CRAFTSMAN Mower Trimmer Blower Combo

Absolutely trash

In 2013, I bought a craftsman leaf blower that lasted eight seasons through heavy use with no issues. When it finally died, I made a tremendous mistake and bought another craftsman. I would assume there is a quality control system in place somewhere where the company would prefer that their products actually work, but as nearly 40% of the reviews for this piece of junk are ONE STAR that is clearly not happening. Why does Lowe’s still carry this thing? WHEN it works, it does fine. Cool. I’ve ta...

Better Than the Other Reviews State

There are a lot of negative reviews reported on this tool. I think that is a shame, because it has been a very reliable blower for me, and I have used it almost daily for the past 7 months. I have never had an issue with starting this machine. In short, people need to read the instructions on how to start this. There are multiple videos, multiple starting instructions, and even a sticker on the side of the unit. Plunge the primer 10x, turn on the choke, pull the trigger to give it some g...

First Experience wasn’t as expected

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I liked the craftsman blower’s design and user friendly starter and bought one today. It worked fine for the first 15 minutes and then it stalled. Tried starting it several times after a break of 30 minutes but there’s some problem in the starter cord. It has the spring action but I don’t know 🤷‍♀️ what the defect is. Appreciate if the company could help me restore the trust I have in the brand.

How to Start it

After reading all the negative reviews, I was hesitant to get one. The sale price piqued my interest so I went to look at it. I was impressed by how it looked and bought it. Got it home and found it hard to start just as other reviewers had said. But, then I thought, “When all else fails, read the instructions”. In big BOLD print, the instructions said to give it full throttle while starting. After doing that, I found it easy to start every time. Typically, I pull the starter rope only tw...

Reliable blower

This is my 3rd Craftsman blower in 15 years. I use these daily from March to November. This is a different model than I normally buy but similar in design. The $79.99 promo price attracted me. Blower starts but is a little finicky,haven't found the exact priming process but I will. Blower runs great but goes through a tank of gas to fast for me. The air inlet housing likes to suck up against my jeans,others I've had didn't do that. The air output is great for driveway Cleanup and some medium l...

Nothing like Craftsman products of the past

Bought the weekend of July 4, 2021. Assembled the product and then went to remove the tube and pushed in the plastic tab to release and it broke off. Took it back and got a new one. Used the current one 8 times and the pull rope broke off clean trying to start. Previous to this, I had two Poulan blowers since 1999. Both died for other reasons, but the pull rope never broke. Decided on the Craftsman because I have had my current Craftsman trimmer since 2010 and it still starts every time wi...

Gas, long last !

First of it was on sale and I was pleased that it was a gas running blower!! It tends to be that gas once are more powerful. A new product takes a while to get started, since the system needs to be flushed with the gas. Other than that it works and does the job for a small to mid sized area. It is light weight which makes it easy to handle. A good deal for the price!

Purchased this unit Summer 2023, unit performed well until Mid-June 2025. Unit will not start, changed out Carburetor, air filter, plug and nothing. Pull string broke as well. I only ran Tru-Fuel in this unit since day one and maintain all my power equipment. Needless to say I am disappointed.

Great Value, Power

Great Value at reg. price but got it at a steal. SO powerful at cfm or mph. The attachments are hard to put on/take off but won't need to chg out often. Use gloves caz the rubber grip is very strong. My only complaint is the air intake catches your pants if you use it rt. handed & the exhaust blows on your left leg if you use it left handed.

Blower is hard to start

The blower is very difficult to start. When using the blower, the air intake pulls the air from the left side and sucks your jeans onto the blower. This causes the air to stop flowing to the blower until you pull the blower off your leg. It is a strong flow of air so this happens very frequently. You can hold the blower with your left hand to eliminate this problem but you can’t switch back and forth if your arms get tired.
