Great trimmer for the price. Starts up easy and powerful for yard trimming..
For the price, it functions as one would expect. It is a bit hard to start, even after following the printed instructions (on the machine itself) to the letter. Also, if you get into heavy or high grass/weeds, it will bog down, and you have to back up and let the head catch up to speed to be effective. It idles rough, and has a slight miss to it. Will replace the plug to see if that cures it. Make sure you purchase an extra roll of string, as this one is only has enough in the spool for about 3 uses. As soon as the string ran out, I put an aftermarket head on it - the PivoTrim head. Do yourself a favor and buy the premix 40:1 gas they sell - it is ethanol free, which will mess these small engines up.

Either underpowered or has a drive shaft clutch that slips under a load. Just cutting slightly thick weeds causes the spool to slow which causes the trim line to go slack rendering it ineffective. Takes twice as long and uses twice the gas. A huge disappointment over my last Craftsman trimmer.

Lightweight. Good value. Gets the job done.

When cutting high grass the grass wraps around the shaft between the outer spool and the shaft. It accumulates and eventually stops the spool from turning. It's difficult to get the grass out from in between the spool and the shaft because the opening between them is so small. I've had two Craftsman gas weed whackers before and never had this problem.

My husband wore out his last weedwacker which was similar to this one. It did a good job and this one seems to be fine.

Gas leak while I was using it. Tightening the cap did not stop the leak.I wrapped white tap around the thread and it stopped leaking. I suspect a gasket is messing. Hard to control speed.

I used this weedwacker every week last spring, summer, fall and it's been great. Starts easy and chews thru weeds!
