Worx 20V 12" 2-in-1 Cordless String Trimmer & Electric Lawn Edger, WG163.9

I lived tucked on a mountain in a cove so I don't really have a 'yard' but lots of trees and rock and vegetation that I leave wild. However, on the sides of my driveway, in my driveway that's not paved, and a couple of other places, I have to clean it up a little a few times a year in the spring and summer or it becomes a bit of a problem. This battery operated Worx trimmer does the job efficiently, easily, and quickly. I already had a 20v Worx battery so I only needed the unit. I worried the 20v wouldn't be enough, but it's plenty. This thing chewed through growth pretty impressively. Don't forget your protective eyewear--I did at first and something splatted in my eye to remind me. The battery life is decent - I finished what I needed to do before the battery went dead but if I had two batteries, I'd be able to switch them out and do a little more as there were a couple of places I missed. That written, I did have a lot to do as our spring growth has been huge this year. Keeping up with those areas going forward, the one battery will be plenty to do the job. Easy to use. Lightweight. Price is reasonable. The only thing to 'put together' is the hood thing and all you need to do is take out the little screw, push in the hood, and then screw back in the screw - it took a minute. The string spool was already in place. Likely I'd re-string it so I won't have plastic going in the landfill. I wash mine off after use as it can have a lot of chewed up vegetation stuck to it. That will extend its life. Also, don't leave the battery plugged in constantly as that will shorten battery life. Once it's charged, unplug it. I like Worx, and I really like the battery share component.

I’ve only been marginally impressed in the past with worx products but this time they hit it out of the park! I bought it just to do some light small area trimming but it had won me over for replacing my gas powered trimmer for all my trimming needs. First the good: 1. Lightweight- So easy to carry around and easy on the back. 2. Flexibility- The adjustable head wasn’t something I thought I’d use but I was wrong. I live in a rocky hilly area and I adjust all the time 3. Powerful - it’s not as powerful as the gas unit but still plenty of power to cut what you need around a home. The heavier the cut however tie shorter the battery life so it’s a trade-off 4. Cost effective- I actually like the string spool replacement idea. I’ve had enough with reloading a conventional spool. The more companies try to improve them the worse they get. 6. Construction- Given the lightweight you’d think you would compromise durability. Not true. This tool is designed and constructed with use in mind not just lower cost. Now the not so good 1. Battery - I was disappointed to find out that my existing 40v battery packs and charger wouldn’t work with this tool. So be prepared to stock up on 20v stuff if you buy tool only. 20v batteries work fine with decent working life. Otherwise no other bad input. I highly recommend this tool which I almost never do. .

As other reviewers have stated, the auto feed feature broke almost immediately so you have to manually pull the line out when you need more line. Otherwise it’s lightweight, and works fantastically. It powers through giant patches of grass and other plant material like nothing. One battery pack can do the entire edge of an 1/8 acre lawn and a 5’ by 15’ patch of overgrown grass. It’s convenient because I also have the worx robotic lawn mower, so I can just pull the battery out of that and swap it in. Decently priced for the quality, would recommend if auto feed isn’t a deal breaker. I don’t mind having to manually feed it because you don’t have to do it that often.

Very good product. Easy to use. Good price, very durable.

I was reluctant to switch over to electric, but am pretty happy with my purchase. First, get a battery adapter to adapt your current 20v power tool batteries to the Worx trimmer, blower, etc. I own Dewalt, so I purchased an adapter here for $20. That way you save some money not having to buy the Worx batteries. 2nd, don't expect it to cut like your old gas trimmer. It doesn't have the grunt that a gasser has, so if you have really overgrown edges you will have to slow down and let it cut at it's own speed. If your edges are trimmed weekly, it will handle it with ease. I'm an aggressive trimmer lol, and I had to learn to slow down and let it do its job. It cuts way smoother than my gas trimmer, and leaves a nice clean swath. It's more controllable than traditional ones, but take the time to adjust the head and handle angle to suit your needs, trust me on this one it'll save you some headache. Downside is my fingers get fatigued from holding the trigger down. Not sure why it's any different from holding the throttle on my old one, but I noticed it. Now the question everybody wants the answer to, battery life was great with a 20v 4ah. I basically have 3 yards, front, side, and back. With the back having extensive trimming needs. The 4ah battery lasted for all 3 and had one and a half bars out of 3 left. I was impressed. No noticeable drop in performance towards the end either. I also tried a cheap no name brand 20v 4ah battery with the same results. So it'll take whatever you give it. As for Quality, it feels like it should last a while. It's fairly light, and balanced ok. Line spools are very small, so I was worried about that, but I used way less line than I would have with my gas trimmer. Actually, I did all 3 yards without having to change spools. Oh yeah, get the pack of 6 or 8 extra spools, you won't regret the $12 investment. Overall, I'm happy with it and would buy again. Just remember to give it a few times of use so you can adjust to it.

Great for trimming my small yard. Met all my needs.

This trimmer has been a nightmare from start to finish. First of all, THE TRIMMER DOES NOT COME WITH A BATTERY/CHARGER!! The customer service line is not open on weekends. When do I have time to work on the lawn? On weekends! (Like most people, I work during the week.) My nightmare started when I thought Worx had forgotten to include the battery and charger, but then I realized that those needed to be bought separately. Thus, began a series of calls to Worx during the week to figure out which charger/battery would work with my initial purchase. THERE IS NO CLEAR INFORMATION ABOUT WHICH CHARGER/BATTERY TO BUY ON THE BOX OR IN THE INSTRUCTION PACKET. This added another $130 dollars to the cost of the trimmer/edger. Now I was up to $200. Purchasing the item through the Worx website does not actually work. I added the charger to my cart twice, but it did not actually add the item. Twice, I thought I had purchased the item and I was never charged for it. They just kept saying it was in my cart. I tried to order the items through Amazon, but only the charger was available there. The charger came within two days through Amazon, no problem. so then I had the charger but no battery. Now I'm out $130, but I still don't have any working trimmer/edger. A month passes. We had a lot of rain in east Texas that month. I'm trimming/edging the lawn by hand, yanking out creepers, pulling out grass. Finally, I try again and the same thing happens. The item was never added to the cart. I wanted to use Affirm, and it was listed as purchased through Affirm, but there was no record of the purchase through the Worx website. Again, I'm on the customer service line. This time the rep apologizes and offers to send me a new battery for free. So, now I'm all set up. I'm so depleted by this whole thing that it takes me another two weeks to assemble the trimmer/edger. Finally, I designate some time to assemble and enlist my thirteen year old daughter to help. The instructions include no text at all, just pictures. We make the mistake of unscrewing the silver plate that the wheel attachment slides onto. Now the wheel attachment won't snap into place correctly. I watch all the YouTube videos on assembly, and watch and re-watch the sections about attaching the wheels, but nothing helps. I can't get that satisfying click sound, and wouldn't you know, it's Saturday today, so of course, customer service is not open. Once again, I am trimming/edging the lawn by hand on a Saturday and getting more and more mad about this scam purchase! Overpriced item, instructions are ridiculously cryptic, and the online videos do not help! Customer service could not help me either, apart from the one rep who offered to give me the item for free, but the rep shouldn't have to do that!

This item is a very handy weed trimmer. It works very well , has snap on replacement cutting line rolls & is pretty lightweight compared to the old gas powered ones. This is an exact replacement for one we had for quite a few years but finally conked out. Didn’t need the battery or charger because we have all that. Easy to get it up and running. Recommended. Also noticed that it has a generous 3 year warranty.

Ichhatte mir vorher die neue Akkukettensäge von Worx gekauft und dabei 2 mal 20 Volt Akkus dazu bekommen, aufgrund der Werbung, dass alle Akkus zueinander passen, habe ich mir den Rasentrimmer für 20 Volt Akku bestellt. Die Akkus von der Säge passen aber nicht bei dem Rasentrimmer, es gibt einen Adapter, aber nur umgekehrt, dass alte Akkus in die neuen Geräte passen, ich hatte aber nur neue Akkus, die für alte Akkuhalterungen nicht passen, da der Preis sehr gut ist und eine Rücksendung nach USA mir zu blöde war, habe ich mir selbst einen Adapter gebaut, für die Fehlinformation deshalb nur 1-nen Stern

This is a much better trimmer than anything else I've tried. The heavy-duty plastic line cuts easily and simply does not wear out. I looked at the small line spools and thought I'd be switching them out fairly often, but I haven't touched the first one after a couple months of weekly use. In fact, I've hardly advanced the line and still have plenty out. The batteries are compact, long-lasting (can trim a 1/2 acre lot with lots of gardens on one charge), and quickly recharge (less than an hour from spent). One of my better purchases.

Funcional y seguro, lo uso siempre para recortar el pasto

..not sure why Worx offer this in the UK based on their "Powershare" philosophy. In general I like Worx stuff, and they are my "go to" DIY powertool company. As I already have their drill I recently opted for one of their cordless hedge trimmers as I checked and was advised that despite being quite old my drill batteries would fit. On the back of that i then ordered the above cordless strimmer as it looked really nice and generally had good reviews. As I already now had 3 batteries I asked Worx if they could source me a "bare" unit, (ie no batteries). When it arrived it was a bit disappointing to find that although advertised as a "power share" tool the batteries I had are not compatible??? Not sure why they would do this?? But now have the pain of sending it back and looking for an alternative!
