I replaced my existing trimmer with this wg163 because the head won't rotate anymore. This one you need to force very hard to rotate. it doesn't have a button to let it rotate you have to stand on head and pull/push handle. This will definitely not last very long at all because it's all plastic and will definitely break at one point. It was very inexpensive and I now understand why. Live n learn..... cheaper isn't better
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you're looking for a lightweight, versatile, and user-friendly string trimmer, the Worx 20V 12'' model is a standout performer. I’ve had the pleasure of using this tool, and it’s clear why it’s earned such high praise from homeowners and reviewers alike.
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.
