Customer Review: Line feed problem
Summary: 1 Stars
Great little engine. Starts easy and runs smooth and is relativly quiet. But that bump head line feeder makes it all for naught! Like so many others posting here, I can only go 6 to 12 feet before having to remove the bump head cover (not easy!), rewind the line, then reinstall the bump head cover. And getting that cover to snap back in place is even more frustrating than getting the damn thing off in the first place! I'd return it but I dont know what I'd buy to replace it. I dont get along with 2 cycle engines (i've sworn to never own another). The motor on my old electric Ryobi gets so hot it burns my ribs so electric is out too. So its either 4 cycle or let the grass continue to grow across the side walk. Someone told me Honda makes a 4 cycle but I've been afraid to even look at the price.Customer Review: Bad trimmer and service
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this trimmer 12/20/07, after three times of uses the engine exhausts a lot of smock, my wife brought it to Bills repair center for service the tech told her that we put too much oil, I was using the bottle of oil that comes with the unit. I myself brought it in the next week, the Owner Bills told me that it is a piece of junk and suggest me either buy a new of throw it away, I insisted to repair and left it in store. It has been there more than a month, eveytime I call for information, the answer is always back order for part and can not provide when the part will arrive, currently the trimmer still in the store waiting for part. This is not a good trimmer and very bad service.Customer Review: 875r Awesome after 4+ years
Summary: 4 Stars
I am debating whether to purchase this newer version since I am having a hard time departing fromt he old 875r model, 4 cycle trimmer. This trimmer served me well for nearly 5 years with weekly use and routine maintenance. Unfortunately the shaft where the attachments connect to drive ewach attachment is stripped...not sure about buying the part for $40 and trying to replace it. If my attachments work on this model, I will geta new one, no question. Very very satisfied with this product, and the attachments make it worth it all. Won yard of the quarter in my neighborhoood thanks to the Ryobi 875r!Customer Review: ripped off
Summary: 1 Stars
I ordered a 4 cycle string trimmer# 41Adt52c966. It is supposed to be a 4 cycle trimmer. Instead I got trimmer # 41adt25c966, a cheap 2 cycle trimmer. Notice the middle numbers in the item # are backwards. I seems like a common mistake, but this kind of thing happens too often. The end result is that the customer has to pay shipping, and the trouble of shipping and packing the item to send it back. Most people , like me, will just take the loss to keep from going thru the ship back hassle. I feel ripped off. Take heed If you order from these people.Customer Review: Won't buy again
Summary: 2 Stars
The Troy-Bilt TB525CS I bought lasted just out of warranty and was an absolute bear to start the whole time I had it. It would always start, but it would take a minimum of 15 pulls when it was hot outside and upwards of almost 30 when it was cold (always would leave a blister due to the hard pulls). Dealer said that was due to the 4 stroke engine but "I was helping the environment".
Well this time I'm buy something else and I'm going back to a two stroke! "Heck with the environment"!!!
