What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this cordless string trimmer for its powerful brushless motor, lightweight design, and dual-speed control that rivals gas-powered models. Most highlight exceptional performance on thick weeds, fence lines, and brush up to an inch thick, with many noting it outperforms previous gas trimmers. The lightweight frame reduces fatigue, while the snap-in head and bump-feed spool with 0.095" line enhance ease of use. Customers appreciate battery compatibility with existing systems and report sufficient charge after completing full yards. A few mention battery life concerns, but overall reviewers consider this a reliable, low-maintenance replacement for gas equipment.

Better than expected! More powerful than others!

Would Recommend

*Attachment-capable design allows the power head to be used with other attachments (edger, blower, etc.). *This string trimmer is designed as a replacement for a gas powered trimmer with the 48 volt (2 x 24v batteries) brushless motor offering heavy duty performance in a lighter weight tool. Electric trimmers eliminate mixing gas and oil and the fumes associated with gas trimmers plus the engine noise. The Kobalt trimmer performs very well for residential grass & light weed trimming but like mo...

Right tool for the job

Would Recommend

I have a zero-turn lawnmower for my large yard, but needed a weed eater to work the many areas I could not easily reach with the lawnmower. This model was the perfect choice: it is powerful, relatively lightweight, the batteries last a long time and charge quickly. I also use it for edging and it does a great job. I am very satisfied with my purchase.

powerful

I have a 40cc gas weedeater and this new 48v max weedeater will out perform it in every way. I was already committed to the 24v battery platform and now that they have these new tools, I can get 40v power without having to buy different batteries. I got the brush cutter attachment and its powerful enough to cut through inch plus brush. love this tool.

Handy Trimmer

Would Recommend

I have a small-sized yard and got this trimmer to replace my old one. I really like it. The batteries have enough charge for me to do my whole yard. It is lighter than my old gas trimmer and is easy to operate. It comes with two batteries and two power levels to select from. I use both power levels, the 1 speed level on my flower beds and trees and 2 level on everything else. I was able to use it as an edger on my front sidewalk. It is well built and easy to assemble. It took me about fifteen mi...

Great trimmer!

Would Recommend

Battery life was great. Weeded two yards on the ‘1’ setting and only used one bar of battery life. Even on ‘1’ there was plenty of power to get the job done. I do wish the guard was bigger as debris got thrown back against my legs but other than that, it’s great!

Good quality replacement for a gas trimmer

Would Recommend

I ordered this to replace a gas powered trimmer, of which I've had two of in the past three years. I have a larger yard than most in my neighborhood so I've figured gas would be the best option for power and performance, but this Kobalt 48v trimmer has proved me wrong. Unpacking and setting it up took me less than five minutes, and charging the batteries with the included USB-C charger took less than an hour. It came with a USB-C 65w power brick charger and another one that slides over the top o...

Big FAN!!

Would Recommend

I'm a big fan of this battery powered weed eater! I have a really big yard, and battery powered options have just not worked in the past, however I was able to use this one for about 20 minutes, with it mostly on the higher speed setting. And it had plenty of power to get through some thick stuff! I plan to get another set of batteries to allow for additional time. (Pro tip - shift the grab handle forward to help the balance and not put as much strain on the back hand.) With both two power ...

Great Replacement for Gas Powered Trimmer

Would Recommend

This battery trimmer will replace a gas powered unit that had become more difficult to maintain to run smoothly. The new battery trimmer runs great with two speed settings as well as variable speed based on the pressure on the trigger. It is weighted a bit differently, but that should be easy to get used to. The biggest plus is as long you have a battery charge, you just pick it up and it's ready to go. I tested it for about fifteen minutes and did not have to bump at all to advance the line, s...

This battery operated weed eater is so convenient.. it comes with two batteries and the USB cables to charge them. I think if you needed to charge and had no electricity..you could charge them with solar or a generator
