I waited until I used this machine a few times. (about 4 times) I bought this because my little WeedEater was not powerful enough and its around 5 years old (I take care of my stuff) and thought I should look for something with a little 'wack', 'more power'. I have 3 pieces of property, all are rural,... read full review »

I AM NOT COMPLAINING, MUCH. I got a good deal on the purchase. Been buying Craftsman trimmers for years and years. This unit was priced the same as a two cycle trimmer. So I decided to buy it and try it. Learning how to start it required a little time and READING THE INSTRUCTIONS.Mine does not stall.... read full review »

Works for me!

This is the best string trimmer I've ever used. It starts easily and is well designed. I have 2 acres and have been cleaning up some high weeds and brush. This is my first "convertible" trimmer and the first time I've used a brush attachment. It works well and saved me a lot of time and work. I trimmed down a lot of brush that had 3/8-1/2" stems and about 2 feet tall. This was not just easy lawn edging. The string trimmer works great, and I'll never go back to the old fashioned bump hub type. The strings are easy to install and last a long time, even with hard use. I'm surprised at how well they... read full review »

Quick starting, easy to assemble, easy to start. After several reviews, I purchased this model because it had the optional brush cutter attachment. The line trimmer worked flawlessly and it very easy to restring a 12" piece of line rather than have to deal with a spool that gets tangled.

Disappointment

MAY

I was really disappointed with this product. Right out of the box the unit was hard to crank and then it would not stay cranked. I ran a full tank of gas through it and it continued to go dead when I let off the gas and it was hard to recrank. The unit was very heavy and was not balanced. I never could get the handle or shoulder strap to fit comfortable. The unit wore me out. I took the unit back the next day and got my money back.

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!!!

2009
The first machine that i got did not work right out of the box, so I took it back to the store and they gave me a new one, used it two times and after that it would not start, so I went back to the store and they said that i could not get my money back. That the product had to be sent to be check and after that maybe I would get my money back, but this would take over a week. From what i heard two of the store employees saying, it looks like they have an obvious problem with this product.

I am very disappointed in this product. Unit would run for only 3-4 seconds before stalling, it could take 20-30 pulls before engine would try to crank. I am returning the unit for a refund. This was to be a replacement for another Craftsman but after my experience and reading other reviews I may go with a different brand.

Very disappointed

I have used mine three times now and the problems are many....it is very difficult to start and only runs for a few seconds before it stalls. I have to open the airflow cover to get it to run. The second time I used it a screw that holds the shield over the shaft housing access point near the motor came out and I still had very difficult time with it. The shaft locked up on me, I was able to get it going again only to have it lock up on me again the third time I used it. I am in the process of taking it to the service center for repairs, I can only imagine the nightmare I am going to run into there.... read full review »

Not worth the money

JUL

Very difficult to start, I used the correct gas mixture and followed the directions to the letter and still could not get this machine running in under an hour of trying. When it finally got started it shut off as soon as I touched the throttle. After more time I finally got it running and went to work using it. It is very heavy and not at all easy to use and didn't do as good a job as my old Homelite that died a peaceful death at the age of 14 years. I'm going to box it up and let Sears have it back.

I read the reviews and tried to take the negative comments in stride before making my decision to purchase this trimmer/brush cutter combo.  I took the leap and ordered online and picked up at the store.  I was not able to use it the first day because of rain, so I tried it the next day.  I took all the parts/pieces out of the box and assembled the unit exactly as specified in the manual.  I mixed fresh gasoline with the 2-cycle oil provided in the box, filled it up and read the instructions for starting.  I have owned a variety of brands when it comes to power equipment, so I figured I had...
