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 a complete lawn care starter kit that includes a mower, 12-inch string trimmer (weed wacker), and 500 CFM leaf blower, all powered by three batteries and three chargers. Designed for homeowners with small to medium yards (up to 1/3 acre), this bundle aims to replace gas-powered equipment with a quieter, maintenance-free electric system—without the hassle of mixing fuel or pulling cords.

Who Should Buy This

• New homeowners with 1/4-acre or smaller lots – If you’re starting from scratch and need a mower, trimmer, and blower without dropping $600+, this combo gives you everything in one purchase. The 17-inch cutting deck is ideal for tight spaces and simple lawns.
• Homeowners who hate gas cans and tune-ups – No oil changes, no spark plugs, no stale fuel. If you want to grab a battery and go, this kit eliminates the usual gas-engine headaches.
• Budget-conscious buyers who want a full system – At $260, you’re getting three tools and three batteries. That’s less than the cost of a single premium mower battery from some brands. It’s a solid value if you’re okay with trade-offs in build quality.
• Mature or elderly users – The mower is lightweight (around 30 lbs), easy to push, and starts instantly. No heavy pull cords or vibration from a gas engine. The trimmer is also lighter than most gas models.

Key Features Breakdown

• 40V (2×20V) System – The mower runs on two 20V batteries wired in series to deliver 40V power. This is common for budget cordless mowers. It provides enough torque for typical grass but may struggle in thick, wet grass. The other tools use single 20V batteries, so you can swap between them.
• 17-Inch Cutting Deck – This is a small deck, even for cordless mowers (most are 20-21 inches). It means more passes to finish your lawn, but it also makes the mower highly maneuverable in tight flower beds and around obstacles. Best for small, simple lawns.
• Brushless Motor – Brushless motors are more efficient and last longer than brushed motors. This one should deliver consistent power and longer runtime per charge. It’s a nice feature at this price point.
• 12-Inch Weed Wacker – The trimmer uses a bump-feed head and has a 12-inch cutting width. It’s fine for edging along sidewalks and trimming around trees, but it’s not heavy-duty. The head can be fussy with thicker weeds.
• 500 CFM Leaf Blower – This is the standout tool in the kit. 500 CFM is legitimately strong for a battery blower—comparable to many mid-range gas models. It’ll clear dry leaves and grass clippings easily. The battery runtime is short (about 15-20 minutes on high), but the power is real.
• 3 Batteries and 3 Chargers – Each tool comes with its own battery and charger. That means you can charge all three simultaneously, which is convenient. But it also means you can’t share batteries between tools without swapping. The batteries are 2.0 Ah each, which is on the low side—expect about 30-40 minutes of mowing per charge.
• Shipped in 2 Packages, Delivery Separately – This is a logistical quirk. The mower and trimmer may arrive in different boxes on different days. It’s not a big deal, but don’t panic if one box shows up first.

Pros

1. Great value for a full kit – Three tools, three batteries, three chargers for $260. You’d pay more for a single premium mower battery.
2. Excellent leaf blower performance – 500 CFM is genuinely powerful for a battery blower. It’ll move wet leaves and debris better than many competitors.
3. Lightweight and easy to push – The mower is under 35 lbs with batteries. It’s easy to maneuver and lift into storage.
4. No gas, no cords – Instant start, quiet operation, and zero maintenance. Perfect for homeowners who want simplicity.
5. Brushless motor on mower – More efficient and longer-lasting than brushed motors found on cheaper cordless mowers.
6. Three separate chargers – You can charge all batteries at once, so you’re never waiting for a single charger.

Cons

1. Small cutting deck (17 inches) – This mower will take noticeably longer to cut a lawn than a standard 21-inch model. If your yard is over 1/4 acre, expect to make many passes.
2. Short battery runtime – The included 2.0 Ah batteries are small. You’ll likely need to recharge mid-mow on a typical lawn. The blower runs out in about 15 minutes on high.
3. Build quality is budget-tier – The plastic deck and thin steel handle feel less sturdy than premium brands. It’ll hold up for a few seasons but won’t last a decade.
4. Batteries are not cross-compatible between tools without swapping – Each tool has its own battery. You can’t use the mower’s two batteries in the trimmer without an adapter. It’s a minor inconvenience.

Bottom Line

The STEELITE 40V Combo is a fantastic entry-level kit for small-lot homeowners who want a complete cordless system without spending a fortune. The mower is lightweight and easy to use, the blower punches above its weight, and the trimmer gets the job done. But the small 17-inch deck and short battery runtime mean it’s not ideal for larger yards or thick, overgrown grass. If you have a 1/4-acre or smaller lawn, want to ditch gas, and are okay with a few compromises in build quality, this is a smart buy at $260. For bigger properties, look for a 21-inch mower with larger batteries.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the battery last on the mower? With the two 2.0 Ah batteries, you’ll get about 30–40 minutes of continuous mowing on a typical lawn. If your grass is thick or tall, expect closer to 25 minutes. Plan to recharge between sessions if your yard is over 1/4 acre.

Can I use the mower batteries in the trimmer or blower? No, not directly. The mower uses two 20V batteries wired together in a series to produce 40V. The trimmer and blower use a single 20V battery. You can’t swap the mower’s paired batteries into the other tools without an adapter (not included). You’ll need to use the individual batteries that came with each tool.
