Other products by Ryobi

Product Description

Amazon.com
As a trimmer, Ryobi's TrimmerPlus is quiet, efficient and easy to start. But that’s just the beginning: The EZ-Link attachments turn this trimmer into a variety of other tools, all part of Ryobi’s TrimmerPlus series. The .080 line cuts a 16-inch swath, and the straight shaft gives you great reach for cutting under shrubs and low foliage. It’s a 4-cycle 26cc engine, so it’s fueled by straight gasoline, and best of all, this is one of Ryobi’s TrimmerPlus models, expanding the trimmer into a shed full of other tools by attaching different tool heads to the clever EZ-Link trimmer shaft. Ryobi makes attachments that turn this trimmer into an edger, cultivator, hedge trimmer, blower/vac and even a snowthrower. We particularly like this model because of its J-shaped handle that adjusts easily for right- or left-handed use and the comfortable foam grip that encases it. Ryobi’s clever SpeedSpool line replacement takes the hassle out of that job, too. Great power, great versatility.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

3.0 out of 5 stars Lots of Vibration, June 28, 2001

By	Brian Campbell "jazzy69" (Southern California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I purchased the 875R trimmer to replace my cheap electric one. Dragging 100ft of electrical cord became too tedious and irritating. Naturally, I wanted something quiet and free of mixing oil and gas. This unit seemed to fit the requirements at the time. But, this trimmer has excessive vibration even for a tolerant person like me. The Ryobi's seem to have significant manufacturing variations. I found that my unit will only start if I hold the throttle slightly open. Sometimes the engine compression will jerk my shoulder. If you need a 4 cycle trimmer, stay with the 825R. It is less expensive and the curved shaft will provide better control.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Ryobi 875r 4 Cycle Gas Trimmer - A Positive Experience, June 18, 2000

By	Richard Witt (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews

This spring has been exceptional rainy & warm. As a result, the grass is thick and lush. These conditions posed a real test for the Ryobi 875r. First, it was great avoiding the hassel of having to mix gas & oil. The 875r started on the 3rd pull and cut through the heavy grass with ease. The automatic "bump" line feeder worked flawlessly. I also purchased the add on edger. Even cutting through grass that had grown over the driveway, the 26 cc 4 Cycle engine ran smooth and had plently of power. Since I have not had to add new line yet, I cannot comment on that. But, I do recommend purchasing the shouldler strap if you have a lot of trimming to do.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great multi-purpose tool, December 14, 2000

By	"mrbruiser" (Herndon, VA United States) - See all my reviews

I bought a reconditioned unit and I think it's great! It starts up very easily, and is much quieter than 2-cycle models. Not having to mix oil/gas really makes things easier too. While there is some vibration, it does not bother me at all. It is nowhere near the vibration levels that I have experienced with some chain saws. I am using this for homeowner use on a 1/4 acre lot, so I rarely get more than 30 minutes of use at any given time. I also purchased the blower/vac, edger, and hedge trimmer attachments; all work well for me, although the blower is really lite-duty. I have limited use for the blower, so it suits my needs. If you have a lot of leaves to rake, buy an Echo blower. The only reason I did not give it 5-stars is because I think the engine could be a little quieter and smoother, like my Honda mini-tiller w/4-cycle 31cc engine-- now that's a 5-star tool.
