Has anyone used a Ryobi strimmer?

Has anyone used a Ryobi strimmer. Woodies doing what looks like a good deal on Ryobi brush cutter with hedge trimmer and lopper for €200. Have seen mixed reviews on Amazon. Would appreciate any experiences using the brand.

Previously had a Ryobi brushcutter and had nothing but problems with it - there was some sort of nylon or plastic shaft which eventually overheated and came apart rendering the whole thing useless. Luckily it happened very shortly after I bought it so B&Q took it back without a problem. Have a JCB one now and very happy with it.

I've had a Ryobi (petrol) leaf blower for about 4 years - never given me any problems so far.

We have a Ryobi petrol strimmer..... My hubby did not consider the weight and size of it when he made the purchase. I can't use it because it's too heavy for me.
