Best Battery Weed Eater Combo Kits for Homeowners
As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.
A battery weed eater combo is a cordless string trimmer sold together with a second tool, usually a leaf blower, and sometimes an edger or a small mower attachment. The idea is simple: one battery platform powers two jobs, so you do not need a separate charger and battery set for each tool. Below are nine combo listings from our product pack, grouped by what they include, with the facts each listing states about batteries, cutting width and weight.
Quick answer
- Check whether the battery and charger are included. Two listings in this group are tool-only and need a battery you may already own.
- Compare the cutting width. The listings in this group state widths from 10 inches to 16 inches.
- Pick the blower and trimmer on the same battery platform if you already own batteries for another brand.
- Look at the included battery count. Some kits include two batteries, which lets you swap during longer jobs.
What a battery weed eater combo actually includes
Most combo kits in this category are built around a string trimmer, which the listings also call a weed eater, weed wacker or grass trimmer. The second tool is most often a handheld leaf blower. A few listings add a wheeled edger head or a mini mower deck that snaps onto the trimmer shaft. When a listing says “3-in-1,” it means the trimmer head or shaft converts to two other uses, not that the kit has three separate machines.
The trimmer is the part you will use most often, so the spec that matters most is the cutting width. The cutting width sets how much grass one pass clears. The listings in this group state widths of 10, 12 and 16 inches for their trimmer heads. A wider swath covers more ground per pass, but a narrower one is easier to steer around flower beds and fence lines.
How to choose a battery weed eater combo
Battery and charger: included or not
Read the included-parts line before you compare anything else. Some kits ship with batteries and a charger, such as the BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX combo, which the listing says includes two batteries and a charger. Others are tool-only. The listings for the Cordless Weed Eater and Leaf Blower Combo Compatible with Dewalt 20V Battery and the Cordless Weed Eater and Blower Combo Compatible with Milwaukee M18 Battery both state that the battery and charger are not included. If you already own a compatible battery platform, a tool-only kit is the cheaper route. If you do not, choose a kit that includes the batteries.
Runtime and battery count
The listings give runtime in different ways, so compare them carefully. The BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX combo lists a battery average life of 1.5 amp-hours, which is the capacity of its battery rather than a runtime. The PowerSmart 40V kit includes a 4.0Ah battery. The Husqvarna bundle includes a b140 battery and a 40-C80 charger. The KIMO combo includes two 2.0Ah batteries, and its listing says that a second battery doubles the runtime compared with a single-battery model. Two batteries help when you plan longer sessions, because you can swap a discharged battery for a charged one while the first charges.
Weight and handling
The weight of the trimmer matters on long edging jobs. The BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX trimmer is listed at 4.5 pounds. The Cordless Weed Eater and Leaf Blower Combo listing gives a 4.2-pound electric weed eater and a 3-pound leaf blower. The Husqvarna 320iL bundle’s leaf blower is listed at 8.4 pounds. The HGF7LMGG combo lists its cordless weed wacker at 3.5 pounds. The listing for the BLACK+DECKER 3-in-1 combo gives a total item weight of 9.9 pounds for the whole kit, which includes the trimmer and the mower deck.
Line feed and head type
Most listings in this group describe an automatic line feed. The BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX combo describes an AFS system that supplies trimmer line as needed. The BLACK+DECKER 3-in-1 combo describes an AFS automatic feed spool. The KIMO listing describes an auto-feed line system and says it includes a dual cutting system. The Husqvarna listing does not describe a feed system in its bullets, so do not assume one unless you check the product page.
The nine combo listings in this group
BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX Weed Eater, Edger and Sweeper Combo
This kit is listed as a 20V MAX cordless combo that includes two batteries and a charger. It has a 10-inch cutting width and an item weight of 10.5 pounds for the whole kit. The listing describes a string trimmer that converts to a wheeled edger, and it describes the grass trimmer as weighing only 4.5 pounds. The adjustable height and handle are named in the bullets. The listing also names a sweeper function and a 130 mph hard-surface leaf blower in its title. This is a good fit for a homeowner who wants a trimmer, edger and sweeper on one battery set with the batteries already in the box.
The listing states that the trimmer is quiet and lightweight. It does not give a motor rating, a run time in minutes or a line diameter, so those details are not stated.
BLACK+DECKER Weed Eater, Lawn Edger and Cordless Lawn Mower 3 in 1 Combo
This kit comes with two batteries and a charger. It has a 12-inch cutting width for the trimmer and a 2-year limited warranty, as the listing states. The removable wheeled deck turns the unit into a small lawn mower, and the listing says that makes it useful for smaller yards, slopes and tight areas. The bullets describe three uses: push mower, trimmer and edger. The listing also says the PowerDrive system is designed to prevent bogging in dense grass and weeds. The total item weight is 9.9 pounds, and the item dimensions are listed as 40.5 inches long and 15.25 inches wide.
The combo is the most flexible option in this group because it covers mowing as well as trimming. The trade-off is weight and length, which are higher than a single trimmer. The listing does not give a mower cutting width, so the mower capacity is not stated.
Cordless Weed Eater and Leaf Blower Combo Compatible with Dewalt 20V Battery
This is a bare-tool combo. The listing states in its first bullet that the battery and charger are not included. It is designed to work with Dewalt 20V MAX XR lithium-ion batteries. The package has a 4.2-pound electric weed eater and a 3-pound leaf blower. The leaf blower is rated at 400 CFM and 130 MPH in the bullets. The trimmer has a 12-inch cutting width and can switch between a weed trimmer, an in-line wheeled edger and a mini mower. The listing names an 8500 RPM motor and an auto-feed line system. The listing gives a 1-year manufacturer warranty.
This kit suits a person who already owns Dewalt 20V batteries and wants two tools without buying another charger. It does not suit someone who needs a battery in the box.
18.9-inch Cordless Lawn Mower, String Trimmer and Wheeled Edger 3-in-1 Combo
This kit includes two 4.0Ah batteries and is listed as a 3-in-1 unit that combines a cordless push mower, a string trimmer and a wheeled edger. The listing describes a detachable deck that converts the unit into a push mower, a brushless motor rated at 3000W up to 15000 RPM, and an adjustable angle between 20 and 80 degrees on the telescopic shaft. The trimmer cutting width is listed as 12 inches. The listing also says the circular saw blade is not compatible with the mower base, and that the base must be fully removed before using that blade. Read that note before buying if you plan to use the saw attachment.
This is the only kit in this group with a mower deck and a trimmer on one set of batteries. The bullets describe a mower and a trimmer working together, but the listing does not give a mowing width for the deck, so do not assume one.
Cordless Weed Eater and Blower Combo Compatible with Milwaukee M18 Battery
Like the Dewalt listing above, this is a tool-only package. The listing says it is compatible with the Milwaukee M18 18V battery platform and that it is sold for owners who already have that system. The leaf blower is rated at up to 400 CFM and 130 MPH air velocity, the same figures as the Dewalt bundle. The trimmer uses an automatic line feed that releases 0.4 inches of 0.055-inch line each time the tool starts. The head tilts from 0 to 90 degrees, and the auxiliary handle adjusts 180 degrees. The listing gives a 1-year warranty.
This suits a Milwaukee M18 owner. The listing does not state a cutting width for this trimmer, so that measurement is not stated.
PowerSmart 40V Max Battery Powered Weed Wacker and Cordless Leaf Blower Combo Kit
This kit includes a 40V 4.0Ah battery and a charger, and the listing says the same battery runs other PowerSmart 40V tools. The string trimmer is listed with a 13-inch cutting diameter, a two-in-one trimmer and edger design, and a total weight of 9 pounds. The auto feed head uses 0.065-inch line. The leaf blower has a maximum wind volume of 310 CFM and a wind speed of up to 99 MPH, and the listing says a turbo function raises airflow. The bullets give no-load speeds, but the listing does not say how long a charge lasts, so runtime is not stated.
Husqvarna 320iL String Trimmer and 230iB Leaf Blower Bundle
This bundle includes a b140 battery and a 40-C80 charger. The trimmer is listed with a 16-inch cutting width and a faster cutting speed, and the listing describes a boost mode that adds 20 percent more power when needed. The leaf blower is listed at 650 CFM and 8.4 pounds, which the listing calls the lightest blower in its class. The bullets also describe an active cooling system for the battery. The bundle is the widest trimmer in this group, so it covers more grass per pass. The listing does not give the trimmer weight or the battery capacity in amp-hours, so those details are not stated.
20V Electric Weed Trimmer and 650 CFM Leaf Blower Combo with 2 Batteries
This combo includes two 20V 2.0Ah batteries and a fast charger. The trimmer is a 12-inch cordless unit that the listing says weighs 3.5 pounds, and the leaf blower is rated at 650 CFM and 200 MPH. The listing says the two batteries can be swapped between the trimmer and the blower. The trimmer has an auto-feed spool. Because both tools run on the same 20V battery system, a single pair of batteries serves both, and the listing says there is no gas or oil to manage. The listing does not state the trimmer motor rating or the runtime per battery.
KIMO Weed Eater and Blower Combo
The KIMO kit includes two 2.0Ah batteries and a charger. Its trimmer is listed as 12 inches, with a 20000 RPM brushless motor, and the listing describes a 90-degree adjustable head. The leaf blower is rated at 260 CFM and 190 MPH with a vacuum function. The listing describes the unit as a five-in-one system for mowing, trimming, edging, blowing and vacuuming. Some of those claims depend on attachments, and the bullets do not give the mowing width, so read the included parts list before you buy. The listing also describes 1-hour fast charging, which the bullets state for the battery charger.
Review: the best fit for most homeowners
If you want one kit that is ready to use from the box, the BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX combo is the clearest choice in this group. It includes two batteries and a charger, the trimmer is listed at 4.5 pounds, and the cutting width is 10 inches. That width is narrower than the 12-inch and 16-inch options, so it takes more passes on a large lawn. For a small yard with many edges, a narrow trimmer is easier to steer.
If you already own a battery platform, the tool-only Dewalt and Milwaukee listings can save money. Make sure the battery brand matches before you buy, because the listings say the battery is not included. If you want the widest trimmer, the Husqvarna bundle lists a 16-inch cutting width with a 650 CFM blower.
For a yard that needs mowing as well as trimming, the BLACK+DECKER 3-in-1 combo and the 18.9-inch 3-in-1 combo both add a mower deck. The second one uses two 4.0Ah batteries and a brushless motor, and its listing gives the most detail on the mower system. Read the saw-blade note in that listing before you buy.
Mistakes to avoid
- Buying a tool-only kit without checking that its battery matches the batteries you own.
- Comparing runtime across listings. Most listings in this group do not give a runtime in minutes, so compare amp-hours and included battery counts instead.
- Assuming a 3-in-1 combo is three full machines. The mower and edger heads convert the trimmer, and the listings describe them as attachments.
- Skipping the weight line. A heavier trimmer is harder to hold for a long edging session.
FAQ
Is a battery weed eater combo worth it compared with buying tools one at a time?
It can be, if the combo shares a battery platform with tools you already use or plan to buy. The listings in this group say that one battery pair can power the trimmer and the blower. If you only need a trimmer, a single trimmer kit may be a better fit.
Which combos include batteries?
The BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX combo, the BLACK+DECKER 3-in-1 combo, the 18.9-inch 3-in-1 combo, the PowerSmart 40V kit, the Husqvarna bundle, the 20V trimmer and blower combo and the KIMO combo each list batteries as included. The Dewalt and Milwaukee bare-tool kits state that batteries are not included.
How wide a trimmer do I need?
The listings in this group state trimmer widths of 10, 12 and 13 inches for most kits, and 16 inches for the Husqvarna bundle. A wider head covers more grass per pass. A narrower head is easier around beds and fences.
Can the trimmer convert to an edger?
Several listings say yes. The BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX kit, the Dewalt kit, the Milwaukee kit and the 18.9-inch combo each describe a wheeled edger or edger mode. Check the listing for the exact attachment that comes with the kit.
Do these kits need gas or oil?
No. Every combo in this group is listed as battery powered. The listings describe no gas, oil or fumes for the battery tools.
How do I choose between two batteries and one?
Two batteries let you keep working while one charges. If you plan long sessions, a kit with two batteries is more practical. If you mainly do short trims, one battery may be enough, but the listings do not state how long one charge lasts.
Bottom line
Pick a battery weed eater combo that includes its batteries and charger if you are starting from zero. Choose a tool-only kit only when you already own the matching battery platform. Among the included-battery kits, the BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX combo gives the most complete starter package, while the Husqvarna bundle gives the widest trimmer head.
