Awkwardly Heavy [Posted on 2005-01-30]
I purchased this a couple of years ago to add to my collection of add-ons for my Ryobi trimmerplus. I used the Ryobis for a few years on a small commercial basis (less than 20 lawns/week), so I feel I'm pretty familiar with the unit. I took on a job for a customer to tame their front hedges that needed to be trimmed back to 6' high. My issue came when after an hour of holding this thing above my hips, my shoulders felt like they were going to burn up. My arms were screaming at me and I still had a ton of work to do on this row. I used a 6' step ladder too. I'm no slouch when it comes to manual labor, but this was something I regretted buying from the getgo.
I cannot see any reason to buy this add on. Even if you buy it from Harbor Freight remanufactured, it still costs more than a quality electric trimmer. If you need something cordless, then research a battery operated unit (I have no recommendation here) or gas powered stand alone. If you only have hedges that are knee to waist high, then this is still an expensive add on over an electric trimmer.

With the attachment & the motor together the product is long and ackward. It does what it's designed to do but it's not easy to manuever.

IT WAS A FAST,EASY, NO HASSEL PURCHASE. SAVED A LOT OF MONEY, AND I WILL DO IT AGAIN WHEN THE TIME COMES TO PURCHASE ANOTHER ITEM THAT I MAY NEED.
Good trimmer [Posted on 2007-01-18]
I got this for 2 years. I love it save me a lot of time and it very safe to use. It's still working great.
I don't have to worry about cutting my extension cord with the electric trimmer.
Ryobi HS720R TrimmerPlus Add-on Hedge Trimmer [Posted on 2007-05-17]
The product that was sent was what I was wanting to use. The problem was that the construction of this add-on was not the same as the add-on that I was replacing. The new equip would not correctly attach to my drive mechanism so I had to completely disassemble the old add-on, using the drive assembly from it in place of the portion of the new addon that wouldn't correctly align with my power unit.
