Worth The Cost, Works Above Its Class

Would Recommend

This is way more powerful than I expected it to be for a battery powered trimmer and edger. The edging works pretty well but the place we moved to had some seriously overgrown sidewalks. This got 95% of it done in one pass. I went back to the stubborn areas a second time and it cut right through.

Lightweight and easy to use!

Would Recommend

This Kobalt string trimmer and edger is a great multi-purpose tool. It is lightweight and easy to use — very manageable for anyone. The battery—which does not take long to charge—and the battery charger are included. The length of the trimmer is easy to adjust, and the trimmer can be switched quickly to be used as an edger. The only cons are that the string has to be advanced manually, and a couple of the assembly instruction steps were not very clear. Overall, I highly recommend this trimme...

Adjustable trimmer/edger allows for a perfect fit

Would Recommend

As a long time homeowner who takes pride in his lawn’s appearance, I was skeptical that the Kobalt 24-Volt String Trimmer/Lawn Edger could do all that my traditional gas trimmer/edger does. I was pleasantly surprised that not only can it do all the same jobs as the gas unit, but it does some better with less noise, fumes and all the headaches that come with mixing fuel. The machine has many adjustment points built in it. You can adjust the length of the trimmer shaft and the trimmer head pivot...

Kobalt 24 Volt String Trimmer

Would Recommend

The Kobalt 24 Volt battery operated string trimmer was all that I expected for it to be and more. The trimmer is made of durable, light weight materials. I used it continually for more than 30 minutes on a single charge and I never got fatigued at all. There is about a foot difference between my wife and myself in height, so the telescoping shaft makes it easy for either one of us to comfortably use the trimmer. The trimmer is powerful enough to cut through thick grass and small yaupon saplings ...

Works well and battery charge lasts.

Would Recommend

I used this edger/trimmer on my yard which covers 3/4 of an acre, most of which is fenced and has several structures and a pool that require edging and trimming. I normally split my mowing effort into two days, one day for the front yard and one day for the back. I was concerned that the battery charge would not be sufficient to last but I had no issues once it was fully charged. I don’t like the two-part battery charger set up because it never seemed to charge the battery. The instructions were...

Trimmer made for a smaller yard

Would Not Recommend

When weed eating around my house, I usually use an electric trimmer where you have to pull out miles of extension cords so I was so excited to get the Kobalt 24 volt 2 in 1 battery powered string trimmer. Everything that you need is included in the box except for a screwdriver. The instructions were difficult to follow with the assembly of the flower guard, trimmer guard, and edger wheel to the trimmer. The illustrations in the manual were small, in black and white, and difficult to follow bu...

Great home use Trimmer

Would Recommend

This weed eater is noticeably lighter than the one I used before, which makes a big difference during use. It’s easy to handle and maneuver, and the adjustable push-button feature is really convenient for switching between trimming and edging. I also liked that it came pre-strung, so it was ready to go right out of the box. Charging is simple, and the battery seems to last well. Assembly was minimal and straightforward. Pros: Lightweight, easy to assemble, user-friendly Cons: The flower bed gua...

Nice lightweight trimmer

Would Recommend

I have to start this review by saying the instruction manual is AWFUL. The illustrations are so tiny, they're almost impossible to see. There are also no instructions at all for using the plastic blades, as in, how to use them or why, or how to install them. If you don't already know that they are for heavier grass and brush, you might be led to believe they are for edging, and that's not what they are for. That said, if you've ever assembled an electric string trimmer before, most of it will be...

Great Battery Operated Edger!

Would Recommend

Absolutely love this edger! I have other Kobalt battery operated tools and they never disappoint! This is such a convenient, easy to use edger! Threading the cord is easy to do. There’s a button (circled in picture) to get it back on track… you can’t do that by tapping it on the ground but it’s a minor issue and probably saves the parts from additional damage. The battery charges fairly quickly and with the other Kobalt tools I have this 24v battery is interchangeable with them - so it’s super n...

Kobalt 2 in 1 String Trimmer

Would Recommend

Recently I was in need of a new landscaping trimmer/edger to replace the battery operated trimmer I have been using for the past couple of years. The existing battery operated trimmer I was using was adequate but did not seem powerful enough to tackle larger weeds and grass with roots. I considered purchasing a gas trimmer/edger but did not want to deal with worrying about the oil and gas required with a gas trimmer. I looked at several products and decided to try the Kobalt 24v battery opera...
