Decent cost (in comparison-17" model far less expensive). Self propulsion - until terrain is completely flat, it is a bit "clunky" or "bucks" on occasion. Battery life - "1/2 acre on one charge-I didn't experience as such. Need two (2) pair(s) of batteries. Owners manual - room for improvement. Registration site/page - separate site, extremely confusing, i.e. doesn't state upfront you need a separate account other than the www.worx.com login and password; the required "SKU" number is actually (but page-field not labeled as such) the model number (which you cannot type-in but rather scrolling thru a random-order listing of model numbers), etc. Otherwise, wonderful features: installation, weight, clean-cuts, finer mulching, two bushel clippings-discharge bag, wheel-height adjustment, handle-four setting adjustment with fold-down for easy storage, i.e. set up against a wall.
I used my neighbors EGO before this mower arrived. I have to say the controls for the start and the self propelling are much more intuitive and the self-propelling is much smoother. Very happy I made this choice. After unpacking, charging the batteries, I was ready to go right out of the box and it was so intuitive that I didn't even open the manual!
I have only used the new mower two times. But so far it is very effective and easy to use. The height adjustment for the deck is 10 times easier than any other mower I have had. The bag does not clog up when the grass is heavy and full of moisture. Given the size of our yard, one set of batteries will not mow it. But since I have multiple WORX tools, I have extra batteries to change to and get the yard done in one session.
I will be 82 shortly and my kids got me this for my birthday present..swapped out for my heavy gas powered Toro. Plowed right through high grass. Definitely a keeper
The self propelled version will cut 800 sf is about it. Batteries take about 2 hr and 55 minutes to fully recharge. The Push mower will last much much longer and the unit is very light to push. The features are good as is the design. The instruction book is far from good. Still trying to find what turns on the LED light so as to keep it off. But mow she does. Tried on light grass. Will see on full grown. You should have 2 sets of batteries. And the smaller ones sadly don't work.
I bought this because I thought it would be easier to use. I’m 76 female. I have several other Worx tools that I love. This is no exception. I’m surprised that it pulled itself up our steep hill so easily and it cuts really good. Very happy with mower. The instructions are another matter. They could use some work.
I’ve had the chance to use this mower twice so far this fall, and it has honestly exceeded my expectations. The battery life is impressive—I have a medium-sized yard (not small, not huge), and by the time I finished mowing, the battery still had more than half of its charge left.
The mower itself is very lightweight and easy to maneuver. I purchased the self-propelled version, but I only needed to use that feature in a few hilly areas. For most of the yard, pushing it manually was effortless, which will help conserve battery life in the long run.
Overall, I’m very happy with this mower. It performs well, is easy to handle, and has excellent battery efficiency. Thanks!
