Kobalt 40-Volt Max Yard Warrior Collection

I am amazed.

I will say this for the Lowe’s Loop folks with the review to follow. Please edit the review as you will, as I will give full review from my initial experience. I was amazed that you sent me something so expensive, but I have wanted to try this mower, but afraid it just wouldn’t work as advertised. Thank you! Actually, I didn’t believe it until the box appeared in my driveway! Review: I have titled this review, “I am amazed” and I will tell you why. First of all, for context, I have a 7 acre r...

Great Mower

I have been looking at battery powered mowers since last fall. I was using a Craftsman gas mower, works great and no problems with it. The Kobalt mower was delivered to the front door and the box was in excellent condition, no damage. It took all of 10 minutes to set the mower up right out of the box. I used the mower the day it was delivered; I dropped the battery in the charger and waited for the green light. We live in a sub-division that has small lots, so this is perfect for our yard. We...

> 1/4 acre lot? Get another battery (3AH or more)

Exceeded my expectations, initially bought it expecting to be returning it due to some concern over the 30 minute battery life. Pleasantly surprised to say this handles both my back and front yard on one charge with a bit of life left to spare on a 1/4 acre lot. Now, the reality is that anything other than light mulching or bagging with significantly lower the operation time of the mower. I tested this on an area behind our yard that was overgrown; after using a trimmer to knock down the tall ...

So-so product; I'd prefer a gas-powered machine

Fortunately for me, I bought a Kobalt blower at the same time I bought this edger, and the interchangeable battery that this Kobalt technician keeps touting as a selling point came with it. Lucky me, because like everyone else, I had no idea that a separate battery wasn't included for both tools. Accepting that surprise, I set out to use it, first by making sure the battery was fully charged. Now, granted, I hadn't yet edged the sidewalks in my new house, so the edging was past due. But a g...

Kobalt 40v Lawn Mower Long Term Review

Quick summary: Well-built mower with decent power and nice features. Battery doesn't last very long when cutting tall grass, so recommend more frequent cutting. My 0.25 acre yard would drain a whole 5.0ah battery if tall or wet. Full Review: I got this mower when it first came out, and have been using it ever since. I had the older twin-blade, dual battery Kobalt 40v mower before (as well as many gas powered ones), and this Brushless version is a big upgrade. Main advantage over gas powered is ...

My Back Loves it!

Back problems really made mowing my small (30’x 80’) lawn a chore. My gas powered pull start push mower is in good shape, but I wanted something that was self-propelled and eliminated the need for fuel and oil (see attached photo). I ordered the Kobalt 40v cordless because of its ability to self-propel, zero emissions and quick charge/long run battery features. Not to mention the 5 year tool and 3 year battery warranty. Thank goodness the product was packaged well, UPS was pretty rough with the ...

Great if you mow 3x a week

I wish that I had believed the reviews that I saw before I bought this product. Heres the deal: if you are a person with a very small lawn and the time to mow it two or three times a week, this is the product for you. It will do a fantastic job under those parameters. But, if you have a yard of any size and dont have time to mow it daily, forget it. This thing bogs down in grass that’s grown for barely a week. And when I say bogs down, I mean shuts off completely and has to be cleared out befo...

Kobalt 40 v self propelled mower

I recently bought this mower after my TroyBilt gas mower developed a split in it's deck. I already have the Kobalt 40V weedeater and I took this opportunity to go battery powered for my mower also. I'm a 66 year old retired teacher and my yard is about .9 acre that requires a 2.1 mile walk every time I cut it. Much of it is flat but there is a 30 yard long by 8 ft high steep hill Anywayon one side that drops down into a street vacated by the city and turned into a rain garden. The area beside th...

Great for a smaller yard, but will it last?

My 10 year old gas mower died so I thought I would see if electric mowers have improved since I stared into the mouth of madness trying mow my parents yard with a corded electric in the 90s. I'm glad to see great progress has been made, but will the battery last over time? On its first run the Blue Bomber performed perfectly. It has enough power to evenly mow the lawn with varying degrees of thickness and the self propulsion worked flawlessly and is a huge plus. The motor bumped up to its highe...

More time clearing than cutting

If you live in the humid south, don’t even look at this. I’ve had this for a little over 3 months. When I first got it, it was ok, took me 4 charges over 2 days to mow a 1/3 acre lot (this is rated 1\4-1\2 acre, so I thought I’d be good. So I cut for 30 minutes, wait 20-30 minutes for battery to cool, charge for 2x1/2 hours, repeat (front yard). Let I cool off, charge over night, Repeat day 1 for back yard. But that’s not the half of it. I typically mow for 60-90 seconds, stop the machine, cl...
