Tools and Hardware Reviews of Factory Reconditioned Ryobi ZR30004 18-Inch 30cc 1 HP Gas Powered Brush CutterCustomer Review: A bit heavy, but plenty of power Summary: 4 Stars
There was a small problem in that the first unit to arrive was a mismatch. The box stated that it was the correct unit, but inside the box was an older line trimmer. The included instructions were for what should have been the correct unit, so they did not match up at all. I tried running the supplied unit, but it was difficult to start, and once running it would stop after about 10 minutes. One call to the supplier, CPO Ryobi, quickly cleared up the problem. Mine is a reconditioned unit (the reason for the fantastic price), and apparently the rebuild factory supplied some in the wrong boxes. A replacement was Fedexed to me along with a free return authorization for the old one. The replacement arrived two days later,and it works perfectly.
Pull the choke/throttle lock to the START position, seven presses of the primer, about three easy pulls on the cord, and away it goes. After about 10 seconds, tap the throttle, the choke snaps open and it drops to a smooth idle. At idle, the automatic clutch releases and the business end stops rotating. Touch the throttle, and away you go. It is easy to hit light grass with half throttle, and you can go through heavy stuff at full throttle. Even after a half hour of heavy use, it still drops back to a smooth, steady idle.
I've put a number of tanks of fuel through this unit now, and it still runs as good as when I got it. My only complaints ... with power comes some weight. It is a bit heavy, but it is easy to adjust the handle bar to get good balance without using the shoulder strap. It is loud enough to convince me to wear ear protection, even in hot weather. But then again, I don't like loud sounds. Finally, you get both a brush blade and a good string trimmer end. However, they are not separate snap-in attachments. You have to unbolt one from the business end and attach the other. Even with practice, this can take 15 minutes. The unit does take standard snap-in attachments, so I will keep an eye out for a bargain second lower end.
Summary ... make certain that the box contains what you ordered. As long as it does, you will be very pleased with what you get for the money. It is an inexpensive and well-reconditioned cutter/trimmer.
