I have had this product for over six years, and while it is very powerful, the string loses itself behind the opening too often. Then it requires a wrench to loosen the knob, and a total of about 10 minutes to rethread the string and carefully return it to the cartridge. Too time-consuming.

Having used gas trimmers before I was interested in a change. An electric trimmer, this time, less noise and gas fumes. So I ordered the Ryobi TrimmerPlus 137r. I thought the quick link attachments were a good idea, if they worked.
After ordering the TrimmerPlus and before I received it, I was concerned that I had just ordered a glorified cake mixer. I began to have my doubts about the performance I could expect from an electric trimmer.
Amazon and Tool Crib delivered the Trimmer (before the estimated delivery date) and as soon as I saw the heft in this Trimmer my doubts started to subside. I took it out into my huge backyard and garden. Whatever doubts I had about this electric Trimmer's performance evaporated. Not only does it perform identical to a gas unit but in many ways it's cleaner, quieter and a whole lot healthier. I had no problems dragging an extension cord around with the Ryobi Trimmer. The bump feature to extend out more string works easily and flawlessly. Trimming under plants not a problem with the straight shaft design.
Now to slip on the Cultivator attachment and chew up that garden. What a great maintenance tool. I am very satisfied. Definitely a superior product.

the trimmer works fine, but the bearings went out prematurely. replacement was not available. so all they could recomend is to buy a new trimmer head, as in the snap on accessories like the blower,hedge trimmer,cultivator. the cost cost of any of these is ridiculous. so you might as well throw it away and buy a new trimmer. such a waste, motor is fine .

I've had this unit for several years now, and it has performed flawlessly. It's quite powerful, much more so than you might expect from an electric. It tears through the toughest stuff my property has to offer. If this won't go through it, I know it's time for the Husky chainsaw. The motor is at the top of the handle, as with gas powered models, which helps with the balance.
The variety of attachments available are a nice plus. I've got the edger and just ordered the blower/vac.
I have only 2 complaints about it. The first is that the unit's overall length isn't adjustable; I'm 5' 9" and I find the unit a little too long to allow the head to lay flat - it tilts slightly up in front. This isn't a major problem however. Perhaps this isn't an issue with the 132r, which is the curved-shaft version, but I've heard that staight shafts are more reliable. Second, this is a fairly loud machine. I don't know if it's as loud as a gas-powered model, but it is louder than I expected (and hoped for). It's not the motor that makes so much noise, it's the head and, to a lesser extent, the shaft mechanism. I sometimes wear ear protection if I'm going to be trimming for a long time; the rather high-pitched drone of the trimmer's head can get to you after a while.
Bottom line: if you don't mind dragging an extenstion cord around (get a good one, or you may cut right through it with the trimmer), this is an excellent alternative to a gas model.

The Ryobi 137r String Trimmer is awesome! I replaced a broken, 20 year old Sears Craftsman trimmer with the Ryobi. I admit I'm one of those people that take pride in squeezing out every last bit of life from cars, tools, appliances, and clothes. It's not that I can't afford new ones, but I hate waste and like a challenge. In this case, I wish I'd thrown the old trimmer out long ago... but, then I wouldn't have had the 137r to replace it with! Because I have a small property, I decided to get an electric trimmer to reduce pollution and noise. The Ryobi is as powerful and easy to use as many of the gas driven models I've tried. The dual string with its thicker diameter cut through weeds and sod like a hot knife through butter. I had to be careful around shrubs because the trimmer will go through 1/2" stems. Edging the curb was amazing... it sliced through 2" sod effortlessly and was very easy to control, so the edge came out perfectly straight. The tool is so quiet that while using it, I could hear my portable phone ring from 50' away. Although heavier that the little light-duty unit it replaced, having the motor at the opposite end from the cutting head gives the trimmer wonderful balance and makes it easier to hold and maneuver than the old one. If an electric trimmer is practical for your application, this is the one to get!
