only briefly used the unit. I found it very powerful and fast. Various applications were viable. Yet I returned the unit because for me with a rather small yard I found it way more trimmer than needed and also found it was about double the weight of my former unit. Should work well for heavy duty trimming.

SIX (6) Major improvements over prior model include 1) Motor is now in the upper body. 2) Handle is now canted to an easier holding angle. 3) Battery Charger is now a Mini-charger. 4) Line-feed is now done by industry standard ground bump-thump. 5) Line is now metal wire filled. 6) Now dual-line whips, rather than single.

VERY POWERFUL, IT DOES THE JOB VERY WELL.

Only significant problem with the tool is the line advance feature which either advances the line too frequently, (every time you release trigger) and wastes a lot of line or it does not advance sufficientlyand you end up with it too short to be as effective as it could be. If this feature was fixed I would rate it as excellent.

This is the second trimmer I purchased. The first one started smoking and quit working me. I purchased five Ryobi tools plus extra batteries last summer. I would like to stick to one brand so the batteries are interchangeable. Hopefully I’ll have better luck with this second trimmer.

I liked the unit and the price, already had batteries and chargers so the option to get the unit only was nice.

Works as advertised! Did a quick job of cleaning up. We just use the battery that came with our mower from Ryobi, makes charging simple.

I was tired of messing gas and oil and cords. Thought I would give this a try..it is just fine for my smaller yard. Instant on, charge last a long time. Very satisfied

The trimmer is well balanced and easy to use. It changes to the edging position and back quite easily. The battery clicks easily and firmly in place, but is a little hard to remove – pinching the release button and pulling at the same time requires strong hands.

I bought this to replace, exactly, one I bought a couple years ago that developed a bad front motor bearing. I feel like I’m kind of “invested” in this model, since I have two batteries and a leaf blower. Powerful unit though, battery lasts and lasts…

Powerful and easy to use.

Love it! Lightweight and powerful with easy access to change from trimmer to edger. Tool was purchased for edging ability and is great. Hope this model is never discontinued.

Plenty of torque, and I used a 2 amp hour battery, used it for quite a long time cleaning weeds from a brick sidewalk. Good battery life. The string head auto feeds on every trigger start, no bumping it on the ground, so that took a bit to get used to. Nice to not smell like 2 cycle oil afterwards!

Bought this to replace my old one. Works awesome. The last one lasted over 8 years.

It is sturdy and lightweight. It has good power, but the single thin line prevents me from giving 5-stars. It is a little weak considering the power of the trimmer.
