What Customers Are Saying
The Troy Jump Starter is a cordless, rechargeable device that makes it easier to start various gas-powered lawn and garden equipment. Many users find it convenient and helpful, especially those with physical limitations. However, some customers have experienced quality and reliability issues, with the starter failing to work after a few uses. Concerns have been raised about the product's durability and longevity. While the concept is praised, the execution appears inconsistent, and an extended warranty may be advisable.

Would RecommendSalesman was GREAT!!! I did not know this product was available until salesman brought it to my attention. He did a great job explaining the product. That maybe because he advised me that he had one. Great Purchase!!!
Worked great ... Twice
Would Not RecommendI purchased this product to take some stress off my shoulder due to an injury. It required an initial battery charge out of the package, which was not a surprise. The first time that I used it with my new sting trimmer, I was really happy when it turned over the first time and started instantly. The whole process of priming the trimmer, inserting Jumpstart into the receiver on the gas motor, and pushing the button to start the trimmer, couldn't be simpler. On the second day, same results, excep...
Great addition
Would Recommendtried this on my trimmer, worked great. Just purchased a 4-cycle blower as well, nice that it will work there as well.
Heavy and hard to get in hole correctly
Would RecommendNice not to pull handle every time weed eater stops running. Which is often. That's why I got this starter.
sure beats pull strarting it
Would Recommendright out of the package it started my weedeater. it really is nice not having to pull start the motor. no more shoulder pain now
It has been hard for my wife to start our line trimmers. No longer, with this starter she has no problem.
DO NOT BUY!
Would Not RecommendI used this twice and it quit working going to get the electric one see if its any better. DO NOT BUY THIS! it is the biggest waist of money and time.
best product i know of
Would Recommendbe an older person with a bad back and this takes all the hard pulling of my back
Great for ones that have a hard time pulling cord
Would RecommendIt is quite the expensive little product but if you believe in the durability of the brand and decide to have more than 1 of their pieces of equipment then it's worth it. It works great for ones with bad shoulders or smaller women whom tend to have a harder time pull-starting motors. VERY easy to use. Recharges fast and lasts a long time on 1 charge
Great concept, junky product
Would Not RecommendWe really liked the idea of the quick start! Thought it would be a nice thing to have and make it more user friendly to the female users. Worked ONE time. ONCE. Got it all charged up, followed all the directions, went out and started our trimmer, thought "WOO HOO". Took a break, came back out, tried to use this adapter and it wouldn't do anything. Tried repeatedly. No success. Took it immediately back to our Lowes and got a refund.
Works Great!
Would RecommendBought this little guy to use on trimmer. Charged it over night. Had alot of yard work to do over weekend. Started trimmer dozens of time with out recharge. Started trimmer with ease. Wife loved it she never uses trimmer due to pull start. now with this she used trimmer. May be bad for me as my value may have gone down. Buy it, works great!
The product did not work and I had to return it.
Would Not RecommendLowe's was great to let me return my product. I was very happy with my Lowe's experience, just not with this product. This time I bought the same type product, just not the cordless.
unknown product value
Would Not Recommendpurchased starter pack,but never got to try it. out of the box the unit would not charge. never worked at any level. excellent concept,wish quality were better. repair/return policy was bypassed by store employees/thankyou to them...
First one worked 3 times
Would Not RecommendThe first one started my weedeater 3 times and then nothing. Yes it had a full charge. I returned it and got another one haven't tried it yet
Great Idea---but...............
Would RecommendTWO, count 'em TWO did not work. Thank goodness for Lowes liberal return policy
Poor Quality Control
Would Not RecommendI purchased this unit from Lowes. The unit worked one time. I tried to call Troy Bilt support but they were closed on Sunday. I returned the unit to Lowes. The second unit didn’t work at all. I just got off the phone with Troy Bilt support. Support recommended I return the unit to Lowes and get another one. When I commented on already getting two bad one, the support tech admitted there is a switch issue with the JumpStart Cordless Starter. I asked the tech if Troy Bilt could send me one with a...
Defective - New
Would Not RecommendWhen I bought my trimmer, I also purchased this Jump Start Adaptor. I took it home, charged it for 5 or 6 hours until the LED turned off per the instructions and tried to start my trimmer with it. It was dead. So, I charged it again and still had no luck. Lowes happily took it back and exchanged it for me. The second one was no better. By the way, the packaging is assault proof -- you literally have to cut the bubble pack open with a very sharp knife wearing gloves to protect your hands from the...
