Ryobi 18V ONE+ 13" String Trimmer/Edger vs Husqvarna 110iL FLXi String Trimmer

The Ryobi 18V ONE+ is the better pick for most shoppers already in the ONE+ system: it is lighter, runs on batteries you likely own, and costs little to add as a bare tool. The Husqvarna 110iL FLXi is the stronger standalone trimmer, with a 40V battery and charger in the box, a 14-inch working width, a support wheel for edging, and FLXi attachments for blowing, hedge trimming and pole sawing. Reviewers rate the Husqvarna well (4.6 of 5 from 46 ratings) and praise its balance and quiet running; Ryobi owners like the light weight and auto-feed but note the modest power and plastic build. Neither is a heavy-duty brush cutter.

• Choose the Ryobi 18V ONE+ if you already own Ryobi 18V batteries and want a light, simple trimmer and edger for a small to mid-size yard.
• Choose the Husqvarna 110iL FLXi if you want a complete kit with battery and charger, a wider cut, a support wheel for edging, and the option to add blower, hedge trimmer or pole saw attachments.
