Comment:
wg165 24 volt lithium battery failed in less than a year.<br />Called WORX and found out there was replacement program, for the batt. The power equipment store where purchased did not even know about.<br /><br />Went online 4/20/2012 and ordered the replacement battery. Checked status a couple of times and it said ship in 15 days. Talked to a human 5/02/12 I should receive battery in MID JUNE. But they still are selling the product.

Comment:
Worx 151 trimmer<br /><br />It is so easy to edge my lawn and very precise. It has a wheel that allows you to roll along the walk and cut a nice clean edge.<br /><br />I bought this at a club store as a package with a blower and a hedge trimmer. It came with two lithium batteries. The batteries stopped charging within 3 months and Worx people were non responsive! All I wanted them to do was replace my batteries! They wouldn't even answer the phone or respond to inquiries on their website!<br />About a year ago I noticed that a local supplier carried their products and I ended up buying two new lithium batteries! A year later they are still running great! I think it is because of how I maintain the batteries... After a battery runs low, I place it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before charging it. Then I charge it. Heat is what destroys batteries. With two batteries, I usually have plenty of time to trim the walks on my corner lot. It's so easy to run a straight line and no back strain either.<br /><br />If I was rich, I would buy the company, fix the customer service make a fortune because it is an excellent product!

Weak performer

Pros
Easy to Handle
Lightweight
Cons
Doesn't cut heavy grass
Line feed very poor
Short battery life
Best Uses
Straight Edging
Comment:
Cuts light grass, like bermuda, but doesn't work well with St. Augustine. The line feed is poor and often has to be manually advanced. Plus the spools don't hold very much line at a time. Battery life is short, 20-30 minutes max.
How long have you owned it:
Three-to-six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
