Efficient, Environmentally Friendly Battery Power
The Worx Cordless Trimmer/Edger is powered by an efficient, lightweight, rechargeable 18-volt Lithium Ion battery pack, which delivers plenty of power without the added cost of gas, the hassle of extension cords, or the pollution associated with gas-powered alternatives. The WORX lithium battery packs are exceptionally lightweight and provide 3 times the useable life of standard Ni-Cd batteries. The battery pack will even work with your other WORX Lithium Power Share tools; just swap it out when you’re ready to move on to the next job. When you’re not using the WorxGT, it stows out of the way with the included wall mount. The battery charges in approximately 1/2 hour!

Ergonomic Design for Maximum Comfort
The Worx Cordless Trimmer/Edger features several adjustable parts, making it as comfortable as possible to use and allowing you to garden with greater ease. It’s built with ErgoSum Design Technology, so you can operate the WorxGT using a natural grip. The trimmer’s front handle has multiple adjustable positions, and the rear grip is angled for maximum comfort. The shaft of the trimmer extends or retracts with a simple twist to match the height of every user and adapt to every application.

The handle also pivots easily to go from trimming to edging in a matter of seconds. The head of the trimmer also pivots 90 degrees to make light work of sloped surfaces and gives you access to grass under low-lying branches. A fold-away guard and twin wheel set add protection and accuracy to give your yard a professionally manicured look. At just 5.3 pounds, it’s light enough for almost anyone to use. An automatic line feed keeps the trimmer from binding up and interrupting your work, and the 10-inch cutting radius covers plenty of ground.

The Worx GT 2-in-1 Cordless Lawn Trimmer/Edger is backed by a full two-year warranty.

WORX GT WG151.1 18-Volt Cordless Electric Lithium-Ion String Trimmer/Edger Reviews

Very pleased with the trimmer5
I decided to buy this trimmer after reading all the reviews for the Ni-cad one. I was hoping the Li-ion battery would give me extra run time. So far, I haven’t been able to run it down! I haven’t had enough trimming at one time to see how long it will go.

I have a friend that recommended this trimmer (although he has the ni-cad one). I must say that I’m pleased with it. I previously had a 24 volt one from Sears. It was a good trimmer, but heavy. The Worx is much lighter. It doesn’t have as much power as the Sears, but plenty for normal yard work. One of the first things I noticed is that it actually cuts better than my old Sears model. If you’re expecting a full blown replacement for a grass trimmer, you will probably be disappointed. It doesn’t have near that much power. But, if you’re realistic in your expectations, and have normal yard work, I think you’ll like it. If you go to the Worx web site, you can get your string for just the cost of shipping. I ordered six spools and it cost me about $6.00 for the shipping. That’s very reasonable in my book. The quality of the unit appears to be very good too. I am very satisfied with my purchase.

Great Suburban Yard Trimmer/Edger5
This trimmer has proved very serviceable for my 1/3 acre suburban lawn. It’s not as high powered as the gas driven other brands out there, but for general trimming around the foundation, flower beds, fence posts, etc. it’s a great machine.

I like the flexibility of the unit: the handle articulates, the aluminum shaft telescopes to adjust for user height, and the cutter head angle adjusts to insure comfortable horizontal trimming. Definitely, a well-designed unit from an ergonometric perspective. In the trimmer mode, the cutter guide/guard provides close, precise trimming without accidentally damaging plants or flowers, something hard to achieve with my old corded Toro. A few quick snaps and adjustments and the unit converts into a sidewalk or driveway edger. A caveat here: the unit trims nicely as an edger, but it’s not definitely not powered to trench cut with the trimmer cord. When I tried to get the machine to cut into the dirt next to the sidewalk, it balked and the trimmer string would not advance properly. If used just to edge the grass with a clean vertical cut, the unit performed nicely.

Power-wise, the GT’s lithium ion battery provides sufficient power to handle my 1/3 acre routine trimming on one full charge. The user manual indicated a 30 minute recharge cycle for a full recharge, but my recharges have been about 40-45 minutes–still a very quick recharge time compared to other battery-powered models. I pushed the unit by tackling some overgrown grass and weeds in the adjacent vacant lot and it cut them nicely, but they obviously strained the unit to the limits of its power capacity. It can handle that type of work, but if you have lots of it, you’re better off with another machine with more power.

If you’re in the market for a lightweight, easy to use, comfortable trimmer/edger with good power for general trimming and edging on a typically sized suburban lawn, the WE151.5 is a good choice. The old corded Toro trimmer I replaced with the Worx GT was nowhere near as versatile, convenient, or comfortable to use.

Great for normal trimming5
I was originally thinking of getting the original WG150 model from the infomercial when I happened across this new WG151 model and I’m glad I did. I had been using an expensive gas trimmer from a lawn specialty shop but the carburetor got gummed up and the shop was 3 weeks behind so I decided to look into one of the newer cordless electric models. There seemed to be a lot of complaints with the ni-cad battery of the original so it was the lithium ion battery of this model that sold me on it. It charges quickly in about 40 min for me and I can finish my trimming in about 30 min with charge left when I’m done. As others have stated, its not as powerful as a gas trimmer but cuts grass just fine. I wouldn’t use it to clear a field but works great for trimming around the house, fence, and swing set. I also find that it doesn’t nick up wood posts as bad if I accidentally get too close. This model is slightly upgraded as well as the edging wheels are now rubberized instead of just plastic. The auto feed head works very well for me, note that it does not feed while you trim, if you read the manual it only feeds when it is stopped and you start it up, sometimes if I let it get too short I have to stop and start it a few times to get it to full length, not a big deal since it is just pulling the trigger. Replacement spools are very inexpensive with the free spools for life program from the manufacturer, I ordered some right away and received them in about a week. Overall I am very pleased. Oh and much lighter than my gas trimmer as well so I find it much less of a chore to do so I am less likely to put off trimming until the next lawn mowing. Now only if they would make a lithium ion mower here in the states.
