I bought this a couple months ago and the batteries last maybe 15 minutes before they need a 4 hour charge. Not sure if I just got bad batteries but this has been a disappointment.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We appreciate you choosing WORX and sharing your feedback and review. Please ensure the batteries have been fully charged before use. This trimmer provides up to 45 minutes of run time. Run time will vary from user to user as everyone works differently. This trimmer also comes with the WA3770 dual charger. It takes each supplied battery (WA3525 2.0Ah 20 Volt battery) 1 hour to charge. You have the option to charge one battery at a time, or both batteries can be charged at the same time. When charging two batteries at the same time, it will take 130 minutes, just a little over 2 hours. Please be sure that the batteries are being fully charged for maximum run time. If you have more questions, please contact our Solution Center Team at 866-354-9679 Monday through Friday from 9 am until 6 pm EST. We'd be more than happy to assist you!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this product to replace my gas powered trimmer. It was a hassle mixing the gas each time. This product works great even on tall grass and the batteries lasted a lot longer than I had planned. I wish that I would have bought it sooner!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is awesome. It’s very powerful with the 2 battery’s. Same as my 20V. Also came with a new charger. Love this! Buy it!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have 2 acres of lawn and garden on the inside and outside of the property. I can trim all needed areas with one charge. There power level of this trimmer impressive to the completion of the job.
We bought this a month ago and have pleased with the power. We have had gas powered trimmer in the past, but they are a pain to keep tuned and running. So we tried battery powered trimmers and they haven't had enough power to trim our tough grass and weeds. Our new 40V trimmer has the power we need and has no tuning or running problems, very pleased.
This trimmer is a beast at cutting anything in it's way. Easy to operate, not too heavy and comfortable to use with either left or right hand. I also own the 20V POWER SHARE GT REVOLUTION 12" STRING TRIMMER Item WG170.2 and it's fantastic, I use it for smaller jobs, but it can stand toe to toe with the bigger trimmers no problems. I just wanted something a bit bigger for the water weeds that grow around the house. It cuts better than my gas trimmer and definitely a ton lighter. It doesn't make your arms tired or fatigued. I'm 5'4 and 115lbs. It's easy for me to use as well as my 6'2 husband. It has tons of power. I use my batteries from my other Worx trimmer so I have more cutting time since I have a bigger area to cut. We have about 1/2 acre or a little more and it lasts on the 2 sets (4 total batteries) of batteries to do almost all of it before I have to recharge. I hope it lasts like the other Worx trimmer I have (3 years next month). Shipping was quick and easy. It comes with everything you need to get started. I only wish it had the line feed button like the revolution trimmer does and the spool holder on the trimmer as well.
