I just retired and took over a lot of our yard work. I could not handle my husband's commercial grade trimmer & blower - they were way too heavy for me to handle. I purchased the battery operated light weight trimmer & blower. Best purchase I have made in a long time. I can now mow and finish up with the trimmer & blower. Before I had to rely on my husband to do it when he had the time since he is still working. Both do a great job! Would highly recommend!

I had a corded edger/string trimmer and was finding I needed a longer extension cord to do the job. With this one the battery pack works really well, light weight, and no cord to worry about going over. I would recommend this to anyone that is looking for an edger, string trimmer.

I bought a 40 volt lawnmower and couldn't be happier ( I now cut the lawn twice a week because it is so easy, No more cords) The mower does a great job and I can get 3-4 cuts or more / charge ( small yard) and I can mow any time of day as it is very quiet. I love the features of this tool and the fact it takes up very little space when not in use gives me more space in "The Man Cave". Lol

I purchased the Ryobi Electric Power Washer 1600 and it works beautifully! I'm using it to power wash my 17' x 25' concrete slab, 22' x 25' wood deck and concrete 2-car carport. It powers through dirt, mud, and earthly grime with ease. I'm videoing the process of cleaning my 17' x 25' slab and making the cosmetic repairs in order to best utilize the patio for the remainder of the summer. Thanks for the Roybi Electric Power Washer, the great little power washer.

My RYOBI Weed eater, 40 V starts very easy and convenient. The Battery only lasts about 1 1/2 to 2 hrs. I think it might be old. Also it's power is only about 50 percent compared to my 4 cycle gas Ryobi Weed Eater. From the reviews I read before buying the 40v Weed eater rated it as powerful as the 4 cycle gas Ryobi weed eater and claimed it would last all day. Neither one of those reviews were correct.

I have struggled for years with a non-powered saw to cut my high limbs. Just couldn't do it, it was so hard. So... went out & bought myself a new Ryobi electric tree saw. What a difference. Thank you Ryobi for this wonderful tool. So glad I finally purchased one.

Pressure Washer
May 21, 2020

Ryobi 2000 pressure washer This is my fourth pressure washer.# 1& 2 was from Wal Mart # 3 from Northern Tool This one was very easy to assemble, but best part is its the only one of the four that when you connect the hoses up I did not have to go back and tighten again. It was very easy to move around, the turbo head does a great job It did a great job cleaning the drive way. I love it and I am glad I bought it in place of something else I can recommend it

Bad Batteries
May 22, 2020

I have the 18V Trimmer/Edger by Ryobi and the P2660 Hedge Trimmer. I love the battery feature and no cords. Unfortunately, I have had these tools for about three years and am getting ready to replace the batteries again for the 4th time as they seem to only recharge for a few months and then the batteries become defective. Maddening. I tried to Contact customer service and registered at the Ryobi website, the the Confirmation Verification email was never received. So I called and have been on hold for about 15 minutes so far... not my idea of Customer Service. My caution: research the P102 batteries first as they are costly and don't last long.
