottom. I do think this motor will work again. I am currently looking for a bearing replacement and plan to attempt to fix it myself. I have already purchased a new RYOBI Trimmer and love it. I also noticed the issue I had with this one was addressed in the new design!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Weighing in at an astonishing 4lbs! The easiest, lightest, trimmer I have ever used! Just plug the battery in and go!

Would have given 5 stars but this lil guy needs a battery Twice the power as what is used. Maybe they have one? Don't know but I Do know it Wipes a full battery to just No comparison to the chainsaw. I had a Makita weed eater many many years ago, didn't cost much and could Constantly run it for a whole hour. And again this I Think probably not Lithium, over a decade ago? Either way, to get anything significant done you need 2 batteries. Plus the front handle, while others commented, and rightly so being it is WAY to far up but it should be ADJUSTABLE anyway. While it is indeed a joke, no problem to just hold it on the stem where comfortable for you. The overall condition, body is well made. Just make a Much more powerful battery, adjustable handle it'd be perfect.
