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.

I've always had good luck with WORX string trimmers. I had my last one for many, many year; but I finally decided it was time to purcahse a new one. So far so good.
Easier to use than my older Worx trimmer and more powerful. Perhaps my original battery has lost some power over the last 10 years. The handle is longer so I can operate it without bending so much. The power feed of the line is a vast improvement.
Nice machine, however, the wheels only work when edging. Should have included a way to use the wheels for mowing too. Great that it comes with 2 batteries and a charger.

I bought the work weed eater / edger about 5 yrs ago if not more, as a woman I like mowing the lawn & edging also like my yard to look nice so people can see it? Love that you can get it under the stuff you ! BBQ pit, lawn chairs ETC. I recommend the WORx product 100%.
