 Ryobi 775r Trimmer Plus Jul 27, 2003
By I Love To Cook
What a great line trimmer. The optional equiptment sure makes yardwork more of a pleasure. There are those whose say "get ready for blisters", but that does not have to happen. Always remember to add fuel stabalizer to your oil & gas mix. These small engines have small carberators. These small carbs have small gas ports. If you allow your fuel to sit for months (most people do) it will start to break down and varnish deposits are the result. These small bits of varnish then plug up the fuel ports inside you carb. If you have that problem, just add a little "Berrymans" gas additive to your fuel. Start the unit and allow it to idle for five minutes or so.My unit starts every time. Never more than three pulls. If your are looking to purchase a line trimmer, buy the best...Ryobi.

 WAS a long term Ryobi User Oct 02, 2003
I've had the Ryobi string trimmer for about seven years. Finally wore out the old one and had such a great experience with no problems over the years that I decided to purchase a new 775r. First one I received had a bad clutch. Sent it back to Amazon who readily replaced it. The new one sent had a seized engine. Never ran out of the box because it came out seized. Not sure what's happening with Ryobi but stay away from this company and product. Until this experience I would've sworn by them. Reading some of the other reviews, I'm not the only one who's been let down by the company. I wrote an email to the folks at Ryobi and got a form email response. Buyer Beware.

 Great but try to get parts Aug 08, 2003
By David Komer
I purchased my Ryobi 775 about 3 to 4 years ago and have several of the attachments. All in all I believe it is well engineered and have never had problems with the engine. To date it still only takes about three pulls to start. Only problem I've had is with the spooler which required about $$$ in parts and three hours of work to replace the worn out parts. The problem with the Ryobi's now is that the whole line was purchased by MTD not too long ago and the parts are being carried by some company out of New York. I will say that the parts were ordered early on a Tuesday and arrive by end on day on Wednesday. I look forward to at least another 5 years before I worry about replacing the unit. All in all a very good product

three engines did not work May 05, 2004
I thought that I was the only one having a problem with a Ryobi string trimmer. I am returning the 3rd one in 4 days. #1 seized. #2 would not start after 1/2 tank of gas. #3 will not start even though the gas is fresh and oil is Ryobi. As were the other 2. My previous Ryobi brush cutter self destructed. Drive shaft pulled out of the cheap plastic housing. Engine on this runs fine, but the housing is irrepairable. Guess it is time to find a better brand.

775R TRIMMER PLUS. Sep 21, 2003
By npoteet
I HAVE PURCHASED THIS ITEM 2 TIMES IN THE PAST 2 YEARS WITH THE SAME RESULTS. QUALITY OF THE 2 CYCLE ENGINE IS VERY POOR. THE ONLY REASON I PURCHASED THE 2ND TIME WAS I ALREADY HAD ALL OF THE ATTACHMENTS . I THOUGHT THE FIRST WAS ONLY BAD LUCK BUT THE SECOND ONLY LASTED 6 MONTHS AND WAS ONLY USED ABOUT 2 HRS . TOTAL. THIS IS MY LAST RYOBI UNIT. MY YARD IS LESS THAN 1/2 ACRE AND ONLY USED ON THE EDGE OF THE GRASS WITH NO TREES TO TRIM AROUND. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS ITEM.THE FINS ON THE FLYWHEEL WHICH COOLS THE ENGINE COMES APART AND DAMAGES THE STARTER MECH. AND ENGINE.
