Kobalt push 40 volt max review full#

But if you consider you get a battery and charger with each, the price is reasonable.įor the quality of all three and what comes with the OPE tools, I think Kobalt priced these right and is a good deal for homeowners. If you look at the blower and the trimmer, you might think it’s a lot, which it is. I think the mower is easily worth the $550 as it’s quality and produces results. Kobalt 80V Review ValueĪs far as pricing, the mower runs about $550 at Lowes, the string trimmer runs about $230 with a battery and charger and the blower is also $230 with battery and charger. It was easy to work with and move around.

When on full speed, I didn’t have the feeling of having to fight the blower. It will easily blow off walks, driveways, gutters and more. The head uses a bump feed system to let out more line. The string doesn’t spin as fast with speed 1 and will also increase the run time of the trimmer. Speed 1 is great for when you are around flower beds or other areas you don’t want the grass flying around. The high speed (Speed 2) is your normal everyday use. The trimmer features two speeds, high and low which can be adjusted from the top of the trimmer handle. There are two triggers located on the trimmer, the safety and the power. The string trimmer has a 60 minute run time with a 2.5Ah battery but again it depends upon how thick and heavy the grass is that you are cutting. The intake is located on the back of the blower which means it won’t try and suck your pants in and cause loss of air. The battery sits on the back of the blower which does provide good balance with the front nozzle being longer. On the side, there is a cruise control to set and forget the speed so you don’t have to hold the trigger down all the time. But this is great for those times you need a little extra power to move larger debris.

While this will increase the power, it will also lower the run time. On top of the handle, there is a turbo button. The blower produces up to 630 CFM and 140 MPH. The 80V blower runs up to 75 minutes with a 2.5Ah battery.

Kobalt designed this with a battery fuel gauge on the handle so you can see your status. No need to open the door and see the battery gauge. On top of the handle, you can easily start the mower and control the speed. This handle is much better than their older model that felt flimsy. One huge feature that we noticed from the previous model was the handle. One cool feature is the ability to raise or lower all four wheels at once with a single lever. This mower can either mulch, bag or side discharge debris. While Kobalt has other OPE tools in their line up, these are the three most common that we will take a look at today, the mower, the blower, and the string trimmer. However they are a very popular brand, we wanted to give their new stuff a try and find out for ourselves if they are a player in this market or just another name. While it was decent, it definitely wasn’t the top performer. So how does the Kobalt stack up? Let’s check out the Kobalt 80V review and see. I love the power, I love not having to deal with running to the gas station and buying gas, changing a spark plug or moving around a gas can. How can battery power be superior to gas power? Well, let me tell you as a believer, there is no comparison, battery-powered all the way. Ask me about 5 years ago and I fell into the skeptical bag. How do you feel about battery powered OPE ( Outdoor Power Equipment)? Are you sold or just skeptical? For me, I am sold.
