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

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.

This Ryobi cordless trimmer is a wonderful companion to my Ryobi lawnmower and I do not regret choosing this product. The battery charges quickly and is interchangeable with a variety of other Ryobi products. The trimmer is extremely powerful and very light weight, even with the battery attached which is very appealing to this senior citizen! I must add that not having to fuss with a cord is also a huge bonus in my opinion.

This is a pretty convenient trimmer for your average home use. There is a little assembly required. You have to push the 2 ends of the pole together to lock them together and you have to screw on the bottom guard. It took about 60 seconds. It comes with the charger and 18-volt One+ battery, which is compatible with other Ryobi products. The trimmer is very light, even with the battery. Its comfortable to hold and use. The handle has a safety such that your hand must be gripping the handle and depressing it when you pull the start trigger. The handle can also be spun around such that the trimmer points down for edging. Its plenty powerful for trimming regular grass, but I doubt it would hold up to heavier brush. The trimmer line is auto-feeding so you don't have to slam the head down to advance it. How it works: While the trimmer is running, release the trigger, wait 2 seconds, and press the trigger again. This will extend the line 1/4 inch. You can also extend it manually by pushing a button on the string head and pulling on the line. The spool is replaceable, or you can just add new string to the spool. The only feature lacking on this is that the handle length is not adjustable at all. For people taller than 6 feet, this may mean more leaning over when using. But given how light it is, its shouldn't strain the back.

This is a light weight trimmer great for small jobs. It is small and easy to use and since it's grab and go, I can quickly trim and edge my yard each week when I mow with little extra effort. I've seen lots of people holding their string trimmers at odd angles to use it as an edger. This one has a button on the handle that allows you to rotate the head so it can easily be used as an edger. It has a manual feed for the line in addition to the auto feed feature. I really like this for when the line binds up as they usually do on string trimmers. There are to tabs you push in on the string compartment to release the cover so you can get to the spool of line which is reloadable, you don't have to buy a new spool when this one runs out. If you have a big yard or require some significant use this is not the trimmer for you. The line is relatively thin .065 inch and it does where down quickly so I would get some spare line ahead of time

The RYOBI 18-VOLT ONE+ LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS STRING TRIMMER WITH 1.3 AH BATTERY AND CHARGER INCLUDED Is a very good deal on a trimmer package. I am 100% switched over to lithium batteries for all my lawn tools and power tools. I only have a very small yard out back to care for, so 1.3 ah is plenty of battery for me. Next, I will be looking to get a Ryobi pole saw to trim my locust tree.

The RYOBI 18-Volt ONE+ Lithium-Ion Cordless String Trimmer with 1.3 Ah Battery and Charger Included Model # P20103 is a nice addition to my growing collection of Ryobi outdoor power tools. Battery power is the way to go. No more 2 cycle tools for me. Selecting this product was an easy choice. I have an older version (Model P2006A) that has proven to be a great product. This trimmer has an automatic-feed string head with a 10 in. cut width controlled by the tools trigger. Just like its predecessor the shaft rotates 90 degrees and converts to an edger. This product comes with one pre-wrapped spool of .065 (Blue String). The spool is reusable. I found it advantageous to purchase a few extra spools, and a package of .065 trimmer line. RYOBI supports this product with a 3-year limited warranty and a 90-day no-risk satisfaction guarantee.

The Ryobi 18 volt trimmer is a quality built item. It has a button on the shaft that allows you to twist it 180 degrees allowing easier use as an edger. The 18 bolt battery has a good life span and I was able to trim my whole fence line and around the house, and I have a large back yard. The trimmer is light weight so it doesn't wear you out while using it. I'm 6 feet tall so it's a little short for me, but it works great for her 5'4" height when she helps out. I have other Ryobi products that are several years old and still work like new. I do recommend this trimmer.

This Ryobi 18-Volt ONE+ cordless trimmer is a nice product for small to medium size yards. It's lightweight and can be used as a trimmer and/or edger. It has good power and does a nice job trimming the grass. It is turned into an edger by simply holding a button on the side of the handle and turning the pole that's attached to the trimmer. No need to bump the trimmer to have the line extend. It extends automatically when releasing the trigger and powering off. My only disappointment with the trimmer is it comes with only a 1.5 AH battery with no remaining battery life indicator. My other Ryobi tools come with a 3 of 4 AH battery.

This is one of many Ryobi tools using their 18 volt ONE+ system of their cordless tools which is exclusive to the Home Depot. This is their 10 inch string trimmer/edger that is light weight and very easy to use. Carries Ryobi's three year limited warranty and also has a 90 day no risk guarantee which is one of the best warranties on the cordless tool industry. The advancing of the string trimmer line system eliminates the bump and go system and is implied in the operators manual, bumping of the head to advance line will damage the trimmer and void the three year warranty. The proper way to advance the trimmer line is to (1) while running release the trigger switch (2) wait two seconds and press the trigger switch. The line will extend approximately 1/4" with each stop and go until the line is extended to the length of the grass deflector cut-off blade. To extend battery life here a few dos and don'ts concerning the batteries. Store batteries to 100% charged after use, do not leave batteries on tools when storing and do not leave the batteries in the charger unless unplug from the wall receptacle. By following these 3 dos and don'ts this will increase the battery life tremendously.

I'm not going to tell you this is as powerful as some of its higher voltage and bigger cousins, but if you need a light duty trimmer, this is GREAT for you! First, it's made by a great company that you can rely on, RYOBI. Second it is without a doubt the lightest string trimmer I've ever used! If not wearing your arms out is important to you, this will more them fill your needs. Now some oddities. The string seems to auto feed, not bump feed. It uses .065 fairly thin string, so you might want to get a roll or two with the trimmer. It spools in only one direction, so that's pretty easy to restring when needed... but also another factor that makes it lighter duty. I love how easy it is to spin the shaft and set it up for light duty edging too! Still, I would have given it 5 stars if the little pin that holds the top and bottom parts of the shaft together had not failed on the first use. It's a little spring pin and was easy to fix with a small screw and some tape, but I would have expected it not to fail like that. As far as I know, I didn't do anything wrong to cause that... and it still works just fine... but one star got deducted. Your pin will NOT likely fail, so 5 stars should hold up as a lighter duty trimmer.

If you are looking for a light weight easy to use weed trimmer, this should be given serious consideration. Minor assembly is required, might take longer to open the box and get things lined up than the assembly time needed. Very light, easy to use. Hard to say more as it will do everything you want. While we still have snow on the ground I'm confident it'll work just fine. Comes with battery and charger..

Great light duty trimmer

Excellent light weight, small yard string trimmer.

Easy to assemble and use! Definitely recommend for small projects

I would say this string trimmer works better than most that I have tried.

More of a toy than a real trimmer. Spend a little more for better performance.

Good buy. Does its job. The battery and charges is already worth it.

Not worth the money. Spend some more and get a better product

Light weight and easy to use while doing a excellent job.

Works fine thus far...cuts better and the spool works better than the former Toro junk I had prior to it but it is a month in so far so though it is a 5/5 thus far...

Doesn't do what it suppose to do. The battery is also not good. I had the battery on charging from last 2 days and is still not fully charged.

This one is a little weaker than my old electric corded trimmer. Additionally, it appears to have a sensitive overheat protection feature that shuts the unit down for 10 seconds or so every few minutes. Overall, it gets the yard work done and nice to not be stretching a cord all across the yard or dealing with gas/oil.

Good balance and light weight. Battery lasts a good time, best to have a second one if you have a lot to do at one time.

I used for about 15 minutes, and probably had the line break inside the spool 5 or 6 times. The line was supposed to be self feeding, but line was so fine it continued to break off inside the spool, so I would have to stop, open the spool and refeed it through the hole. After the one partial use on a typical lawn, I returned it to Home Depot. Due to dissatisfaction, I didn't even finish trimming my yard.

I am extremely disappointed in the performance of this trimmer, but feel the problem is my own fault rather than any specific problem with the machine. I have used a similar Ryobi trimmer for many problem-free years, so when that old one finally bit the dust I looked for the most similar one that I could find. When I got the new one I immediately noticed that it was much slower and weaker. I had not noticed that the original was 24 V and the new one was only 18 V. Huge difference. HUGE. I suspect that the new one will be adequate for the work I need to do, but I would certainly prefer to have ordered the more powerful one.

I love it. It is easy to handle and does a good job.
