What Customers Are Saying
Customers praise the trimmer's lightweight design and ease of use, calling it ideal for small yards and quick touch-ups, especially for older users or those with limited strength. However, significant frustration centers on battery performance—many report runtime of only 15–20 minutes and defective chargers or batteries failing after minimal use. Several note insufficient cutting power for thick grass or tall weeds, describing it as weak for demanding tasks. Some report mechanical failures including broken auto-feed mechanisms and snapped plastic components. Despite convenience benefits, recurring reliability and power concerns temper overall satisfaction.
Customer review summary generated by AI, including incentivized reviews.I bought this a couple of years ago. Battery does not holdup. It will only last 15 or 20 min. I pretty much have to weed eat daily to just keep up. Thought about buying a new battery but you might as well buy a new weedeater.
Cheap Design
Would Not RecommendPoor Design. When it spins and tries to cut grass. The holes in which to cool the motor down. Grass gets caught up in it. Wraps around the spindle inside. Melted the spindle right off. The hard plastic over heats.

Very good lightweight choice.
I am used to gas powered models so this was a big switch, and you can't really compare the two. For my first battery electric model that I have ever used, it has performed wonderfully so far. The feed works very well, and it cuts very good for a small .065 single line. It's nice and light weight for easy handling. My only complaint is that the battery does not last as long as what I think a $130.00 battery replacement should last. I did find, and buy on Temu, 2 extra batteries of the exact ...

Box Dented
Would RecommendI did not open the box so I can't comment on the product, Craftsman Straight Shaft. I was disappointed that the box looked previously opened and dented in multiple places.

Charger for battery stopped working 4 months
Would Not RecommendPurchased June 2025 is by one and get one free never was able to use the head trimmers the battery to replace is went to the Lowes local - he said I am sorry nothing we can do... so the battery that charges the weed eater and hedge trimmers stopped working four months after we purchased it. This is not a good day. Also, I would not look at the discount of purchasing this item because the battery cost more than the weedeater to replace and you can't use the weedeater without the battery. Very uns...

Bad batter and wrong charger
Would Not RecommendI opened the box up Yesterday. Got a bad battery. Have the wrong charger that came in the box. I have the charger plugged in. There should be a light coming saying it’s charging. It doesn’t. Plus I hold down the botton to tell me. Also what the picture shows what type of charger I get. I don’t get the right charger.
