These clippers are very small
Ok, so they *are* called "Mini Shears", but beware they are VERY small. They will literally fit in the palm of your hand, and are only about 4 inches long. Don't purchase these if you have serious pruning to do.

These Are Nice For Working With Orchids
I have had these handy little shears for several months and really enjoy using them while potting up my orchids. The small size is perfect for trimming back roots before potting up a plant. The thin tip is also good for precise cutting of a spent flower stalk.

As Orchids host at BellaOnline.com I'm always on the lookout for handy tools and gadgets that orchid lovers can use. I definitely think these would make a nice addition to *any* flower gardener's tool collection. ... Read more

In my opinion not safe & company does NOT stand behind waran
I had an "EZ-UP" 10x10' shelter in my back yard, and when one crossbar broke, it broke 2 others. If anyone had been sitting in the chair in my back yard, they'd have become a shishcabob from the cheap thin metal used to make these canopies. Although EZ-UP sells products on their web site to facilitate holding these canopies down in the wind, they do NOT cover ANY "wind or rain damage," and although this, in my view, was NOT a factor of why the frame failed, the company's first response when I called to get a return authorization after it failed only after about 8 months of use, they quickly stated "we don't cover wind or rain damage, cut me off, and had apparently NO reguard for anyone's safety, stating that if it was raining or even in the slightest wind (I think it failed in around 2 mph "winds"), their "warantee" did not cover it! They said I could send it in and THEY would determine (after paying an outrageous sum of money to send it back) IF they might replace it, but that they likely would not. The people at the company were rude, had NO concern that their product had some safety issues, and so I'm looking to buy something less expensive, and that lasts longer! INteresting, they told me that they don't cover ANY wond or rain "damage", yet they also sell hold-downs & it states on their web site (& apparently in directions that I never received with mine) NOT to fold it up if it was wet, but to leave it up!

I had a MUCH less expensive shade that latested MUCH longer and I'd recommend others to do the same, or to buy an industrial model that CLEARLY stated in their warantee that the product can withstand wind up to "x" mph & that it is made to withstand rain as well.

After my experience with this company's product, and their staff in the returns dept., I would avoid ever buying one of these again! I received mine as a gift (that cost my friend over $200!)

There are MUCH better, sturdier, and safer canopies out there.

If I could give this product a zero or negative score, I would!

These canopies are NOT NEARLY as sturdy as I recall them being years ago (or perhaps that was another brand?)

I expect these canopies will be recalled in time due to safety issues.

I would STRONGLY recommend buying something less expensive and sturdier! ... Read more

New Hampshire Certified.
I recently purchased the YardMachines Gold 8.5, 26" 2 stager to replace my snow plow that I am selling.I live in New Hampshire, so we are no stranger to 8"-12" storms, and in the past 4 years or so, a few 16" - 32" overnight storms per year.

I also own a small electric Toro PowerShovel.(works great on small storms.)

Amazon had a great deal on this YardMachines for $799, plus a coupon at checkout for $25 and free delivery!How could I beat that?A couple days after my order, New England had the Blizzard of 2005 and the price apparently jumped to $999 for this same blower. I guess that is supply and demand at work.

The blower arrived and setup took all of 30 minutes to connect this to that, read the manuals, and what not.The unit is "mostly" assembled, only requiring you to click the handle together, the snow chute and a few other very minor things.

As I had significant snow left over on the driveway (400 foot long by 30 feet wide in some areas and 20 feet in others) I set right to work.

It cleaned up nicely on the 1-2 inches I had on the ground.It cuts pretty close to the cement which is good.I then went to work on the snow banks and tried to clear my turnaround.I had about 38 inches of snow stacked up there.

Within 35 minutes or so, I had cleared all of these areas with 2 passes.Very easy, very powerful unit.It throws snow 35 feet or more and the volume of snow flying out of the chute is impressive.

The 6 speeds are nice giving you options moving around.The 2 reverse speeds also help.I am 6 foot, 185lbs and in pretty good shape.I can manhandle this blower pretty well, but a lighter weight person will have a problem.I don't think however that this unit is any worse than any blower of similar size and weight so don't be discouraged by that.

The reason I scored the unit a 4 instead of a 5 is that it is loud.I have heard other blowers which seem much quieter.I would give this unit a 4.8 otherwise, if Amazon allowed for decimals.

Bottom line:I don't think I'll be worried about large snow storms any longer.This unit is easy to start with the electrical starter, is powerful and can handle deep deep snow, and has many nice features. ... Read more

Early Adopters Pick: May 2003. The first fully robotic lawnmower that can learn parts of your yard.

The Robomower is convenient, easy, robotic, and clean--and it transforms the world of yard work! Set up (once), turn on, and the Robomower cuts the grass on almost any surface--all by itself. Getting the system set up in your yard can take most of an afternoon, but the well-written manual makes the job easier. The biggest part of the set-up task is stringing the perimeter wire around your yard, marking the boundaries the Robomower will stay within. Once you're set, and the mower is on, the machine simply senses the perimeter wire and uses three mulching blades to cut down everything inside the wire. Thanks to the onboard computer, the Robomower can even learn parts of your yard as it mows, making it quicker next time. The mower is quiet, automatic, and the mulching blades mean that when it's done you don't need to bag or rake.

The Robomower is outfitted with safety features. It won't run at all if it's flipped over with the blades exposed. Likewise, it turns tail and backs off if its soft 360-degree bumpers encounter any foreign object (like a pet or toy or favorite rose bush). A theft deterrent system keeps the unit safe. The Robomower is very quiet compared to other lawn mowers, although because it takes longer to get the job done than a human with a walk-behind mower, what noise there is lasts longer. The mower works best on level yards smaller than 3,200 square feet, with the grass reasonably tame to begin with. It does not work well on hilly or overgrown yards. While it takes a full day to recharge the battery, a full charge is enough to mow most lawns. (The mower is definitely no lightweight, either; it takes two people to remove the machine from the box when it arrives.) The Robomower is definitely a smart idea for folks with physical conditions that make strenuous activities like mowing difficult, but it's also a great product for anyone who feels like there's always something better to do with a weekend afternoon than lawn mowing. Rechargeable power pack comes included.--Brian Trinen ... Read more

RoboMower Exceeded My Expectations
The last time I bought a product this life-changing was the original IBM PC in 1983. RoboMower makes you feel like you've entered a new era, where those Jetsons episodes we watched as kids have finally come true. The first time your robot mows your lawn is like using your first dishwasher, microwave, etc. How did we ever live without this thing?

RoboMower erased all my fears. Would it take too long to mow since it would cut a random pattern? No, RoboMower methodically cut my almost-square front lawn row by row, just like I would have done. Would it lack enough power to cut front and back lawns, about 600 feet of perimeter? No, it can do both on one battery charge! Would I need the rapid charger? No, charging over night works OK since it cuts faster than I expected. Could it handle my still wet grass without clogging? Yes, it cut fine with no grass build-up under the blade areas. Could it handle the slope in my back yard? No problem!

Things the manual didn't tell me that I wish it had:
1) On sweeping curves the wire needs to be placed closer than the supplied ruler and instructions indicate. I moved it 3-4' closer to the edge, otherwise the RoboMower makes turns too wide. The tighter the turn the closer the wire needs to be. Plan on tweaking wires on curves a lot when testing!
2) When you place the wire down the first time, lightly place the stakes, as I found I moved about one in three. When you move one, at that point you'll have either too much slack or not enough. To adjust slack you'll need to pull the wire through many stakes. Don't expect to tug wire through several stakes at once ' the insulation will split on a snug stake and you'll have a bare spot! Carefully work slack under each stake. Be sure to leave enough spare wire at BOTH ends of your loop so you can provide slack on either side as needed. If only one side has extra wire, you may have to pull slack through almost all your stakes.
3) You want stakes loose when testing to adjust slack, but if you leave the wire too high off the ground and turn the blades on by mistake you'll cut the wire.
4) When I first tested, over a straight stretch of 30 feet I tried just one stake at each end, pulling the wire taught to the ground. That didn't work ' the mower can still swish the wire left or right an inch or two and not run the course you intended to test. You'll need the wire snug enough so the mower can't shift it. A stake every 10 feet or so solves that.
5) None of the literature or their website tells you RoboMower comes with only two perimeter wire connectors so you can create only two zones. If you need more you need to order the connector accessory kit.
6) You may need more wire than you think. I had carefully precalculated I would need only 450 feet, so I didn't buy extra wire from Amazon in advance. Turns out on mowing day the 500 foot roll wasn't enough (curves gobble up wire!) so I was running around town searching for more. I tried Sears who sells RoboMower but has no wire. Sears sent me to Home Depot saying any 18-22 gauge copper wire would work. Well, HD doesn't have wire that small!. I finally found it at the Hoover Store, since Hoover stores service RoboMower (and will soon sell the to-be-announced Friendly Robotics Vacuum.)

My front yard is 1800 feet, almost a rectangle with three sweeping curves. RoboMower cuts that in 35 minutes row-by-row from house to curb, like I would in one pass, in a methodical manor perpendicular to the street leaving no uncut areas between rows. But the mowing pattern it uses on my 3600-foot rear yard is quite different. First it cuts at a 45-degree angle leaving uncut areas between the rows it cuts. When done with this first pass, it shifts 90-degrees to cut across the first rows, catching some uncut spaces but not all. Then it shifts again, hoping to catch more uncut areas. This behavior means some areas are cut repeatedly so it needs about two hours to mow the rear yard.

Mowing efficiency has a lot to do with where you train it to leave the edge to start mowing inside. When it starts mowing, it seems to ponder about what kind of area it is within. If started in a small leg off your main lawn and it keeps bumping the wire time and again after a short distance, it does into a different behavior than if it starts within a very large area and encounters the wire infrequently. However it starts seems to be how it will continue to mow, seemingly choosing the pattern it thinks fits what it first encountered. So, I'm experimenting with the 'learn perimeter' function to teach it exactly how far to trim the edge before turning inside the lawn. My theory is if I start the mower in the same spot each time, and teach it to leave edge trimming in the correct place, it will always choose the better pattern for my lawn. If you start it in a different spot each time it may mow less efficiently at times. So, like a child, RoboMower needs a little advice.

I'd rate this among the most fabulous purchases of my lifetime. The biggest problems: feeling guilty because you're doing no work and dealing with your neighbors who stop to watch you watching your mower at work.

Joy on so many levels
I'm enthusiastically recommending this mower to all my friends.

My yard is 1/2 acre and the robomower completely handles it with no problems. It's got large wheels with aggressive tread so it can deal with pretty much any reasonable obstacles and slopes you can throw at it. For me it even handles being driven to and from where I store it across a section of river rock (golf ball sized) landscaping to get to the yard. I'm also pleasantly surprised at how efficient it is at covering the whole yard. I shelled out nearly $200 for the extra battery and fast charger; I'm glad I did though, because when the weekend comes around after a rainy week, it would be a bummer to be only able to cut one zone per day. You can tune the wire location so that there is an inch or less of trimming necessary, but it takes a few iterations. If you want to minimize trimming, throw away the "Roboruler" guide they provide; it's very conservative about the obstacles and leaves a lot of grass.
It's quiet enough to run it at night unless you live in a very quiet neighborhood and everyone's windows are open.

Minor disappointments:
-The accessories are expensive.
-They should include at least 3 wire connectors instead of 2.
-It's slower than walking speed when joysticking it around from one area to another.
-You have to peg the wire down more often than they say in order to keep it from getting lifted up and moved and/or cut by the mower (every 3-5 feet). (Buy extra pegs) To really dial in the setup, expect to spend 2-3 times as long as it takes to mow once.
-The wire is BRIGHT green, so it's still pretty visible a week after pegging it down. I may bury it in selected parts of the yard, but I'll wait to see if the grass covers it better later.

But those are really just nits that pale in comparison to the joy of turning on the mower and then spending fun time with the family. No other product I own gives me back hours of my life.

Good Idea - Bad Service
Sure, works great, makes mowing easy for any standard lawn... but good luck getting service when the mower stops working.

2 years ago the easiest way to get the RL500 Robomower was to buy direct from the Friendly Robotics USA rep (Friendly Robotics is actually an Israeli company even though they tried hard to hide that fact with the US sales office). Back then Friendly was well represented in the US with a full sales and support team. The prices weren't bad either, so I decided to buy direct. After all, what better support could you get than direct from the manufacturer. What a mistake that turned out to be.

Last week - exactly 45 days after the warranty expired, the drive motor for the left wheel stopped working. My first response, call the US sales office where I purchase the item. Guess what? The US operation is all but dissolved. If you want to become a distributor, no problem, they'll take the call. If you need support, you get a pre-recorded message telling you in much more words, "get lost". I tried their suggestion of looking for a local dealer for service. There are no local dealers, unless you consider a 3-hour drive in each direction local.

I write to support, now for the third time and what does the "Friendly" sales person suggest? Ship the 38 pound mower to another state for service with a company that wants nothing to do with me. Can't say I blame them, after all I didn't buy the mower there.

So I start calling around and here is what I found for a $700 Robomower repair: Shipping to another state: $40 via FedX Ground Dealer requires I pay return frieght: $50 Diagnostic time: $60 regardless of problem Repair Estimate: $100-$150 labor Parts Estimate: $80 drive motor
Total Repair Estimate: $380

I can buy a new mower for way less than that and have enough cash left to pay the local kids $15/week for the next 10 weeks to mow the lawn!

slipping wheels + heavy battery + sore thumb = bad idea!
I freely admit that I am a geek, and I reveled at the idea of having a robotic lawn mower. What I did not realize (until wasting the money) is that your lawn must be perfect in order for the Robomower to work perfectly. By perfect, I mean, it must be very shallow, with no significant root system (e.g. St. Augustine sod does *not* work well with this!), and your lawn must be *very* level.

Our first experiences with the Robomower was after the first full day of laying out the perimeter wire (which was eventually pulled up by the grass and cut by the mower!) - yes, it took a day, and we have a small backyard! The mower proceeded to get stuck anywhere there was a bump in the lawn. We figured that since this was a new lawn, it would eventually smooth over and no problem! Wrong! The wheels are plastic, not knobby rubber, so it cannot grip into grass of any significant height. Therefore, the wheels spin, and your mower will sit in one place, doing nothing. Also, the programming meant that it continually tried to go back and forth through the side lawn between us and our neighbor - the short length! It would go 3 feet, turn, go back 3 feet, turn, etc. This alone took 45 minutes, especially since it kept spinning its wheels or getting stuck in the "hill" at the seam of our lawns.

When we called "Friendly" Robotics to complain, they told us we got an old model, and that we should send the whole mower (which would cost us $75 in shipping) _AND_ $299 more (for the upgrade), so they could add knobby tires and update the software. This still does not make it work any better.

Until recently, we were just using the Nintendo controller to mow our yard manually (still pushing it forward over bumps or when the tires spin; still pushing it down to make sure it cut the level we want), which always gave us cramped thumbs and claw-like hands after taking 1.5 hours to mow a small yard. My wife and I decided we would just work this way until we ran it into the ground and had saved enough money to get a real mower. Well, after less than 2 years, the battery now refuses to charge past 10 minutes worth of real use.

To sum up:
- The mower and battery are far too heavy for shipping to the company for any repairs
- the tires slip and don't grip, even on dry grass
- the mowing algorithm is massively inefficient
- the manual control is carpal tunnel waiting to happen
- the battery life is minimal
- the yard looks better if I cut it with a weed wacker

We basically hate this mower and recommend no one buy from them ever again!

Can't Recommend It Enough
I purchased the RL-500 three years ago. I am soooo happy with it and can only imagine that the newer models are even better. As far as battery life, it mows for about 3-4 hours on one charge and can cut most of our 3/4 acre yard in one afternoon. I use it about twice a week or as necessary and it does a GREAT job. I highly recommend the rapid charger though if you have a large yard. It takes a full 24 hours to charge without it. (Cars actually stop and back up to watch it, it't too fun!) ... Read more

Satisfied Lawn Boy/Amazon Customer
I own the Lawn-Boy model# 10363. The difference being my mower is self propelled. The mower was shipped UPS to my door step in perfect condition. I unfolded the handle, and added the included oil, and I was ready to cut some grass.

Someone mentioned in their review they bought this mower because it's a 2 stroke motor? It's powered by a 4 stroke Tecumseh engine. I have owned the mower 2 years. I never changed the oil, serviced the spark plug, or even cleaned /replaced the air filter, and it starts on the first pull, and runs like clockwork. The only servicing I have performed is sharpening of the blade. During season I mow my dense Floratam lawn on every third day, and once a week in the winter. My mower doesnt get a break. It is in service 12 months a year. I have had zero issues with my Lawn-Boy mower.

more troubles...
Not long after my previous rant, I had the displeasure of having one of the wheels on my mower all but disintegrate, literally. The plastic center of the wheel broke entirely away from the bolt. This wasn't brought on by a loose bolt, excessive force, or any other bizarre act of god. Rather, it was through normal wear and tear (keep in mind I only used the mower 6 times before this happened). Upon calling Lawn Boy/Toro, I was basically told in so many words that they wouldn't send me a replacement wheel, and that it was my loss. Needless to say, I went to Wal Mart and purchased a steel wheel for $5.97, which was consequently of a better quality than the wheel that actually came with the mower in the first place! Also, while on the topic of wheels, for those of you who know a thing about mower wheels, the small hole in the middle of the tread of a mower wheel is for adding lubrication to the moving parts via means of a small oil can. Well, after taking the wheel off the mower, I quickly noticed that the standard rim on a lawn boy wheel is a 1/4" inch solid piece of plastic that is entirely separate from the actual tread. Thus, it is IMPOSSIBLE to actually put oil on the moving parts. Rather, the oil just lays inside the tread. This mower is junk, the customer service is poor, and I'll never purchase another Lawn Boy in my life, period, or any other product of the Toro family. Finally, to add to the other individuals who wrote responses, this mower is HEAVY. Between the 14 gauge deck, and the 6.5 hp engine, it's is virtually impossible to use on a steep bank without cutting off a foot. Oh, and one other thing. This mower really doesn't leave your lawn looking spectacular. It really only gives you an average cut. In fact, the only product I despise more than a Lawn Boy is a Craftsman. However, my neighbor gets a much better cut from his Craftsman than I do from my Lawn Boy. barlett@usachoice.net

Do not buy!
First of all, this is a very poor machine.

I have a lot of steep hills on my property and was forced to purchase this item for the two-cycle engine.

Toro/Lawn-Boy brags about the 14 gauge deck: all this means is it is a cheap deck that will not hold up over time. Please note that they use a plastic housing underneath the deck... This is a cheap, poorly designed product!

Lawn-Boy/Toro brags about the staggard/off-set wheel design: all this means is that you will not be able to cut close to any thing, that it will dig into your lawn and the spinning blade will be damaged. (Keep in mind that they use a plastic housing in this area and they do not offer parts for this, I had to purchase a used deck when the blade destroyed the plastic housing.)

Toro/Lawn-Boy brags about repeat customer loyalty: I will not be a repeat buyer.

This machine does not mow, mulch, or do much of anything else for that matter. After replacing the cheap blades made by Toro/Lawn-Boy three times in one season, I had a custom blade made for it.

I also contacted Toro/Lawn-Boy to find out if they made a standard deck that would fit the engine. It took two calls, three letters to Toro, and a complaint letter to the BBB, before they would answer my question... based on this, customer service is very poor. All I needed was a yes or no, after all that I found out that No they do not make a standard deck which would work with the engine... Again Customer Service/Support is very poor.

Do not buy this machine! Do not buy this machine! Do not buy this machine!

I'd go a different route if I had to do it over
I wanted a simple lawn boy mower, with none of the bells and whistles (i.e. self propelled, electric start, etc.) that inevitably end up breaking. As well, Lawn Boy has always been known for its quality....which this product lacks. First, I was completely amazed that this model has NO throttle control cable at all. Who designs a mower with no throttle control???!!!! (some whiz kid who never actually mowed a lawn). Second, although the staggered wheel design works in theory, it creates many problems when applied in the real world (i.e. the mower constantly get's hung up in minor depressessions, because there is no wheel in the front right corner, which causes the mower to bottom out). "Easy to start"....what a joke. The injector system on these things doesn't even come close to injecting fuel into the carburator. Rather, its just a worthless button (I still have to pull the cord 3 times before it will start). Finally, I purchased the bagging system that is just as much a pain as the rest of the mower. The diagram for installing the thing is confusing and worthless. The real problem occurs when the bag fills up. once full, the chute that feeds the grass from the deck to the bag clogs, forcing the user to shove their arm down the chute to remove the grass. Oh, and back to the throttle control. Sure, the mower mulches wonderfully when the grass is only 3.5 inches high and completely dry. Otherwise, the mower constantly gets bogged down, yearning for more power, which one can't provide. When you finally do buy the mower, the bagger, and a throttle control cable, you would have been better off purchasing an entirely differnt mower (I would recommend the Cub Cadet with the caster wheels). This is not the same Lawn Boy mower from 20 years ago. The quality and design are both poor, and consequently would not recommend that anyone purchase this product, or any other Lawn Boy product for that matter. ... Read more

great idea, wrong construction
1. its hard to connect the feeder hose inside the unit.
2. watch your psi: i am sure mine is around 60psi but the other
end of the hose popped off because of the pressure. the
instructions say rated to 75psi.
3. also when finished, the instructions say you could leave
it in the "rest" position, i say after that go down to rewind
to let the pressure come out the exit hose.
4. make sure you turn off the water altogether.

Okay, but...
The RS-06051 seems well built and designed. But this particular model doesn't include a swivel base for wall-mounting so you can take your hose in any direction. I also had trouble connecting the hose clamp inside because the housing makes it hard to get a screwdriver aligned with the clamp's screws. And a 5/8" hose is hard to squeeze the clamp down on to get the screws started, too.
Then I couldn't get my new WaterWorks Colorite hose to wind onto the spool without looping up on itself (uneven wind) which caused the hose to jam against the housing and top door with about 10 feet of hose left to wind on. It took a lot of effort to dislodge the jammed hose and start over. By hand guiding the hose to get even, side by side winding onto the spool I eventually got all the hose on the reel, but was left with tough-to-remove green stains on my hands from pulling on the hose to free it. Perhaps an older, limper hose would reel better. The company says I need to lay the hose out straight in front of the reel which I'll try next, and I'll try to remove any "memory" curl the hose got while coiled for sale in the store. If I go to 50 ft. of 1/2" hose they say I'll need to buy some kind of adapter for some reason - that wasn't specified on the box when I got it. ... Read more

The Ryobi 12-volt string trimmer/blower is an all-in-one kit for the most fastidious lawn owner. First you trim, then you sweep. But not with a broom—-just click on the sweeper attachment, and you’re clearing your walkways, your driveway, and your patio of grass clippings, leaves and other yard debris. The 12-volt rechargeable battery provides enough run time for the average yard, with a straight shaft that reaches easily under low growth. The trimmer line advances with an effortless bump, cutting a swath 10 inches wide. When you’re done trimming, just disengage the Quick-Release coupler, attach the included blower head, and you’re in the cleaning business. Couple that with hassle-free starting, no fuel to refill, relatively quiet operation, no extension cords to haul, and that makes for a good day in the yard.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste ... Read more

Ryobi 725R
I've had my Ryobi 725R for 5 years and it has held up extremely well and still runs as well as the day I bought it. I would highly recommend this product.

First year was fine, subsequent years are trouble
I received this trimmer as a present so I knew nothing about the quality of Ryobi. The trimmer worked very well for its first season. The EZ attachment makes this one unit very versatile as I quickly purchased the edger attachment. I used the trimmer and the edger without difficulty for the summer. However, during the second season, I continually had to leave the choke on in order for the engine to run. The performance and power level is drastically hampered with the choke on. I added the leaf blower attachment during the second season to assist with the leaves. Even with the choke running, the blower worked well.

The engine is not built well on the 725r. I have taken it apart to clean it thoroughly; however, the performance has not improved. I would not recommend this unit due to the lack of engine quality. I am looking at replacing this unit with a Troy-built one that accepts the EZ attachments I have already purchased.

Avoid this one!
First one lasted about four hours, then the recoil starter broke. Returnd for replacement. Second unit lasted longer- about five hours- starter broken again. I took the unit apart to try to fix it and found the starting ratchet was cheap plastic; no wonder it failed. Took it back, got refund and bought a Stihl, which cost more but hasn't missed a lick in 9 months. Oh, and the Stihl actually starts in less than twenty pulls. Imagine that.

ryobi trimmerplus
have had nothing but trouble with this since purchase.poor performance,attachments don't work with it and cannot adjust idle to have engine running at top performance.if i could get someone from the factory to contact me maybe i could get satisfaction but they must all be in the witness protection program since i can't find anyone.don't buy this product!!!!!!!

I quit exchanging it after 3 different units.
We bought this model in 1998 and I loved it and it's attachments, but I began to notice that when I pushed the throttle in all the way, it would struggle and/or choke out. This went on for a year and a half. It had gone through a move from FL to TX. We went back to the store and got another unit just like it. It worked fine for six months. Then something had clogged or the fuel was mixed badly because it would just idle. Then we got a third one, which I admit I broke while I was adjusting the idle speed. Something that kept the engine running while the trigger was released broke, so I had to hold the trigger in to keep it running. That was 2 years ago. We have exchanged it for a different brand that was compatible with ryobi's attachments. It was also 2 cycle and I didn't care for it either. So, 2 weeks ago I purchased a 4 cycle unit. (The TROY-BILT version of the ryobi 875r) I absolutely LOVE THIS 4-CYCLE UNIT!!! No more mixing of oil and gas, so you engine is safer. It is also quieter, and it has A LOT more torque and power. I still have to go easy on the throttle because I'm still used to the 2-cycle power. So, to sum it up, if you have your heart set on a ryobi unit...Without a doubt, go for the 4-cycle available in curved(825r), and straight(875r) shafts. Also, I would recommend .095 line replacement because it is a lot more durable than the .080 which comes with RyobiÕs. ... Read more
