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.

Raggedy
Would Not RecommendYou'll spend more fixing this unit than you would just buying a Stihl and being done with it. I've had spark and compression issues with mine. Stay far away.

Powerful low cost Weed eater,
Would RecommendThe Product didn't require mixed gas, but I did use a non-Ethanol or low ethanol fuel. Loading cord was easy as well. The only dislike I had was the weight. The Product did have a shoulder strap that came with it. but it only has one attachment point. Runs very well.

Eyelets fly out
The eyelets do not stay in. After 2 or three uses from both my 2 cycle and my 4 cycle the eyelets fly out and you loose all the string. Horrible design. I will not be buying craftsman anymore.

Poor Quality - Engine
Would Not RecommendAgree with the low rating and comments on this product. This model is a complete piece of garbage and very poor quality. Had to get the engine repaired in second year. The brush cutter and blower attachments are also useless and poorly made. Attachments also broke really easily. Not ever buying Craftsman again.

Leaked oil - returned to store
Would Not RecommendI had the same issue that many others noted about this unit leaking oil. I had it stored flat on the ground and found the bottom of the gas tank covered in oil. I thought maybe it was the oil plug but the oil was coming from somewhere inside the unit. I was just under 90 days and Lowe's allowed me to return it to the store for a refund. Not going to purchase this brand again for a trimmer.
