About Kobalt 40-Volt Max 24-in Dual Cordless Hedge Trimmer
Overall Feedback:
73% positive
85% appreciated the long battery life, although 15% thought it drained quickly
I have found that the hedge trimmer is lightweight, cuts through normal hedges quickly, and has really good battery life.
I was able to trim all the old thick boxwoods and other woody bushes around the house in half an hour and the battery still had charge left.
I tried charging the trimmer battery with various sockets, but it did not come on. This indicates a problem with the battery life.
My trimmer would stop intermittently and would not restart until left alone for several hours, indicating poor battery life.
79% liked the sharp and durable blades, yet 21% found them dull quickly
The blade quality is not good as it jams and shuts down if it bites a hold of anything that it can not handle.
78% praised its sturdy construction, yet 22% felt it was flimsy
The trimmer is lightweight and easy to hold, which is welcomed when working around the yard all day.
I love my Kobalt lawnmower and when I saw the hedge trimmer that uses the same battery and charger, I just had to get it.
After two uses, the trimmer stopped working.
73% liked excellent cutting performance, but 27% found it struggled with thicker branches.
I have not experienced any jamming with the hedger and it cuts through thicker branches easily.
I have had to disassemble the hedge trimmer three times because it jams and shuts down when it encounters something it cannot handle. I move the cam plate to get it running again.
After two trims, the trimmer stopped working.
71% liked its user-friendly design, while 29% found it cumbersome
The trimmer is lightweight and easy to hold, which is great for working around the yard all day.
I have found that the Hedger cuts through thicker branches with ease and without any issues, despite some reviews mentioning that it jams up.
I faced difficulty using the trimmer as the charger wouldn't charge the battery and the charging light didn't come on, even after trying different sockets to ensure it wasn't an electrical socket issue.
To get it running, I need to disassemble it, remove the gear box cover, and move the cam plate at the end of the cutting blade away from the gear box box.
76% liked the low noise level, while 24% found it too loud
This hedge trimmer is lightweight and cuts through normal hedges quickly.
After two trims, the product stopped working.
The trimmer would intermittently stop and not restart until left alone for several hours. There is no specific information about the noise level.
74% appreciated its portability
I was able to trim all the old thick boxwoods and other woody bushes around the house in a half hour and the battery still had charge.
The trimmer is convenient to hold and lightweight, making it ideal for working around the yard all day.
79% appreciated the safety features, but 21% found them lacking
I think the cordless feature is awesome because my significant other has cut through the cord on more than one occasion.
I have experienced that the hedge trimmer shuts down if it bites something it can't handle, like a thicker branch or wire on a chain-link fence.
The charger is not working properly as the light indicating the charger is on doesn't come on, even after trying various sockets. This indicates that the safety features of our power-hedge-trimmers may not be sufficient.
76% liked its versatility for various tasks, but 24% found it limited

I had an issue with the charger as it wouldn't charge the battery and the light indicating the charger is on didn't come on, even after trying various sockets. This shows my negative experience with the product.
After just two trims, the trimmer stopped working.
