WORX WG743.9 40V PowerShare 4.0Ah 17" Lawn Mower w/Mulching & Intellicut, Bare Tool Only,Black and Orange

If you're looking for a really quiet and super easy to use mower at a decent price, this will do the trick on a typical sized lawn (0.2-0.4 acre). If you have a bigger lawn, get more batteries or cut less grass at one time. If you're looking to go green, look around. This probably isn't the best performing environment-friendly mower out there.After the first use on 5-7" grass, this thing performed as well as expected. It's not quite as powerful as a dinosaur guzzling mower, but keep in mind, it's also not a Tesla. However, it sure is quiet and easy to use. My wife called it my secret lawn mower because she could not hear it from inside the house. I could also hear my son and his friends talking as they played basketball in the driveway. This thing is extremely easy to handle. Without the batteries in, it honestly feels like my kids' old toy lawn mower. No joke. With the batteries in, it's not much heavier and I could easily push it with one hand, which means ANYONE in my family can now cut the grass. We'll see if that actually happens.Unboxing was easy and it came in two boxes, so it was in perfect condition. Assembly was a cinch and only took about 5 minutes, basically just attaching the handle bar. I wrapped the power cord around the bar a few times so it wasn't loose even though they provide clips for the cord. To start it, you must hold in the control handle (throttle), then slide over the start switch. It will not start in the opposite order. If you even slightly let go of the handle throttle, the mower turns off so just keep a firm grip and you're good. I'm just used to my gas mower that almost turns off when I let go but reengages after pulling it back in right away. No biggie.It can handle one entire suburbia lawn (0.25ish acre) on a full charge, though I would suggest cutting immediately after charging.It bogged down a little in the areas with taller grass, but pretty similarly to my gas mower (YTD 17"). I walk pretty fast when mowing, so I had to slow down to normal walking speed so the mower could keep up on most of the lawn. Perhaps the turbo mode would be good for the taller grass areas (or my speed walking mode), but probably not worth switching over from eco for the occasional taller grass.The height settings are good, but it seems to go too short on the lowest setting (1) unless you're maintaining a golf course or going on a month long vacation. I was at 5 (out of 7) and that seemed to be perfect (about 3").Disclaimer 1: I owned a Worx trimmer/edger (same batteries) before getting this mower.Disclaimer 2: We do not own any electric vehicles or Tesla stock. While I know fossil fuels are bad for the environment, I don't think this mower is saving the world or anything.Disclaimer 3: I got this mower after doing enough reviews before donating my old mower to my brother.

UPDATE: 29March2023Well I’ve had two cuts so far this spring & I’m even more impressed. Lawn was dry both times; I cut about an inch off for the first cut of the year; raised the mower up to 4” for the second cut. Cut the entire lawn (mulched) both times with a runtime of about 40 minutes on each cut & still had some juice left in the batteries (one light was on when pressing battery power meter buttons). Impressed me!!After each cut, I recharged the batteries to a full charge in about 2hrs. Pretty darn good.I was so pleased, I just ordered a worx weed wacker on the same 40V battery shared platform!! No need for more batteries or chargers.Original review:Very lightweight. Surprised it worked so well! Nice build by Worx!! Of course, very quiet & EZ to push even on my inclines & sloped yard.I have about 6,000 sq ft yard. (Total lot - sq ft of house, driveway, sidewalks).Charged batteries full, gave it a go. Had 4” of grass, wet from prior day’s rain. Even in mulch mode, it chomped thru the cut effortlessly. But… due to mulching 2” of wet grass, batteries fizzled after 20min. I didn’t have to use turbo mode. Regular eco mode worked fine.I charged batteties again & finished the job the next day. I bought the WG743 17” cut model. Anything with a smaller cut is silly.It finished up the job easily (grass was drier) and it did an amazingly even cut. For a small yard, it does the job well. Worked very good on drier grass. I didn’t try the bag; only mulched. Mulching is healthier for lawn.This was the last cut before winter so I cut 2” off to a height of 2” and it did a great job !!!

First of all, when I bought it, I didn’t realize it would be so small, even though it says the size clearly on Amazon. I added a pic of it next to my Toyota minivan to help people see the size. Pros and cons:Con: small size means you have to do a lot more walking to mow the lawn. Another con: because it is small, it looks a bit like a toy. (Not a toy, it has a fast moving metal blade). Pros: small size means it is very light. Easy to carry around. Easy to push. So even though you have to do a lot more walking, you can walk fast. It is so light, even grandma could easily do it. Another pro: easy to start. Because it is electric, you just push a button and a lever. No trying to pull a chain attached to a the engine. So many times with other mowers, I would pull with all my might, and I wasn’t fast enough or tall enough to start it. This one is so easy. So if you need to move something out of the way, just turn it off, move the item, and quickly turn it on again. Another pro: it is quiet. I live in a place that can get 120 degrees in the summer. I want to mow the lawn at 6 am, and it is quiet enough that I can do that without bothering the neighbors. Another pro, very easy to store. Another pro: two big rechargeable batteries. The batteries last long enough for me to mow the back and front without recharging(on eco mode). My yards are small, but not super small. Another pro: smallness means easy to maneuver. I have a swing set in the grass. I just trim a little around each pole quickly, and then mow around each pole. Fast, light and easy. Another pro: no gas required. No going to the gas station, or running out, no dealing with engines, or oil. Another pro: no electric cord. You don’t need to worry about running over a chord when you mow. Another pro, because it has no gas, no chords, and it is light, it is fast. Start to finish I can mow both yards in about 30 minutes. I actually love mowing the lawn now!! Last pro: it does a good job cutting my grass. There is a real metal blade that spins fast. This is a real mower, same safety precautions necessary.If you want a small quiet mower, this is it! I love it. If you are not super strong physically, and/or you have a smallish yard, this is great.If you have a big yard, You might want something else.Some reviews say that the batteries don’t last long enough. If you make sure they are fully charged, inserted correctly in the mower, and the mower is set on eco mode, the batteries last at least 45 minutes. If you put the mower on turbo mode, it doesn’t last long. Eco mode is strong enough for most yards.Also, the mower comes with the mulcher attachment already installed. If you want to use the bag, you must take out the mulcher first. Otherwise it may seem like the mower is not working properly. I did that at first, until I figured it out. Once I took it out, it was fine.

Light and easy to handle. Cuts grass very good and has been very reliable

Cutting grass at the trailer. The battery makes it easy and convenient. No gas or oil or cords to worry about.Does awsome job. I love it. Had major back surgery. Light wt. Looks like I vacuumed the lawn.I would recommend to anyone who needs light wt. Mower. Does awsome job on the lawn too. Looks good. Easy to use and empty grass catcher. Good investment. I was skeptical but like the results.

I have a 20 inch mower which is harder to manoeuvre as my yard has plenty of obstacles like trees, flower beds and rose bushes. I got this 14 inch because it's smaller and in theory more agile.The good:(1) Relatively lightweight. Easy to put in shed and take out.(2) Small enough to manoeuvre really well close to trees, walls, flower beds, etc.No string trimming needed, the mower gets close enough.(3) Seems very well built. Doesn't feel cheap.(4) Cuts very well. I see no stray grass, everything is the same height after mowing.(5) Adjusts the blade speed depending on thicker or thinner grass.(6) Mulches really well. The muclhes grass is shredded very thinly. Does a good job muclhing maple tree leaves as well.The not so good:(1) On a 2000 square foot lawn, not particularly thick, batteries are done right around the time I finish. It's advertised as 5000 square feet... Hard to believe it could do that much.(2) Batteries charge very slowly. Around 3-4 hours using the supplies charger.(3) The handles can be folded for storage, but they're not the quickest. You have to unscrew 4 bolts completely. No tools needed. But it's still more complicated than just having a couple of clamps to release and relock the handles.With that said, most 13-14 inch mowers are similar. It's not like the competition does something much better.Overall, I'm satisfied. It's not perfect, but it works very well.

This tiny monster has done everything I expect out of a lawnmower, ie it cuts the grass. It's super-light (don't waste those extra bucks on a mower with wheel drive), and as long as not using "turbo" setting, I can cut my rather large lawn with almost one battery charge. Here's the real trick. Don't buy a second pair of 20 amp batteries thru Worx. A rip-off. Buy another kind. (you look it up) They will fit your 2x20 amp worx charger just fine at half the price. (I own a 40 amp worx weed wacker so already owned the charger and batteries. Only needed the mower. Everything fit fine.

The first one I ordered arrived with a broken power handle and no batteries. It was clearly not “Like New”, and if you are going to ship someone a customer return, at least make sure all the parts are included.I returned that one and ordered it again. This one is in perfect condition and I’ve been quite happy so far.
