  • Our take on the Craftsman WS2200

    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.

    Best forHomeowners with large yards and long fence linesBuyers who dislike pull-starting gas enginesTrimming and edging around lawns and drivewaysOccasional users who want gas power without the fuss

    What reviewers say

    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.

    What people mention
    • StartingPraisedOwners like that the electric start fires the engine without repeated pulling.
    • Cutting powerMixedIt handles lawn grass and light weeds well but bogs down in thick growth.
    • WeightPraisedAround 12.8 lb, it is easy to carry through a full trimming session.
    • MaintenanceCriticisedGas upkeep, from fuel mixing to seasonal storage, is the main complaint.
    • BuildMixedOwners find the trimmer serviceable but not as sturdy as pro-grade gas units.

    Questions and answers

    Is the electric start worth it over a pull-start trimmer?
    For most homeowners, yes. Push-button starting removes the repeated pulling that makes gas trimmers frustrating, especially after winter storage.
    Can it handle thick brush and tall weeds?
    Only light growth. The 1.5 cu in engine is sized for lawn grass and edging; heavy brush needs a larger engine or a dedicated brush cutter.
    What kind of fuel does it use?
    It is a gasoline engine, so it runs on a gas and two-stroke oil mix. Check the manual for the exact ratio before filling.
    How long is the shaft and what does that mean?
    The shaft is 52 inches, which is long enough for taller users to stand upright and reach under fences and shrubs without bending.
    Does it come with the cutting line and starter battery?
    Trimmers in this line typically ship with a spool of line and the electric-start components. Confirm the box contents for the specific listing before buying.
    How does it compare with a cordless trimmer?
    It has more sustained power and no recharge wait, but it is louder, heavier and needs fuel and engine maintenance. Cordless suits small yards better.
