Ratings & Reviews for Kobalt Gen4 40-volt 15-in Straight Shaft Battery String Trimmer

What Customers Are Saying
The battery-powered trimmer provides good performance for most residential yard work, with a long-lasting battery, two speed settings, and a relatively lightweight and easy-to-use design. It cuts through grass and weeds effectively, though may struggle with thicker vegetation. The main drawbacks are the difficulty in restringing the trimmer head and the lack of availability for replacement parts. Overall, it is a solid choice for homeowners with small to medium-sized yards who want the convenience of a cordless trimmer.

Not good even for temporary use
Would Not RecommendExtremely POOR!! Does not run full power with load. Only when "cutting" air. Short 20-30 max run time. Unable to load string when reloading. Spring too hard & won't snap back together. Must be a "one spool" use & then exchange for replacement unit. STAY AWAY or find out for yourself.

If you don't know ask!
Would RecommendI couldn't get the part I needed for my old weed eater so I talked to the customer service person and he showed me this one that would work also for my Cobalt lawn mower. So I didn't have to buy a new battery for the lawn mower. Great service!
