I’ve been using a Ryobi system of tools for many years though. I wore out a 2-stroke Ryobi Expand-It power unit and replaced it with the 40 Volt battery unit a couple of years ago. The collection of attachments includes three different string trimmers, a small 10″ trimmer chain saw, a hedge trimmer, a roto-tiller, a weed blower, and a 3 foot long extension. I’ve found that the additional batteries cost as much or more than the tools that you’re buying but as you’ve pointed out, there’s not fuel and they’re quite a bit quieter.

I would suggest though, buy several additional batteries while they’re still available. The manufacturers are notorious for “improving” the product and obsoleting your batteries style/size/shape, etc.
