CRAFTSMAN Zero-Turn Mower Z5800 with Hedge Trimmer

Buy lubricant for the cutting part

I like the product. But the second time I went to start it it took about 30 pulls following the instructions and doing everything it said when setting up. I just used it about two weeks ago and today it it started up just fine and ran just fine. Negative. Is that it rattles your hand really bad even with the strap. I would definitely say if you are going to buy it that you need to buy a can of lubricant for the hedge clipper part otherwise it gets very hot and doesn’t cut well.

Why did I not get one of these earlier????

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow! After getting and using this Craftsman 2-cycle pole hedge trimmer, I keep asking myself on why I did not get one sooner!! With the deep freeze this past winter, I had a lot of damaged shrubs and plants. I have a hand held hedge trimmer but I found it very difficult to reach some of the larger and deeper shrubs. When I saw this Craftsman pole hedge trimmer with 22inch dual action blades, I knew I had to get one. The instructions to assem...

EXCELLENT Gas Powered Hedge Trimmer

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I was looking for something to trim the hedges and trees around my property after I got a bid from a popular landscaping company and they wanted $450 to shape and trim 4 burning bushes and another $350 to trim and shape smaller shrubs around my house. This Craftsman hedge trimmer did an EXCELLENT job with plenty of power left over to spare. I love that you can add diffrent attachments. I already purchased a edger attachment to go along with it. I've always tried to stay away from ga...

Great product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This hedge trimmer has all the features that you will need to get your job done! The overall exterior design is a classic for this brand; it's attractive and modern. The tool is lighweight, including its engine. The hedge trimmer is powerful and delivers exceptional results with my bushes, scrubs and small trees. The blades allow you to trim bushes effortlessly at an angle without having to use an extra long cord. The handle is ergonomic and re...

Piece of junk

Not strong enough to cut hardly anything, gets stuck on twigs and then the whole cutting head bends when you try to pull it loose plus you will not have the energy left to do the job done by the time you get it to crank. Just launched mine across the yard as far as i could throw it which is not very far because its heavy as a load of bricks. Everytime ive tried to use it has been a disaster and i should note I landscape for a living (bought this to use for simple jobs around the house i should...

Gas Tank Design Ruins Product

Might be a good trimmer if it wasn't designed so terribly. Gas tank is tiny and you'll spill gas 100% of the time trying to fill it if you use a safety latch gas can. It also wraps around the bottom of the engine so when you turn the machine to trim all the fuel goes to the bottom. This means that you have to refill the fuel every half tank or else it'll choke out because the gas all pools at the bottom.

Broke After First Bush

Don't bother buying this, I was excited to get this trimmer but very disappointed. Assembly was easy enough, first start took some time, the trimmer attachment is junk. After first bush things where good, second bush and the trimmer stopped (very small branches) and was making a horrible noise. That was it, I tried to get the blades going again to no avail. They would go for a second or two and stop again. Put it back in the box and returned it to Lowes. Unfortunately it feels that the Cra...

Great features

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is pretty ingenious that you can have 25cc engine powering multiple devices. I really want to try this out with a chainsaw extension too. I can't speak to the operation of how different attachments work, but I love the idea and hope it is seamless. Craftsman is a name I trust and find that their products deliver what you expect. These engines run better when you have the perfect mix of fuel and NO ETHENOL. I like buying the pre-mixed cans ...

Easy to Start

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Assembly took all of 5 minutes, if that. I followed the instructions and this thing started up well, and ran like a champ. One thing I noticed about the size of this is that it is a little heavy, compared to an electric version- but this thing has a much longer reach, and was able to trim much more effectively than a smaller version I used. The included strap is a necessity- after trimming for a while. The angle adjustment moves easily,...

Made to fail

Please save your money and buy another brand. Ive had issues with the carb and blade from day 1. A year later my blade attachment fell apart.
