If you can push mow your 1/4 acre in less time than that with a 21" deck, sure. Personally, I think you'd have to be running to achieve that, though, so you'd likely want to get a second battery. Otherwise you'll have to sacrifice something to achieve a longer runtime to finish in one charge (no self propel, side discharge instead of bag/mulch, higher cut height, etc.).
If you factor in CB for Lowe's, the Kobalt is about $30 cheaper if you go the delivery route; $15 cheaper if you do pickup. Plus the GCs were $30 off face. So for me, I spent about $60 less out of pocked as I wouldn't have wanted to drive somewhere to pick this up and stuff it in my car.
Similar specs between the two ... the biggest differences I can see are:
Kobalt is 6 Ah vs. 4 Ah + 2 Ah on Greenworks from Costco (which should essentially be a wash, I'd imagine).
Kobalt battery charges a bit slower (but it's also bigger).
No need for dual batteries to get the same runtime (which, all other things being equal, makes for a lighter Kobalt mower).
The Greenworks has a headlight (personally, I wouldn't use it -- just mentioning it for someone who might).
The Greenworks has a second blade if purchased from Costco.
Kobalt mower has 5 year warranty; 3 for the battery. Greenworks is 4 for the mower... and 4(?) for the battery?
Anybody have any experience with the Kobalt in case I just made a horrible mistake?
