What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise the trimmer's lightweight, ergonomic design and strong battery performance, with most noting it handles easily for extended periods and delivers surprising power for medium-sized yards. The cordless convenience and quiet operation are widely appreciated. However, many report frustrations with the line feed mechanism, requiring frequent manual adjustments or spool cover removal. Despite this notable drawback, most customers find it a reliable, powerful alternative to gas models and consider it worthwhile for regular yard maintenance.

Excellent choice for battery powered string trimme

Very happy with the purchase. The motor is pretty quiet and seems to last long enough to take care of both the front and back yard (over 45 minutes on the lower setting at least with not straining at all). For the hand guard it actually feels more comfortable if you reverse on install.

CMCST901 doesn't line auto feed

Would Not Recommend

Purchased Craftsman CMCST901 string trimmer/edger. I love the features on this however brand new right out of the box it did not auto line feed. Took back to Lowes and it was replaced, same problem. This model has a design error I would not recommend this product. Its sad as I am a loyal Craftsman customer but when they sell a company quality is always victim

I have only been able to use this once but it is a hassle. I will be bringing it back. It is not a tap and go, but instead, has a button to feed the line. THIS NEVER WORKS. Craftsman used to be a good product but I will not buy this brand again. My brother also has the same model and the feed doesn't work on his either. You have to stop work, take the top off of the line spool and pull it out.

Fully expected to not like it... and I was WRONG.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used a gas powered Stihl string trimmer for virtually all of my adult life. While I've really never had a problem there, I did grow tired of the maintenance... making sure I had gas and oil, treating gas in the winter, etc. When I finally did have a problem with that trimmer, I took a look at the Craftsman v20 line. I already had a number of Craftsman v20 tools, so it made sense. I settled on this model, and I was fully prepared to not...
