My mower purchased last year looks similar, although has a handle in the front. The big problem with it, is that it does not do as good a job at cutting close to fences or walls, like my 12+ year old, smaller mower could. I needed to buy a weed whacker to complete the job.
I got the Greenworks 21" 13 amp which is actually the same mower, just different color and different motor cover. Its my first corded electric so cord management and planning the cutting route took a few cuts to nail down. Im happy with its performance. Only thing Im concerned about is longevity. Hows your kobalt holding up?
Sure, they've been around for decades. I remember my parents had one in the 70s. My father preferred the gas one though, stronger, no cords to deal with or outlets to worry about in the farthest area of the yard from the house. Just fill it up with gas and go.
i love my craftsman electric mower use it in the very back of our yard because its alot lighter than our gas mower and there are so many holes and divits that i can actually get stuck with the gas mower. tfs
I've owned/used this mower for 3 years until last week when the lever-controlled switch failed rendering the mower a lawn ornament. Disassembly revealed a cheaply made poorly engineered cheese-ball internal non-universal plastic part that broke inside the lever controlled PTO switch assembly. Went online to find a replacement and - nothing is available! Nor is any other replacement/repair part for Kobalt corded mowers. My advice: Buy a Black & Decker or other easily repairable brand.
Great review. Thank you for posting. You video does an excellent job showing the benefits of having a wider mower. Be sure to use a heavy gauge extension cord for longer motor life. 13 amps requires at least 14 gauge wire. It is recommended that you gauge up to the 12 gauge wire if you can.
*I bought two of these to double-team a 2/3 acre plot with my friend.🚜 **allabout.wiki/KT** We used to use a mowing service, but $240/month was adding up fast. We needed lawn equipment, and rather than spend $1200 on a cheap ridable mower, we spent the same amount with GreenWorks on two of these mowers, four 2AH batteries, two rechargers, a blower and a trimmer. I'm glad I did. These mowers are easy to push, plow through thick grass, can be used at night due to their low noise, are effortless to start, don't stink of gas, and I love always having a charged battery available. I've found that a battery can fully charge before I drain a battery (~45 minutes), so the two of us never have to stop. We get our yard done in about 1.5 hours and hardly break a sweat. We have been mowing weekly and actually enjoy doing it, despite the two of us claiming we hated mowing grass. Seems we only disliked the inconveniences that gas-powered equipment bring. Thank you GreenWorks for making lawn care fun for us.*
Thanks Parris. I purchased the low cost corded mower from Home Depot a few years ago. It pretty much sucks. I use it whenever my gas mower gives me problems.
I caught this model on sale for $180 a couple years ago. Still running strong. 3:03 so nice and clean! Wish I had of sprayed some of that grease stuff on mine to keep grass from sticking to the edges. Now I to scrape all that stuff out and try to clean it. The blade itself is perfectly clean though. :/
Just bought one from Lowe's and I love it! Awesome mower, I do wish it was self-propelled but I understand it's a safety concern and it's lightweight so it's not too bad in my yard
My lawn hog finally died after almost 15 years. It's been so long since I've had to buy a mower I had sticker shock when i went shopping. I ended up buying this kobalt model at lowes for 179.00. The lawn hog was easier to store since I could flip the handle to the other side. But otherwise I've been pleased with the kobalt.
@@99cachorro Good to hear.My blade is easy to take off ,bring it to the local lawnmower sharpener guy for sharpen,and easy to replace.BTW,one nut and easy on and off.Be sure that every few uses unplug and check the nut is still on tight enough.I knew a guy who didn't and a loose blade came off,skipped on the ground and took 3 toes with it,and yes he was wearing proper shoes.
hellslave my grandmother used an electric mower on about an acre of grass every year, I always wondered how she found cords long enough to cover how big her yard was.
Are you comparing new blade to old blade? That's not really a good comparison between the two mowers itself. Also, first cut of the season should be scalped (cut low) and bagged, not mulched, like the remainder of the season.
I expected the B&D to not do as well as the Kobalt since the blades are probably real dull. I personally would rather use a push lawn mower than an electric/plug-in mower. I hate those things!
1:44 I have this exact model from Lowe's.The start button needs to be pressed while the lever is pressed IS a safety devise.
Now out of stock and not listed online. I ordered maybe the last one to be delivered to the store. GREAT MOWER!
As to the racket made by twigs,rocks etc. tells me the mower is working doing the job.As you can tell I love my Kobalt mower!😁
Piles of mulch left by my Kobalt hasn't happened in the 3 years I've had mine because I walk at a medium pace and the mower handled it.

Sheep do a great job,too,look better,and are nicer.
I just got my cobalt corded for $190 at Lowes!!$$ PERFECT!!#😳😘😁

I always get a laugh with your reviews. Can't get enough. And great review as always
'Well actually you'll never hear a guy say that!" Soooooo funny!
Not gonna lie- I laughed out loud when he said that- did not expect it.
I got the Greenworks 21" 13 amp which is actually the same mower, just different color and different motor cover.

I would like to see you test the battery operated one as I have there battery operated chain saw and it works really well
The Exmark, which is the Lazer Z model
I like the Bay Area stations
Really Enjoyed this informative video ! How are the seeds doing in the comparison test ?
i bought this and now i do not know how to attach the mulching insert. the instructions did not make sense to me . any insights wd be appreciated.
how long does it last?
Hows the Kobalt holding up?
Are you in Canada
Electric lawn care equipment is a thing in the past!
I had no idea electric mowers existed.
Sure, they've been around for decades. I remember my parents had one in the 70s. My father preferred the gas one though, stronger, no cords to deal with or outlets to worry about in the farthest area of the yard from the house. Just fill it up with gas and go.
There's an electric version to virtually EVERYTHING!😁
i love my craftsman electric mower use it in the very back of our yard because its alot lighter than our gas mower and there are so many holes and divits that i can actually get stuck with the gas mower. tfs
I hate the KTVU: Circle Laser 2 A1975AM lawn mower
I think the kobolt is just a rebranded Other brand, maybe GreenWorks

I am replacing my 1976 Lawn Boy model or prefer the Sunbeam model in the 1950s with a 110-amp cord or the Kobalt mower
I want to get a petrol version and get the Toro with a 60V battery or the EGO model with a 56V Arc Lithium Ion Battery
I think Kobalt is Lowes' house brand.
I like to get a petrol mower, Some hardware stores sell higher-priced models like the 18 volt models like DeWalt or the Milwaukee

Bought it, love it. Thanks!
Awesome lawn mower, thanks for your review. No batteries, no gas, no polution. Easy to operate
Rock 94.3 Winnemucca playing on the radio
I have the Flymo or several petrol models or the gasoline-powered mowers
Very good!
I tried a battery-powered lawn mower and cut the grass in one charge
Thanks Parris. I purchased the low cost corded mower from Home Depot a few years ago. It pretty much sucks. I use it whenever my gas mower gives me problems.
The Black and Decker model has a 13-amp motor
Thanks man this is the best review of the Kobalt mower
I am collected several yard tools over the years, like the Jacobsen Super Bagger and the Honda HRX 217 model. also have the Harmony model from Honda
I heard the WCPX Orlando model
The B&D more than likely made a worse cut bc its blade was ruined (as he told us in the beginning)
Thanks for the review. What extension cord did you use?
Press the Motel 6 Button

Good job
Awesome mower, bought one myself two years ago. I do have an old 1978 Jacobsen super bagger as a back up mower plus sentimental reasons
A '78 mower? That's great it has lasted you this long.
@Christov Yes it does
Just bought one from Lowe's and I love it! Awesome mower, I do wish it was self-propelled but I understand it's a safety concern and it's lightweight so it's not too bad in my yard
The don't offer replacement parts good luck 😊

For a fairer side by side comparison please make sure the blades are properly sharpened.
I was thinking that, the kobalt had a new and sharp blade!
@@99cachorro Good to hear.My blade is easy to take off ,bring it to the local lawnmower sharpener guy for sharpen,and easy to replace.BTW,one nut and easy on and off.Be sure that every few uses unplug and check the nut is still on tight enough.I knew a guy who didn't and a loose blade came off,skipped on the ground and took 3 toes with it,and yes he was wearing proper shoes.
Just bought the Kobolt km211 and absolutely love it . Will never go back to gas.
Everything looks good except the steel deck which i hate. Your review is informative !
Cutting grass like T.E Lawrence of Arabia
Rock 94.3: 13-Amp Corded Electric Mower (R943A1)
The Kobalt model cuts grass like the WCPX logo
nice review. Do you recall what the msrp was for this unit?
I thought it was battery operated but apparently not.
Can you do a 1 year follow up
I have the Flymo or the Bosch Rotak model
The song at the end is lit AF
No more robotic versions
I hate Motel 6
On your return passes, how do you avoid mowing over the cord? Seems like it'd be a bit of a hassle, having to constantly keep it out of your way.
hellslave my grandmother used an electric mower on about an acre of grass every year, I always wondered how she found cords long enough to cover how big her yard was.
mow away from the cord is what i did.
I love your chanel so much
what is happening to TH-cam does anybody know
Hackers
Not a fair comparison the black&decker is 12 years old
Parris wasn't satisfying his lawn anymore..he had to get a bigger one..lol
Y not go with the battery power
Are you comparing new blade to old blade? That's not really a good comparison between the two mowers itself. Also, first cut of the season should be scalped (cut low) and bagged, not mulched, like the remainder of the season.
Do what works for you... never bagged in my life and never plan to. 😁
Take it back to the store no parts
I expected the B&D to not do as well as the Kobalt since the blades are probably real dull.
I personally would rather use a push lawn mower than an electric/plug-in mower. I hate those things!
