WORX GT WG150.1 10-Inch 18-Volt 2-In-1 Cordless Electric Grass Trimmer/Edger Specifications

The WORX GT is the perfect tool to neatly manicure your yard after you mow. It even won the prestigious Editor’s Choice award from Popular Mechanics Magazine at the 2006 Lawn and Garden Show.

The lightweight WORX 18-volt battery-powered string trimmer weighs less than a gallon of milk and is the only trimmer on the market which converts from a standard grass trimmer to a true walk-behind edger – 2 tools in 1. The integrated Edger wheel allows you to quickly and easily roll the trimmer along your patio or driveway for adding that perfectly edged look to your yard or garden.

And forget the hassle of pull starters - the WORX GT starts with the single push of a button. Forget the aggravation of untangling extension cords – the 18-volt battery-powered WORX GT can trim up to a 1/2 acre yard on a single charge. It goes anywhere you need to. And unlike some competitive cordless models, the WORX GT comes with a 1-hour quick charger so you don’t have to wait for hours for the battery to re-charge…you’re back to work in minutes not hours.

The unique trimming head of WORX GT pivots up to 90-degrees to reach under decks, under play equipment, under trees and bushes or on slopes and hills.

No more bumping to feed line. The auto-feed line system of the WORX GT feeds out line with a simple squeeze and release of the trigger. The fold-away spacer guard also helps to protect flowers, tree trunks, outdoor lighting and other delicate objects from damage by the trimmer line.

The WORX GT adjusts in length and handle positions to ensure a more comfortable ergonomic fit and less strain on backs and arms. And unlike long, bulky trimmers, the WORX GT collapses for easy storage in a closet or garage.

What's in the Box
WORX GT 18-volt cordless string trimmer, 18-volt battery pack and 1-hour fast charger, pre-loaded spool with 16-feet of trimmer line, complete tri-lingual operator’s manual and product demo DVD for quick assembly and clear operation

Customer Reviews

it is ok, that it!! - vijay - michigan
The product is too weak to do more than maintain the landscape. If you are using it to clear the growth after the winter, you will find it is too soft.
I had to revert back to my gas trimmer to clear the winter growth and I suppose will use this to maintain the edge.
Not what was promised on TV ads.






I really had high hopes for this... - C. Ward -
This was the first time I actually purchased an item off of an infomercial. I came to amazon, read some reviews, did my homework like I always do. There were mixed reviews as with any product, but I decided to test it out.

I decided to order from the 800 # as I've never done that before, and figured I would see what all they say/offer. From the start to the end it was about a 20-25 minute call. Out of those 20/25 minutes only 5 were taking my information, cc, etc. The rest was nothing but trying to upsell me. They tried to upsell the rapid charger (80.00 iirc), a "trimmings and grass blower", magazine subscriptions, etc. When I would say no, they would drop the price, and go again. I was nice about it, because I know the person on the end is only doing their job, and if they don't they will get fired. So anyway I just kept saying no thanks. They said if I paid the amount in full they would process my order faster, and I would receive expedited shipping, which meant I would receive the product in 7-10 days. The shipping was pretty fast, I received it in about 8 days.

When I opened the box, assembling what little needed to be done, was very easy. I plugged in the charger and put the battery on there. After 6 hours of charging it was ready. I went outside, did a little trimming and edging. After 15 minutes the battery was dead. I thought it must be a fluke since they said you can "trim an entire football field three times" on the infomercial. I charged the battery over night, and started again. Wow it lasted 20 minutes this time. I now see why they want to sell you extra batteries, and the rapid charger.

Other than the fact that this will only run for about 20 minutes, it seems a bit under-powered. What would take a corded/gas trimmer a swipe to cut, this took maybe 5-10 swipes. It's a good concept, and if the battery had lasted longer it would have received 3 or 4 stars, but that just isn't the case.

Overall I suggest buying another trimmer that won't force you to buy 4 batteries, or an 80.00 charger just to trim your grass.



Terrible power! Does NOT self feed line - David M. Blankenship - Alabama
I ordered this product and was very excited due to all the commericials that are ALL OVER the t.v. now. With a fully charged battery, I tried to trim my drive way and it was SO WEAK that I had to go very slow and try to trim a small portion of grass at a time. Also, every 2 minutes I had to stop and pull out the cord of the so called "self feeding line" that supposedly automatically adjusts to the proper length without manual adjustment...WRONG! It was such a dissappointment! Great idea but they didn't have the product to back up what they were advertising. I lost to ship it back, so bascially I paid dollars for a piece of crap and wasted time. DON'T BUY WORX GT!!!!!!!!

WORX GT WG151.5 18-Volt Cordless Electric String Trimmer/Edger

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.




yard worker - B. J. Dwyer - Palatine
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.
