– WORX WG927E 40V PowerShare Lawnmower & Trimmer Twin Pack (2x20V)

Excellent, both items meet with expectations, easy and light to use, both do a good job of keeping the lawn down, elderly lady using them is delighted.

Came quickly and easy to assemble, only 1 screwdriver needed and after a quick charge, was ready to go. Nice and light, plus coming from a corded-mower, it makes such a difference being free of cables. Been used a few times now and manages to hold its charge long enough to complete both front and back gardens (approx. under 200 sqr.m). Helped by the variable power used to help manage battery. It did struggle on long grass if you leave it too long, but cut every 2-3 weeks it should manage. Roller makes a nice stripe, but not essential for me. The included grass trimmer is a useful and welcome addition. Although not as powerful as I hoped, but good for cleaning around the edges and there was just enough charge in both batteries to complete without needing a recharge. Managed to get the product on offer, so made it even more appealing.

WORX WG927E Dual 20V Battery 34cm Cordless Lawn Mower & 18V (20V MAX) Cordless Grass Trimmer Overall I have positive impressions of this lawnmower / trimmer despite a few issues which I'll detail below. Both the strimmer and mower were easy to assemble and I had them up and running in maybe 15 to 20 minutes so that was all good. The mower itself feels very robust but the handle unit a little more lightweight - shouldn't be a problem but was noticeable. Once both fully charged batteries were plugged into the unit I was away. All very easy. The mower starts up more gradually that a corded mower and takes maybe 5 seconds to truly be up to speed - it doesn't have that raw power but once it's running it's fine and made short work of the longer grass when allowed to work. Once I was mowing I immediately noticed the quality of the cut which I was very pleased with. I'm used to some old flymo thing which really just used to smash the grass into a green pulp so after a seeing a neat and rollered line of grass after one pass was impressive. As the machine has a reasonably large footprint compared to a flymo for example it's not possible to get right up to the edge of the lawn on the front to back passes, you'll need to run side on to get closer in. Doing so left the trickiest bits for the strimmer at then end. Turning the mower around at the end of the garden for the next pass will require a bit of space, I found myself going forward and back 3 or 4 time to complete the turn. There's a fair bit of weight in this machine which reduces its manoeuvrability. That being said my back garden was trimmed in no time at all really. This left the machine indicating that not much charge was left in the batteries. My grass in the back garden is slightly over 60m2. I still had the front to do which is probably 1/4 of that. The batteries gave out towards the end of the front garden, maybe 3/4 of the way through. Overall I reckon I got 70m2 of grass cutting out of one charge - slightly disapointing as now I know I'll always need to change batteries when doing both lawns. Luckily I had some batteries from a Worx drill I could used to finish the last bit but they were less powerful that the ones supplied so the machine died when it hit the thicker grass. I managed to finish by taking it slower. I should add that I was trimming at the lowest height so a 20mm grass height and in turbo mode for the most power. The lawn was only dense and tall in patches so it's not like the machine was really labouring the whole way through. And that was with doing one pass down each strip of lawn (the machine impressively only needed one pass, the cut was excellent) and a bit of tidying in awkward areas but without going over areas multiple times as it didn't need it. I used a depleted battery for the strimmer and that did all the edging I needed with no issues at all. The grass collection box is big and basically when it's full the machine leaves piles of grass on the lawn so that was my prompt for emptying it. The mower is really excellent at hoovering up the cut grass, aside from the grass left when the clippings box is full, the lawn was left pristine. I'll just empty the box before it gets full next time to avoid that. The mower is noticeably more quiet than a corded mower too and is really smooth to push up and down the lawn. No vibrations from the handles either. So it's more pleasant to use in that regard. A lot of the issues I've mentioned so far though, for me, can really be offset by this machine not being corded. It's so much easier to do a lawn without constantly worrying about where the cord is. The more I've thought about it, the more pleased overall I've been with the end result - my lawn has stripes!! Additional high power batteries are available and I may have to invest in some. The machine comes with 2 x 2.0 ah batteries. The ones I used from my drill that kept letting the machine die were 1.3 ah so clearly they simply don't have the juice. There are 4.0 ah batteries available but they are expensive. I may just opt for 2 more 2.0 ah batteries as then I know I'll always be able to do the lawns with one quick battery change. If your lawn is in the 50 to 60m2 range or smaller, I don't think you'll have issues getting the lawn cut on one charge unless it was totally overgrown. To sum up, when I've looked out over the lawn today after cutting I've been genuinely pleased at its appearance. The only lingering concerns I had are about battery life which I can solve (buy more) or manage (top up charge before attempting the front garden). So to be left with an overall positive feeling tells me all I really need to know.

Best Lawnmower I’ve ever owned.Could pick up the moist mowings a bit better,but easy to use and clean. The mower,strummer,battery packs and charger were really good value for money. Mowing the lawn and strumming is no longer a chore for me at 85.

Great kit, the batteries don't last super long but I have an adapter to use bigger batteries anyway, light weight and easy to store. Would recommend for any first time home buyer. The batteries that come with, even though not got big capacity do charger really quick.

Lovely mower. Easy to use and so light and versatile. Great range of cutting heights. The bad news: the 2 x 2.0Ah batteries that come with the product are really designed for cordless drills, not mowers. Cutting some overgrown parts of my lawn, the mower lasted about 10 minutes then sucked all the juice out. Upgrade to 2 x 8.0Ah batteries and I think performance will scale, but I haven't invested yet. Disappointed that Worx throw these into the package to snare people - they are gimmick batteries and won't suit most people's needs.

Later update; back to my original view of this machine. I was too quick to assume that everything was fine because now the machine has almost died. It will run for a few seconds and then stops. The battery indicator on the body show full batteries but after those few seconds it shows dead batteries. However, the indicators on the batteries show full charge and if I put them on the charger it shows them full. Sadly, I am giving up on this and it has dented my faith in Worx. Update: I wasn’t happy about the mower packing up so continued to see if I could repair it. Rereading the manual it says to remove the security key when storing the mower. I removed the key, reinserted it and bingo, the mower is working fine. Nowhere in any information does it suggest this if the mower actually stops working. I assume it resets a switch. I suggest you ignore my previous rant as it was written in frustration. “”i bought this mower having a whole range of other Worx devices and found them excellent. Here we are two years and six months of minimal use and it refuses to run. It has been excellent for my postage stamp grass patch. Light and easy to manoeuvre. But my original devices, a drill, angle grinder and sander are still going strong after many years with other devices added over the years. The problem is not the batteries as it refuses to work with all five batteries two are less that 18 months old.””

We were very pleased with the battery mower and strimmer . Great price , very light weight and easy to use. Would definitely recommend.
