    I love my Lawn Sweeper. April 06, 2011

    This is a great product. I wish I had always owned one. It saves me hours of break breaking work and I would recommend any homeowner with a large yard to make sure they purchase one immediately.

    It performs much better than expected. I am able to sweep my entire lawn in uner 1 hour and it leaves my yard looking like a professional came in and did all the work.

    We use the sweeper to pick clippings, debris and leaves. It makes what would take hours a small job done in minutes.

    Craftsman Professional 44" Lawn Sweeper Sears# 24229 March 14, 2011

    I do not own this sweeper, but let's just say I assemble them for a company who sells them. Out of the box it seems very heavy duty and durable, but it has a few quality problems.

    The 3 good things I found were that the bag attachment design to the hopper is pretty clever, and seems durable-basically a spring loaded lock bar. The hopper itself is wide, and appears to be of durable construction.

    There are 4 quality problems I found while assembling, and they all were associated with the bag assembly. First, installing the stability bar (the one across the front), the holes weren't even big enough for the bar. I had to bore them out with a drill so the rod went through. Second, the webbing that the bar goes through started to tear. If this happens just in assembly, I can't see it lasting too long out there on the lawn. Third, the bag support design is in my opinion very "lazy". The 2 rods are to be bent to fit in the holes in the top and bottom support tubes. The problem is that they are not secured to the bag in any way...they swing out and come out of the holes very easily. That gets irritating having to keep putting them back in. Lastly, the clip that holds the dump handle in place to the support bar snapped in half on assembly. It appears to be very fragile, cheap plastic. At least it's only $2 for a new one.

    This monster pick up everything! November 20, 2011
    By SnappyHome of Ann Arbor, Michigan
    Pros:
    heavy duty construction,Nice bag attachment design to hopper
    Cons:
    Bag support rods flimsy & unsecured

    I chose the Pro version of the carftsman sweeper because my yard is craggy and uneven. I drive a lawn tractor ithe a 54" deck on 2 acres of lawn sprinkled with mature trees. I have a lot of sticks and small rocks so I wanted something really sturdy that I didn't have to baby. I'm not good at maintenance or neccessarily following directions so I worried that it would be hard to put togethere and difficult to set up to work with my mower....it WASN'T. It only took me about 20 minutes to put together and hitch up and I was soon sweeping like a demon! This sweeper picked up EVERYTHING - small rocks, sticks and lots of leaves. Even when I hit areas of my lawn that were a bit damp...it pulled up wet leaves and clumps just as well. I am really happy with it. The only diffisulty I had was the 2 flimsy rod supports that are in the back of the bag support frame - they kept falling out. I used it all day without them and then made my own out of wooden dowel rods, slightly longer, but they stayed in place better. When I was done I unhitched and with a few motions folded it up to tuck it out of the way.

    Craftsman Proffessional 44" High Speed Universal Tow Sweeper November 07, 2011
    By sphillip of Portage, MI
    Pros:
    It does a good job

    We've owned our sweeper for a few years now. You need to know how to use and adjust the sweeper in order for it to work well. When my husband first put it together, I noticed it not working quite right so I took a closer look and noticed a problem with his assembly. Once fixed, it worked like a champ. We have lost a few parts along the way but we're pretty hard on it as well. One thing nice about any craftsman product is the ease of getting parts. We have a large yard (2 acres) and use it basically to sweep up acorns in the fall prior to the trees losing all their leaves and to clean the yard in the spring. It's too small for picking up all our leaves because we have a lot of trees (over 15) and are next to the woods but it does a great job of cleaning the lawn.

    Highly recommend the Craftsman 44" Sweeper. Lives up to the name October 14, 2011
    By jadams976 of Somonauk, IL
    Pros:
    heavy duty construction,Nice bag attachment design to hopper,Wide stance,hopper stays up off the ground,Sturdy axle assembly,superb product,The basket brackets lock securely.,It does a good job
    Cons:
    Cant disengage gears,Dump handle too low

    This sweeper does a great job. It takes a bit of trial and error to find the correct height to use. Being very mechanically inclined I was supprised when a a couple of times I had back up a step or two because of very unclear insturctions. It still only took me 20 to 30 minutes to assemble and hook to my tractor. I highly recommend this sweeper.

    Not anywhere near as good as my Grandfather's International. September 26, 2011
    By FJRitz of Chicora, PA

    It is ok, much better than the lower priced "Craftsman" I had to return because I couldn't even make one full pass around the yard before it fell apart again...It is no where even close to being as good as the International one I inherited from my Grandfather years ago.
