RYOBI Reconditioned ONE+ 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless String Trimmer/Edger – 4.0 Ah Battery and Charger Included

Bought late in the season for trimming around the church. So looks great and does the job.

Reviews for this reconditioned trimmer vary greatly, with some purchasers receiving a nearly new tool, others receiving used tools with obvious issues.The trimmer I received appeared to be brand new, with a trim shield that had never been attached, in its original package, along with complete owners manuals for the trimmer and charger.I charged it up, and it initially worked like a charm, but then the line wouldn’t auto feed. I replaced the existing line with fresh line, carefully wound on the spindle, and now it works perfectly.I use this trimmer primarily in edging mode to trim along my driveway and the curb, as well as along all of my garden beds. It works very well. Switching from edger to trimmer mode takes just a few seconds. The .080 line is tough enough for my use, but I don’t have any heavy overgrown areas to clear. I easily get a half hour’s use out of the battery, which is enough to do my modest 1/3 acre property. The trimmer is also very light, well balanced, and easy to maneuver.So, for light to medium applications, this trimmer is perfect. I’m retiring my Stihl FS45 gas trimmer, which is a lot more powerful, but not nearly as easy to use.One note on auto feed. Every time the power is switched off-on the line advances about 1/2 inch. To waste less line, just throttle back the trimmer without letting it shut off completely. I recommend the reconditioned model versus the new full priced model, as it costs a third less, and has the same 90 day return window as the full priced version.

It works fine just attach the battery and away I go. You can flip the cutter head 90 degree and get a sharp edge on your lawn trimming.

Like new when received The edger works great very happy with purchasing

Over all great & easy for assemble.

Reconditioned tool and battery came in good condition – battery appears to hold full charge of a new one, tool had minimal signs of wear but definitely not new. Overall I’m happy with this purchase for its great value. My major complaint is that the trimmer head is heavy and the handle on the shaft is positioned too high on the shaft to balance the tool so using this as a trimmer is not ideal therefore I would not recommend this trimmer. The wheel on the guard makes using this as an edger much easier than my old corded trimmer, and that is my primary use for this tool, therefore the 4 star rating. I would give this a lower rating as a trimmer only.

Minimal assemble. Ready to use in no time. Works great.

All good.

Happy so far. It works.
