like the improvements on this model. especially the telescoping main shaft. also easier to rotate than the original. guess they gave up on the idea of the removal wheel to make useable as a mini mower.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have a WG170.2 and love it. Do they still make this model?
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are and have always been pleased with all of our worx products. We are retired and the lightness of the trimmer makes it very easy to use. However, we were disappointed to find out you no longer have a place to store an extra spool of string. I would highly recommend the use of worx tools to any homeowner. Light weight and easy to use.
I've used the Worx trimmer for years, wearing them out. Each one comes out a little better made. The newer model is stronger, better made. Ready to take on the trimming, edging and even just mowing across the lawn. Easy to use on the smaller, tighter areas of the lawn. The battery time or usage seems to be lasting longer also.
bought in 2017 and batterie's just died last year so bought new trimmer and batteries this year just for batteries as original trimmer and blower still work.
I'm sure it'll work great, but instructions are horrible! I'm having someone else look at it with the horrible instructions to see if they can figure it out.
