18V ONE+ Brush Cutter (Battery & Charger Excluded)

We bought a run down property with a fair bit of land that needs reclaiming from the weeds and we have killed some strimmers in the time we’ve been working on our renovation. This Ryobi brush cutter is very light, the harness is comfortable and as we have numerous batteries we can just keep going for hours if needs be. It has tackled all sorts of weeds, grasses and shrubs and never missed a beat. Really happy we bought it

Really good piece of kit until it died a death (seven months after purchase). Used between 2 ½ -5 hours a week. Each 5.0AH battery gives you around 30 mins, although power/cutting ability does obviously reduce as the battery life is depleting. Whilst lightweight and easy to use, I would still recommend a decent, properly fitting harness to avoid shoulder injury. The strimmer cable is easily replaced (so don’t be fooled into thinking you need to buy the replacement RAC 114 spool). You do have to manually feed more strimmer cable though (none of this ‘tap gently on the ground malarky’ here, which is a bit annoying). The brushcutter blade is more than adequate for domestic use (brambles etc) but you won’t be cutting down saplings or anything with it. Initially, I preferred the blade but ultimately, preferred the strimmer aspect which still coped well with brambles etc. Ryobi don’t cover the warranty if bought on Amazon (‘bought out warranty’). Amazon were however, more than fair and whilst they wouldn’t replace the item, they did refund in full, so no complaints from me. Whilst I would have happily accepted a replacement, continually charging the batteries did become a pain and so I opted for a petrol replacement model. That said, I would definitely recommend this product and buy/use again.

Brush cutters are not the easiest but this one replaced my old petrol one. It is noticeably lighter and does the job great. Like all brush cutters, it takes a little practice to get the best cuts but you realise quickly that this Ryobi machine is match for the petrol alternatives. I bought this as a bare tool as I have batteries for the range. With two 5 batteries, I keep going for an hour at full tilt, I would recommend the larger batteries for good clearance. Certainly a good value win for me and would recommend

4ah battery lasted a good 20mins+ after about 2 1/2hr to 3hr continuous use it didn’t miss a beat and cut what ever was in front of it from grass to brambles using the blade. I haven’t used the string head so can’t comment. Only thing I didn’t get on with was the harness and prefer to use without it as it is well balanced anyway.

I bought this because my garden had become a little overgrown. It cut through all the bushes and trimmed back the larger weeds with ease. I had a petrol model and it compares well with that and isn't as temperamental. Only pitfall is I'd make sure you have 2 good size batteries as it does go through them quite quickly. One 5ah battery lasted about 40 mins.

This is seriously under powered. In strimmer mode it struggles with cutting long grass. Every other strimmer I've used has reached working speed almost instantly, but this tool takes a slow wind up to get to cutting speed, then struggles to stay there. The harness is very cheap & nasty, the straps slip through with almost no pressure. Nothing feels like it is durable. I had planned on standardising on Ryobi's tools and battery system, but after this tool I'm not buying another over priced Ryobi toy again.

The ergonomics of this product are good, BUT, it isn't that powerful and it goes through batteries very quickly. It seems to me that there is a lot of resistance between the motor at the top through the shaft to the working head as it takes a few seconds to wind up which I wouldn't expect with an electric motor. The brush cutter element is particularly sluggish and prone to stopping when one would hope it would slice through the rough stuff.

Excellent brush cutter, slices through thick grass with relative ease. However, when used with my 4.0 Ryobi battery, I only got 16 minutes of use before it was completely flat. Fine if you have a fairly small area or are happy to change batteries multiple times to get the job done.

SMidigt format och bra med standard batteri från Ryobi. Däremot är den mycket klenare i motorn än vad jag trodde den skulle vara, efter att ha läst recesioner.

Facile à utiliser. Prévoir 1 ou 2 batteries de secours. Fonctionne 20 à 30 minutes avec 1 batterie. Je recommande.

Vorausgesetzt man ist fähig die Bedienungsanleitung zu lesen, den Akku ordnungsgemäß einzusetzen und nicht mit dem Messer versucht Steine zu verkleinern, erwartet einen eine überraschend potente Akkusense. Die Verarbeitung und Haptik macht einen sehr guten Eindruck. Im Einsatz hat sie sich die letzten Monate bewährt. Natürlich ist ein Benzin getriebener Mäher von einem deutschen Hersteller mit S leistungsfähiger, doch bleibt einem der Gestank durch die Abgase und das Wartungsgedöns für den Motor erspart. Deutlich günstiger ist sie auch. Insgesamt ist die Ryobi aus meiner Sicht eine runde Lösung. 3 Akkus sind jedoch aus meiner Sicht das mindeste um anständig arbeiten zu können. Die sollten einkalkiert werden. Egal von welchem Hersteller. Wobei die Ryobi-Akkus von wirklich guter Qualität sind.

Buyer be aware of the fact that Ryobi USA does not recognize this model as it is suppose to be a Euro only. In 4 months it started to stop after a few minutes of running and I may have to replace it soon. Now Ryobi has always had a good reliable product but this has left a bad taste in my mouth.

Product wordt foutief geadverteerd met een dubbele draadkop, zelfs op de doos. Maar dit product heeft maar één uitgang voor de spoeldraad. De motor komt ook zeer moeizaam op gang. Ook het verwisselen van het mes naar de spoelkop is echt een drama. Ik heb het product terug gestuurd. De Worx WG173E bevalt veel beter.
