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.

Perfect 40v trimmer
Would RecommendI bought this for my son in law. It has really good battery life, and it’s super easy to see where the charge is at. It’s a fantastic trimmer. It’s unfortunate that the refills are discontinued. Still worth the money, because it’s a fantastic trimmer.

I received either the floor model or a return
Would Not RecommendLowe's shipped me either the floor model or a return. Screws half in and holes stripped. Product packaging just tossed in the box. Box ripped up. It was a lot of money for me to have to repair what I got to be able to use it.

Check The Box
Well first I had to return the first purchase because someone had returned it for not working. I have a Kobalt tree saw and love it so I needed a weed eater and was tired of having to mix oil and gas. When I got the new one back home it worked great. Little heavier than expected but manageable.
