Came for the Ryobi review and got a dog rolling on the grass as a bonus. 😃

[@dennisarrivillaga1175]

your doggy is stealing the show! thanks for the tips

[@annesmith6111]

Looks simple to use especially for us older folks. Thank you

[@mini_worx]

At the 2:26 mark your dog thinks to himself, "I'm going for it", and 14 seconds of pure bliss follows. Crazy how something so simple as a good back scratch on the grass can make a dog so happy. We humans have forgotten the blissfulness of simplicity.

[@kristinafisher358]

Thank you so much for this video! I have never used a trimmer/edger before since I’ve always lived in apartments and never needed one, so I was looking all over for a “how to” video on using the ryobi trimmer/edger and came across your video and it was super helpful! Thank you!!

[@bowserwowser4049]

that dog was so happy!

[@richardburnett-_]

Sawed-off border/aussie, funny rollin'

[@jenjust42day1]

The dog! 😂

[@tonypeters3320]

I bought one last year and haven't mastered how to use it, but after watching your video it looks simply enough. I am going to replace the line it tomorrow and get some weed eating and trimming done. Thanks for sharing.

[@keishabush2602]

Thank you for such a great video. I've never used an electric weeder before so your demo was exactly what I needed. It's easier than I thought it would be. Really glad I went with the battery-operated versus gas.

[@lbrown4114]

Don't buy it over heats I took mine back.

[@kimberleyhaley3873]

thank you for the lesson from a new homeowner who just bought this tool but had no idea how to use it - the spool change and trimmer lesson were perfect. Also, your doggie is the best prop all rolling in the grass behind you. so cute!

[@yakupov91]

Came here for the switch from edger to trimmer. Too lazy to read the 5 manuals it came wit and of course it comes in edger mode. You had it in the video - Perfect! Thanks

[@Crystalshopmusic]

This is the first review video, in all of my life on youtube, that didn't completely annoy me. Thank you

[@tomaitoe]

🤣🤣🤣

[@marklang7004]

Finally! Thank you for showing the edger function. Looks pretty good!

[@kembaking]

Thank you Jake. This helped me immensely. I couldn't figure out how to take off the cap. I was distracted by the button!

[@checkfoldcallraise]

Good review! I definitely switched from gas to this trimmer edger. I’ve had this ryobi going on my 3rd season with it. I found that those blade type plastic attachments don’t last very long and I mean they might get you through one cutting depending how thick the weeds are, so I stick to string. You can also save money by refilling the spools with string rather than buying new spools. It kicks butt. Now your first edging on a rough lawn will take a bit of work but once you cut out a straight line, it’s easy to maintain and keeps a professional look to your cut. Overall, no regrets. I love what ryobi has been doing over the years. I’m a first time homeowner and the interchangeable batteries for all their tools makes house projects much more efficient.

[@patreid4615]

Thanks so so much for your great no nonsense video that was clear, right to the point and showed exactly how to use this tool helpful vs the many wanna be standup comedian guys who make you suffer through their performance before you get any information. I’m 79 yo small female who loves to work hard in a large yard and after watching your video was able to go out and use this tool easily with problem at all. Love your video, my new Ryobi trimmer/edger and your canine friend.

[@tomTom-lb5cu]

Thank you for the straight forward no nonsense review....appreciated

[@karenvans5811]

Just pick one up 2 weeks ago. Going to try it later. Very impress with what you did.

[@jayrob4283]

Thanks Man. I needed this vid right now. Just brought one (blower also) on a whim. I have a small yard and this perfect. Thanks for showing the foot pedal in use.

[@VincentWestberg]

Thanks for the simple review. You stuck to the point and made it rasy to understand. I have had multiple gas trimmers and they dont seem to last. trying to decide if I should go stihl, ryobi battery or ryobi gas

[@pattiolesen597]

thank- you for easy to follow directions- love my ryobi compared to the gas ones that i could NEVER start!

[@lcg2483]

I just bought the combo blower and trimmer/edger. Can’t wait to use it. Video sealed the deal

[@jpascal23]

Lia if you got the combo I thinking of, the blower that comes with it is great! I use mine for work and home!

[@raymocopo7340]

@@jpascal23 Perfect. That's what I want to get. Thanks Lia and Jake. Ray

[@rachmchugh1984]

Thank you! I know it looks easy now after this video but I could not figure it out. First time home owner and just learning all of this

[@jmjaxson]

Nice video....to the point and straight forward. Appreciate you adding the edger video part. This trimmer/edger holds the thicker more durable .080+ trimmer line also. Home Depot recently had a 'daily deal' on this trimmer/edger unit along with a Model# P2180 blower, 4.0 battery and charger as a combined deal for $109.00, free shipped to the door. 4.0 batteries are a must with this equipment. It was one of those deal you can't pass up. Just wiish RIDGID would offer lawn care equipment being they have a lifetime warranty that 'includes the batteries and charger' along with the tool(s) as long as you register them with RIDGID within 90 days of purchase.

[@thechase-secondchance5077]

Sold! I want one! I have a gas powered edger and 1 gas and 2 electric trimmers. I'd love to moved toward this option to have just one tool that can do both weed whacking and edging. I have several tools on the Ryobi 18V platform so, after watching your video, this is an easy decision. Thank you!

[@jeffjohansen3458]

Great review! Thanks. I think you've helped me make up my mind. Also, enjoyed watching the dog in the background! haha

[@sinsagoodmansbrother]

Awesome video... Love the happy pooch is the background... Cheered me up on this dreary day on Long Island... Great review! Heading out to Home Depot now....

[@palmerpinckney]

Best freaking video demonstration EVER! 😎🐾

[@jamesholt5519]

Thanks for video, just bought the trimmer blower combo.

[@raymocopo7340]

Fun, informative review. Thank you, Jake.

[@un4getable302]

Thank you. I couldnt figure out how to change the angle of it!!

[@lilladokka]

I had a model older than this one that I love. My sister has difficulty with tools that are too heavy and she actually loved mine and found it easy to use kzbin.infoUgkx_rBCFuDW1zD6blTGhLkvAkxU657uR_lG . This is a newer model but was even lighter which she really appreciates. She enjoys it and I no longer have to go to her house to trim as she can handle it fine. Haven't used it enough to comment on the battery life but lithium batteries last longer than the old style. Being cordless makes it easy to trim the far edges of the property. The entire yard can be trimmed with one charged battery.

[@jollyroger8164]

Nice, just bought this this morning. Combo with the blower. Waiting for the battery to charge.

[@kagasaki6]

Couldn't figure out how to use this, thanks!😊

[@audechilderes9402]

I recently picked up one of these at homedepot and I'm very impressed with how much I get done with this trimmer also I had never used a trimmer or a weed wacker before but this made it even more simple with it being lighter. And for a very affordable price you just cant go wrong with this little guy, and I have jacked up ears so the gas powered ones would be to loud for me even with the ear protection. But for tougher grass you'd want to go with something more powerful like a gas one. As for me I'm more than happy with this electric one.

[@tamarabogart1284]

Thank you so much!!! Mine just ran out of string first time and I couldn’t find the instructions! 😀

[@kylemc8851]

Great vid, thanks man! Heading over to get one now!

[@wlouisharris]

I've been happy with the Ryobi stuff. I had Black and Decker but Ryobi equipment seems more durable. I just got this trimmer. So far it does a good job.

[@louissmall9556]

Nice review thanks! I wanted to see an example of it edging before trying it, it looks pretty easy to do and it looks like it does a nice job. I just got one of these. I like how it's a lot quieter than the gas trimmer.

[@raymocopo7340]

That's what I wanted to see, the edging mode. Thanks, Louis. Ray

[@ADEXClub]

Just got one yesterday - it works fantastic.

[@amyrupp645]

Thanks for the demonstration ... much easier then reading the booklet 😁

[@ArizonaJewell]

Great info! Love the pup!!

[@quicktrips]

Hell of a video brother love it

[@odeliesha]

SUPER HELPFUL, thank you sir.

[@Awgez24]

Something worth mentioning is the attachments it comes with, the blades and the fixed string. These are way, way easier than relying on the auto feeder/spool.

[@sueteacc4798]

Great review video, thanks!!!

[@djbille4283]

I have this device and always have trouble with the string getting jammed in between the rest of the string on the spool, or the string loosens and unravels which is a nightmare trying to fix. I purchased the edger with the metal blade and it’s like night and day. Does an incredible job!! I pretty much only use this for areas where the lawnmower won’t reach…

[@regionalaustralia5455]

I bought this recently it’s good I like it

[@justmejo9008]

Great review! I think I am sold at this point

[@GabyRodriguez-pb9vj]

Thank you , now I know how to use it.

Well Jake, it was interesting listening to you. Talk about how wonderful it is. And then will you get to the string part and you don’t show how to load the spool. Which was worthless now. Glad you spent the time talking.

Good one, mate, my petrol one was so annoying that I smashed it, will definitely consider the electric one with the little wheel!

[@EricMuranoAU]

Love the pupper!

[@carlosgarza7109]

I bought one and have used it on tall blue stem grass on 5 acres around fence post as well as an edger at home. Apparantly I overworked it and broke 2 of 3 dog ears holding the guard. I think they could have beefed up the dog ears since you use your foot to change from weed eater to edger.

[@arturosanchez7222]

Hi from Tijuana Bc Mexico thanks youuuu mate

[@daviscc65]

I watched your video yesterday and went an got me one. I like it! It came with the plastic whipping things and they work well. One problem I had was the thing that cuts the excessive string... it broke off immediately. It sucked! It was too dull to cut the string. So I sharpened it and glued it back on.

[@jpascal23]

If it isn't one thing, it's another😂 glad you got it handled and like it💯

[@daviscc65]

@@jpascal23 right?! It was like a butter knife 😂. Damn thing flung off and almost hit my wife. I’ll take it back if it happens again. But it really works well.

[@Candoit2]

Craig Davis- same thing happened to me! I guess the knife on my Ryobi was not sharp enough since mine broke off the blade also. I'm going to try to sharpen mine and glue it back on also. What type glue did you use to glue the blade back in place?Tap on a clip to paste it in the text box.

[@daviscc65]

@@Candoit2 i used the 5 min gorilla glue epoxy and I used a grinder to put a nice edge in it. It’s been great ever since.

[@Candoit2]

@@daviscc65 Thanks Craig!

[@quinnpa1976]

You can disable the auto feed by feeding the line through one of the notches in the spool before feeding out the string hole.

[@macforme]

Your floof supervisor approves of this tutorial.

[@anibalmercado5726]

People buy things without knowing what they do and then whine when it doesn't work how they imagined. This is a single string trimmer and not a double string trimmer. It's meant for soft weed. Furthermore, the auto feed means that every time you start it, you're releasing more string. If you're one of those who are constantly starting and stopping, you're eating your spool string away. Know what you want to cut before you cut and plan adequately. I have this trimmer and a double string one with an attachment for thicker brush. Mind you, this trimmer comes with plastic shears that will cut way better than with it's 1 string.

[@liontone]

Take the feed button off under the head, and remove the weights. Now it’s great! And doesn’t kill your string!

[@jvenema86]

so almost wonderful beautiful video friend

I had a Ryobi trimmer, and it completely fell apart after 1 1/2 years Total garbage. No more Ryobi products for me. I went and bought a Stihl, and love it. Worth the extra money.

[@robertgately]

Useful review! Please tell me what music that is at the end - love it!

[@tonypeters3320]

the music was really nice!

[@Flies2FLL]

I have one of these, and two things: 1. I think it is decent quality, but it is very light and doesn't feel like it is all that tough. 2. I keep having trouble with the trimmer line not advancing at each pull of the trigger. No matter how carefully I wind the new line, it will invariably get stuck and I have to stop and take it apart to get more line out. I am NOT buying pre-wound lines! Great video, you're dog is entertaining too.

[@FelicityJ97]

I have this issue too and it’s incredibly frustrating. What can be done? It it a faulty product?

[@Flies2FLL]

@@FelicityJ97 I put larger .095 line in mine and it lasts far longer. You might have to drill the hole a bit larger however.

[@unaparker357]

The cute doggies.... oops I forgot this is about the Ryobi review. I think I will purchase this one. The other trimmer I purchased did not quite work for me. I believe it's operator error. But the two dogs know when it is time to cute the grass.

[@Drew1734]

Have you used the pre-spooled auto feed .080 line for this model? I have wanted to see a self spool video about this but have not seen one yet.

[@a4e69636b]

Doesn't the automatic line advancement feature waste a lot of line?

[@jessicayanez7305]

I’m new at this and my line keeps breaking.. and it’s not letting out more line when I start it? I checked and it’s not empty yet. Even when I bring out more line manually it keeps breaking 😣

[@jacquelinemichele]

Ok stupid question but I have this one and I’m so confused how to use the edging feature. Mine like flips the wrong way.

[@ericarona8599]

Can you restring your own spool or do you have to keep buying pre-strung spools from them???
