Will no longer start

Would Not Recommend

I have only used this 4 or 5 times. It will not start, even after changing the fuel.

Absolutely trash

Would Not Recommend

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...

First Experience wasn’t as expected

Would Recommend

[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.

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.

Weak pull string.

After starting this blower about 20 times the pull string broke. The pull string is of very poor quality. Replacing the string is one big job since you have to take the blower almost completely apart. Other than the pull string issue the blower works well.

Good for the price!

Would Recommend

Perfect little blower for around the house. Not as powerful as my craftsman electric blower/ mulcher. But thats 10 plus years old and still going strong. But i love it. Though I would say i really don't think its 200 MPH or up to.

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!

Great Blower

Would Recommend

Bought this blower due to the Echo being low power, out performed the Echo out of the box. went back and bought another for the right hand. prime the unit 10 times and set the choke then pull the cord. Starts every time. Teamed this unit up with the Landworks walk behind and destroy leaves.

Great Value, Power

Would Recommend

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.
