Pros & Cons
Pros
It isn't light, but manageable. I would recommend buying the 5amp battery and quick charger. I have the big battery and it lasts aroynd 40 - 45 mins.
Its versatility allows me to tackle various tasks in my garden effortlessly. However, considering its functionality and durability, it proves to be a worthwhile investment.
Cons
Ryobi customer service is a disgrace! Stopped working for no reason less than a year after purchased. Product itself is ok but had been delivered with a damaged connector piece. They better hurry up with that refund.
This strimmer is very disappointing - it lacks power and the cord struggles with anything other than short grass. The tool seems to be reasonably robust but what isn't clear when byong it is that the blade takes a time to run up too speed.

While the quality and performance are commendable, i found the initial cost a bit expensive.
Competitiveness
6mm on this is no comparison and wont handle anything significant certainly not even small nettles.
Having owning other ryobi products and previous brushcutter was petrol i decided to give this a go.
