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!

This is a great edger for someone older like me, in my mid 70's. It is lightweight and easy to handle. The only draw back is you need to use trim line made by Worx, otherwise, it won't advance. I got rid of a perfectly good edger because the line would not advance. I was using a comparable trim line. Don't make the same mistake.

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.

The battery of the trimmer is good. The safety and start button got stuck in the first use. I had to remove some screws and tried to fix it. Luckily I was able to solve the issue myself. However, I found one of the screw cannot be tightened back to the hole. The product design is with flaws and the quality of the product seems to be an issue. The strings with the Trimmer is also not durable at all. For the first use, I used the string a lot. The trimmer comes with only one spool and I had to order a bit more because of the string durability issue. It is also not easy to turn the angle of the trimmer head. The user's manual was terrible. The illustrations was not straightforward and there is totally no words there. Very difficult to understand how to turn the trimmer head. Had to watch some videos to get some ideas but still the design if flawed.

I needed a battery grass trimmer. Did a lot of research. It boils down to what you need and what size yard. Thy are all too expensive. This trimmer seams to meet my needs. It is light and has features that I use. The string seems to be much stronger than what I used before and don't have to adjust it very often. I used powerful gas trimmers which seemed to be overpowered but worked very well but used a lot of string. This one is very conservative on string wear and gets the job done. Motor looks small but runs great. I like the wheels for edging. overall it's worth the money. I would have givin it 5 stars but the batteries take 5 hours to charge. The charger is small and for a quick charge you have to but their more powerful quick charger for 30 dollars more but the new batteries did last more than stated. The battrery was down to 20 percent after about 20 minutes. Two batteries should give almost 1 hour of trimming I think. Note: I only used it one day and it did the job along a chain link fiene and 70 feet of curb.

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.
