What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this compact electric trimmer as powerful, lightweight, and versatile for residential yard care. Most highlight exceptional cutting performance that handles thick weeds and dense growth with ease, noting the 24-volt brushless motor delivers surprising power for a cordless design. The telescoping shaft and 7-position pivoting head allow personalized adjustments for users of all heights. Battery life impresses most, with fast USB charging enabling full yard sessions on a single charge. Reviewers consistently describe the build as durable and well-made, with thoughtful features like auto-feed line and dual wheels for edging. A few note minor issues with line advancement or assembly clarity, but overall customers consider it an excellent alternative to gas-powered equipment.

Very good trimmer

Would Recommend

I haven't rated it higher, as I have only used the trimmer twice. So far it exceeds my expectations. After a year of use I may write a second review.

Strong

Would Recommend

From using it the first time I was very surprised by its strength. I didn't expect a battery operated weed eater to function so well.

Great compact electric trimmer

Would Recommend

Not shabby. For a compact electric trimmer this things works pretty well! I imagine that for the average home this trimmer is all you would need. I had no problems trimming grass areas that the mower didn’t reach (corners, edges, etc.) and I thought it performed edging quite well. It’s light weight and balanced enough that it’s easy to switch from trimming to edging. I also love that it came with plastic trimmer blades if you’d prefer that over string but I’m a string fan. The battery charger an...

easy to use trimmer

Would Recommend

Use it on the ditch for road. Use to think I needed a heavy gas trimmer. Older and wiser. I really like the adjustable angle cutter head for different terrains upslope or downslope. Really makes a smoother cut.

Great little trimmer!

This trimmer works great! I used it around my yard and it has all the power I need to cut the grass and weeds. The only problem I have is that it doesn't quite extend out far enough for a tall guy. The battery seems to hold up for a good amount of time.

My First Battery String Trimmer

Would Recommend

I chose the Kobalt 24-volt 12-in Telescopic Shaft Battery String Trimmer because of the great experience I have had with other Kobalt battery operated outdoor tools. I was hoping for less noise and ease of use for trimming around the house after mowing. The trimmer was shipped to the house quickly. It was undamaged and well packaged. I opened the box and removed the contents. Unlike many products, the assembly instructions were not great, but I eventually figured it out. There was also a screw ...

Amazing quality made precise trimmer/edger!

Would Recommend

Really loving this trimmer / edger! Out-of-the-box, you get just a few minimal parts for a super easy & quick assembly. The trimmer & parts seem very durable & quality made. For the price, it's a great deal! I've already used it all over the yard (from sidewalk edging to trimming around fences, trees, etc.) It's really lasted well in maintaining my lawn neatly. Incredible how neatly it trims & so precisely edges. Please check out all my pictures so you can see what I mean. It comes with ...

Great product and price

Would Recommend

Versatile use for edging and trimming of course, string lasted 10x longer than I thought it would. It’s comfortable, not too heavy, changes from trimmer to edger easily. 10/10 and my wife likes to use it as well.

Small but powerful

Would Recommend

Small battery but powerful tool. Easy assembling takes about 15 minutes. The button that allows it to go from an edger to weed eater is nice touch and to feed the line is also simple and easy. Nice product overall. For a small yard this is all you need.

Quite and powerful trimmer!

Would Recommend

This string trimmer is very lightweight and even though it is 24Volt it’s very powerful. I love the features that are equipped with this trimmer. You have wheels to help guide you to edge, you can easily take off the shield if need be . Also, the telescoping shaft makes it easier for my wife to adjust to her height. The brushless motor is quiet so I can start my yard work in the morning without annoying my neighbors!

Got to try this edger

Would Recommend

I’ve transitioned most my landscaping tools to Battery powered now. These Kobolt battery powered landscaping tools are great! Before this edger I’ve bought a line trimmer and a chainsaw. They are very powerful and always dependable. I highly recommend them. Kobolt is a brand I trust. The battery for this has the same charger as my phone. So much more convenient. The straight lines on the edge of my lawn are a real game changer in professional maintenance!

Nice electric weed eater

Would Recommend

I got this weed eater because I've been in need of one for quite a while to clean up the edges of the lawn that the lawnmower doesn't reach. I've owned one electric weed eater previously, so I expected this one to be most likely similar in weight and noise level. This one was actually lighter in weight, and very quiet when in use. Assembly was straight forward, just involving attaching the guard. All you will need is a Philips screwdriver. It includes the option of using plastic blades, instead...

Kobalt 24-volt string trimmer

Would Not Recommend

I'm taking this product back today, April 10, 2026, for a full refund. For me, it's a terrible product. I will continue with a gas version.
