Ryobi Lithium 18v cordless line trimmer review Bunnings Australia

[@warrennetto1802]

Thanks Mate, very helpful review.

[@jacquelineyelland]

Bunnings supplied me with an alternative to the line wire by fitting hard plastic blades to it instead. They work a dream, far better than shown here and no bother with line replacement. It cuts and slashes down foot long buffalo grass and every weed imaginable. My only concern is sometimes I have problems stretching my hand over the battery to remove .. :/ arthritis, my fault not the trimmers I guess and this only happens occasionally on a bad day. I love mine, easy to carry and very efficient.

[@regwatson2017]

I've seen those blades in Bunnings. I guess eventually you have to replace them but they seem to be supplied with several blades to a replacement pack ?

[@judydennis8937]

Thank you so very much for the great tip! I'm off to get mine tomorrow😃

[@pianopros469]

Excellent review thank you

[@DK-oh7zs]

I’ve had mine for about three or so years and still going really well. It lasts about 30 - 40 minutes and allows me to do my front and back yard which is a big area. I use a thicker cord in it which gives it a bit more punch.

[@allsorted9803]

Does the thicker cord attached easily ?

[@MR-xv5oo]

Yeah would have been good to see some edging done. Nevertheless thanks. Good review 👍

[@tomc7018]

Awesome video thank you

[@avatar8850]

The chicken seemed impressed(!)

[@paulzullo498]

Had mine for 3 years now,does well for my sized yard and the job I need it for,I have 2 chargers and 2 batteries as I have a blower as well,this way fully charged I have 8 bars of charge,for both tools,this way I can share the power.

[@pravinlal3765]

How long does the battery last before it needs to be recharged? Secondly how long does the battery last before it needs replacement?

[@paulzullo498]

@@pravinlal3765 the battery pack has 4 bars and I have an average sized yard,I only usually use half the power running it for around 45 mins stop and starting.in the 4 years I had it I have never yet had to change the battery.i like it bettercthen petrol,no fumes.i got a blower too and charger due to the blower consumes more power then the whipper snipper,this way I have 2 batteries so if I use one fully I can use the other.

[@pravinlal3765]

​@paulzullo498 thank you for your prompt response.

[@DMT267]

Cordless drill.....LOL!! Thanks for the review.

[@greylynnjr]

You should show edging and neat tidying

[@troyyoung8167]

Thanks for this. Sounds like a fly. Any faster than shears?

[@chavsmith]

$129? Tell him he's dreamin'

[@74aussieguy]

Nah he's not dreaming we 129 for the skin only

[@juswreckin588]

@@74aussieguy But he said he got the battery with it for $129. Its currently $229 at bunnings. Thats the wired version too.

[@user-uo6lv6to1e]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@Semaj.18272]

Is this the 18v 5.ah battery kit ?

[@leejohn4966]

sounds fast but not really doing any damages to the grass..

[@Gloriajeanne33]

l hate this whipper l cannot get the battery off.. You need big hands l gotta wait til a male comes around to remove it for charging... grrrr

[@harrycallahan9518]

Hi Simon, nice review mate. How is the unit 12 months later are you still using it? Also how long does it take to fully charge the battery from dead?

[@simonnadjarian8262]

I being using it about once every 2 months and still goes well. It normally takes about 35 mins to charge from flat. I have being using it out of the shed at random for about 5 to 15 mins each time and i think ive only charged the battery 3 times in those 12 months.

[@northlanedarko771]

129 bucks . Is it brushless . Cause they are worth heaps now with a battery

[@sunkaisun2646]

A off topic question mate, we have similar yard, how u manage those free run hens back to coop during nights to avoid fox?

[@simonnadjarian8262]

They go back by themselves each night but i then close up the chook pen every night also which i put chicken wire all round from top to bottom so no fox can get in.

[@HotStepper89]

wow how was this only last year? they're currently selling it for $229 at bunnings 😱

[@freebees1413]

You must be looking at the brushless model which is far superior. This one is the kit with 2Ah battery seems to be $149 in bunnings now, I think it's good enough for a small yard low maintenance definitely want a thicker cord though.

[@cosmicrdt]

@@freebees1413 no this exact model is $229 at my bunnings. The brush less is $219 without the battery (skin only).

[@jasonmcbride]

@free bees The one reviewed looks like it has the 2.0 Ah Battery whereas the $229 Bunnings one now has a 5.0 Ah battery

[@regwatson2017]

@@jasonmcbride Nope it's a 4 AMP Hour. I just checked and the price is now $ 249.

[@subatomic10]

In January 2022 this cost me $229

[@neila8136]

Id rather spend abit more and buy the EGO

[@harrycallahan9518]

You mean spend double? Ego is in a different class altogether, up there with de walt. I get what you mean though the 18v units are almost a toy. I personally went for the 36v model but like he said for small weeds etc and on a budget it would be okay.

[@ronvds4713]

This head is a waste of money in Australia as the bump knob can not be purchased once it is worn out. You need to replace the complete head.

[@sourwords1808]

Mate it's a trimmer not a lawn mover. It would have been nice to actually see what it was designed for. Trimming edges and how well it does at that. Thanks for nothing!

[@brianseo4788]

it lools like not powerfull.

[@alanyewsang5281]

Just watching the video and it doesn’t impress me at all

[@ppal64]

Looks like a toy.

[@kevmak2600]

It’s shit just snapped mine in half

[@davidburden2360]

oh boy this is junk, stick to anything else
