HATE raking

Bought one BRAND NEW in 2008, used last year and had trouble starting the last few times I used it ( it has no gas primer pump ). Thinking the gas had gone bad, I drained and refilled the gas tank and carb bowl and cleaned the intake with carb cleaner. Got it started one or two more times but, each time, it would only run a few minutes and then shut off and would not restart. THIS year, fresh gas, new sparkplug, new air filter and even starting fluid and it will not start ( I even tried to bypass the "safety switch" to rule that out ) -- So, I,ve got a BRAND NEW peice of ******** I spent $600 on...

It was a little confusing to put together, but if  you have a good sense of humor you will be fine .... I am a women and it took me about 2 hours.
I have about 2 achers of trees, everything from maples to pines and fall has always been a major pain for me......now all I can say is I actually enjoy doing the leafs .... There is a couple of things that I have found to be helpful

One, find a good dumping spot.....you dont want to have to back up to often its a little tough, but it will make you and expert

Two, Height and speed is everything....if you have a lot of wet leafs to pick up, what I do...

Craftsman YTS 4500

a comparison shopper, mowing the lawn

Well, went looking around for lawn tractors, and ended up getting this one.

Wanted good horsepower, lots of attachments, and decent support.  Local Sears hardware store had this one as a floor model, and they were willing to deal a bit.  Got the 3-bagger and the snow blade at the same time.

Sears pretty much delivered as promised.  Just got done mowing the lawn and picking up leaves (it's fall in New England).

Initial impressions: powerful engine, good build quality, controls are bit of a learning curve, nice job on my unruly and damp lawn, bagger is wonderful, has good power and traction up...

Fiskars makes great cutting tools and this one is no exception. It feels good in the hand and cuts like butter. And if, like me, you don't enjoy wandering through department stores, the buy-online/pickup-in-store option is great.

Craftsman Variable Speed Blower Vac

Craftsman Variable Speed Blower Vac

2009

I purchased the Craftsman Variable Speed Blower/Vac after reading many reviews.  I was originally going to purchase the similar Toro model but the craftsman was on sale.  Easy to assemble; I have used it for several hours so far without problems. Blowing power VERY good, love the variable speed capability since the blower is very powerful on highest speed. I found the vac to be good--just don't overload when vacuuming leaves, just vac with slow and steady speed. Mulches excellent, bag ok but of course fills up fast and opening is very wide and not so easy to dump the mulch into paper leaf bags. ...

Installed the lighht according to instructions. Noted that it was made in China which was my first clue that I was in trouble. Plugged it into the alternator fired up the machine and had light for 3 seconds before the bulb blew. No instructions on how to replace it either. DO NOT BUY THIS PIECE OF JUNK!

I like the shed but I could be more impressed. The seams did not align well. I probably would not use it for things

that I cared if they got wet. I also do not like the plastic clasp. It will be easily broken especially with the use of a lock.

Otherwise, it has plenty of space and was level enough with supports. Also, it comes in two huge boxes so be prepared to

have it delivered or making two trips to the store.

Did lots of research before buying the Husqvarna, had it narrowed down to this and a stihl. Bought the husky basically because I like Sears and the people at Sears Hardware in Fairhaven, MA. I ordered it online in the store and saved the shipping cost.

Overall I'm very happy with it, it started on the third pull right out of the box (just follow the starting procedure). This is replacing an old Ryan blower and the difference is night and day.  The Husky starts easily, idles and runs excellent with little vibration, and launches wet leaves and pine cones with ease, also used it from a ladder...

I used to have a lawnboy that lasted me for about 12 years.  It finally kicked the road this summer.  Therefore I wanted to buy something good and powerful so sears sales personel recomended the craftsman mower.  I like the mower only in the summer.  Now that the grass has died, I mowed it and bagged it.  At least the 20% that stayed in the bag.  The bag does not trap the grass and needless to say about not trapping the dust.  I mowed the dead grass recently and I had to wear a breathing mask to be able to mow in the constant dust clowd.  The one thing I hate the most about this mower...

HATE raking

This machine is outstanding! It will reduce your raked leaves by a third or more plus you can mulch up those small btanches that often come of the trees. It turns several hours of raking and bagging into a much less cumbersome task. The vacuum allows you to clean around structure and plants. It may disappoint if the leaves are wet!

I had the opportunity to read some reviews and I will take the chance and buy It !!! It appears that there are more pros vs. cons... So I will follow-up with my post-review to determine if the product was worth the purchase. I've had good experience with Sears' product; craftman, etc.. Yo Adrian from San Jose, CA... More to come....

I've had my new mower for about a month now and I am very pleased thus far. The engine is powerful yet quiet compared to my old mower. I would recommend this mower especially when it is on sale!

I needed a trimmer to trim several bushes in my yard as well as some heavy brush growing over the fence. This trimmer worked great.  Easy to use and not to heavy. It made easy work of my project. I would highly recommend.
