So far, pretty good.
I bought this about 6 months ago and it works pretty well, especially for the price point. The only complaint I would have is at times, it's a little hard to start.

Seems fine at first but after a year its junk
I have had this weed eater ~ 1-2 years and its already broken. Besides not wanting to run at full throttle the pull start is broke. Apparently this is really common but if you dont have a warranty its a min of $70 just for sears to look at it. PLus parts and any additional labor. Save your money and buy a echo or stihl.

Weedwacker Gas Trimmer

I've used this twice now. Easiest trimmer to start I have ever owner. Great quality. The only problem is it's the heaviest trimmer I ever owned. I am actually thinking of taking it back and exchanging for something else. That is the problem of ordering something over th Internet and you don't have it in your hands beforehand. If it wasn't so heavy I'd love it.

Lemon

I bought this one last year. Worked good in tough grass. Just don't have same feel and other weedeaters I have had in past. I must have gotten a Lemon because this year it got hard to crank. Finally would not crank at all. Presently is has been shipped back for repair.

Not worth the hassel

This weed eater is hard to start an heavy. I had to pull many times to start it. Then when i was using it it would bog down easily. It stalled many times during lite use. I was not happy with this and will be returning it.

Lasts one year

It worked fine for one year. I bought this in March 2012 and it trimmed the edges fine. Cranked it up for the first time in 2013 and after five minutes the head stopped spinning. I opened up the gearbox and the gear is worn off right above where the head is. It looks like the gear is made of aluminum or some soft allow. Another issue is this weedeater runs backwards from standard ones. That means that when the head needs replacing you'll have to buys Craftsman-not a generic. The threads are standard instead of reverse thread like most cutters.

Great trimmer

Bought this trimmer last year and it works great. Only complaint is that the bump feature to give you more line stopped working after only 5 times using it, now have to manually pull line out as needed. All in all a good trimmer for the price. It started right up after winter and has been cutting thick brush, with just the string, like a champ. Very ahppy with this purchase, even though some have gotten some defective units.

I would recommend this product to a friend.

31cc. for a medium duty's excellent, detachable, so one tool does it all, light weight for those who work long period of time like me can't ask for better. Over all, im happy with this item and, you will too.
