WORX GT WG151.5 18-Volt Cordless Electric String Trimmer/Edger Review
Trimmer was bought on May 3rd and arrived promptly. The unit is well built; better than many of the others I looked at in stores and I like the head & support handle angle adjustability. The head does not adjust on most units. Even though assembly instructions were not great; the assembly was pretty straight forward. I charged the battery about 3-4 hours, but did not use the trimmer for a few days. I have now used it once and the trimmer worked well. It does not have the power of a gas or plug in trimmer, but I found it to be more than adequate for my yard here in central Indiana. The trimmer is fairly light weight and easy to handle. I have about 250 feet of dog ear fence, planting area, light posts and trees to go around and it did the job easily. All of it being normal grass with only a few big weeds. The battery did not run down, however I did not edge my 130 feet of drive way or sidewalks. Doing so may use up the battery; I will try it next time. I would have given this trimmer 5 stars, but I am not sure how well I like it feeding line each time I turn it off and on. I tend to release the trigger sometimes as I more along and/or walk between items to trim. It may go through more line than necessary. I'll have to wait and see. I'm glad I purchased the trimmer and would do it over again. I really like not smelling like oil when I'm done. I can highly recommend it for anyone having similar type use.

Customer Reviews
So far so good - John G. -
Just got the WORX WG151.5 yesterday and today ran it through it's paces. All works as advertised and I am pleased to see that somebody had their head screwed on correcty during the design phase - there is some though to the operator! Amazing. (String trimmers gas or electric can be a real pain to use.) I was impressed with the power (I have an gas monster of mass destruction for the ugly stuff) and more importantly the finess capability. It works!
No, I don't have much time in so I can't speak to it's longivity but "so far so good."
Read your manual - Richard D. Miller -
Here's the way it is. If you take care of your battery the way the manual says, you will probably avoid the headaches some of the reviews describe.
1. Before you charge your battery, run it all the way out of power.
2. When you are finished trimming, don't put the battery on the charger immediately. The battery will be warm. Let sit on the shelf and cool. This will help it to charge to greater capacity.
3. The battery will build up capacity the first 5 or 6 times you charge it.
4. Don't leave a fully charged battery on the charger.
5. Off-season, store the battery somewhere not too hot or cold and charge the battery about once a month.

Enjoy the cordless option. Battery lasts plenty long and charges up within 1/2 hour as stated. Takes a little getting used to as far as what angle to hold the trimmer, but trims well. Very lightweight and comfortable to hold. Like the different height adjustments for my husband and myself.
Horrible & Rude Customer Service - foreveruntilsunday - Los Angeles, CA
After requesting replacement of 1 lithium battery(and waited 3 weeks because someone there 'forgot' to authorize my shipment), my 2nd battery only lasted for 1/2 hour. Today I phoned Customer Service and offered to return both batteries as well as the charging unit. Technical Support would not send me items, but rather told to go to an authorized service center which is 45 minutes away!
The total time I spent on hold and talking to these people was over 1 hour.
Wendy at Tech Support told me she 'had no control over where I lived". How rude!
Do not buy this product and if you do, make sure you follow up with Customer Service because they are grossly incompetent and uncaring of backing up this product.
