STEELITE 40V(2×20V) 17-Inch Cordless Lawn Mower Combo, Brushless Electric Mower, 12-Inch Weed Wacker & 500CFM Leaf Blower, with 3 Batteries and 3 Chargers - Shipped in 2 Packages, delivery Separately Review

Overview

The STEELITE 40V (2×20V) 17-Inch Cordless Lawn Mower Combo is an all-in-one battery-powered lawn care system designed for homeowners with small to medium-sized yards who want to ditch gas, oil, and pull cords. Priced at $260.99, it bundles a mower, a 12-inch weed wacker, and a 500 CFM leaf blower with three batteries and three chargers—a rare value package for anyone managing up to a quarter-acre lot.

Who Should Buy This

• Homeowners with 1/4 acre or less: The 17-inch cutting deck and battery runtime are ideal for compact lawns, not sprawling estates. If your yard takes 30-45 minutes to mow, this combo fits perfectly.
• First-time cordless buyers: If you’re tired of gas engine maintenance or tripping over extension cords, this kit gives you everything to start battery-powered lawn care without nickel-and-diming on separate tools.
• Budget-conscious shoppers: At $260 for three tools and three batteries, this undercuts most competitors by $100-150. It’s a smart entry point if you’re not ready to invest in a premium brand like EGO or Greenworks.
• Renters or small-property owners: Lightweight, compact, and easy to store—these tools won’t crowd a garage or shed, and the weed wacker and blower handle touch-ups around patios and driveways.

Key Features Breakdown

• 40V (2×20V) Battery System: Two 20V batteries work in series to deliver 40V power. This is common in budget cordless mowers, but the included three batteries and three chargers mean you can rotate batteries between tools and never wait for a recharge mid-job.
• 17-Inch Cutting Deck: Smaller than standard 20-21 inch decks, this saves space in storage and is nimble around flower beds and fences. Expect to make more passes on open grass, but it’s fine for tight yards.
• Brushless Motor: Brushless motors are more efficient and last longer than brushed ones. This translates to better runtime and less heat buildup—good for a mower that may sit for months between uses.
• 12-Inch Weed Wacker: A 12-inch cutting width is on the small side, but it’s adequate for edging and trimming around obstacles. The included battery means no swapping with the mower mid-session.
• 500 CFM Leaf Blower: 500 CFM is solid for clearing dry leaves off a driveway or patio—comparable to many mid-range cordless blowers. It won’t move wet, matted leaves, but it’s fine for routine cleanup.
• Three Batteries and Three Chargers: This is the standout perk. Each tool has its own battery and charger, so you can mow, trim, and blow without sharing power. It also means you have a spare battery for extended mowing sessions.
• Shipped in 2 Packages, Delivery Separately: The mower and trimmer/blower arrive in separate boxes, sometimes on different days. Plan for this—don’t panic if one box shows up first.

Pros

1. Exceptional value for a full system: Three tools and three batteries for $260 is hard to beat. You’d pay that for just a mower from many competitors.
2. No gas, no cords, low maintenance: Brushless motors and lithium batteries mean zero oil changes, spark plugs, or fuel stabilizer. Charge and go.
3. Lightweight and maneuverable: The 17-inch deck and plastic construction make this easy to push and turn, especially for smaller users or yards with lots of obstacles.
4. Separate batteries for each tool: No swapping batteries between mower, trimmer, and blower—each has its own power source. This is a huge convenience upgrade over single-battery kits.
5. Quiet operation: At around 75-80 dB, you can mow early morning or evening without annoying neighbors. No earplugs required.
6. Compact storage: The mower folds flat, and the trimmer and blower are small. They fit in a corner of a garage or under a workbench.

Cons

1. Limited runtime on the mower: With the included 2.0 Ah batteries, expect about 20-25 minutes of mowing on thick grass. On a 1/4-acre lawn, you’ll likely need to swap to the spare battery for the final passes.
2. Small cutting deck: 17 inches means more passes and longer mowing time compared to a 20-21 inch deck. If you have a wide-open lawn, this will feel slow.
3. Plastic build feels budget: The deck and handles are all plastic. It’s light, but it won’t survive a hard knock against a rock or tree root as well as steel-deck mowers.
4. Separate shipping can be annoying: The two-package delivery means you might get the mower one day and the trimmer/blower the next, or vice versa. It’s fine if you’re patient, but frustrating if you want to use everything immediately.

Bottom Line

The STEELITE 40V Combo is a fantastic entry-level cordless system for homeowners with small lawns who want to go electric without breaking the bank. The three-tool, three-battery setup is a rare value at $260, and the brushless motors deliver reliable, low-maintenance performance. It’s not for large properties—the 17-inch deck and 2.0 Ah batteries limit runtime and speed—but for a quarter-acre or less, this kit handles mowing, trimming, and blowing with minimal fuss. If you’re on a tight budget and don’t need pro-grade power, buy this. If you have a bigger yard or want a steel deck, spend more elsewhere.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use the batteries from the trimmer or blower in the mower?
Yes—all three batteries are the same 20V 2.0 Ah packs and are interchangeable. The mower uses two at a time (in series for 40V), but you can swap any battery into any tool. Just note the mower needs two batteries to run.

Q: How long does it take to charge the batteries?
Each charger takes about 1-2 hours to fully charge a 2.0 Ah battery. With three chargers, you can charge all three simultaneously, so you’re never waiting long for a full set.

Q: Will this mower handle thick or tall grass?
It can handle typical lawn grass up to 4-5 inches, but it struggles with thick, wet, or overgrown grass. The brushless motor helps, but the 17-inch deck and standard blades aren’t designed for heavy-duty cutting. For best results, mow frequently and avoid letting grass get too tall.
