WORX40V 14" Cordless Lawn Mower for Small Yards, 2-in-1 Electric Mower Cuts Quietly, Compact & Lightweight Push Lawn Mower with 6-Position Height Adjustment WG779 – 2 Batteries & Charger Included

All I can say is I had a WG743 (no brushless motor) and upgraded to WG745...WOW! What a huge difference! Power button is instant on this. My WG743 was always a 2-part start and sometimes wouldn't start at all unless it was being pushed. This WG745 is a smooth even cut and feels like it can keep going even after 1/8 acre of cutting (45 minutes). The collection bag holds a lot more grass than did my old bag (no comparison). I don't have to empty the bag every few rows like before. In fact, I did the whole lawn and only emptied at the end. Sticks and debris did not affect the mow. I am beyond thrilled and very happy with my upgrade but I will keep my lawn at 1-2 height so it can continue to be an easy chore. I highly recommend this WG745 for women who are sick of waiting for hired men to come around to cut the grass!!! Talk about power!

This mower is the bomb. I can push it with one hand to go under trees. It is a form of exercise walking along the yard pushing this. It takes nothing to push this mower. It cuts well and even cuts very tall grass. I got this because our riding mower could not do some parts of our very wet yard. Our large riding mower was getting stuck. I do not use this little mower when there is standing water, but just damp. This takes 2, 20 volt WORX batteries. The 20 volt 2.0ah batteries only last 20 minutes. I advise getting the 20 volt 4.0ah and larger batteries. The 4.0ah last about 40 mins. I use the mulcher insert only and don’t use the bag because it fills up fast and the grass leavings are good for the yard. It is easy to assemble. Just buy it.

Introduction:As a long-time Worx electric lawn mower user since 2011, having owned the WG788 (36V, 19-in) and the venerable WG771 (56V, 19-in), the new Worx Nitro 40V 21-inch (WG752) represents a significant evolution. This review offers a detailed comparison and first impressions after its initial use on a half-acre yard with varied terrain.Purchase & Value (Current as of June 15, 2025):The WG752 was acquired during a Father's Day sale at an "unbeatable price" ($299, now $289). Notably, this price includes both batteries and a charger, a significant value proposition given that the cost of these accessories purchased separately often exceeds the sale price of the entire mower.Battery & Charging Technology (A Major Leap Forward):Power System: The WG752 utilizes a 40V system (two 20V batteries), offering 5Ah capacity per battery for a total of 180 Wh (compared to the WG771's 126 Wh from two 56V 2.5Ah batteries). This represents a substantial increase in energy capacity.Battery Size: The 20V batteries are noticeably smaller, approximately 70% the size of the older 56V units, improving handling and storage.Charger: The new charger is a significant upgrade, capable of charging both batteries simultaneously, vastly improving efficiency compared to older single-bay chargers.Runtime: On its first run (cool, dry conditions), the new batteries covered a half-acre yard completely, with over 60% charge remaining (only two out of five indicator lights depleted). This suggests excellent runtime, even for larger yards.Cutting Performance & Efficiency:Cutting Width: The jump from 19-inch to 21-inch cut is a "big difference." This wider deck leads to "less back and forth, quicker yard work," and ultimately "more Sunday football game watch!"Overlap: While electric mowers typically require more overlap due to relatively lack of power than gas models (overlapping rerun cut of 20-30% to avoid "Mohawk" stripes - my personal preference to keep my lawn uniformly), the increased 21-inch width still translates to significantly less passes and reduced battery consumption per job.Power: Though electric mowers might not have the sheer brute force of gas, the improved battery and motor technology of the Nitro series provides ample power for clear and full cuts, minimizing reruns.Design Evolution & User Experience:Size & Weight: The WG752 is longer and wider than the WG771. Despite this, it is "VERY" light to operate, potentially negating the need for a self-propelled feature (which would add weight).Maneuverability: While the WG771 featured steering front wheels for easy navigation, the WG752 has fixed front wheels. This, combined with the wider deck, slightly sacrifices maneuverability. However, its exceptionally light weight makes it easy to overcome this and pivot as needed.Material Simplification: The WG752 incorporates "more plastics (probably reinforced for durability)" and features thinner metal handle rods and a simpler overall design compared to the metal housing and more complex features of the WG771.Pros of Simplification: Easier manufacturing, reduced cost, and lighter operation. --> lowering the price tag.Cons of Simplification: Durability will need further monitoring over time compared to the work horse WG771 that survived 10 seasons of abuse (two extra batteries, and three major repair works on various locations, fiberweld is a must-have item, until front steering wheel rod snapped).Folding & Storage: The mower features a dedicated carrying handle for easy transport when folded, allowing it to be pulled like two-wheel luggage and easily stowed.Motor Shut-off Lag: A curious observation is a 1-2 second lag in motor shut-off after releasing the trigger, unlike other electric tools that stop instantly. Users are advised to wait for the motor to completely stop before accessing the collection bag.Comparison to WG771 (aka The Work Horse):The WG771 was praised by me for its robust features: metal housing, built-in chute cover, steering front wheels, constant battery status, turbo/eco modes, quick folding, thick metal handle rods, and hose adapter. However, its multi-joint design may have contributed to wobbly moving, more parts to absorb vibration and abuse (possibly leading to catastrophic breaks). The WG752, while simplifying some of these (plastic blade cover housing, manual pull folding knobs, fixed wheels, no "orange" highlights nor indexing, no always on battery status display, no garden hose connector, and no built-in chute, which you need to attach the chute behind with screws, not easy switch) compensates with advanced battery tech and a lightweight design.Conclusion:The Worx Nitro 40V 21-inch mower (WG752) marks a significant advancement in electronic lawn care technology. It leverages improved battery and motor technology to deliver enhanced cutting performance and remarkable runtime. While some design elements have been simplified for cost and weight reduction, the core functionality and user experience are significantly improved, especially for efficiency and ease of operation. The trade-off in maneuverability due to fixed front wheels is largely offset by its incredibly light weight. For existing Worx users or those new to electric mowing, the WG752, particularly at its competitive price point, appears to be a compelling and future-forward choice. The reviewer optimistically anticipates its longevity, perhaps warranting a next review sometime in 2035.Thanks for reading this long review! Happy Father's Day to all Fathers!!

I'll update after some more use. But initially it looks like a decent purchase with a lot of potential.Box was damaged in shipment but the inner cardboard protected mower from damage. Though the box was stood on end, contrary to the up arrows, the mower survived.I did not remember the rear side shoot or plastic deck but won't ding for those as they are in the description. The rear discharge appears to work fine and will also allow for cutting closer than with a side chute.Assembly was fairly simple though the instruction booklet is not the best. There are 2 nuts to attach the handle, to clips to hold the cord to the handle, 3 screws to hold the chute together. Pull the mulch plug thats already inserted for bag or rear chute discharge.I absolutely love the handle. The padding isn't super thick which is fine as that sort of cover ends up tearing easily anyway. But it is ergonomically wonderful. The mower seems light enough and well balanced.One difference between the corded mowers I've used for 20 years and this battery mower is there is a slight pause for the motor to start after pushing the button. At first I thought the mower wasn't going to run but it did.So far it's smooth and relatively quiet. The wheels seem level and the deck height range seems to be adequate for my needs.I'll update after a full yard mow.
