Leaf Blower stopped working

Would Not Recommend

I purchased this model leaf blower on April 22,2022. The Craftsman name means a lot to me( I have Craftsman products that go back 70 years to when I received a Craftsman tool chest for my 10th Christmas and still have them today). On 8/18/2023 this leaf blower stopped working and will not start. Lowes stated that it would take about a month for repairs under the Craftsman warranty. This leaf blower is a piece of junk. It has always been rather hard starting but all motors have their own qui...

My last Craftsman blower finally quit and needed a new . I always buy Craftsman but I changed my mind based on Lowes overpriced policy and other bad reviews ! It’s a shame my whole garage is filled with Craftsman products .

Engine noise then recoil fail

Would Not Recommend

Bought this unit new about a year ago, because it was Craftsman. Starting making a chatter noise. Shut it off & tried restarting it. Motor acted "locked up" then the pull cord broke in 2 places. Extremely disappointed.

Can’t use at full throttle

Would Not Recommend

Whenever I try to go full throttle it chokes. I’m usually stuck with half power and it takes several moments to get it to 1/2 power without choking out. I have never had it work at full throttle.

Only thing I've ever had seize up.

Would Not Recommend

Had for roughly a year, ran REC non ethanol 90 50:1 actually really liked the unit. Started well ran great was making a rough sound at idle for about 2 weeks before winter. Mechanical failure sounds increased I guess it's you get what you pay for, disappointed it's a craftsman is all.

Motor has quit working

Would Not Recommend

Bought this blower 4 days less than a year ago and the motor has blown. Was making a loud noise and just quit working. The motor is locked. Purchased it because it was a Craftsman. Never again. Worked fine for 10 months and then started giving me problems.

Quit running

Would Not Recommend

Bought this blower in March of 2022. Worked great at the start. Lately it would not run full speed and had to have the choke half on for it to run. Then it finally quit. Checked plug and was ok. Will not start now.

Air filter cover lost

Would Recommend

I think this is a good powerful blower however the air filter cover came of and can’t be found. I cannot find the replacement part. Other than that I would give it a solid 5 stars!!

This product is not worth it!

Would Not Recommend

I have used this product about 6 times. It either doesn't start or if I get it running and I use up the gas I can't get it running again. I can not let it idle low or will shut off and cannot not get it running to again to finish my project. I am disappointed in the product I bought. It has failed to complete and live up to simple leaf blower projects. It should last year's, and I can't even get it to last through the start of the fall season. ☹️

Does not start more than half the time.

New out of the box, this blower would not start. It has a weird issue where most of the time, I can't start it if it has been sitting awhile. If I leave sitting overnight after failing to get it to start using the starting instructions, it will fire up right away the next day. However, lately, that doesn't even work.
