Two Great Tools. Likely Need A Second Battery.
Got these two a week ago for a good price on Amazon. Used twice now.The Pros:The weed wacker itself is great. Gets the job done on grass and weeds. Anything with a thicker stalk will be an issue but I don’t use my weed wacker for that. It’s lightweight and easy to hold and move with. String comes out easily enough and it’s relatively strong. Had to push it out a few times along the fence, but that’s probably because I the string isn’t designed for wood.The blower is good for cleaning grass or mulch off your driveway or sidewalk. It’s summer so I don’t know about snow but I imagine it’ll be good for light snow that isn’t packed down.The Only Con:The battery doesn’t last very long. I live in a stand alone house and I got through the back and side yard before the battery died. I have other Ryobi tools so I have another battery but if you are getting this for a stand alone and don’t have another battery, buy one. You probably can get through a townhouse yard with the one battery.Update:Used twice now and it’s great. The string could be a bit stronger but it’s not a big deal.The only real issue is the battery that comes with it. For a townhouse it would work just fine. For a stand alone you need a bigger battery. I have another one that’s bigger and it made it through an entire yard plus using the blower for the pieces in the driveway and sidewalk. Definitely recommend these both.

Lightweight and enough to get the job done
I could see how the trimmer wouldn't have enough power for some jobs, but for a suburban 1/2 acre lot, it's perfect. Just moved into a new house with a yard that hasn't been "loved" for at least a year. edging around the curb took some time, and the battery lasted me through the entire front yard. Love how lightweight both are. 8 year old can easily use the trimmer with pretty good control. The no-bump string stuff, takes a while to get used to. Basically, you release the trigger and wait while it winds down, before you hear a slight pop. That's the string coming out. I thought I just had to momentarily release the trigger, so I was confused when I would do it and wouldn't notice the string coming out anymore.The blower obviously doesn't have nearly the power of my corded one and it seems to drain the battery much faster, but it works well for what I need. Not getting rid of my corded blower, but I will definitely use this more often. I refer to it as my "power broom".

Very light weight, plenty of power for home use
I got this for my wife to use, shes the groundskeeper in our house and does quite well at it. The one gripe she had was the weedeater. Stinky, mixing gas/oil, harder to start, heavy, and winding lines.This line trimmer eliminated all of that. The pre-wound spools are easy to use (and refillable if you wanted) and the line consistently feeds while in use. It is plenty of power for residential use, though we're not sure the same could be said on a larger property. The battery lasts plenty well for the whole yard and has enough left for the blower at the end.Great buy, especially if adding to your already set-up Ryobi One+ tools.

Excellent trimmer and mediocre blower combo
Although this cordless string trimmer/edger is inexpensive it's not a cheap piece of junk. It's perfect for my 1/4 acre yard. I used it for an hour without any problems and the battery still had plenty of power. The cordless blower was about as powerful as I expected for the money. It's perfect for clean up after mowing the lawn but it would never be expected to blow leaves. I'm very happy with my purchase.

Very easy to use, light weight, and definitely recommend.
The battery life will depend a lot on your batteries. I have old p102 batteries, that are definitely weaker than what's available now. The blower will go through batteries pretty quickly, but with two of them I can do quite a bit with it. I'm definitely happy with both tools because the other half is 5 foot nothing and loves to use them. They're very simplistic and very easy to use. The weed wacker surprised me, it does a lot better than what I thought. With patients and taking small bites it will tackle pretty big weeds. Remember that this is not a gas wacker that you can just power through. It's easier on my old batteries, ordered bigger ones. Looking forward to see how they do. I have a good bit of whacking to do and my 2 almost make it. Would bet just one of the new ones will do the job.

What you see is not what you get
This was for a weed whacker.Leaf blower battery and charger , but they did not send the Battery.And the charger on here looks nothing like the charger on the picture. It's just a little tiny piece that fits on the battery. And it's a pain in the butt trying to get it off. I tried to message the seller, but I have no response.
