I have the WG169E which got wet and was not working. I ordered this WG163E as it has the very handy edging function. It came with 2x 2AH batteries which cost £30 each to buy separately at the moment. Thus the strimmer cost just £10 effectively !. I needed more batteries as I have many worx tools and after a year of heavy use many batteries have less life from the memory fade usual on repeated charges. I am please to say my WG 169E dried out and now works well again. I do prefer the 169 because: changing the cutting angle involve rotating a simple switch and adjusting by hand whereas the 163 need to be clamped with your foot on the blade cover and pulled with considerable force,

Great looking product, good construction and the moveable parts click solidly into place.The adjustable length and variable angle of the shaft handle mean that the carrying and usage angle should be customisable for most people.Impressed with the battery life - I’d recommend getting the box with 2 batteries included; no brainer when it’s almost the same price.I have an irregular 1/3 of an acre, mostly lad to lawn with lots of edges.When I first received the package, I plugged one of the batteries into charge. 4 hours later still showed charging but was really keen to have a go, and that battery lasted half hr- approx half of the garden.Charged both batteries overnight and managed to do the

I used the battery from the Worx Landroid (S300) to power the strimmer. The strimmer remained light enough to handle with the tiny battery in. The grass boarder had not been trimmed for a few weeks, so it was long. The strimmer took care of the 130sqm lawn edge, a large island and two other poles. There was enough battery to tart up the side lawn, but not to do all of it.The battery was put back into the Landroid for charging and a full charge was done in around 1 hour 30 mins. Marvin the Paranoid Landroid was ready to go shortly after reaching full charge, but he wasn't happy. He reported E1, boundary wire missing. We though we may have snagged his wire. However, after pulling him out of his home,

We have a very large garden with several borders and lawns. Prior to buying this product, cutting the edges was my most hated job. Not only did it take the best part of a day, by the time I had finished, my back and neck would be aching and I’d be very grumpy! This is the second year of use and I can honestly say it is the best garden gadget since the once-hated edge cutting now only takes an hour - it’s unbelievable really. It does take a little practice to get the knack of using it, and I would definitely recommend wearing safety specs/goggles as it can throw up small stones/pieces of bark etc. We bought an additional battery (one hour charge) and bigger charger.

Yup spot on, this is now my 3rd workTool my 4th is on its way. They’re a great home DIY tool.This strimmer is very easy to assemble (just the strimmer guard and a screw) 2 mins jobAs for it’s function I used my own 20v battery.Extended and got to work. I’ve not a huge lawn but 3 smaller grass sections.Worked great for strumming and perfect for edging the line seems far stronger than my other strimmer, did the entire area without the need to use the command feed line.But I pressed the command line to see what it did. It worked noneOf that silly banging on the ground for line.1 press the motor temporarily stops, line fed out and motor continues so simple.My battery did all my garden 30mins cutting high grass and very grasses edges.

My garden is small but challenging with assorted tough woodland weeds invading all year round. My previous strimmers - all well respected makes - have been frustrating to use - broken lines, lines not feeding, etc., and have ultimately died in service. I already have a Worx drill, which I love, so only had to buy the machine. It took a little over 5 minutes to clear the patch which blew the motor on the last strimmer, and the line remained at working length all the way through. The battery was fully charged again within 10 minutes after use.A major plus with the cordless is that I can grab it and go. Not having to get the extension lead out of the garage and fiddle about with the lead is a big motivator and time saver.The instruction booklet leaves much to be desired,

Easy to set-up & use, light weight, batteries each last around 20 minutes. Works well for simple lawn edging, both horizontally & vertically. But surprisingly good at tougher requirements - we have a public footpath at the side of our estate, which was very overgrown & difficult for me & particularly our dog to negotiate for our walks. Using the WORX WG 163E I cut down around 100 metres of overgrown grasses, fern, even brambles to clear a path for easier access, exhausting both batteries, photo attached - the WORX did well for this task, of course taking more effort & longer than a petrol strimmer, but for a light weight cordless I was pleasantly surprised at how well it did.

This makes edging the lawn a breeze. So much quicker and easier than using back-breaking edging shears. I would buy this again and I would recommend it to friends and familyThree improvements I'd make are 1] change the wheel design to enable their use when strimming flat. It's too easy to scalp the lawn without a height gauge. 2] An arrow in white on the guard so that you can see where the cutting line is in edging mode. Otherwise it's easy to get off line and cut deep gouges into your lawn. 3] Battery life could do with being longer.I have no problem with rotating the head from edging to flat, so other reviewers may have tighter versions than mine.

I have quite a large garden which I cut mainly with a sit on, except for the twiddly bits. The twiddly bits have got larger over the years and although I have a petrol driven strimmer, for a 5ft 2 in woman it has always been quite heavy to use. This Worx Strimmer does the job beautifully. I was concerned that it would not be strong enough to cope, but it more than copes. It sailed through overgrown nettles, trimmed flower bed edges and cut bits I'd have normally had to use my electric mower to tackle. It's light, having two batteries, one in and one charging makes a lot of difference as well. So light, easy to assemble, easy to use, very happy.

Had an old battery strimmer of another make years ago, it was OK but the battery was heavy and limited and you were always waiting for it to run out. This is fabulous. Went together easily - the range of adjustments for height and angle mean that it is easy to make it comfortable to use. We got it to keep our front and back grass in check - planning to get rid of it so don't want to buy a mower. Had to recharge it after doing the front the first time - it was really long and damp. Since then it has done both bits, around 40 square metres, on one charge without any problem at all. I will almost be sad when we don't need it any more.

looking at video before buying,it looks like the tilt and adjust of the handle is easy peasy,believe me it is far from it.I could not budge it,i thought being a 67 year old pensioner with arthritis it was me,so asked my son who is a strapping 46 year old,with some effort he finally got it to move but still was not easy.I finally had to loosen the screw to make it easily adjust,and with more use i may be able to tighten screw back up.The plus points are can move around garden no cables,not to heavy,wheels a useful addition and command feed is great addition with a press of button and hopefully will carry on working.

Only used my new strimmer once so far but already impressed. Easy for my non practical husband to assemble and adjustable handle half way down makes it so much easier for me to hold it and use. I'm a 5ft 2 female. The wire in it has been hardy so far. I'm not gentle with tools and have been blasting it over my rockery obliterating weeds and in between my garden plants strimming after this weed sprouting weather. It's been cutting everything and the place looks much tidier. Was at it for a while and the initial battery was still going strong. Hopefully it holds up to more. Seems sturdy and of good quality.

Great machine, I have a large garden and always used a petrol strimmer. This does the same work, is lighter, easier to use and does not have the starting problems petrol has. The battery lasts a good while, however as two batteries and a charger are supplied you can be using one while charging the other.One downside. I have tried to buy the strimmer cartridges. They are difficult to find. On Ebay they seem to come mainly from the USA. I have managed to purchase strimmer chord the correct thickness and will try to restring the cartridge myself.It would be good if Argos could stock these cartridges.

This was my first try at a cordless trimmer/strimmer - and I am wondering why it took me so long to make the jump. Very pleased indeed with this piece of kit. Good quality throughout - sturdy but lightweight. Easy to manipulate in various positions and so far has proved really effective in dealing with both "easy" trimming round lawn edges, and also in clearing more uneven, wild areas of the garden. Having two batteries is great, recharge times are short, and I haven't yet experienced a battery running out, even when dealing with fairly large lawns with some difficult to reach areas. Just great.

I have gone through So Many strimmers , think I get a bit over zealous with them and expect them to do a bit more than they can. This strimmer is the best one I have ever brought. I have a very big garden and it virtually gets it all done before battery runs out. So much better than dragging a lead behind. So far it has tackled pretty tough weeds , I have used it several times and the line has not yet broken once. Not had to changed a spall yet so can not comment on that. If new line is put on and it shows No problems , I would then say "it's the best strimmer I have ever had !"
