What Customers Are Saying

The trimmer offers good power and convenience with its 4-cycle engine, but reliability and durability issues are common concerns. Many users appreciate the ease of use and effectiveness, but others report problems with starting the engine, the trimmer head, and the line feeding mechanism. The versatility of the attachment system is a key benefit, but overall quality and longevity appear inconsistent, leading to frustration for some customers.

Great product

Would Recommend

I love this product, it provides great power to do all of the yard work I need. The most impressive parl of this is the auto feed for the sting and the auto length. I never worry about that anymore.

My second Craftsman string trimmer

Would Recommend

This is my second Craftsman string trimmer, the first lasted almost 5 years. I only had this one a month, but so far, I'm pleased. It's easy to start and meets my requirements.

Worst trimmer Ive ever owned.

Would Not Recommend

If you want to spend more time jacking around with the trimmer than trimming, buy this thing. For the life of me, I cannot get the trimmer head to feed correctly. The line breaks off inside the head and I spend 20 minutes getting it dug out. My yard takes maybe 20 minutes to trim total. Literally I spend more time working on this lovely machine than I do trimming.

Easy use

Would Recommend

This product is easier to use compared to a 2 cycle model. No mixing gas and starts easier. It is a bit heavier but has strap which helps with weight.
