Ratings & Reviews for Kobalt Gen4 40-volt 15-in Straight Shaft Battery String Trimmer
Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
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.
