I have last year's model (two 2.5) and was extremely impressed.....though I wish I had the 6ah

One major issue is that the Kobalt has a 3 year battery warranty, the Costco/GW has 8 years on the batteries.
Also, the Kobalt and GW battery/charger platforms can be modified to be cross-compatible with a DIY user modification..

Very good points on everything, no turbo too.
the 6ah is not a typo.
I got the Kobalt here from Lowe's for $299 so I can't complain about the one port. Does a half acre on one battery with 100% self propelled. The next battery is ready and it is an easy swap so works near seamless.

When I bought (3 years ago) I came with two 4 Ah batteries. The last time I looked, it now has one 4 Ah and one 2 Ah.

The biggest drawback here is the 2.0 Ah batteries. I've had 3 or 4 go dead in the past few years, they don't seem to hold up well in high amp draw tools. Two were replaced N/C and two were too old and were discarded.
If you can swing the Costco model, I think it will be on sale in April for $499 with a 4 Ah and a 2 Ah battery, plus an extra blade. When I bought, Costco extended the battery warranty for 4 extra years for a total of 8 years. I believe that is still current.
Is there a link for that one? I'm trying to find it.

legit question - I'm not trolling

Too many unknowns to answer. Generally speaking, I'd want at least a 60V platform (preferably 80V) as the mowers are a high draw tool, especially if self propelled.. the Ah rating of the batteries determines the potential runtime, as well as the voltage.
More info might provide a better answer.

Lowes will not take it back if you use it and do not like it. I do not think Home Depot will either.
