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

Even though my gas weed eater still works fine after nine years, I needed something lighter for my use. This WORX trimmer fits the bill perfectly. I’ve been using this quiet trimmer for about four months. Because it is so much lighter than my gas model, it is much easier for me (with my reduced lung capacity) to use without having to stop and catch my breath. I was worried about the trimmer line being 0.065 versus the thicker 0.095 line used in the gas trimmer, but that turned out to be a non-issue. The 0.065 line cuts and trims just fine and is less likely to damage the wood or metal fencing. In fact, one of the features I like best is an adjustable edge guard that helps keep you from getting too close to objects. It’s such a simple but ingenious feature that helps prevent objects from getting dinged by the trimmer. Another standout feature is the ease with which I can put a new spool of line in and get back to work. It takes about one minute. With my gas model, re-winding the 0.095 line required me to look at the directions every time so I followed the correct sequence of steps, which usually took about 10-15 frustrating minutes. It was not easy. Finally, I appreciate the fact that the WORX trimmer came with two batteries and a charger. All in all, this WORX trimmer is a great, light trimmer for home use and a good value for the money.

I was very impressed on how well and easy it works and does. The only disadvantage - which I see as an advantage is the batteries are very small in size - meaning they don't last long between charges. But, that also makes them light. The charger is very small and takes many hours to recharge each battery. But, with about ten minutes of usage with each battery I was able to go around the house and two out buildings each 1500 sq. Ft. So it doesn't matter if it takes a long time to recharge. I had a heavy gas powered weed eater. This one is much better because it's light and last long enough to finish the job. Not to mention it's much much easier to start. It does edge pretty well but that takes time and a toll on battery life if you have long paths to do.

I was a little hesitant to purchase this trimmer because it looked a little flimsy. The design is actually good: it's easy to assemble, comes with 2 batteries, and has "Command Feed" for the trimmer line. I have not yet tried to replace the line so not sure how easy it is. I like the way it serves as a weed trimmer and also an edger with very little effort. The battery life is 20-30 minutes which is enough to do my 1/2 acre yard without a problem. I would recommend the Worx Cordless Trimmer for light-to-medium duty jobs.

This is my second Worx trimmer. I also own the corded vacuum/blower, and a lid to put over a yard waste can that hooks up to the corded vacuum/blower allowing you to vacuum up leaves and mulch them without carrying a heavy bag on your shoulder. Honestly, I have to say I am super impressed with that item and I am impressed with this trimmer. My first Worx trimmer lasted about 8- 9 years before the battery started to lose its power. It was a great trimmer and I struggled between buying a new battery or just getting a brand new trimmer and I am glad that I bought the new trimmer. This one is just as good if not better. Much much lighter than the original. The two extra batteries are awesome. I can literally finish my entire yard with one battery. I also like the edging function, although the original Worx trimmer was much easier to use as an edger, because the wheels were in a better area, and seemed to allow for better balance while edging, but this one still is a pretty decent edger. You just have to get it in the right spot and it really makes your lawn look a heck of a lot better than if you didn’t edge. We don’t use any chemicals on our lawn whatsoever, so it isn’t the most beautiful lush lawn but when I mow and edge, it looks fantastic. The automatic feed button seems as if no extra line is being pulled out but upon inspection, it really is. No, it’s not going to be wonderful if you have a huge lot and are trying to weed whack very tall and thick weeds but if you have an average size lawn that is not covered in a ton of super thick weeds, then this is really all you need. It’s certainly not like a gas powered edger, but works fabulous and you don’t have to deal with a cord which is even better. The replacement line is very easy to install. The original one I had was a pain in the butt to install the line because sometimes the spool would unravel in your hand and just would be a pain in the butt as a lot of trimmers have this issue. I also think they still honor their old “free spools for life” program in which all you have to do is call them up and spend eight or nine bucks for shipping and they send you 12 spools (I think it is 12). I don’t really have anything bad to say about this machine. I do think that the charger for the batteries is flimsy but if you store it properly, you shouldn’t have a problem. I guess I just like their tools and they work for me. I’m glad I bought this and I’m sure when I need a new one (hopefully not too soon) I will buy the same brand.

I'm surprised that this weed eater worked so well. I thought inexpensive and lightweight meant so-so performance. And I'm glad that i was wrong. I am 5' tall with arthritis in my hands, so I needed this item to work. It was kinda easy to put together. I did have to watch a video on how to adjust the angle. This thing cuts thru any weeds and grass that I threw at it, even woody Aarons Beard stems. After 30 minutes it had only used one bar of the battery. Pros: lightweight, easy to use, works great Cons: the battery is INCREDIBLY difficult to remove from the battery charger. Sure I have arthritis in my hands, but seriously. I had to get a clamp to hold down the release button so that I could use two hands to pull/push the battery off of the charger. I was ready to flag down the nearest strong male on the street and ask for help.

I wanted to wait after a few uses. I think I've used it about 9-10 times now. So glad we got this. It is really light and makes trimming and edging seem almost fun now. Thinking back to my corded trimmer and always having to manually feed the line because the autofeed never worked right. The autofeed works on this almost flawlessly. I've only had to open the cap with the line twice. Once because I didn't autofeed in time and the line was no longer sticking out then the 2nd time was to swap it out. I just bought the 6 pack of line here on amazon because it was basically the same price. Durability and use. After reading the reviews and how hard it was to snap into place I confirmed it was, but I read some and the materials they use are very durable. I think I read it on their homepage that the plastic used was the same plastic on helmets, so I think it will last a long time. I only have about a 1/4 acre of a yard. The first use was not under easy conditions because it rained a lot and things were getting a little tall. Under normal conditions this thing flies through the jobs. Both batteries easily get me through the front and backyard and edging around the flowerbeds. Sadly we got lazy on our backyard flowerbed and now we have grass/weeds...so I just whack them down for now. I know you can't have the perfect "conditional" yard to cut every time because of rain and growth...so 2 batteries is pushed to the limit then because it does bog down in thicker conditions. Not so much that it stops, but it definitely slows down then picks back up once cut. It is light like everyone says, but I read somewhere here ( some elderly lady) where she crafted/engineered an old shoulder strap to help ease the load even more. I will tell you. I exercise and lift dumbbells 10x this weight, but hardly stopping now and moving...it does get heavy after awhile. So I have slowly been thinking how I can rig a shoulder strap. This will make it even faster. I feel my forearms after basically non-stop use of this. The Batteries seem to hold pretty good constant charge for me. I make sure they're both fully charged before I do any work. The only complaint I have, and it may only be mine...is that the charger itself is REALLY snug when snapping in. Snapping into the tool itself is very easy. I don't think my wife or kids would actually be able to unlock it from the charger as snug as it is right now. It works so well and the snug snapping on the charger is not enough to make me want to deduct a star. I plan to buy the hedger and blower next to have extra batteries and chargers. I think on one of them I'll just buy the tool itself. I think 3 batts and 2 chargers should suffice. If I find any anomalies during the summer I will surely report it here. I use amazon reviews like crazy and trust everyone's positive and negative reviews. So if I read enough...I suppose i'd jump off a bridge with yall. Even if I don't buy from Amazon (oops?) I still normally buy something they may stock and read their reviews. Sometimes I just need something right then lol. Sorry Amazon.

I’ve tried to think it was me, but the command feed is totally useless. I have to manually unwind string to the proper length and within seconds, it breaks to a piece about 3” long. This is when trimming 3” grass. I don’t think I’m asking too much of the line. I have done all of the worx suggestions to no avail. Overall, I’m happy with the trimmer but I’ve never owned such a frustrating line feed operation. The weight is light, batteries last better than I expected, the trimmer bogs down a little but picks up speed quickly. I wouldn’t recommend it if you have serious trimming to do unless you have the patience to feed the line every 10 ft of light trimming around your yard.

Very happy with Worx trimmer . Light and does excellent job of light duty trimming edging as it is intended for. String advance works wonderfully. Adjustable head for trimming edging is great design. Longevity is too be seen..very happy with purchase

Have had this trimmer for almost 4 years and love it! Nice and light, don't have to mess around with gas and oil, and just hit the trigger and go. The push button feed works well and is easy to use. It takes me around 20 minutes to trim my yard and one battery does it easily. If it quit today, I replace it with the same one.

Funciona bastante bien, lo malo es que con las 2 baterías trabajas solo 1 hora y cada una se recarga en 5 horas. Sería bueno tener carga rápida o que ambas baterías duren 2 horas

The Worx WG163 GT 3.0 20V Cordless Grass Trimmer is a powerful and lightweight tool that makes trimming a breeze. It's easy to handle and delivers precise results, making yard work much more manageable. It comes with two batteries, which is a great feature, but even with the extra battery, the overall battery life could be better. Having to swap and recharge batteries frequently can be a bit of a hassle. Overall, it's a great trimmer with room for improvement in battery performance.

Tenia un truper de cable. Me harte de andar cargando con el cable, ademas de que me fallaba seguido la alimentacion del hilo. Con este equipo Work, estoy mas que satisfecho. Mi jardin mide 20mts cuadrados y lo uso solo para las orillas y la pila aguanta varias cortadas (4-5) sin acabarse.

I have a gas weed eater that I always have a problem getting started. I thought at my age I need something simpler so I bought this product. My son put this together with no issues and I proceeded to get busy on the trimming of my yard. It is fairly lightweight and easy to manage. The battery life only lasts 15 to 20 minutes but since it comes with two batteries it's not an issue. I love the button on the handle to release more line. The price point is fantastic and I highly recommend this product
