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.

gas trimmer

Would Recommend

Reasonably priced. I was concerned it wouldn't have the power of the Husqvarna it replaced, but it does. Also, I like that it excepts the universal accessories that I was using on my other trimmers.

Hearing protection!

Would Recommend

Top quality CRAFTSMAN construction although most of the engine looks like my 7-year-old TORO unit. Very powerful although very loud, recommend hearing protection. I also like the way you can use your old attachments, no more debt to rebuy you existing attachments

Junk and no support

Would Not Recommend

I bought this piece of junk last year and bought the 3 year protection plan with it. The first few uses on it the pull string would not go back in. I brought it back to Lowes and was told they did not handle any repairs even with buying the warranty. I was told I had to send it my self, mu dollar to Craftsman and they would contact me and let me know if it was a warranty problem or not. I fixed it 2 times and its broke again now. JUNK AND LOWES DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS.

Didn't last 3 months for home usage

Would Not Recommend

This weed eater didn't last me a full summer. I purchased the weed eater 5-17-25 and last week it wouldn't start. I noticed that no fluid was flowing into the prime bulb when I pressed it. I only use it at home, so I haven't used it very often. It's still under warranty, but the company nearby that services the warranty told me they can't even look at it until 5 weeks. On top of that, I have to put down a $45 deposit in hopes of getting it back. The item should just be replaced, being that this ...

Good Crasftsman trimmer!

Would Recommend

Great product, my last one was 15 years old before I had to replace her. The only problem I had was there was no customer service or support from any Lowe’s staff!

I liked my old weed eater, this one just replaces it, my last one lasted over 4 years, not bad for $179.00

It doesn’t have enough power.

Would Not Recommend

I’ve had this product for about a month and I purchased it with the edger but after following to start up instructions it still lack power and if I pull the throttle all the way it’ll shut off. I’ve used tru fuel in the red can from the start so I know it isn’t a gas issue.

Hard to start

Would Not Recommend

I used mine 4 times, purchased on 7/28 returned on 09/01. It was difficult to start from day one, I should have returned it that day, the only reason I didn't was because my only other choices were units 350.00 and up. I tried using it one last time over labor day weekend, my son mowed the entire front and back yard which usually takes 30-45 minutes. I spent that entire time trying to start this posI! I will give Lowe's credit, they gave me a full refund.. Don't not waste your $$$ on this w...
