DRedd says "The Craftsman lawn tractor is reliable for the job. " about Craftsman LT 2000 20 HP 42" Lawn Tractor

DRedd — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 15:22:34 GMT

I have been using my Craftsman LT 2000 lawn tractor for 5 years and have had no problems. I have approx. a 10,000 sq. ft. lot of which there is a slight slope on the sides and back yard. The tractor has no problems negotiaing the slight slopes and I am satisfied with the cut I get on the grass, I have had several compliments on my lawn.

dislikesears says "Looks nice but not sure of durability" about Garden Oasis 5 pc. Bar Set, Oakbrook Collection

dislikesears — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 17:38:15 GMT

bought these at sears. i am giving it an average rating because although it looks nice, i did not like the fac t that the bar chairs come apart when lifting / moving. wonder how secure these may be when someone sits on them.... especially if a large person sits on them. further, i am bit worried about it rusting up fast as others are saying. mine sat in boxes for a while before i opened it to assemble so now i cannot return it otherwise i might have just returned it.

HeiressMJ says "Disgusted" about Snapper 3100 MAX PSI / 2.5 MAX GPM Pressure Washer- CA model

HeiressMJ — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 15:58:57 GMT

Bought this power washer thinking it was the best of the residential midteir power washers. What a joke - the pump seized on the 4th use. Took it to a Snapper service agent and told that it wouldn't be a warranty item as pumps do not seize unless they are run without water. NEVER NEVER NEVER ran it without water on. The part is $230 and two hours of labor to fix at $65/hr makes this not worth the money to repair. I could just scream. Hey Sears - this is why the big box stores are kicking your butt on selling equipment these days - they take things back or replace them!...

newsfotos says "RIP craftsman brand" about Craftsman LTS 1500 17.5 HP/42" Lawn Tractor - CA

newsfotos — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 19:18:47 GMT

I'll grent that the unit's engine runs smooth. It is easy to use and has a nice tight turning radius. From there, it goes down hill...

I've become frustrated since this unit has repeated issues that should not be happening to a mower less than 2 years old.

The pins on the front steering have broken twice, steering wheel fell off, the muffler split in the middle of the pipe and the blade engage/disengage system sticks and leaves the blade running when it should be off. The safety switch under the seat is hit or miss.

This unit has had normal operational use and the level of repair is too high.

I suggest users look at another model or another brand.

May the real Craftsman name RIP.

This has been an amazing pressure washer. It has been as powerful as our commercial pressure washer.

The first time I used it the hose busted, costing me $109.00 to replace!!!!

lhpangler says "Second one, broke the same way" about Craftsman 2200 MAX PSI, 2.2 MAX GPM, Briggs & Stratton Powered Pressure Washer

lhpangler — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 14:44:48 GMT

This is my second sears pressure washer. Both units have failed in the same place. In the back, where you connect the water hose, "called the pump" in the parts diagram, is a hairline crack in the metal plate. This causes water to spray out of the pin size hole and the unit is unable to gather pressure. The part is not really user serviceable. Buyer beware on this one....

Texbbqchamp1 says "Buy a "Grill Gauge" instead" about GasWatch Propane Level Indicator & Safety Gauge

Texbbqchamp1 — Tue, 25 May 2010 12:06:51 GMT

I've owned every propane scale or gauge ever marketed and there's only ONE that is consistently reliable, works-on-demand, and low cost. It is called the 'Grill Gauge'. When I discoveed it was developed, used, and recommended by propane professionals I decided to spend the $14 and buy one. It truly is the best one out there because it is calibrated based on the 'weight' of the liquid propane in the tank - simple and effective! I bought mine at ACE but they are also sold at ******* and elsewhere. Save yourself the money and unreliability from the GasWatch device and buy the Grill Gauge instead!

Thank you,

ParttimeHandyman says "Mower has met my expections" about Craftsman LT 2000 20 HP 42" Lawn Tractor

ParttimeHandyman — Mon, 10 May 2010 15:31:35 GMT

I purchased the LT 2000 at my local Sears store in October of 2009 for a $1000. I got it home and all that was needed before it was ready to mow was tire pressure increased and the mowing deck adjusted. Correct tire pressure and proper setting of the mowing deck wheels ensures an even cut. It is now spring time and I have been mowing an acre of grass each week for several weeks now and the mower has been working great. It starts on the first turn of the key. The hydrostatic transmission operates smoothly and is a nice feature. The mower seems to have plenty of power which makes cutting tall grass an ease. The mower has been reliable and has meet most of my expectations to date.

cruzo says "its not bad" about Kenmore Red 3-Burner Gas Grill with Side Burner

cruzo — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 20:46:31 GMT

I bought this for $126 its the same one ,but blue.Well i put together myself,its took about 3 hours.Installation was not complicated,but instruction a little bit confusing in some points.When i pull from the box it was missing rubber guards on hood, but i went to sears ,and they provide me with new ones.When I finish installation,I decide to light it up.Its lights up quickly no problem so far.it was like 55 F outside it was a windy day, i was waiting for 15 minutes,the most temputer its get hot was 300F with hood close on hi settings,but when you open the hood in 2 minutes temp was drop to 250 F, I'm new to grilling ,and i never own grills, this is my first one,so i can't compare to other grills.I read some reviews, some people complain that its not get hot enough.I call Kenmore,and ask them what is maximum operating temp for this griil , they said 450F,then i said that my dont get more then 300 F, they said it because its cold outside . So im waiting to get 70F day and then try...

willie6498 says "not hot enough" about Kenmore Red 3-Burner Gas Grill with Side Burner

willie6498 — Sun, 18 Apr 2010 00:21:33 GMT

This grill is ok but does not get hot enough i've only gotten it to about 350 and thats pre heating it for 20 min seams like all the heat goes out the back. it's funny becuase the temp guage has sayings like 300-400 BBQ and 400-500 grill 500+ preheat and i can never get it above 350 so for steaks not too good burgers and dogs ok chicken is ok too. Also i allready had to replace the regulator thinking that might help the heating issue and no luck.

JohnInTx says "Powerful washer marred with low grade hose, hot restart trouble " about Craftsman 3000 MAX PSI, 2.7 MAX GPM, Briggs & Stratton Powered Pressure Washer

JohnInTx — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 02:16:14 GMT

This pressure washer was on sale and seemed like a good deal at under $400 out the door, including tax and a "free" 50 foot Sears garden hose. It went together readily with no issues, except the high pressure hose was defective out of the box. A call to the Sears pressure washer helpline at 1-800-222-3136 and another hose was shipped to me promptly - a Briggs & Stratton part. I have doubts about its durability, but so far, so good.

When cold, the pressure washer starts easily and is very powerful for a consumer unit - it did a good job cleaning the rocks on my retaining wall, and really cut through the grime on my driveway. (If you're going to be doing large flat surfaces, here's a hint: get yourself a surface cleaner. One of the big box home improvement stores has one for $69 at this writing that works very well with this unit, and is well over 5x faster than using the wand.)

My mother asked to try out the pressure washer - she's 80! - and she found that the required grip to keep the...
