Comment:
It was a great product for 2 years, until the <br />battery kicked out. 4 months after the warranty ran <br />out. Just after I boasted this product to neighbors,<br />the battery deceided, to just quit, for no reason.<br />Was thinking about getting the 24 volt version, now<br />i'm not so sure. May go back to electric.

Comment:
My model is a WG 165, 24volt system and it is great. The battery charge lasts for a little over an hour and edged and trimmed the whole time. It had been a couple of months since I edged and the 165 had no trouble cutting a neat edge on straight and curved lawn decorative edging.
How long have you owned it:
One-to-three months

Comment:
I am very motivated to go cordless. I hate the cord and don't want gas.<br /><br />This Worx looks good. It is a bit heavier than my cheap Black and Decker corded, and costs 3 times more. <br /><br />I was ashamed in my yard. The thing sounds like a trimmer but whips the grass cutting very little.<br />It did edge, but nothing special.<br /><br />So sad when it stops in 15 minutes. The same for the second battery. You can't recharge while working because a hot battery won't recharge. My yard is only 40'x60' but have many shrubs and a fence to cut around.<br /><br />After whipping the grass till the batteries ran out, I plugged in the little cheap Black and Decker and <br />finally trimmed everything. The little corded tool is lighter and actually cuts. <br /><br />I'll get my money back for this Worx this week. <br /><br />I feel sort of like a sucker to have bought it.
How long have you owned it:
A month or less
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
