The Craftsman WS2200 is a gas-powered straight-shaft string trimmer with a 1.5 cu in engine, a 17-inch cutting swath and a 52-inch shaft. Its standout feature is electric start, which replaces the usual pull cord with a push-button start and removes the hardest part of owning a gas trimmer. It suits homeowners with a large yard who want gas power without the pull-cord routine. Against the usual 25cc-class gas trimmers, it gives up some displacement, so thick brush and heavy overgrowth are better left to a brush cutter, but it is lighter and easier to start than most of them.

Owners of gas trimmers in this class generally value easy starting above all, and the WS2200's push-button start is the feature most often singled out. Feedback on the rest of the trimmer is more even: it cuts lawn grass well, but users pushing it into heavy weeds report it bogs down.
