"Smart" Idea Gone Wrong....

I bought this trimmer because of the great reviews from this site as well as Consumer Reports. It felt really comfortable and flew through the bushes, hedges, and small trees in my yard. Like another reviewer noted though, it's kinda awkward trying to reach high places while depressing both buttons to... review »

Disappointed.

I purchased these trimmers yesterday and trimmed my front hedges last night. On the plus side, they seem to have sufficient power, cut well and are fairly priced. On the negative side, I noticed three areas which could be improved. 1. The single point grip front handle has got to go. It is very difficult... review »

Recommended by Consumer Reports and me

I purchased this Craftsman electric trimmer because it was highly recommended by Consumer Reports. I am very glad that I did because it was able to take care of my hedges and some small tree branches without any problem. I put it together in about 5 minutes and had it up and running for 3 hours without any problem. Highly recommend it. Great value for a great price.

Product wears out over time

MAY

2008
Initially I was very pleased with the Craftsman brand. I was replacing a B&D whos motor had worn out from use. After time though, the blades began developing gaps. I would tighten down the screws until they eventually would get stripped and need to be replaced. There is no sharpening these type of blades. You must replace them. I priced replacement and it is $50. Way 2 expensive for some stamped metal pieces. Over time, the cutting ability diminishes and you will need to replace else end up with bad cuts and damaged shrubs that comes from that. I think next purchase will be a more pro model for... review »

I've had this for about a month. I've used it twice to trim up a couple of individual evergreen bushes, and so far it's great. Strong blade, doesn't jam. Good tool.

Hedge Trimmer

JUN
3
2008
Trimmer was powerful and did a great job cutting through thick hedges. What I don't like is that it requires the operator to depress two buttons (one with each hand) for it to run. It makes it awkward to cut angles and tight spaces and is ergonomically uncomfortable and causes fatigue on the left hand. I know this is a safety feature but it just became very annoying and made me want to return it to the store after about an hour of trimming.

tends to strip rather than cut

MAY

2007
I just purchased the Craftsman 22" to replace an aging B&D Hedge Trimmer. I chose it over the equivalent B&D as the motor was .2 Amp stronger. While it does function, I'm disappointed in its cutting effectiveness. It will cut through larger branches (though I didn't try anything over 1/2"), it tends to strip leaves off of toothpick thick branches. I had to "saw" back and forth numberous times just to try to get a level looking cut. I may go back and purchase the B&D to compare it and replace the Craftsman. The B&D appears to have a more agressive cutting blade, and has the ability to lock the switch... review »

Great Product

AUG

2007
I just purchased this trimmer and could not be happier with it's performance... It was a replacement for a Black and Decker 20 inch that I had only had for two years and the motor burnt up in it. It had not been used all that much, was kept in my garage and I did use a heavy duty extension cord as I do all my power tools.... I have found every Sears product I have ever purchased to be of top quality...including appliances, hand tools, shop vacs, compressors, tires, etc. I always take out the extended warranties but have yet to use one for repairs or replacements. I do know from my previous experience... review »

Great cutting blade, but heavy, loud, and awkward to use
practical

AUG

2009

I purchased this trimmer primarily on the recommendation of **************** (not the first time CR has led me in the wrong direction). The blade cuts well, no disappointment there. But I found the trimmer to be awkward to use in high and tight places, and it is heavy and loud (use ear protection for sure). If I had the decision to make again, I would shop around a bit more. The price was great and it cuts well, but the other factors make this purchase a disappointment.  Sears should consider a redesign to address consistent consumer criticisms of this trimmer....and ****************....that's...

Great price, great performance!
all about curb appeal

I purchased this trimmer on-line and saved about $15.  I had purchased a Black and Decker last year (I think a hedge hog) that performed miserably.  This trimmer is fantastic and trims with no splintering.  I have 8 evergreen shrubs in front of my house that trimmed beautifully.   I have 20 leland cypress and plan to tackle them tomorrow.  Thank you Sears and thank you Craftsman for another fine product.  A definite score of 10.

Excellent trimmer

I purchased this product to replace an older 18" Craftsman trimmer that was light but was totally unsatisfactory in trimming performance. I wish I had replaced it sooner. This 22" product is doing an excellent job of trimming both large and small branches. It's trimming performance is comparable to a gas powered hedge trimmer I own. I'm not surprised that it is currently out of stock since it is an excellent product at a reasonable price.

Consumer Report s"Best Buy"

MAY
15
2007
I purchased this item based on the "Best Buy" rating it was given by Consumer Reports Magazine. This trimmer has lived up to this rating and it has met all of the demands that I have placed upon it-what a time and energy saver! I purchased this item via Sears online web catalogue. This was a first for me and the transaction went flawlessly. But then, I have never had a bad experience with Sears or it's merchandise.
