Pros: none
Cons: Its total junk, doesnt meet the basic functions of a trimmer/.
I bought this thing since I had the attachments from a 12 yr old one already. My old one was crap too, but at least it worked reasonably.
I have had many kinds of Ryobi brand products in my life from fishing reels to trimmers to power tools. I will say this...they are all junk. This trimmer is no exception. It doesnt start or run worth a damn, it doesnt trim will, the bump head works poorly, it cuts the line off frequently, etc, etc, etc. It is not worth the $99 price.
Besides the crappy line feed, the worst thing is long weeds will wrap around the shaft at the head and lock it up, taking several min to stop , get weeds off, and get the POS restarted. Its infuriating. I have had several trimmers in my life, and NONE did this, except this piece of trash.
