Ratings & Reviews for CRAFTSMAN B2200 25-cc 2-cycle 430-CFM 200-MPH Gas Handheld Leaf Blower

Blower

It not want it said about the amount the wind coming out from the blower.

Great for the price.

I use it to blow off sidewalks, driveways, does what I expected out of it, It's not a backpack blower so don't expect it to be that powerful .

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...

Blows great

I like the price

Do Not Buy

I bought one of these and spent 5 days trying get it to start. I could only get it to start once. Thinking I may have just gotten a bad one, I took it back to Lowe’s and returned it. I then bought another one and took it home. After two days of trying to get it to start, I gave up and returned the second one. I followed the instructions on starting it exactly as the instructions stated. Piece of junk.

not the best

It is a strong blower but very hard to start. it took over twenty-five minutes to get this blower started as my harm was aching from pulling the cord

Carb problems

Would not run right straight out of the box

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...

No concentrated airflow.

Heavier than the Tanaka blower we had. The extension for the Craftsman blower we bought is supposed to concentrate airflow to move stubborn debris. It doesn't do that. It restricts the airflow so that it is ineffective. We just use the initial 2-piece blower tube; it works well enough but not as well as the Tanaka.

Great blower for long and remote driveways/ walkw.

Easy start, high flow. Slightly heavier than the previous model.

Difficult To Start After 1 Use

1) Difficult to Start after one (1) use. 2) The blow power seems far less than the rated 200 MPH listed.

starter cord broke twice

Purchased this blower because of the price and craftsman reputation. The second time I used it the starter cord broke so I took it back and got another. Used it a few times than due to illness it sat for six months. I was surprised to started after sitting but it did and ran great but then the next time the cord broke again. Too late to return and I could not repair so to the curb it went. I will know better next time.

Great Value

Minimal installation. Started right up and works great, powerful blowing capabilities. Easy to restart after shutting off. Great product.
