Love Worx
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love all the Worx tools, the weed trimmer, blower, hedge trimmer and the cordless drill we own.

Very good quality
Great trimmer, had the smaller size for over 10 years. Very durable. New one’s angle for edging not as comfortable as my old one. Might be me, still trying to figure out.

Two generations of string trimmers
This trimmer is powerful and the double string uses that power to make short work of even sizeable woody brush. This tool is not a replacement, but rather a companion to my first worx string trimmer, whose serial number begins with 2013!! This old tool still works well but the plastic handle finally fatigued and broke. A purchase of a generic trimmer extension handle keeps this tool working in the weeds. Thanks worx!! Two Good tools. I could rave about the many others I own.

13” Trimmer Not Very Good
I do not like this trimmer at all! The string goes so fast constantly have to add more. It does not do anywhere near as good of a job as the Worx 12” trimmer I have had for a long time. I have no idea if I can send it back but I would strongly recommend buying the 12”

EXCELLANT PRODUCT AGAIN !!!!!
This is my 3rd purchase of my "FAVORITE" weed eater over the years. The newest one I only had to adjust it just right as it was a little different from the first 2. EXCELLANT PRODUCTS, Thanks, Bev.

The weeds are quack!
This weed trimmer is a huge upgrade to my previous Worx model. I love the adjustments, weight and balance of this model. Dual strings is a bonus too! I gave it four stars due to consuming battery power quickly. What used to take 2 batteries, now takes 4~5 batteries. Overall, a great product and fast shipping.

Battery use
Not used yet; Do I need another charger and battery?; The batterys I have are from the old GT151.5 Trimmer and WA3839 battery charger. Can any of those be used for my new trimmer, WG173, 20 v String Trimmer, would like a reply, thank you.

Hello Sonny! Thank you for sharing your experience and review! The batteries from the WG151 will not be compatible with the WG173. The WG151 batteries will be 18V rather than 20V, they will not carry a high enough voltage to power on the tool. Thank you for choosing Worx!

Great Father's Day gift
I bought this for my dad and he LOVES it. I think he would use it daily if the weeds or gass would grow fast enough.

Keeping the Ranch House grass and weeds trimmed ea
Outstanding product. Dependable and long lasting. Light weight enough for a grandmother to use. Batteries last for a reasonable time and easy to install and remove.

Light weight and easy to handle
I was very pleased with the nitro 20V brushless string trimmer because it has the double string and it was lighter and easy to handle. I have several worx tools and yard equipment and I love all of them.
