Ryobi generator debacle-never buy from them

Worst products and even worst customer service. Never buy any Ryobi product or more specific a generator. Bought a generatorJuly 2022, it failedDecember 2022, took 3 months to repair and had to pay for the repairs as no warranty claim was entertained. Getting the generator back after three months it failed again within two weeks due to shoddy workmanship. Another two months of waiting for a repair and lo and behold they want to charge me again to fix their shoddy work. Please never deal with these ******

I eventually got feedback and my generator was “fixed” for no charge. Fetched it and although assurance was given that it ran for nearly three hours flawlessly, it did not when I started it at home. It showed the same symptoms of misfiring and eventually would backfire and stop.

Frustrated by this and ready for another fight, contacted Anthony again, but this time an offer a replacement was made. Went to do the exchange and to my surprise my 2600i was replaced by a more powerful 3000i version. Kudos to Anthony for handling this on a professional manner.

My faith in Ryobi support have been restored.
