You can change the mowing height easily with a 7-position single-level height adjuster. This mower features dual blades (much like a riding mower) and features a 2-in-1 mulching / bagging feature which gives you a couple of ways to keep your lawn clean and healthy. With this dual-battery system, one battery automatically switches over to the other, extending the mower’s run time without having to stop to swap them out. Kobalt 40V Max 20-in Mower, $399 – The 20-inch Doublecut mower is powered by two batteries – one 2.0 Amp-hour Quick-Charge battery and one 4.0 Amp-hour Long-Run battery. This mower uses a single blade and the handles are cushioned for comfort. The 19-inch model offers a 7-position, single-level height adjuster that’s very easy to adjust for cut height. It has a tough, 19-inch steel cutting deck, with 10-inch rear wheels and 7-inch front wheels. The mower easily switches back and forth from your choice of mulching, rear bagging, or side discharge options. Having two batteries allows you to charge one while running the mower. The mower has one port which holds one battery at a time (the 20-inch mower holds two batteries). Kobalt 40V Max 19-in Mower, $349 – The 19-inch mower comes with a 2.0 Amp-hour Quick-Charge and a 4.0 Amp-hour Long-Run battery. However, with the advancement of brushless motor technology this is a feature that seems likely in the near future. Obviously this comes at a price and power issue.

The one feature missing from these mowers which I think Kobalt should consider for future models is a self-propelled version. I also think homeowners (like myself) that have large yards, which they mow mostly with riding mowers, can use a mower like this to do their trim/cleanup mowing. Obviously home owners with small yards will find electric mowers an excellent alternative to noisy gas operated mowers. These mowers are a great option in many situations. The new OPE line includes two mower models, a 19 inch model and a 20 inch model, the smaller model comes with a few less features and a lower price point. In the coming months we’ll get a few samples and provide detailed reviews over on our partner site,. Below I’ve summarized these new products along with my initial thoughts. I had the pleasure of attending the Kobalt OPE Media Event for a hands-on preview of these tools and I was very impressed. The tools include two push mower models, string trimmer, chain saw, blower, hedge trimmer and a pole saw.

Kobalt® just introduced a full line of Outdoor Power Equipment (OPE) with 7 new tools running off a 40V MAX lithium-ion battery platform. Those days seem to be about over as tool companies develop battery powered outdoor equipment. Gas powered equipment also requires regular maintenance along with having to store gasoline and even mixed gasoline and oil.

Yard work can be physically demanding and typically involves gas powered equipment that can be quite intimidating for some homeowners.
