WORX 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.

Worx builds some of the most robust cordless tools out there, hands down, and this weed trimmer/edger is no exception. Right out of the box, it feels well-built, sturdy, and thoughtfully designed. It has enough power to handle regular yard trimming without feeling underpowered, and the fact that it can also be used as an edger makes it even more useful. The 20V battery performs really well on a single charge, especially for normal residential yard work. I was able to get through trimming and edging without constantly worrying about the battery dying halfway through. It is also lightweight enough to use comfortably, but still feels solid enough that it does not come across as cheap or flimsy. Another thing I appreciate is the convenience of not dealing with gas, oil, pull cords, or loud engine noise. Just charge the battery, pop it in, and get to work. For anyone who already likes Worx cordless tools, this trimmer/edger fits right in with the same dependable quality. Overall, this is a great tool for keeping a yard looking clean and maintained. Strong battery life, good build quality, easy handling, and the versatility of trimming and edging make it a solid 5-star purchase.

I've used my Worx Trimmer/edger about 4 times and it has taken me all that time to figure out a few things. First of all the string would break and not feed with the push button. I live on a large corner lot and I wanted to edge my curb of overgrown grass, dirt and creeping charlie. Every time I was progressing and loving it, my string would break, back up to the garage I went and "fixed" it, went back and started again. Same thing happened over and over. I'm sure my neighbors were quite amused with this crazy 70 year old woman who can't use an edger! So I took the string spool out and rewound it(takes about 20 seconds).In some areas the string was wound so tight I had a hard time getting it unwound by hand! Problem solved, works perfectly! I do this with all my spools before inserting them. Also make sure the string goes directly into the feed hole, not under or over the spool or it will not feed string. One thing I'm not sure about is having to step on the head to switch from wacker to edger. This may be an area which could prematurely wear. I'll cross that bridge if and when it happens. So far I love it now. It's lightweight, easy to use(now) and has plenty of power for my needs. I do not try to cut down small trees! Get a commercial one for that! I did buy the 1 hour charger, the one that came with didn't cut it. Took way to long to charge and I bought extra spools.

I am a single female who has an unfortunate amount of yard work. I gave up on the gas-powered weed trimmer that was a leftover from my former marriage. I spent more time figuring out the line than trimming. It killed my back and shoulders. Last but not least, with gas powered yard machines I never know how much oil to mix, what kind of gas to put in and so forth. I am not mechanical. So, my quest for an easier and lighter weed trimmer began. I landed on this Worx Trimmer due to Amazon reviews and popularity, along with other marketplace reviews. I have used the weed trimmer after three mowing cycles. So far: no regrets. It is economical. I have almost an acre of yard, so the second battery comes in very handy. If I decide I want a third battery I can pick up another for about $40. An added bonus, for the mechanically-challenged I took out the offered four-year warranty for less than five bucks, a no brainer for me. So how does it perform? I love it. A friend stopped by the other day and complimented me on how nice the yard looked. The trimmer is lightweight, and I have a health issue that causes chronic pain at forty-something. The weight, or lack thereof, is a huge relief compared to the gas trimmer collecting dust and spider webs in the garage. I realize the batteries will lose some steam, but right now I have enough to take care of my yard. It is so easy to feed line to that a child could do it. Need I say more? I went back and forth, back and forth with this and another well known brand that starts with a B. Again: mechanically-challenged. I hadn't heard of this brand. So glad chose the Worx WG163 Grass Trimmer. If it works for me, it will work for you! If you found my review somewhat helpful please click/tap the yes icon. Thank you so much!

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.

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 appreciate having a trimmer that can also edge. It’s a great concept but it’s been difficult for me personally to operate. Others make it look so easy to change modes from trimmer to edger however it takes multiple attempts and all my strength to make that change. It’s labeled as fairly light weight but becomes really heavy for me after a short while. This is the first time using a battery operated trimmer and it runs out of power sometimes before I’m finished. I am on a corner and do have extra trimming but it’s disappointing when the battery dies. This is also the first time using a trimmer with only1 string instead of 2. I’m trying to get used to that but it seems terribly underpowered and I have to advance the string quite often. I thought it was to supposed to automatically advance the line. I’m not going to return it but I can’t say that I love it.

WORX 20V 2-n-1 trimmer edger has been going strong for me over a year of weekly use. One of the 20V rechargeable batteries received with it soon began to lose charge quickly. It does not last half as long as the other battery although they look the same visually. This WORX tool has been a huge help in keeping my yard and stepstone walkways looking neat. I have had surgeries on both my shoulders in the last 10 years. The weight of the tool is still manageable even with that challenge and I'm an average size female over 50yrs old. I do like the one-touch button feed of the trimmer string. Because of the shoulder problems mentioned, I have little strength in the pulling motion required to pull out more string on many trimmers or to start a mower. The one-touch feed does not push out as much string as would be more convenient. The button has to be pushed very frequently, or pushed many times once in a while depending on what type of trimming is being done to keep the string at a functional length. Overall, the mobility of lightweight build while still being a sturdy and useful tool gives this tool a solid 4 stars. It would be 4.5 if both batteries functioned at full-life capacity. I substitute the short-life battery for a different one to get most of my work done in one continuous session. I do recommend WORX rechargeable tools for most general yard work for the average homeowner. I would not use them for larger rural properties.

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

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

Cortadora muy eficiente y fácil de manejar y dar mantenimiento (Limpieza)

Es un buen producto. No es muy potente, pero sí corta muy bien el césped de mi jardín. Lo probé en el pasto de la calle, ese que nace entre las piedras de las calzadas, es un pasto muy duro y la máquina logró cortarlo en 3 o 4 pasadas. La batería dura unos 30 minutos, es muy ligera, práctica y muy fácil de manejar.
