I was given a Ryobi model RLT26CDSN line trimmer and found the area around the air filter and air filter cover quite oily. I used it once on half our backyard to see if it would work and it did so with ease.

After I set to washing the air filter and cover the filter split unfortunately.

Anyone had luck sourcing and replacing such a thing? All I can get out of the internet are replacement carbs which come with filters. No idea if they'd work. This one has a rounded shape filter whereas what I'm finding online has a different shape.

Do Bunnings have any parts backup?

Well, Ryobi do have an NZ presence - and a current model which is your model number ending in 'E' rather than 'N'.

The online manual for the 'N' version shows NZ support at Techtronic Industries, in Mangere.

The online parts list (here) shows a roundish air filter (part 33) for 16$ A.
Hopefully, it'll be less than double that here...

^Perfect- that looks to be it!

I was looking at that site earlier but it was showing no stock, maybe it was under a different model or something

Is it just the filter, or the housing that is broken? If it's the filter material then any air filter foam can probably be cut to the right shape.

Which means they take it back, give you a new one and throw the old one in the skip bin.

We have tried getting parts for an Ozito air compressor, it is being used way out of spec (ie taking in volcanic gasses, compressing them, and then being used to inject them into various columns for analysis. We dont care about the warranty, but we can not get parts to fix them. So far we have been though about 4 or 5. The "part" is a whole new one.

Domestic quality electric tools are also designed to have a life of about 20 hours, but given most will do an hour a year..."Its so reliable, its lasted me 10 years", where as my Dads old Desoutter drill that was used commercially survived 30+ years and got handed down, still working. That thing had enough torque to throw you.

There is a lot of "reasonable" in there which is how they get out of it. Cheap goods have less expectation for parts, always has been the case and ryobi is at the bottom of the range for power garden stuff.

Despite Bunnings being (in some cases ) the exclusive agent for some Ryobi products they don't even carry consumable spares. Like for example the blades for an edger.

Ryobi makes an OK product, spoiled in New Zealand by the lack of support from Bunnings.

Yep, I'm aware of that, but that's not providing adequate support for the product IMO. Consumable spares shouldn't be special order. With every other similar product I've bought from other retailers I've been able to walk in and buy consumable spares. Not at Bunnings.

Its doesnt matter what your opinion is, they are available.

Can you walk into Noel Lemmings and get spares for your appliance?

Being available vs on the shelf are two very different things. I'm not talking about spares to repair, I'm talking about things that get used during normal use, things like cutting blades,

I don't shop at NL, however as I've already stated for appliances that I own that need consumable spares I can go into the the retailer and buy them off the shelf.

It's about providing service to the customer and Bunnings aren't particularly good when compared to other retailers in my experience.

Cutting blades rarely fail abruptly, so you know a long time in advance you need a new one, so its no harm or real hassle having to special order it in. it fulfils their obligations under the CGA.
