Shoddy product
Purchased a very expensive ($199) ryobi 4 cycle grass/weed trimmer in mid 2009 — over periodic use, the unit spews hot oil when operated in traditional trimmer positions — ryobi quickly replaced it, but the replacement trimmer does the same thing — furthermore, the trimmer does not start and run properly anymore — I have asked ryobi for a full refund because this is a dangerous, non-performing product that should be recalled — they have denied my request, even though they have a 2 or 3 year warranty on this shoddy product.
Weedeater that doesn't work
I purchased a weed eater at the end of 2009. It has never worked properly. I took it back to Home Depot and it was replaced with another one that did not work properly.

Dear Karen,
Ryobi Is a cheaply made product with no quality control. The units therefor are also very cheap. I have to disagree with you though as $199 is very very inexpensive for a 4cycle weed trimmer. If you would like to get a good trimmer that will last and start for you every year you need to invest in a Stihl or Kawasaki Commercial grade weed whacker. Expect to spend about 3-5 hundred dollars but also know that this investment will outlast 10-15 $200 Ryobi Products.
