The rubberized wheels provide traction and support for even, professional looking lines when you’re using the string trimmer. The head tilts 90° so you can trim on uneven patches of lawn. The adjustable spacer guard keeps protects the tops of flowers and plants. And at only 5.3 lbs. you can get your trimming and edging done without feeling fatigue from it. Two powerful 20V Power Share batteries are included with this purchase, which you can use on any tool on the WORX Power Share platform.

New Model is Perfect
The new design is very much easier to work when switching between edging and mowing hard to reach areas. Feels a bit heavier than my three older models but still easy to handle. However why was there NOT a holder for extra line which very much needed to keep from storing extras in my pocket

Top reviews from the United States

Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2017
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 been searching and reviewing weed eaters for months and settled on this one. It was a great decision. The price is reasonable and affordable, has great cutting power, you get 2 batteries, I did my yard with only needing one, cuts through thick grass, light weight and easy to use. This is the weed eater you want!!

This product is good for the price. Great! I would say best for regular low yard maintenance, even though it can work for knee height grass, just that higher the grass greater effort. The product is Light weight for those individuals who are unable to handle weights and heavy-duty work. Do not expect the performance of this product to be as a heavy-duty class weed whacker/trimmer but it is still good. The string has to be fed based on how rough the terrain is. Light grass and the feeding of string would be less. Heavier thicker grass or rough stony terrain and the string would obviously wear out more. I give it 4 stars because of course it's not heavy duty so there are limitations. I am satisfied for the price. Works well for me. Battery life about 20 mins. I have more batteries so I can put in an hour or more work. Sincere review form me to you.

Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2021
I am an experienced lawn maintenance, residential homeowner and have been using this WORX line trimmer for a while and can comment on it's strengths and (potential) weaknesses. Overall, it's a well-designed, good machine and does what I need it to do for maintaining my small residential lawn. This trimmer has many plastic parts which I hope will hold up for residential use with a 3-yr limited warranty. The auto line feed from the upper handle is very handy. This WORX trimmer is ESPECIALLY VALUABLE for cutting clean (vertical) lawn edges alongside concrete walks (which can be very difficult and frustrating with a line trimmer)... the side 'guide wheel(s)' are a 'must' for most of us to prevent our (vertical) lawn edges from looking like a 'bad haircut' alongside concrete. This WORX Line Trimmer in the vertical axis WILL do the job excellently with the help of it's side 'guide wheel(s)' (wheels work best when rolling on the concrete). You will also need some additional WORX pre-wound replacement line spools (also from Amazon.com). The 'standard' doublehelix line on these WORX spools is (sort of) ok but if you want to get the best results, rewind these spools with blue 0.065" Cyclone (professional) trimmer line which is MUCH BETTER line (also available from Amazon.com). With reasonable ability you can re-wind the spools yourself for better economy and less plastic in the landfill. As other users mention, the WORX battery recharger is slow to fully re-charge (comes with 2 rechargeable batteries) but not a 'dealbreaker' (1 hr charger IS available for ~ $38), but for my small yard and 2 batteries I have found the slower charger adequate (I never need more than 1 battery, but I recharge and alternate batteries). And (again) this WORX trimmer delivers a MUCH BETTER result (especially for a clean, sharp edge in the vertical plane along a concrete walkway and/or lawn edge) with the (blue) CYCLONE (USA made, professional) LINE. I would recommend and/or repurchase. UPDATE:
I have been using my Worx line trimmer for almost 1yr... It's an excellent tool and I would repurchase and/or recommend it especially with the blue/professional line mentioned (above). I use my WORX trimmer mostly vertically for trimming alongside concrete walkway/driveway and it works great and achieves a nice, sharp, clean edge.. IMPORTANT TIP: When using this trimmer in the vertical mode for the sharpest edge, PULL THE TRIMMER BACKWARDS (like you would use a garden hoe, walking backwards and PULLING it towards you) rather than 'pushing' forwards and you will get a cleaner/sharper edge. BUT BE CAREFUL NOT TO TRIP OR FALL (or over any objects/obstacles) while SLOWLY walking backwards. For trimming a clean, sharp lawn edge along a concrete sidewalk, I keep the guide wheels ON THE CONCRETE and SLOWLY walk backwards with the trimmer running as it produces a clean, sharp lawn edge adjacent to the concrete (I have found this works better than 'pushing' the string trimmer forward on the concrete). Vertical lawn edging with this Worx String Trimmer requires patience and concentration but with some practice it can certainly be mastered... For Best Results WORK SLOWLY and DON'T RUSH IT!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great whipper snipper

Liked how it functions and the battery life. Only negative was the assembly instructions could have been better. Wasn't obvious how to change the angle of the handle to the cutter. Overall a good addition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really happy with this trimmer
Reviewed in Canada on May 24, 2022
This trimmer does what it is supposed to do. I’ve had it for a couple of weeks now and the battery lasts long enough to trim my entire yard twice, which is better than I expected. The unit came with two batteries, so I keep one in the charger at all times to ensure I always have power when I need it. The string advance feature works well. The string itself is much thinner than I’m used to, but it works just as well as the thicker string I used with my old trimmer. This trimmer is light and easy to use and the edger feature is great! Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase.

Podría ser un excelente producto si la batería durará un poco más, pero el que traiga las dos lo compensa, recomendable para jardines o áreas de podar pequeñas
