Excellent review! I’m very impressed with how well this mower performed on the tall, sturdy grass in the field! I prefer to leave my clippings on the lawn. Therefore, a bagless option with a side discharge and mulcher would be awesome. Otherwise this is a Great value. Thanks for sharing.
Very useful review. I was looking into electric mower as my thermic just broke down. I'm already owning Worx equipment so I've got 2 spare batteries to be used with this WG779. I belive I need to to decide to move to this technology and forget thermal mower once for good ! Thank you !
This is a great help was looking at one of these today with the strimmer included in argos clearance at £89.99 but wanted to see reviews first. Hope they haven't sold out. Defiantly be going back tomorrow to grab one. Thank you once again.
Thanks for showing it working on long grass. We live in the country and our grass grows very irregularly. Having work both on shorter and longer grass would be a big plus.
Great review, thanks, Mark. I've ordered one from Amazon as I'm fed up with getting the hump watching out for and having to move the power cord around on our old Bosch mower. I've also ordered 2 Dsanke 5.0ah 20v batteries so can have 2 on charge or charged ready . Cheers again, Daz, Leicester.
I just bought one of these and assembled it. I like the slowimg down at key areas. The only way this video could have been improved is by showing the handle being snapped into place on the grass box and the grass box itself being attached.
Vidéo top&merci pour ces bonnes explications,je viens d'acheter le même modèle,pas encore déballer me réjouis de voir le résultat de mon jardin une fois tondue👍🏻💪
It’s s perfect mower I cut grass and obviously petrol mowers are more powerful and I use on my customers lawns but for my lawn which I cut more often it’s perfect I use the power share batteries on all my tools from ,angle grinder to strimmer ,leaf blower .drills etc batteries are amazing I used to fit furniture for a living and my worx drill I had in 2015 batteries are still good and I used that every day . Lawn mower great price I was using a mighty mo by Flymo and when that battery let me down after 3 years A I found it hard to replace and the battery is as expensive as the mower
Worx are a great brand and over the years i stared with the worx hydro shot and its a great power washer for washing the car and bike and even the house windows to the point i have had neighbors ask to use it , then a little later i got a works hedge trimmer and both have worked flawlessly and for lawn care i used to use a Mculluch petrol trimmer and a super old but reliable 30 year old petrol flymo hover mower, but replaced the trimmer with a Worx WG163E.1 Trimmer and it has been fantastic and just today i took delivery of the worx WG743E.1 40cm lawnmower that comes with 2 4.0ah battery's, so I am hopeful that this will replace my old petrol flymo. I love how with worx all the battery's are interchangeable and quality has never let me down, my only concern for the lawn mower is still run time but i will have to wait for a non rainy day to actually test
@@EasyLawnMowing Its been over a month and its been great, first the bad the frame of the lawn mower seems to flex way to much and this brings quality questions and with every use i feel like i will break it but looking past that if i maintain my grass i never use more than 50% on eco though i have noticed if i use turbo the battery's get pretty hot but over all i am happy with it, and recently due to the rain i had not cut the grass for several weeks and the grass was pushing 4 or 5 inchs but the little worx for the most part handled it well on eco even though the grass was damp. On amusing note it is funny to watch as people walk past and giving you weird looks as they do not understand how you are mowing without a power cord ... till the realize its battery powered
Excellent & very informative video....the 4.0Ah Batteries which are available on the WG779E.1 model take exactly the same time to charge up (2 hours) and actualy last twice as long! so if you need a longer run time then this might be your better option.
Hi Napoleon Thanks so much for your feedback, you are right about the music. Latest video have no music when I'm talking and lower music elsewhere. Thanks Mark
Thanks for posting. Just got a similar Worx model, so I was glad to see a review and demo on a Worx mower. Just tested it out myself. Worked very well. I did discover that it will mow through some pretty fierce grass and weeds (it was over due)! For others considering it, if you have some tall/weeded areas, you will use up battery pretty quickly. Once it is trimmed though, you can maintain using eco mode and run through less juice.
Great demo! Thanks ! One question, the model WG744E.9 40cm lawn mower what ‘s the difference apart from the size? The cutting heights and the power of the battery ?
Hi Thank you for that review Just one thing that may have been missed. How do you store this lawn mower as I see there is scope for adjusting the lawnmower to store in small sheds.
Hi Caroline, yes the handles fold flat as does the grass box, reducing the amount of storage space. There is no vertical storage with this mower, so will need to sit on the floor or shelf. See link below, under practicalities you will see a photo of it being stored. Hope this helps Mark easylawnmowing.co.uk/worx-wg779e-2-cordless-lawn-mower/#Practicalities
Hi Steve As far as know and according to the manual you will need to have both batteries in and charged (same Ah) for the mower to work to the specified runtime. Thanks Mark
Good review, I would like to know if the bag can withstand damp grass? As it's made of cloth, I don't like the sound of it. Would the grass stick to the cloth over time? Can it clean easily? Would it get mouldy? This is my only concern
Thank you Sheila for your message. The cloth grass collection boxes are great for better air circulation and for more compact storage. Yes it is true that they are more difficult to clean compared to their all solid counterparts as you can simply hose them inside and wash them out. The cloth on the WORX however is of a high standard compared to other brands I have tested. You do need to ensure that if you are cutting damp grass that you dry the collection box out before storing it away, otherwise there is a potential for it to become mouldy and rot over time. Thanks Mark
Ty so much for your video it's really helped. My dad has recently become ill and he loves his garden and still wants to cut the grass even though he shouldn't (pretty hard to get him to sit down) his lawn is small but the greenest grass with no weeds I've ever seen. He has give me the mammoth task of looking for cordless Mowers. I've literally spent my whole day looking I'm nearly an expert ha ha ha. It's ok looking at reviews but I'm glad I've seen it cut with this model. Huge ty for that. Having had the model for a while now...what do you think of it. Are your opinions and values still the same? I love honest opinions. I have noticed some say the grass box fills quick, or it won't go into the bag easily. I think it's due to the length of the grass and if it's damp. Maybe some people cut there grass like that lol.
Hi Tuppy Thanks so much for you kind comment. This is a great compact and lightweight mower. I have given mine to my neighbour who is 90 years old and he loves it. He does have a small lawn and cuts it on a regular basis. Yes, it's not going to perform that well on very long and damp grass, but this is the same for any comparable cordless mower. Thanks again. Mark
@@EasyLawnMowing Aww that's so kind of you Mark. After much time spent reading reviews I opted for the Black & Decker He loves it. So once again ty for your reviews they are really helpful 🤗
Thanks for the great review! I bought this one but have an issue I can't seem to solve. An awful lot of grass just keeps lying on the ground after I've mowed it. It almost looks like it's in mulching mode, but I don't think there's a separate function for that. Hope you can help out.
Hi Stein, some models of the WORX WG779E.2 come pre-fitted with a mulching plug. Please ensure you lift the flap at the back of the mower and remove the mulching plug. Please let me know how you get on.
Great review! I ended up purchasing after watching this. I do have a question you might be able to answer. Ive took it out for a test run yesterday after weeks of regular rain. The grass was pretty thick and damp but it had been at least 24hr since the last rainfall. I set the WG779E.2 to the highest setting and to turbo for this reason, but I found it constantly stalled, even with freshly recharged batteries. It seems like you had no problem getting thru that tall grass, and was just curious if you experienced any stalls. Im new to the world of electric mowers so maybe this is normal?
Thanks for your positive feedback. Longer grass will take many days to dry out. Until the grass it dry it will be more challenging for any mower to cut through. I just tried out the Murray cordless mower, there was dew on the grass that morning and in the longer and thicker grass, it did cut out several times too. What you are experiencing is common with all but the most high end cordless mowers such as the EGO LM1701E SP. Hope this helps.
What I do when the grass is high, think, or wet is adjust my height to the tallest setting. If that does not help, then tilt the mower front up as if it was doing a wheelie. That will cut down the tall grass and then go back over the same grass in the normal position.
Hi Lisa, thanks for your comments, I didn't have any issues with the collection bag, do you know specifically what issues others have experienced? I will then be able to help further.
Im in market for new mower but instead of ryobi like normally go with, trying another brand. Was thinking makita but they get expensive. Worxs and kobalt im told are decent lawn mowers, so far worx looks interesting but so does kobalt. How does it do against thick wet grass? Sometimes it can rain a bit for few days and grass gets tad thick and old ryobi struggled sometimes.
Hi Ming, the WORX mowers do perform really well, however they will struggle, like any cordless mower, with thick wet grass. Just make sure you have the mower on the highest setting and wait for the grass to dry out. If you are looking for a cordless mower to cut more demanding lawns, then you are looking to purchase a more premium model such as the EGO, Cobra for example, however the price will be much higher.
Hi. You can contact the following company for replacement blades. Mow Spares 17A Norwich Street Fakenham Norfolk NR21 9AF Open from 9am until 5pm Monday’s to Fridays, except on UK bank holidays. You can phone them on 01328 442 442
Hi. No as the fittings may be different. This company did produce there own to fit this mower so it’s not a genuine WORX blade. Let me know how you get on.
I want to fold ip my mower, but I’m afraid it will fall apart and I’ll have to re-assemble. Could you post a video of how to fold it up for storage? Thank you!
Hi Linda, to fold the mower, just unscrew the quick release handles at both the mid and lower point, but do not unscrew them completely. This way they will fold and you will not have to reassemble in the spring. I will include this in future videos. Hope this helps.
Thanks so much for the reply. I did try to fold down before I wrote to you. I had problem with the rear but the front,smaller screws seemed ready to fall apart and I freaked and screwed them back!😮 I think I have to watch you do it on a video. Appreciate it if you’d notify me when you post it! Thanks again. Linda
Hi Paul, thanks for your message. My personal recommendation would be the WORX mower in terms of value for money and performance. The Bosch aftercare support, parts and build quality are slightly superior to the WORX, but overall in summary the WORX is the one I would recommend. Thanks Mark
Hi JHL - I have spoken with WORX and they have told me that the mowers are the same. So the only difference is the additional trimmer. Many thanks - Mark
Hi I've just bought one of these mowers, please can you tell me as I'm a little confused it mentions it's a mulching mower, you dont mention this also if it Is a mulching mower why does it have a grass box to collect ? We've just tried ours for the first time and no grass goes into the collection box I had no idea about mulching until looking at videos to see why it wasnt picking up. Any help would be greatly appreciated thankyou
Hi Thanks for your message. You are not the first to contact me about this. When I did the review of the WORX WG 779E.2 it did not have the mulching plug here in the UK - only in the US. It now seems to be provided with the mulching plug which is great as you now have the option to either mulch or collect the cuttings. There is an article I wrote on the website that explains more about mulching, when to use it and when not too. easylawnmowing.co.uk/the-benefits-of-mulching-grass/ I will add a note to the review to let people know it now comes with a mulching plug. Hope this helps. Thanks. Mark easylawnmowing.co.uk/worx-wg779e-2-cordless-lawn-mower/
@@EasyLawnMowing hi thanks for your information. Nothing is said in the handbook about it. So does that mean I have a choice to mulch or not if so any idea how I change it. Thankyou.
Yes you can choose. Just pull out the mulching plug and it will then collect. I’m not sure how on this mower as mine did not have it, I wish it did! You could look at this video where I remove the mulching plug, should be similar. Thank Mark. czcams.com/video/8ncfSgdhHxs/video.html
Hi Mohamed, please ensure that you have the mulching plug removed. When the mower arrives the manufacturer inserts the mulching plug so it is not loose in the box and needs to be removed if you want to use the cut and collect option.
Hi Liam Mine did not come supplied with the mulch plug, but I now believe they are supplying it as standard. Some people have contacted me to say their WORX is not picking up the cuttings, this is because the mulching plug is inserted at the factory. The mulch plug is pre-inserted into the rear exit chute and should be removed if you want to collect the grass cuttings. Thanks Mark
Hi, the model you ordered does it have a single bar running across the bars, or 2 separate leavers on each side? What is the exact model number and where did you order it from? Thanks
Hi, the model you have ordered is almost identical to the WG779E.2 (newer model, just a few slight design changes with the bars and the grass collection box) and is the model that is shipped with the trimmer and 2.0Ah batteries.
Yes only 1/3 of the length of the grass should be cut at any one time, to ensure the grass is not stressed. Start at the highest setting and work your way down, if really long. Thanks
Hi Terry No, sorry no video installing the grass box. Make sure you lift the flap fully up before trying to attach the box as it may catch if not. Also, make sure the cloth sides of the grass collection box are clipped into the metal frame fully as it looks like this may also make a little tricky to attach. Also the plastic flap on the box should slide inside the mower, if this has been bent it be catching as you drop the box. If you email me directly (info@easylawnmowing.co.uk) I can send you some photos or even a short video showing the above suggestions. Let us know how you get on. Thanks Mark
@@EasyLawnMowing I put it up on a table to see it better,got it working.For me it's better to do the right side first then the left side,not both at the same time.
I was happy with this mower until I ran over a large dog bone and the mower stopped. The blade was bent, so I straightened it as best I could, but the mower would not restart. Cannot find reset button, and WORX customer support is not easy to access. Anyone know what to do?
Hi Robert, as far as know there is no reset button and it is most likely that the motor is now damaged. Keep trying with WORX support as eventually they should come back to you. Keep us posted. Thanks
Brilliant mower still, even after 4 years, BUT you NEED 4Ah batteries. if mine ever becomes unrepairable, I will be replacing it with another worx, the Brushless variant.
Mine is brand new. The charging port it came with was faulty and never worked. I ordered another and finally charged the batteries and 1st day to try the mower. It constantly stalling out on me anywhere the ground is not perfectly flat (just slight inclines). I am not sure what to do, but currently it isn't usable.
Hi, this would happen on any cordless mower where the blade is put under too much strain. Where your lawn is long or bumpy you will need to raise the mower's cutting height accordingly, to prevent scalping the ground. What height did you have the mower set on?
@@EasyLawnMowing it actually fixed itself after 2 uses! The charger was broken upon arrival and the box beaten up, so I am guessing something came loose on it and it vibrated back in place. 0 issues now and I love it! Thanks for the review.!
Hiya. I have a problem, I fully charged my batteries but when I put them in the mower, it shows the batteries are low and doesn't start the mower? Can you help
I am not sure, this doesn't sound like you are doing anything wrong. Is the charger indicating that the batteries are fully charged, but when you remove them from the charger and check the level is shows otherwise? If so, if the mower is still within warranty contract WORX, they should be able to help. Their support tel number is 03452029679.
I have one and have used it a dozen times. The blade is made of trash that cannot withstand the impact of even small twigs without seriously damaging the edge. Do not waste your money unless you are prepared to fit an aftermarket blade that has real strength but good luck unless you have mechanical skills and tools needed to modify a blade.
Hi Thanks for your comment and feedback. I have not had this problem with mine and it's the mower I use on a regular basis. I even give it to my 90 year old neighbour to cut his grass and he loves it due to the compact size and lightweight. Regards Mark
I made a big mistake in buying this expensive mower. I only used it 2 times and now it does not work.I just threw money down the drain, The batteries only last for a few minutes. I am not about to buy more batteries because they are expensive.I do not recommend anyone to buy it.
Hi Stephanie, sorry to hear you are having problems with this mower. Are you sure it is this model? I personally use this one in my own garden and have never had a problem with it. If you have only used it twice, then you should contact the company you purchased it from for a replacement or a refund, as this must be faulty. Don't forget that you also have your warranty, meaning that it would be covered if you only used it twice. Let me know how you get on.
That's a little mower and underpowered . Stick to my gas. Have 6.75 kawasaki with 21 " cut self-propelled. Can cut the yard twice with a full tank. Not ready for electric.
Thanks for your feedback and sharing your experience. I personally use this mower myself and have not experienced this issues. The batteries will need to be replaced after 2-3 years depending on the usage, this could be the reason as you had the mower since 2018. Mark
Thank you for your very thorough review of the features and assembly instructions. Good job!

Hi Lisa, thanks for your comments, I didn't have any issues with the collection bag, do you know specifically what issues others have experienced? I will then be able to help further.
Great review but I found it is Very hard to get spare parts on Amazon or distributor in UK. USA won't ship out if the country
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Very good review is the blade easy to replace
Thanks for your feedback, yes it is easy to replace the blade and only takes a few minutes. Follow the safety instructions in the manual.
Im in market for new mower but instead of ryobi like normally go with, trying another brand. Was thinking makita but they get expensive. Worxs and kobalt im told are decent lawn mowers, so far worx looks interesting but so does kobalt. How does it do against thick wet grass? Sometimes it can rain a bit for few days and grass gets tad thick and old ryobi struggled sometimes.
Hi Ming, the WORX mowers do perform really well, however they will struggle, like any cordless mower, with thick wet grass. Just make sure you have the mower on the highest setting and wait for the grass to dry out. If you are looking for a cordless mower to cut more demanding lawns, then you are looking to purchase a more premium model such as the EGO, Cobra for example, however the price will be much higher.
Any information on replacement blades? Cleanup after mowing like can you spray it down with a hose?

@@EasyLawnMowing oh you can't just use any equal length blade?
Hi. No as the fittings may be different. This company did produce there own to fit this mower so it’s not a genuine WORX blade. Let me know how you get on.
My Worx 40V WG779 stopped working. How do I troubleshoot?
Please contact WORX technical support - uk.worx.com/support/

You're welcome!
I want to fold ip my mower, but I’m afraid it will fall apart and I’ll have to re-assemble. Could you post a video of how to fold it up for storage? Thank you!
Hi Linda, to fold the mower, just unscrew the quick release handles at both the mid and lower point, but do not unscrew them completely. This way they will fold and you will not have to reassemble in the spring. I will include this in future videos. Hope this helps.
Thanks so much for the reply. I did try to fold down before I wrote to you. I had problem with the rear but the front,smaller screws seemed ready to fall apart and I freaked and screwed them back!😮 I think I have to watch you do it on a video. Appreciate it if you’d notify me when you post it! Thanks again. Linda
I had NO Problem with the rear screws, meant to say, and it folded down easily! Just worried about the front ones.
I have watched this video and the one on the Bosch mower, both seem good, which one would you recommend?
Hi Paul, thanks for your message.
My personal recommendation would be the WORX mower in terms of value for money and performance. The Bosch aftercare support, parts and build quality are slightly superior to the WORX, but overall in summary the WORX is the one I would recommend.
Thanks
Mark
@@EasyLawnMowing very helpful thank you.
What’s the difference between this and the model WG927E I’m about to buy mine today
Hi JHL - I have spoken with WORX and they have told me that the mowers are the same. So the only difference is the additional trimmer. Many thanks - Mark
Hi I've just bought one of these mowers, please can you tell me as I'm a little confused it mentions it's a mulching mower, you dont mention this also if it Is a mulching mower why does it have a grass box to collect ? We've just tried ours for the first time and no grass goes into the collection box I had no idea about mulching until looking at videos to see why it wasnt picking up. Any help would be greatly appreciated thankyou
Hi Thanks for your message. You are not the first to contact me about this. When I did the review of the WORX WG 779E.2 it did not have the mulching plug here in the UK - only in the US. It now seems to be provided with the mulching plug which is great as you now have the option to either mulch or collect the cuttings. There is an article I wrote on the website that explains more about mulching, when to use it and when not too. easylawnmowing.co.uk/the-benefits-of-mulching-grass/ I will add a note to the review to let people know it now comes with a mulching plug. Hope this helps. Thanks. Mark easylawnmowing.co.uk/worx-wg779e-2-cordless-lawn-mower/
@@EasyLawnMowing hi thanks for your information. Nothing is said in the handbook about it. So does that mean I have a choice to mulch or not if so any idea how I change it. Thankyou.
Yes you can choose. Just pull out the mulching plug and it will then collect. I’m not sure how on this mower as mine did not have it, I wish it did! You could look at this video where I remove the mulching plug, should be similar. Thank Mark. czcams.com/video/8ncfSgdhHxs/video.html
My grass collection bag does not work on my Worx Cordless Lawn Mower.
Hi Mohamed, please ensure that you have the mulching plug removed. When the mower arrives the manufacturer inserts the mulching plug so it is not loose in the box and needs to be removed if you want to use the cut and collect option.
Hey, I just got it today but it keeps stopping a second after it starts, any help?
Hi Dylan - Do you manage to resolve this issue? Was the safety key inserted fully? Please let me know if the mower had a fault. Many thanks - Mark
This mower ‘s power is equivalent to the petrol mower or less ?
No, this model would not rival that of a petrol mower, you would be looking at a much higher end (more costly) cordless model.
How long dose the batteries last
Hi
Runtime is around 35 minutes for the (x2 20V 2.0Ah batteries) depending on the condition of the lawn.
Thanks
Mark
Not long. Expect 10 minutes on full power 15 minutes on eco.
@@tonxlookatlife7242 thanks
where is the mulch plate and should I remove it?
Hi Liam
Mine did not come supplied with the mulch plug, but I now believe they are supplying it as standard. Some people have contacted me to say their WORX is not picking up the cuttings, this is because the mulching plug is inserted at the factory.
The mulch plug is pre-inserted into the rear exit chute and should be removed if you want to collect the grass cuttings.
Thanks
Mark
Ive just ordred the WORX WG927E, i presume this is the newer model?
Hi, the model you ordered does it have a single bar running across the bars, or 2 separate leavers on each side? What is the exact model number and where did you order it from? Thanks
Argos: 792/8879 WORX WG927E Cordless 34cm Mower & Trimmer Kit - 2 Batteries.
Hi, the model you have ordered is almost identical to the WG779E.2 (newer model, just a few slight design changes with the bars and the grass collection box) and is the model that is shipped with the trimmer and 2.0Ah batteries.
Don't cut long grass as the batteries won't last or even worse the motor will burn out.
Yes only 1/3 of the length of the grass should be cut at any one time, to ensure the grass is not stressed. Start at the highest setting and work your way down, if really long. Thanks
Is that an all plastic mowing deck?
Yes the deck is plastic as on most cordless mowers of this size. Mark
Will the bigger/taller 20v still fit ?
Yes you can use the larger 4.0Ah battery.

GOON MOWER
Thanks for you comment. The WORX mowers are good all round value mowers.
Do you have a video of in stalling the grass bager?,I can’t get mine on right and it falls off,I’m doing something wrong.
Hi Terry
No, sorry no video installing the grass box.
Make sure you lift the flap fully up before trying to attach the box as it may catch if not.
Also, make sure the cloth sides of the grass collection box are clipped into the metal frame fully as it looks like this may also make a little tricky to attach.
Also the plastic flap on the box should slide inside the mower, if this has been bent it be catching as you drop the box.
If you email me directly (info@easylawnmowing.co.uk) I can send you some photos or even a short video showing the above suggestions.
Let us know how you get on.
Thanks
Mark
@@EasyLawnMowing I put it up on a table to see it better,got it working.For me it's better to do the right side first then the left side,not both at the same time.
Same problem here
I was happy with this mower until I ran over a large dog bone and the mower stopped. The blade was bent, so I straightened it as best I could, but the mower would not restart. Cannot find reset button, and WORX customer support is not easy to access. Anyone know what to do?
Hi Robert, as far as know there is no reset button and it is most likely that the motor is now damaged. Keep trying with WORX support as eventually they should come back to you. Keep us posted. Thanks
Hey Robert did you fix your problem? I have same issue
@@jesseislas2649 No, I finally just returned the mower to Amazon. Found a little Ryobi at Home Depot that has worked out fine in the year since.
does this come with the charger please
Hi Astaria, yes this mower is supplied with a dual port charger.
do you know where I can buy the 4 hour batteries from please. I live in France
does it have a rear roller?
Hi Zaeem
Yes it does have a rear roller.
Thanks
Mark
@@EasyLawnMowing thank you
Great review, please lose the irritating background music
Hi Reigate Robot, thanks for your feedback, yes I have now adjusted the music in my more recent video reviews.
Many thanks
Mark
Brilliant mower still, even after 4 years, BUT you NEED 4Ah batteries. if mine ever becomes unrepairable, I will be replacing it with another worx, the Brushless variant.
Thanks for much for sharing your experience of this mower, it is much appreciated. Mark
Mine is brand new. The charging port it came with was faulty and never worked. I ordered another and finally charged the batteries and 1st day to try the mower. It constantly stalling out on me anywhere the ground is not perfectly flat (just slight inclines). I am not sure what to do, but currently it isn't usable.
Hi, this would happen on any cordless mower where the blade is put under too much strain. Where your lawn is long or bumpy you will need to raise the mower's cutting height accordingly, to prevent scalping the ground. What height did you have the mower set on?
@@EasyLawnMowing it actually fixed itself after 2 uses! The charger was broken upon arrival and the box beaten up, so I am guessing something came loose on it and it vibrated back in place. 0 issues now and I love it! Thanks for the review.!
@@hn3864 Thanks for the update, pleased that it has worked out and you are happy with this mower.
Hiya. I have a problem, I fully charged my batteries but when I put them in the mower, it shows the batteries are low and doesn't start the mower? Can you help
I am not sure, this doesn't sound like you are doing anything wrong. Is the charger indicating that the batteries are fully charged, but when you remove them from the charger and check the level is shows otherwise? If so, if the mower is still within warranty contract WORX, they should be able to help. Their support tel number is 03452029679.
I have one and have used it a dozen times. The blade is made of trash that cannot withstand the impact of even small twigs without seriously damaging the edge. Do not waste your money unless you are prepared to fit an aftermarket blade that has real strength but good luck unless you have mechanical skills and tools needed to modify a blade.
Hi
Thanks for your comment and feedback.
I have not had this problem with mine and it's the mower I use on a regular basis.
I even give it to my 90 year old neighbour to cut his grass and he loves it due to the compact size and lightweight.
Regards
Mark
@@EasyLawnMowing I am beginning to think that the manufacturer failed to heat treat the blade.
Batteries last about 10 mins for me. Shame because its a good cutter.
How long have you had your mower or are you getting these cutting times from a new mower, as this doesn't sound right. Thanks
@@EasyLawnMowing First ever use of my mower. Granted the grass was about a foot long and overgrown.
I made a big mistake in buying this expensive mower. I only used it 2 times and now it does not work.I just threw money down the drain, The batteries only last for a few minutes. I am not about to buy more batteries because they are expensive.I do not recommend anyone to buy it.
Hi Stephanie, sorry to hear you are having problems with this mower. Are you sure it is this model?
I personally use this one in my own garden and have never had a problem with it. If you have only used it twice, then you should contact the company you purchased it from for a replacement or a refund, as this must be faulty.
Don't forget that you also have your warranty, meaning that it would be covered if you only used it twice. Let me know how you get on.
That's a little mower and underpowered . Stick to my gas. Have 6.75 kawasaki with 21 " cut self-propelled. Can cut the yard twice with a full tank. Not ready for electric.
I’ve had one ☝🏼 of these since 2018. It’s SHIT. power goes after 10 minutes, the batteries are rubbish
Thanks for your feedback and sharing your experience. I personally use this mower myself and have not experienced this issues. The batteries will need to be replaced after 2-3 years depending on the usage, this could be the reason as you had the mower since 2018. Mark
@@EasyLawnMowing don’t lie
It's a toy mower. Looks like something Tonka would make.
That's a damn toy!
