Would Not RecommendBought this, put it together and filled with oil. All the oil came out somewhere. Returned it, bought the same product and it did the same thing.
Motor seized almost immediately
Would Not RecommendI carefully followed all the instructions for starting this unit and it the motor seized almost immediately. I see a review from someone else describing the same issue from 4 days ago— perhaps there is a bad batch or something. Besides that major issue, build quality and design both leave a lot to be desired. I like the convenience of being able to use different attachments and not having to mix the oil and fuel, but I would gladly give up both of those features for a unit that actually works re...

Does exactly what it is supposed to do, with ease.
Would RecommendI purchased a Husqvarna weed eater prior to this one that was simalarly priced but lacked power. By a lot. Then, the thing would not run at full throttle without dying. No issues with this one, Craftsman still a solid brand.

Cutting Head Problem
The cutting head after about 20 minutes of use now is loose, & it won't spin with throttle. I bought this today.

First 4 stroke weed trimmer owned
Would RecommendWeed trimmer had no issue with starting or running. After putting in the oil that is supplied with it and putting gas in, only took about three pulls to start with the sequence illustrated. Was easy to assemble and feels well built. I would say putting gas in the tank was the only tricky part since the spout is molded at a slightly higher angle to fill from a gas container.
