Ryobi OBC1820B 18V ONE+ Brush Cutter [Zero Tool], 18 V, Green

Very easy too build well balanced once I got the battery's it worked well. The battery life was 40min each . Very powerful cut all the weets. Good value for the money.

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.

A great improvement in sweating and sweating over a badly behaved petrol version... A battery lasts about half an hour. Not enough for a serious professional but good enough for an amateur with a bramble problem...

Really works well, cutting through brambles and small sticks/tree growth up to around 100 dia. 5.0Ah battery lasts almost exactly 30min with a full charge.Length of handles is fine for me 5'10" but it is not possible to extend them. Tilt adjustment only. Any taller and you will be cutting head will be at more of an angle to the ground than ideal.

I was looking to replace my old strimmer which had done me proud for years. Being pleased with my other Ryobi one + tools and deciding that the extra money might be worth it, I took the plunge. I use that phrase because to be honest, what I got from reviews was that the best cordless strimmer would have been the brand I was pleased with previously and it was also a fraction of the price. The pull towards the Ryobi was the fact that it was marketed as a strimmer and brush cutter with a hefty metal blade for tough weeds.I'm pretty handy and reasonably intelligent but I could not put the last component on the unit and get it to work. The instructions were not written (because they would have had to translate so many times and that would have taken a whole tree for each booklet they would have to print)... no they were just pictures which when you're having a problem is simply inadequate. The part which container the strimmer cord I could not get to stay on the strimmer head. If you tightened it, there was sound but no movement. If you loosened it so it moved, it went round but then fell off. I wasted hours trying to work out what was wrong. I emailed Ryobu for some support and received an automated email and over a week later, I am still waiting for support. VERY disappointed. It's not good enough. Incidentally what is also not good enough is that I am still waiting for my refund from Amazon (I won't even get my full full return costs of almost £11 back - had to cover the value of the item at £150). Don't buy this. It's very potchy. I bought an electric Black and Decker (should have done it first as it was great before)...straight out of the box and so easy to work out what was what that I didn't need instructions. I was using it in minutes. It's powerful enough to do all but the very thickest of bramble and the weeds that I wasted about 3 weeks looking at and not strimming because I was let down by Ryobi are now gone.Ryobi promised to contact me asap...wonder how much longer that will be?After my experience I will think twice about buying an expensive/bulky item from Amazon. Total waste of time and effort...ages to pack and send the beeping thing back too. They better hurry up with that refund as I'm so annoyed with the whole business.

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

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.

Does a good job and very comfortable to use with the straps doesn't put much strain on your back like other machines.The battery lasts longer than on the mower that shares it and so you can finish most tasks in one go.The only complaint is for the price the instructions are poor, as although it gives you a list of parts it doesn't tell you what they do or where they go. And doesn't inform you that the bolt that holds the blade on goes on anti clockwise not clockwise as normally

Hasn't got enough cutting power to open a paper bag! Maybe a different cutting blade or gears.

Outil génial

Das Gerät ist klasse, gleich am selben Tag den Garten "unsicher" gemacht. Gehölze, Graben kein Problem

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.

Cette débroussailleuse électrique sans fil Ryobi est un très bon produit.Elle fonctionne très bien, elle est puissante et efficace.J’en avais besoin pour la découpe de grandes orties et le disque fait bien le boulot.Il coupe net et sans effort.Le fait que ce soit sans fil permet une grande maniabilité et le bruit est extrêmement réduit.C’est très agréable à utiliser.J’ai déjà plusieurs outils de la marque et donc quelques batteries en échange, ce qui est pratique.Si on n’a pas une grande surface à débroussailler, une batterie suffit, mais pour ceux qui ont vraiment de grandes surfaces ou de hautes herbes ou orties comme moi, il est bon de prévoir d’autres batteries.Le harnais livré avec est mal conçu, je trouve, je ne l’utilise pas.Il n’est pas très confortable ni réglable.La lame est interchangeable avec un fil classique de débroussailleuse, ce qui est un plus.Je suis très content de cette débroussailleuse et je la conseille.
