What Customers Are Saying

The Craftsman gas-powered weed trimmer appears to have mixed performance and reliability. While some users report it is powerful and easy to start for light-duty trimming, many others experienced issues like difficulty starting, frequent stalling, poor durability, and challenges with the trimmer line. Overall, the reviews suggest this is not a consistently reliable or high-quality product, especially for more demanding trimming needs.

Craftsman used to be good...Not any more.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is a waste of money. I used mine approximately 20 times for 15 minutes at a time before it quit working. It would start and stop after 2-3 minutes. Now it will not start at all. The only reason I bought it was because I had attachments I could use. Save your money and buy a quality product that will last more than 5-10 engine hours.

Don't waste the money.

Would Not Recommend

So I had an older WS210 model that worked like a champ for several years. So when my old finally died I figured I would by another one, BIG MISTAKE. Got the new one home, filled with fuel and only got half my yard done before it died and wouldn't restart. Lowes was great and refunded my purchase.

Disposable yard tool

Would Not Recommend

I've had two of these. Runs great for a year or so but won't last. The first one kept "fouling the plug as it got older and then died just past the two year warranty. I found the connecting rod pin had walked out and eaten through the crankcase cover. All the fouled plugs were fouled with melted plastic! The current model is having running issues so I tore it apart and found the crank pin walking out on this one too and it's less than two years old.
