I got the Ryobi weed whacker today and once again I am surprised- it exceeded my expectations. More power than I was expecting, less string consumption than I thought, easy on the battery, and it took out larger ferns and weeds etc than I would have expected from a battery powered device. Overall I am pleased, though the unit does have a cheap plastic "feel" to it that gives me some reservations. If I get two years occasional landscaping use out of it I will be happy. Best of all, the wife can use it. She had been wanting a weed whacker that wasn't too heavy, and although this unit was a little heavier than I was expecting, it is well within her ability to use for short periods of time.
Definitely agree with Kalakoa's last description. So long as it doesn't break too quickly, it fills the niche we were looking for.
