Worx (19") 13-Amp Electric Lawn Mower

I was pleasantly surprised by this mower's ability to cope with my overgrown/tall lawn (last gas mower quit and yard was overgrown by the time I received the Worx mower). It is lightweight enough for me to handle well even on the slope in my yard (active/strong 50 plus y/o female).

Cord is of course an issue but less so than having to buy/haul gas and store in the garage. My only complaint is that the "cord manager" in place on the handle bars is too tight to fit my heavy duty extension cord (which I consider a must for running this motor).

I also would have liked written instructions for getting the mower set up out of the box as the illustrations were small and not that helpful for someone who isn't mechanically inclined.

I have only had a single shot at using my new mower but it doesn't bode well for the future. As has become common with my appliance experiences, a 25-cent part can cause really major problems. Let me explain. I got the thing put together pretty easily and started it up. It ran well and cut the grass apparently efficiently. However, about 1/3 of the way through (perhaps 45 minutes into the experience, one of the wheels fell off.

I spent another 15 minutes looking for the cap that holds the wheel on, found it, looked at what might be the problem, attempted to fix it, then reattached the hub and the wheel. About 1/2 hour later it fell off and the again wheel followed. This time, after about 20 minutes of looking I gave up and tried to use the mower as a 3-wheeler, which is not the most efficient way to do things (but good for upper body strengthening, I suppose).

After 3 hours of struggle with the lame mower I finished the job (I have a large lawn) and then, as I cleaned up, I ran across the hub. I bent the flanges even further to make it grab the axle tighter but I haven't mowed since so I don't know if it is fixed. The inanity of having such a pathetic means of attaching the wheels is outrageous.

This is a $200 machine and this cheap-ass approach to keeping the support structure together is unacceptable. I suspect that eventually, perhaps this weekend, I'll lose one or more of these hubs for good and I will have to drill through the axle and use a cotter pin as the designers of the machine should have done in the first place. If a student of mine designed things this poorly I'd flunk the person's sorry butt.

Bought this as a fill-in while my self propelled mower was in the shop...it's an excellent little mower for an electric mower....my yard is a little too big for it but it surprisingly did not lack for power. Little bit of a pain to drag a cord around. Didn't bag really well but think that is because it has a mulching blade on it.

I know some people are really down on what they perceive to be the cumbersome handling qualities of a corded, electric mower. But, in my opinion, working with an electric mower is like anything else - do it for a while and it becomes the norm. Putting that aside, though, in this day and age, the quiet, non-polluting qualities of an electric mower should be enough to silence its harshest critics.

To be sure, there remains a solid place for gas driven mowers, but for the vast majority of us, neither our lawns nor our egos require the smokey roar of an internal combustion engine. Which brings me to the Worx mower. It is simply the most nicely designed easiest to use, and ruggedly constructed electric mower I've had the pleasure to use.

It's powerful enough to chew through pretty much anything one might encounter when seeking to tame a lawn. In my case, I even used it to open up a blueberry patch that had overgrown. Foot high bunch grass is tenacious enough to pop the circuit breaker or stall any other mower, but the Worx was able, with some care and coaxing to be sure, to take it down and mulch it up. I couldn't be more pleased with this mower.

Cuts right out of box, ove the fact that it will fold down. Omg, small space for storage it fits like a glove and becomes small table.

Got this because I had trouble starting my gas powered mower this Spring. Works as advertised with no problems, so far.

Storage requires little space as it will store upright on rear wheels. Takes up much less space than our old one, and don't have to worry about gasoline leaking out.

We needed a mower for our small front lawn area, that would mulch leaves and clippings from the lawn. The mower is very simple, which makes it easy to clean and maintain. We use it in tight spots and on leaves left on the ground from last season. It does just exactly what we need an electric mower to do.

This mower goes beyond my expectations. Lighter, quieter, maneuverable, quick bag unloading, cleaning is quick, and it's easily stored.

I have a yard that slopes about 7 feet, and mowing across or at an angle is rapidly done. The handle is quite comfortable, and it doesn't tire my hands. I've not bogged it down with 8 inch tall grass or going up my hill.

Now if it was remote controlled I'd have it made.

So far a great tool. Mows the lawn.

I really gambled buying this mower online but it paid off. I was able to use the mower without having to assemble the mower. I just had to pull up the handle, tighten it and off I go. The second time I used the mower I figured out that I could unlock the front wheels, this made it so much easier cutting my lawn.

No one likes to admit he was wrong but in this case I was glad to. See I wrote a mixed review and in it I said I thought the mower was under-powered and I had to go over the lawn more than once. Well I just used it again and because the lawn must have been extra high the first it didn't cut well. This time lawn was shorter and I had no difficulty mowing. So for that I have to change my rating.
