Eric is a huge Cubs fan and yes, he will talk about the 2016 World Series unprompted. When he's not explaining why he's the only person who should be allowed to drive, he's spending time with his wife and two children who tolerate his dad jokes with impressive patience.
Great Writeup Eric! Ryobi has really stepped it up this year in outdoor power tools, I love that this is 4-cycle and you dont have to mix oil and gas! I like that you can add different attachments, The brown gas tank makes no sense! Its looks like you have been running this thing hard! Keep up the great work!
Great review Eric! Ryobi has been making some really good products lately. Maybe the fuel tank is not as translucent to help keep the gas from oxidizing as quickly. I like the subscribe button on top of the video.
GOTTA GET ONE OF THOSE. YEAH NO MORE MIXING GAS AND OIL. THANKS FOR REVIEW.
Nice write up Eric. I havent ever owned a Ryobi. I have owned the same Sthil now for 8 years.
Eric, I like your review, one thing to mention, I have had Ryobi(s) (yes plural) they are great, with plenty of power. I do live on a farm and I use it a lot, The only persistent problem that I have had (and keep having) with this unit is that the screw that holds the engine to the shaft keeps coming out, and if you don’t catch it on time, the engine starts to rotate on the shaft and break the wires that go to the cut-off switch. When this happens the unit will not start. This is very frustrating as I have one right now that I let one of my friends use and it broke (he was not aware of the problem). I know that Home Depot and Ryobi stand behind their product, it is just very frustrating to have to go back there to deal with this.
Thanks for the feedback about the article. Yes, that is very annoying if that does keep happening to you. I haven’t heard the issue but obviously it’s happening to you. It stinks to go back but I would go back and get it fixed or at least reach out to Ryobi and see if they have a solution. If it’s happening, I am sure they are aware and maybe have a fix.
I bought this unit yesterday and have run it twice today. I own the Ryobi 40V Lithium Trimmer and had noticed it was good on small stuff, however I was interested in trying out the 4 cycle and must say I Love it. Much more powerful, not that much heavier which was one of my concerns am 67 years old. Murder, Death, Kill all them bad plants, that and mows the grass just fine. I care for more than 4 Acres of Family land up here on the SW Rift Zone of Mauna Loa and stuff grows very fast here.
Oops. Has transparent White Gas Tank not brown so do not have issue with seeing fuel.
