I have no idea if this is a good price for this or not but as someone who had one of these already, do yourself a favor and avoid it.
Get something with a variable speed trigger, NO rotating shaft for edging, and if you really love yourself... something with the spool that allows the line to be fed up to the middle and then wound on the trimmer.
This one doesn't have variable speed, so you'll blast everything around at max speed directly into your legs, cars, and anything else nearby.
The rotating head is heavy and throws this off balance plus any string trimmer can edge if you just hold it right.
Lastly, Ryobi has plenty of models with the spool where you put the cut string piece in until you find the center of it and then you just wind the spool on the string trimmer until it sucks in all the excess - much easier than hand winding it over a flimsy plastic cartridge.
At least one of the Ryobi expand-it offerings have all of these features plus you can add different attachments.
I hit up ebay for a used non-expand-it one because I'm a cheapskate and don't need other attachments but YMMV.
Having a variable trigger turns your string trimmer into a precision garden scalpel instead of a blunt-force trauma device. Worth the extra $. And your back will thank you for getting a model that is well balanced.
Edit: I have an older Ryobi P2009 with the "reel easy bump-feed head", in case that helps anyone.
Edit2: You're going to need to throw .080 or higher line in your trimmer unless you like respooling all the time. The line this came with (Ryobi .065) was awful but it did take larger diameter line. I went from using half a spool of this Ryobi to advancing the line maybe 4x for my entire property with larger (non-Ryobi) line.
There are basic affordable tools that help you finish a chore faster and then there are cheap tools that make completing a task miserable. This is among the latter.
However, it can serve a purpose. If you need to buy a present for someone you dislike OR you have a neighbor that borrows your lawn tools and you want them to stop, this is your huckleberry.

Wow, I thought it was just me. This is easily both the worst Ryobi thing and the worst string trimmer I have ever used. At least if you get it from Home Depot you can easily take it back. Got the brushless 18V and it's night and day.
I got one of these in a kit 2 years ago with a brushed drill, driver, 2 2ah batteries, and a charger, for $37.50. was half off a half off sale. I gotta say, for my tiny urban condo yard, it's fine, but there's no way I'd ever pay money for this thing on its own when there are much better options for not a whole lot more. It's pretty flimsy, doesn't really release the string reliably, and is generally a pretty bad weed whacker. That said, if you have a tiny yard and this price is attractive, it's been serving me just fine for a couple years now.

That's probably a good addition. If you have an incredibly small yard, it may be passable for a while.
I have to use mine at least every other week in the summer, so it's not worth it to torture myself for years to save $30 (or whatever the small difference was between this and my current).
Since this has no variable speed trigger though, all it takes is one rock and that savings is going out the window in repairs (whether to something you own, something someone else owns, or your own flesh).

I thought it would be fine (it was my first electric trimmer) but I was wrong.
