Avoid this sweeper!

I have never written a review on a product but I have to let the buyer beware of this model. Consider this... - The wheels perpetually fall off...sometimes 2 or 3 times on the same day. I purchased a generic unit in prior to this one and used it for 10 years without this problem. - The turning radius is terrible to navigate around yards and/or when you attempt to back up. - The wheels tend to cut into your yard and will rip up large streaks before you notice it. I have been a loyal Craftsman consumer for years but this unit has not been properly designed. I would go with a cheaper and lighter version.

I've used my sweeper now for 2 seasons and haven't experienced the problems you describe. Do you have the brushes adjusted too low into the grass and are creating too much drag and friction with the sweeper? If the brushes are set too low the wheels will skid. Do you have experience with other attachmets that you tow?
