Best Battery Powered Weed Eaters Reviewed for Yards
As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.
These battery powered weed eater reviews cover eight cordless string trimmers that run on a rechargeable pack instead of gas or an extension cord, and the right one depends on how much grass you cut and how far you have to reach. The eight models below are the battery weed eaters in this group whose listings give enough facts to compare. The comparison draws only on what each listing states about its battery, cut width, shaft, blades and weight. The sources do not cover how these trimmers cut in a real yard, so this is a comparison of the listed specifications, not a performance ranking.
Quick answer
- For a kit with two batteries and a charger in the box, the BLACK+DECKER MTC220, the Liupoket, the ALSO GO 24V and the TASANSTON listings all include batteries.
- For the widest blade choice, the Liupoket lists four blade types, and the Ohey lists 5 long and 5 short trimmer lines plus steel and brush cutter blades.
- For a model that takes a battery you may already own, the YEXLXLN listing is a tool-only unit built for DEWALT-style batteries, and the battery is not included.
- Check the battery voltage on the product page before you buy, because some listings in this group give more than one figure.
What to look for in a battery weed eater
A battery weed eater has four things that matter most in daily use. The first is the battery system. A kit that includes two batteries and a charger lets you swap a spent pack for a full one, which keeps the work moving. A tool-only model is cheaper but needs a battery you already own. The second is the cutting width, which is the path the line or blade covers in one pass. A wider path clears more ground, but a narrower path gives more control near a fence or flower bed. The third is the shaft length and head angle, because a telescopic shaft that adjusts to your height and a head that tilts for edges reduce strain on the back and wrists. The fourth is weight, because a heavy trimmer is tiring to hold for a long session.
Blades matter too. Most models here ship with plastic blades for soft grass, metal blades for thicker weeds, and saw blades for small branches. A line head is the simplest for lawn edges, but the listings in this group show that many models offer both line and blade options, so you can change the cutting method without buying another tool.
The eight weed eaters, one by one
MoYohos cordless weed wacker with two 4000mAh batteries
This model is listed with two 4000mAh batteries and a fast charger, plus a full set of accessories that includes two saw blades, two rhombus alloy blades, ten plastic blades, gloves and safety glasses. The bullets give a peak power of 880W and a rotational speed of 18,000 RPM, and the telescopic shaft adjusts from 35 to 47 inches. The head tilts from 0 to 90 degrees. The listing gives the tool weight as 3.9 pounds in one field and 4.3 pounds in another, so check the product page for the figure you need. The bullets describe a double-switch safety system and a 72dB noise level, and they describe the battery runtime as up to about 40 minutes per battery. The specs give a figure of about 30 minutes for the 4.0Ah pack, so read the product page for the runtime that applies to the pack you will use.
ALSO GO 24V cordless weed wacker with two 2000mAh batteries
This ALSO GO model comes with two 2000mAh lithium batteries, and the bullets give up to 30 minutes of combined runtime with the packs swapped. The listing describes an 11,000 RPM motor and a 6-inch cut width, and the head rotates from 0 to 90 degrees. The telescopic shaft extends from 33 to 47 inches, and the bullets say the body folds for compact storage. Three blade types are included: plastic blades for soft grass, straight metal blades for dense weeds, and alloy saw blades for thick shrubs. The bullets give the weight as 2.65 pounds, while the specs list 2.8 pounds. The bullets say the dual-switch safety lock needs two buttons pressed before the trimmer starts, and they describe a brushless motor that runs quieter than gas models. The listing gives the battery voltage as 24V in the bullets and 21V in the item highlight, so confirm the platform on the product page.
BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX 3-in-1 trimmer, edger and mower (MTC220)
This is the one model in the group that also converts to a small push mower. The package includes two LBXR2020 20V MAX lithium-ion batteries, a charger, a removable MTD100 mower deck, an AF-100 spool and a guard. The listing gives a 12-inch cutting width, a total weight of 9.9 pounds and a two-year limited warranty. The bullets say the PowerDrive transmission keeps the trimmer from bogging in dense grass and weeds, and the automatic feed spool (AFS) keeps the line feeding without stopping. The adjustable deck height and pivoting handle are described as giving control over the cut. The listing aims the mower option at smaller yards, slopes and hard-to-reach spots, and it is the best fit here if you want one battery platform that does trimming and light mowing.
Liupoket 3-in-1 cordless weed wacker with four blade types
This model is one of the most fully equipped kits in the group. It includes two 2000mAh batteries, a fast charger, ten metal blades, ten lengths of weed whacker string, ten plastic blades, two saw blades, wheels, a shoulder strap, gloves and goggles. The listing gives a 20,000 RPM pure copper motor, a telescopic shaft of about 47 inches and a total weight of 3.28 pounds. The multi-angle handle turns from 0 to 180 degrees, and the trimmer head tilts from 0 to 90 degrees. The cut width is listed at 8 inches. The four blade types are described as plastic for soft grass, rhombus for weeds and small shrubs, saw blades for pruning, and string for tall, thick grass. The style name describes it as a string trimmer, brush cutter, lawn edger and small lawn mower in one.
ALSO GO 24V edger and weed wacker with two 2.0Ah batteries
This is a lighter edger-style model that the listing says suits seniors and women. It includes two 2.0Ah batteries, and the bullets give a 650W pure copper motor with an 11,000 RPM no-load speed and a 6-inch cut width. The extendable pole adjusts from 35 to 47 inches, and the angled cutting head is described as useful for slopes, edges and tight corners. The package includes five interchangeable blades: metal blades for thick weeds, saw blades for small branches and plastic blades for soft lawn grass. The bullets describe dual safety lock switches that must be engaged before use, an auxiliary wheel for smoother handling, and detachable parts for easy cleaning. The specs list a weight of 3 pounds, so use that figure when you compare it with the others here.
Ohey 4-in-1 cordless weed wacker with LED display
The Ohey listing is the most detailed about its runtime and cut range. The bullets give an 800W motor with up to 20,000 RPM and a battery pack made of two 21V 3000mAh batteries, for a combined 6000mAh total. The listing gives up to 90 to 120 minutes of runtime when the packs are used alternately, and it adds an LED display on the handle to show remaining battery. The cut width depends on the attachment: 11 to 12 inches with the edging wheel and longest line, 7 to 8 inches with the steel blade, and 6 to 7 inches with the brush cutter blade and auxiliary wheels. The shaft adjusts from 43 to 55 inches. The package includes five long and five short trimmer lines, four steel blades and two brush cutter blades, and blade changes are described as tool-free. The listing also gives a three-year warranty covering the machine and battery system.
TASANSTON cordless weed wacker with two 2.0Ah batteries
This model comes with two 2.0Ah batteries, a fast charger, and a set of five interchangeable blade types. The listing describes an 18,000 RPM pure copper motor and says each battery supports up to 45 minutes of trimming. The shaft adjusts from 35 to 53 inches, the handle turns 360 degrees, and the head pivots from 0 to 90 degrees. The bullets give a weight of 3.2 pounds, while the specs list 2.9 pounds. Rotating the handle 90 degrees is described as the way to switch to edger mode. The listing says the noise level is 55 dB and the double safety switch prevents accidental start-up. The bullets also list a one-year warranty and a package with two saw blades, four metal blades, ten nylon blades, ten steel wire blades, a splash guard, gloves and goggles.
YEXLXLN cordless weed eater for DEWALT 21V MAX batteries (tool only)
This model is the choice if you already own DEWALT batteries. The listing says the trimmer is compatible with a list of DEWALT 20V MAX and 21V MAX battery models, and it is tool only, so the battery is not included. The bullets give a 1880W pure copper motor with an 18,000 RPM no-load speed, a weight of 4.4 pounds, and an adjustable shaft that runs from 35.43 to 51.18 inches. It comes with four interchangeable blades: a line trimmer head, a plastic blade, a metal straight blade and a manganese steel circular blade. The head adjusts from 0 to 90 degrees, and the dual-switch design requires both buttons to be pressed before the motor starts. The specs list a 9-inch cut width. Because it is a bare tool, budget for a compatible battery if you do not already have one.
How the listings compare
The table below uses the figures each listing states for battery setup, cut width, shaft and weight. A dash means the listing does not give that figure in a field we could use. Where a listing gives more than one figure for the same item, the table uses the bullet figure and the note explains the difference.
| Model | Battery setup | Cut width | Shaft | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MoYohos | Two 4000mAh packs, charger | 6 inches | 35 to 47 inches | 3.9 lb (tool only) |
| ALSO GO 24V (HF413JHX) | Two 2000mAh packs | 6 inches | 33 to 47 inches | 2.65 lb (bullets) |
| BLACK+DECKER MTC220 | Two 20V MAX packs, charger | 12 inches | Adjustable | 9.9 lb |
| Liupoket | Two 2000mAh packs, charger | 8 inches | About 47 inches | 3.28 lb |
| ALSO GO 24V (HKSDB2WB) | Two 2.0Ah packs | 6 inches | 35 to 47 inches | 3 lb (specs) |
| Ohey | Two 21V 3000mAh packs | 6 to 12 inches, by attachment | 43 to 55 inches | Not stated |
| TASANSTON | Two 2.0Ah packs, charger | 6 inches | 35 to 53 inches | 3.2 lb (bullets) |
| YEXLXLN (tool only) | Not included, DEWALT-style | 9 inches | 35.43 to 51.18 inches | 4.4 lb |
Which one fits your yard
For a small yard or a border that needs control, the narrower models are the better match. The two ALSO GO 24V models and the TASANSTON list a 6-inch cut, and the ALSO GO models also have a head that angles for slopes and corners. For a larger yard where a wider path saves passes, the BLACK+DECKER MTC220 lists 12 inches and the Ohey lists 11 to 12 inches with its edging wheel and longest line. The Liupoket sits in the middle at 8 inches and carries the most blade types.
If you want the lightest tool, the ALSO GO 24V listing gives 2.65 pounds in its bullets, which is lighter than the other models that state a weight. The MTC220 is the heaviest at 9.9 pounds, but it does more work because it can also be used as a small push mower. If you use the tool for long sessions at the edge of a lawn, the telescopic shaft and head angle matter as much as the weight.
If you already own a DEWALT 20V or 21V battery, the YEXLXLN tool-only unit avoids a second battery purchase, but you must make sure the battery you have is on the compatible list in its listing. If you do not own batteries, pick a model with two packs and a charger in the box, because the battery is the largest cost after the tool itself.
Common mistakes with battery weed eaters
- Buying a tool-only model without checking the battery platform. The YEXLXLN listing is compatible only with the DEWALT batteries it names.
- Assuming the runtime figure is the same for every battery in the box. The MoYohos listing gives both a per-battery figure and a figure for the 4.0Ah pack, so read both.
- Choosing by the cut width alone. A wider path is faster on open ground, but a narrower path is easier to control on a border.
- Ignoring the safety switches. Several listings in this group describe a dual-switch or lock that must be engaged before the motor starts, so learn where it is before the first use.
FAQ
Do these reviews cover how the trimmers perform in use?
No. The comparison uses only what each product listing states about its battery, cut width, shaft, blades and weight. The sources do not cover how these trimmers perform in a real yard, so use the listing facts as a starting point and read the product page before buying.
Which models include batteries?
The MoYohos, the ALSO GO 24V models, the BLACK+DECKER MTC220, the Liupoket, the Ohey and the TASANSTON all list batteries and a charger in the package. The YEXLXLN is tool only, and the battery is not included.
Which model has the most blade options?
The Liupoket lists four blade types and ten metal, ten plastic and ten string options in its package. The Ohey lists five long and five short trimmer lines, four steel blades and two brush cutter blades, and the TASANSTON lists ten nylon blades, ten steel wire blades, four metal blades and two saw blades.
What is the longest shaft?
The Ohey lists a shaft adjustable from 43 to 55 inches, and the TASANSTON lists 35 to 53 inches. The Liupoket lists about 47 inches for its telescopic shaft.
Can a battery weed eater also cut lawn edges?
Yes. Several listings describe a wheeled edger or edging head. The MTC220 and the TASANSTON list a rotate-to-edge setup, and the Ohey lists an edging wheel that gives a longer cut for edges.
Which model is best for a small battery budget?
The listings do not give prices, so this comparison does not rank cost. If you already own a compatible battery, the YEXLXLN avoids the cost of a second pack, but check its compatibility list first.
Bottom line
For a complete kit with batteries and a charger, the Liupoket and the BLACK+DECKER MTC220 cover the most ground, with the MTC220 adding a mower deck. For a lighter tool for edges and tight corners, the ALSO GO 24V models are the most focused. The Ohey suits buyers who want a long shaft and listed runtime, and the YEXLXLN is the choice for owners who already have a compatible battery. Confirm the battery voltage, cut width and weight on the product page before you order.
