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.

New Weed Eater
Would RecommendDidn’t like that I had to go to a store NOT in my area. But honestly, that was my fault. I thought I picked the store in my area. But I am glad I bought it.

Great trimmer for the price.
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had this for 3-4 years. No issues. Change the oil, spark plug, and air filter every spring. All of the issues that give this a bad review are unbelievable. It works just fine. I would buy another but when this one dies I’ll move to battery powered blower. It’s all about preventative maintenance and the gasoline use you. Use ethanol free gas when you can find it. I would definitely recommend.

The cunninghead comes off.
Brand new out of the box, worked with it ten fifteen minutes, and the cutting hedge spun off and the parts just went everywhere.

After two uses, feed head completely trashed.
Would Not RecommendSo far, only one broken part in this first month of use. Lite use at that - lack of rain means grass does not need mowing or weedwacking. Two times out and the feed head is completely destroyed. Wish i had bought something besides CRAFTSMAN.

AWESOMENESS
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this String Trimmer everytime my yard gets overgrown. This product works well. I also like the idea of attachments but I haven't bought any yet. This is an awesome product. I prefer this string trimmer over the 2-cycle version. I would recommend this product to anyone. This product also cuts through an inch thick weed with no bogging down.

Read Package Carefully!!!
Would Not RecommendRead package carefully. Thought it came with Easy Wind as described in video. It came with Quick Wind. Other than that, great product.
This is the only Lawn Equipment I've had to replace. I've gone through two of these in 6 years. Just a homeowner, so nothing too intense. There's no chance I'm going to buy this a third time. I may not need to replace it right now, I'm going to replace some parts, but you're not going to find much of that at Lowe's.

Only last 2-3 years
Would Not RecommendI’m a mechanic and I know how to maintain my equipment. I never abuse my machines. I bought my first WS4200 Craftsman in 2017 after moving into my new house. I got the Craftsman because I could swap out all the attachments. I have the Trimmer, Edger, Tiller, Pole Saw, ect… So after my first one stopped working 3 years later, I got another one. That one stopped working 2 years later. Today my 3rd Craftsman WS4200 lost all compression after just 2 years. I’m done with Craftsman and will be sellin...
