What Customers Are Saying
Customers are divided on this trimmer. Many praise its lightweight design, easy operation, and value for the price, noting it works well for residential use when functioning properly. However, a large portion report serious durability concerns, with units failing prematurely—stopping after months or refusing to start. Common complaints include difficult string replacement, shaft issues, and overall cheap build quality. Despite strong positives on usability and affordability, reliability problems significantly undermine customer satisfaction and loyalty.

Purchased and used this product for barely over a year and it is NO GOOD! Should have lasted more than that time period.

Poorly Built - Will Not Last - Don't Buy
Would Not RecommendOut of the box - it ran and performed fine. Reloading the trimmer line is easy and fast. Fast forward a couple of month, first it started sputtering, now it refuses to start. the primer bulb doesn't work rendering it worthless. Lowe's refuses to do anything to help. Craftsman just pointed me back to Lowes - Lowes directs me back to Craftsman. Do yourself a favor - get a better trimmer and/or pay for the additional warranty coverage - without it, neither Lowe's or Craftsman will help you and ...

Failed to start after less than 3 months
Would Not RecommendI purchased the Craftsman WS 2200 weed eater from Lowes less than 90 days ago. It started sputtering in August. Unfortunately, I could not return the item to Lowes because it occurred past the 30 day mark. How convenient...I am very dissatisfied with the equipment.

Craftsman trimmer
Would RecommendWell built, had it assembled in 5 minutes. Heavier than my old one, could probably use a shoulder strap. Lots of accessories available.

Not worth it
Would Not RecommendDespite it being a few months from purchasing this thing has all sorts of issues starting up. Most of the time it just won't... checked the normal stuff, right mixtures, followed videos, all the stuff since this is my first new gas powered trimmer. Didn't start just a few minutes ago so I came inside and wrote this review.
