Review on Craftsman 42-Inch Hi-Speed Tow Lawn Sweeper, CMXGZBF7124266 Width Red by Alicia Pittmon

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I need to read directions and pay closer attention to loose floating parts.

I’ll start with: the lawn sweeper works well (now that it’s all together). When it arrived the box was slightly damaged, but no more then I would expect for something of this size. Opened it up and found a random 4 inch bolt lodged between parts that were already assembled. Scratched up the paint (but I figure it’s a yard tool, who cares about scratches) and I couldn’t see where that piece went. Found two sets of parts (bolts, pins, etc) which is kind of handy when things break. Took me almost 3 hours to assemble (put it together and took it apart like 3 times, but my own fault for just glancing at the pictures and not really READING the directions). Got it hooked up behind the lawn mower and almost immediately found out where that original mystery bolt belonged when one of the wheels fell off. It seemed to have come loose in shipping and the corresponding nut, washer and cap were lost in between here and there during shipping. Took a little bit of problem solving and wheel was re-attached with scavenged parts from the neighbor’s garage. But like I said, once it was completely assembled, it works well.

Pros
  • The sweeper folds up neatly for storage, taking up minimal space in your garage or shed
Cons
  • Not very useful in winter – it's not suitable for cleaning snow or ice
