Kobalt warranty for lawn mowers
The short version
Kobalt doesn't cover everything, but keeps whole mower covered to 5 years. That full coverage is shorter than most of the 14 brands we compared, which typically cover 2 years in full. You don't need to register to get this coverage.
From Kobalt's published warranty, checked October 2026.
