Ratings & Reviews for CRAFTSMAN 159-cc 22.0-in String Trimmer

Unreliable assistance

I think this trimmer is a lifesaver for older people who want to do their own yard work, but lack the strength to manage other equipment. However it arrived missing a part, and all my efforts to get a replacement fell on deaf ears. Very disappointing!

It isn't self-propelled

I thought it was self-propelled. However, it gets the job done!

Does a great job

Does a great job at cutting through brush and Tall Grass. If you have saplings or anything bigger around than a dime you tend to break strings so make sure you get heavy duty string. As far as grass and standard brush goes though, this thing is a beast.

Trimmer or brush hog?

So i had alot of high grass that my mower couldnt take care of. It might be a trimmer but it works amazingly as a brush hog. Ate through everything like it wasnt an issue.

Great Buy At A Great Price

Great product , I put this mower thru 2 days of hell and it kept going . Knee high grass with water up to my ankles and it just kept on cutting. The only time it stopped on me was when it ran out of gas, filled it up and went back to cutting. If you're looking for a tough mower that gets the job done, this mower is for you.

Works Great

Awesome Product works better than Cub Cadet machine.

great product

two and a half to three foot tall grass was absolutely no problem. The base of the tall grass was wet also, but this unit had no issues. Zero turn kept getting stuck in the slush, but this thing was an absolute savior!

Decent product, terrible support for it at Lowe’s

First off, the cutter itself is decent and cuts through most brush with ease. The original heavy duty string lasted about 4 hours of use and knocked down pretty much everything other than trees. The issue is that Lowe’s offers ZERO product support for this item. There are no refills, attachments, or blades associated with this trimmer at Lowe’s. They say to use .155 string as a replacement but it it basically disintegrates in 45 seconds. Lowe’s should not be selling products that they do not sup...

Seems pretty awesome, but still some issues

Out of the box it was assembled and easy to start (after adding oil and gas). First two times using it, it seemed great. Powerful, made quick work of some over grown areas. Then I started to have some issues that I'm still trying to work through. My third time using (and towards the end of second use) there seems to be a lack of power. After investigating, I noticed that the plastic 'guard' was on backwards. I also noticed that the spring that is associated with pully/belt underneath is no...

Awesome

This thing is awesome! it is very quiet and it will cut the weeds like butter. I also like that it doesn't cover you with grass clippings

Convenient

Love it! Easy to use, easy to start, easy to push! Great because you don’t have to hold up like a regular weedwhacker, that hurts the back, no mixing gas and oil!
