What Customers Are Saying
Customers praise the trimmer for powerful cutting performance, lightweight design, and quiet operation that rivals gas models without fumes or mixing hassles. Many find the brushless motor handles thick grass smoothly on both settings, with ergonomic build ideal for extended use. Battery life concerns exist, with some reporting 25-45 minutes per charge while others experience shorter runtime, though many consider this sufficient for typical yards, especially with a spare battery. The bump-feed spool and V20 compatibility are appreciated, though a few note spool loading awkwardness. Overall, most reviewers recommend it despite minor durability questions.

Would RecommendThis trimmer works great. I wanted something light and easy to use for light trimming when I didn’t want to use my large 4 stroke trimmer but find myself using this trimmer most of the time. It is lightweight, quiet, and works better than I ever thought a battery powered trimmer would work. Battery life is also better than I was expecting.

Nice weedwacker
Would RecommendI have a 3/4 acre yard and found this product worked good. I use it for spot trimming in the yard. Battery life was good. Just grab and go. No cords or gas to mess with. I haven’t tried cutting a field of weeds. For my needs it has been great.

Great weed eater
I bought this weed eater to supplement lawn mowing. I didn’t want a gas model and after researching several brands I chose this one. I like the two power settings and the variable speed and it being brushless.

Broken right out the box
Would Not RecommendNot sure how the battery or power are as the spool cover broke right out of the box. The clips holding the bump cover in would not click in and when I tried to hold it in the clip cracked. Not a good sign for a bump-and-go design. Instructions are not great either for assembly. Returning and hoping for better luck with house brand Kobalt.
