What Customers Are Saying
The electric mower offers good performance, with quiet operation, powerful motors, and long battery life. It is maneuverable and can handle hilly, uneven terrain well. However, some users have experienced issues with the mower failing to start or work properly, and have concerns about the durability of plastic components and battery replacement. Overall, the mower appears suitable for smaller to medium-sized yards, but may struggle with larger properties or very tall/dense grass.

I would not have purchased the mower had I known that the bagger would be unavailable and not back in stock. I love the mower but needed the bagger almost as bad as the mower. Now I'm stuck with an expensive mower and can't purchase a bagger for it.
So much more than a mower
My Review of the Kobalt 42” Lawn Tractor As someone who hasn’t quite bought in to the Electric vehicle craze due to range restrictions and high costs, let me assure you how differently I feel when it comes to battery powered lawn care equipment. Its quieter. It’s cheaper to operate. It doesn’t annoy the neighbors. No smelly smoke and it’s always going to start…just press a button and off you go. So when I saw that Lowe’s and Kobalt had a new riding lawn mower I was intrigued. Ok to be honest. M...

On sale after I bought it, but still great.
It was bum luck, but the price on this as I write this review is slashed by about 14% compared to what I paid a couple weeks ago. Nevertheless, I am happy with the purchase and only wish I had a larger yard. My lot is one acre, and a large portion of it is grass, but there is still plenty of charge, to the point that I will only need to charge it every other use for both the front and back yards. That's with high blade speed, by the way. In addition to mowing, I have used it with a yard sweeper,...

Missing parts and poor customer service
Poor customer service: I had delivery scheduled, got a confirmation the night before, then a text message the day of delivery stating that I was the next stop. Six hours later nobody showed up, and I spent 45 minutes on the phone, being passed around, with a guarantee that someone would be in touch. Nobody called, no explanation. Next delivery rescheduled worked fine, but it was missing parts. Again I needed to call, got passed around, with promises that someone would be in touch. True to form...

A bit clunky, but a good cutter
I had a competitor's brand of electric mower (32" cut) for the last 3.5 years - when the batteries started going bad, and they discontinued it. This assembled unit was delivered courteously by two good gents. This unit is a 40" cut, and altogether a larger/wider/heavier machine (500+lbs vs 200lbs). The controls and instructions are a little vague, but everything requires mashing the brake first. I have the seat all the way forward, but have to strain to engage the very heavy brake so that I...
First acre cut
first off, so far so good. Purchasing and delivery went without a hitch so good first impression. It came at 30% charge so I charged to 90% before play around for a few minutes to make sure everything worked and it all did. The next day after moving the scalping wheels down a notch( I cut at 4") I cut just a small patch to test cutting quality and speed as well as the cruise control, again all went well. today I cut at lest an acre and again all went well. it was a little jarring over rough...
Loving this mower! Smell the grass not the gas.
I was tired of fighting with my JD yard tractor every mowing season. 2 years ago I made the decision to start migrating to electric and bought the 40V line of Kobalt lawn tools. (Push mower, weed eater, blower, pole saw, chainsaw and all have performed exceptionally well). So I took the 3K plunge and bought the lawn tractor and it has exceeded performance expectations. It has a wider cutting deck than my JD, able to climb hills while cutting where my JD couldn't, and one of my favorite things is...

horrible product horrible service
I bought this back in April and already the lithium battery is dead. Lowe's delivered it and now they refuse to pick it up saying I have to bring it into a store even though I got it delivered because I have no way of getting it to a store. the customer service when I called was very rude as well

Horrible Kobalt Customer Service
Assembled unit was dropped off on June 27. I charged it overnight and today tried to use it. Confirmed that it was 100% charged, but it would not start. I went through all trouble shooting comments with no luck. When I called Customer Service, the woman, who spoke broken English, told me she couldn't do anything if I went through the list of trouble shooting. I asked if there was anyone I could talk to see if I was doing anything wrong; she stated they did not provide that service. The mow...

Seriously?
Lowes delivered this tractor without a manual or any instructions on how to use it. The tractor was filthy, and I'm pretty sure they sold me a used item that they passed-off as new. The delivery driver just pushed it off the truck and said "have a nice day," and left. I opened a customer service chat, and the attendant had no idea of how to locate the manual. Their excuse was that they looked at the Lowes website, and couldn't find it. Really? We found some Lowes service videos on YouTube, and f...
