What Customers Are Saying
Customers are sharply divided on this trimmer. Many praise its lightweight design, ease of assembly, and dual trimming-edging functionality, finding it comfortable and ideal for small yards. However, nearly as many report severe battery issues—lasting only 10 to 20 minutes with 3.75-hour recharge times—forcing multiple battery purchases. Mechanical failures plague the product, with reviewers citing broken line feed systems, jammed spools, and failures after minimal use. Some note lack of power against thick grass and front-heavy balance. Despite positives, battery performance and durability concerns significantly undermine satisfaction.

This thing is not great
Would Not RecommendI have this weed-wacker for a little under a year. I bought it as part of a blower combo. The blower has been satisfactory. I also purchased a bush trimmer, as well, for an extra battery. Using 2 batteries I can get my 1/4 acre lot done (this includes trimming and blowing). The batteries do not last long. If you buy this you really need two, I wouldn’t try and go on just one. The weed-wacker itself has been nothing but trouble. The line never advances when it should. This makes edging a huge has...
The box lies
I bought this today, but it's going right back to the store tomorrow. The box says "Includes" and has pictures of the battery and a battery charger, so I naively thought there would be a charger in the box. Wrong: That's something I have to buy separately, for almost the same amount of money as I paid for the edger/trimmer! Not interested, sorry!
Hello AuntieP and thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. I'm sorry you weren't pleased with the CMST915C1 CRAFTSMAN V20 20-v...
poor performance
Would Not RecommendI should of read reviews prior to purchase, Battery charge only lasted about 10 minutes. I have zoyza grass and trimmer power is inadequate to cut. Motor is slowed down by this type of grass so it doesn't cut, it just mashes it down. Even trying to feed it slowly and not too deep into grass didn't help. I have a gas trimmer that has no trouble. I bought this trimmer so I wouldn't have use gas or an extension cord for a corded electric trimmer. Returned to lowes.
Good Trimmer
Would RecommendWorks well, get what you pay for. Battery a little short lasting, but works well.
Used 3 times and Line spool broke.
Would RecommendI’ve had an old Black and Decker 20v trimmer for 8 years. Bought the Craftsman to take to the campground, used it 3 time and the spools line lock broke. Buy something else besides this piece of crap.
