Rated 5 out of 5 by from very powerful and long lasting battery I bought this to replace a temperamental 2 stroke gas trimmer and man what an improvement! I have a 2 acre property with many trees as well as brush surrounding the perimeter. I am able to trim around all my trees etc. on one charge. The brush cutter head is also very impressive I cut through some thick brush and it just wouldn't quit. Over an hour of usage no problem. This has way more power and works so much nicer than any gas trimmer I have used. No vibrations like the gas models, and way quieter. It is about the same weight as a gas trimmer but that's due to the 40v battery which is well worth the trade off for the 1 hour run time. Highly recommended

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Powerful Unit I was looking at a gas trimmer to replace my older yard-works cordless trimmer. Wanted more power. I got looking at these 40V units and read the reviews. I have had it 3 weeks now. Why would any homeowner buy gas? This thing rocks. It has plenty of power. I used it in high first time. Mistake: had to get the hose out and wash the grass of the siding. It was up to the soffits. The battery may be an issue for a commercial user, but not for a homeowner. I have trimmed my yard 3 times and attached the TrimmerPlus Tiller (purchased separate) and tilled my front flower beds,and I still have 2 of 4 bars on the first battery charge. I could not believe how well the tiller worked.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Lightweight, cuts through grass and weeds Got this free in the promotion with the 40V lawn mower Pros: trimmer is lightweight, trigger is easy to control and the line cuts through grass and weeds with ease. Can't go wrong with brushless. I finished trimming edges in less than half the time I usually take with my old electric trimmer. Also, it was free! Cons: gets top heavy with the 40V 6A battery; trying to use it with one hand get tiresome, but beyond me trying to be He-Man, a great yard tool

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Cannot get parts for year old string trimmer I bought this one year ago, find it very heavy with 40V battery, string bump to advance not working well. However my main complaint is getting parts and warranty, warranty not worth the paper it's written on if you can't find anyplace to get warranty service or parts near by. Online parts ordering goes to USA site even though I start off on Ryobi.ca site. Can't get parts breakdown for this model, I only need to replace the string cut-off blade which broke but good luck finding what part number I need! There are 1000 cut-off blades listed, most discontinued. I get no answer at customer service, on hold for over a half hour. Home Depot itself does not offer support, have to go to Ryobi.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Très performant, système de fil l'enfer Lorsque ça fonctionne, c'est de loin le taille bordure le plus performant que je connais. Lorsque c'est le temps de remplir à nouveau la bobine de fil, c'est très laborieux. On passe autant de temps à se battre avec la tête de bobine qu'à faire les bordures.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Keep Your Receipt I bought this last summer and have had to have it repaired twice as the string keeps breaking off at the exit point on the head. The repair shop said the head was faulty so I tried returning it to HD; sadly I can’t find the receipt so I’m out of luck.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great power and light weight! Been very happy with my trimmer so far. Lots of power and much less weight than any gas trimmer I have used with no exhaust smell. Can complete my 3/4 acre tree’d and fenced lot switching between high and low settings on the included 4Ah battery but bought a 6Ah and only use half of it for the same work. Two cons I have is the delay on the trigger before the unit powers and the attachment will sometimes spin and rotate sideways out of the locked position. Feel like I am tightening it plenty but happens occasionally

Rated 5 out of 5 by from what a surprise I received this as a birthday gift from my spouse, because they have run out of other Ryobi tools to buy me. I've been a big fan of the 18v series for many years and find them very reliable. When I opened the box for the 40v trimmer, I acted surprised and happy, but underneath thought what am I going to do with this? I have two gas powered Stihl trimmers already. It's now two months later and the gas trimmers haven't been started all summer. I have a large yard with many trees and beds to trim around, and this Ryobi product is the star of the show! No priming, no pull cords, no gas to mix, no fumes and so much quieter. Tons of power, long lasting battery and relatively quick to charge. I've since purchased the edger, tiller, and blower from the series. They all work great and I'm sold on the 40v series.

Can I use this specifically for edging as well as trimming? I don’t wanna buy the whole trimming attachment as I’m short on funds but need something good.

Asked by: Brayden

can this also be used as an edger. Find it very awkward to use.

Can the Ryobi Expand-it 8" Brush Cutter Trimmer Attachment (RYBRC77) be used with the 40V HP Carbon Fibre String Trimmer (RY40290VNM)?  I just bought the brush cutter, but the manual for the Carbon Fibre String Trimmer does not list the Brush Cutter.

I live on the water which can get quite weedy along the shore. Can this trimmer be used on/in and around the water?

Asked by: jflr
Probably, the working end of the trimmer can get wet as it is only gearing and nothing electrical. That said, if you get the motor or battery wet the tool is likely done for good. If you are careful, this would be the tool to use.

Can i use 095 or thicker line on this tool? And what is the run time with a 6ah battery?

Asked by: Dakka
I have not tried a thicker line but the suppied line cuts most everything I have tried including woody shubs ans suckers. It also last a long time while edging grass along a driveway and sidewalk. I get at least three or four edging days around the house, possibly 3+ hours of use at variable speeds.

Can my 6.0ah Ryobi battery work with any Ryobi tool

Asked by: Spike
"Any Ryobi tool" is a broad category.  My 40V HP Brushless 15-inch Cordless Carbon Fiber Shaft Attachment Capable String Trimmer  works with my 40V 6Ah battery.  Matching the voltage is the primary criterion.  Please see "https://www.ryobitools.com/products/40v?ryobitools_production_plp_products%5BrefinementList%5D%5Bsystems.slug%5D%5B0%5D=40v" for more information direct from Ryobi.

I will be buying a Ryobi 40v lawnmower and a 40V weed trimmer. I feel I need a bare tool only for the trimmer but the trimmer must have the Reel Easy head. What is my most economical purchase for this combination of mower and trimmer?

Asked by: Tony
Last year, I purchased both the mower and trimmer, and I am very happy with them. The mower and weed trimmers are just as powerful as gas versions, and they are economical. The batteries last long enough too. As for the trimmer's head, I don't know what it's called, but it does feed easily. I hope that this answers your question.
