What Customers Are Saying

The Kobalt cordless string trimmer offers a powerful 80V brushless motor that can handle thick weeds and tall grass effectively, comparable to gas-powered models. It features a long-lasting 2.5Ah battery with quick recharging, providing over an hour of runtime. The lightweight and well-balanced design is easy to maneuver, though some users find it a bit heavy. The trimmer operates quietly and offers adjustable handle and two speed settings for good control and flexibility. However, some users struggled with restringing the trimmer head, and there are concerns about the availability of replacement parts and long-term durability.

Great power of battery operated

Would Recommend

This trimmer has the power I had hoped for. Only used once at this point but pleased and would recommend. The reason I gave 4 stars is the delivery was not predictable. Did not arrive when originally told, took a couple of days to give an update, then did not arrive on the date given.

still waiting

Would Not Recommend

ordered this trimmer 2 weeks ago with an estimated (per website) delivery of 4 days from time of order. When I check tracking, a new 'delayed' note appears. Three 'delayed' notices later....no trimmer, no status, plenty of weeds

Expensive Junk

Would Not Recommend

The spool popped off, and an eyelet got lost. You can't buy just that part. The head doesnt come off easily, but if you get it off, you can't buy a replacement. I went to Lowe's, helped get the head off, but the replacement heads will NOT work.
