Worx String Trimmer Cordless GT3.0 20V PowerShare 12" Edger & Weed Trimmer (2 Batteries & Charger Included) WG163

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.
