Would RecommendThis 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 RecommendThis 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 RecommendAs 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 RecommendThe 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 RecommendI 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...
Great for short people
Would RecommendIm a small female at only 5foot 2 i like that the size is adjustable. I cant compare it to others i haven’t used many other weed eater’s.

Trimmer made for a smaller yard
Would Not RecommendWhen 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 RecommendThis 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 RecommendI 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...
powerful just like my electric .80 black in decker
Would Recommendjust bought great better then the bumping type that jams up. the spool stays clean. battery lasts over 30 min. edger works great even cleans the weeds on cement hangs nice .I tried a round .80 line on it and it works but can't wind too much on
Great Battery Operated Edger!
Would RecommendAbsolutely 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...
Great unit for the price
Would RecommendEasy to set up an easy to use. The unit works perfectly, so far using g on a thick weed area that it cuts through with no problem.
New toys are and Adult Joy
Would RecommendI like that I own a impact wrench and a hedge trimmer that all use the same batteries. It works great!

Kobalt 2 in 1 String Trimmer
Would RecommendRecently 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...

With its lightweight design and user-friendly features, this trimmer makes tackling grass and weeds a breeze. Key Features Runtime: The included 3.0 Ah battery provides up to 35 minutes of runtime, allowing you to complete your trimming tasks without frequent recharges.

Great deal!
Would RecommendI’m really impressed with this 24V string trimmer! It’s lightweight, easy to handle, and the telescopic shaft makes it super comfortable to adjust for my height. The battery life is solid and lasts long enough to get my yard work done without interruptions. I love that it comes with both the battery and charger—no extra purchases needed. The brushless motor gives it great power, and it cuts through grass and weeds cleanly. Overall, it’s a reliable and convenient tool that makes yard work much ea...
