Sir I have a old 2.0 that I've had for 7 years and original batteries too. I am waiting for it to break so I can buy a new one but it just keeps going it's awesome, I will never go back to gas never! I have several Worx's products now. 🤓
That is awesome to hear! Mine runs very well and I really enjoy using it. It has cut my time in the yard by more than half. I also have a hedge trimmer, and a blower/vacuum mulcher. Excellent products all of them! Thanks for the comment Cye!😀
I've had mine for 12. It still works just seems like it's about to fall apart now. Already bought the new combo. Just waiting for the other one to break.
Bought the GT 3.0 trimmer on Prime day for $84.00 and used it today. Did a great job doing the front stone wall and around my garden beds. Used 2 batteries and finally had to stop. It's cut some heavy grass and many weeds. Took about 8' of trimmer line to do this work. Will be winding my own trimmer line to keep costs down. Found an adapter to use Ryobi one+ batteries for under $20.00 on Amazon and have several of those batteries for my other Li-Ion tools, so I'll have plenty of batteries on hand. This trimmer didn't come with the spare spool holder, but Lowes had it with free shipping. Very pleased so far!
You gave the best description I've seen for assembly and use of this tool. Literally, I put it together while watching you and went outside and got everything to work. It's a lightweight edger and trimmer and just what I needed. Normally I would get analysis paralysis when approaching something like this. You helped me to get through it in a reasonable amount of time. Thank you!
Thank you for taking the time to leave this comment. It means a lot to me. It really does. I’m glad this my video helped you. Let me know if you run into anything with it that you need an answer to and I will do my best to help. Take care😊
Like your straight approach to explaining the Worx. Especially the way to convert from trimmer to edger and back. Maybe add a couple demonstrations of going back/forth. Some of us need to see it more than once😀. Thanks, good job!
Appreciate the review. The Amazon ad says it's only 6lbs. I like the fact that it can also be really short when not extended. I'm in a wheelchair and looking for something I could mostly use with one hand and this is looking like it might work given the weight and length when not extended.
You are truly welcome. I have not weighed it but it is very light and definitely manageable with one hand. It’s light, I have not weighed it, but it’s easy to handle. I do like the length even when not extended. Let me know if you wind up getting it. I would love to hear how it worked out for you. 👍🏻
@@ItsCoachMike Hey! so I finally bought one. Sitting down and not having use of my torso does make it interesting but usable. It easier overall than my little hand trimmer I was using. Just gotta find the best way to hold it. Did my house and mailbox in about 25 min (keep in mine I'm a T5 para in a wheelchair lol). I'd recommend this for sure!
Thanks for the great review. Iam a older woman and just bought this, I live in Tx also..looking forward to using..thank again for the easy to understand review.
I have been using WORX trimmer for more than 13 years. I'm 65 years old 5 ft. small old lady. I bought this model this month for replace old one. I love this trimmer that biggest reason light weight and easy to use for my small back yard. Also I got good price $79.99 free shipment.
I just got this. The manual that comes with it is a POS. The website is a joke. Couldn't even find a manual on the worx website. Thank goodness for your video. It helped me put this together. Now I'll see how it works and possibly post another comment.
Oh no! Sorry to hear that. That makes me so mad when I buy something and it’s missing the basics. But, thanks for subscribing and I’m glad this video I made helped you! 👍🏻
Hey man, thanks for the review. There's something about this company that makes a buyer feel really special. They know how to they care for little things. Which is amazing. I think you down graded from toro gas to battery. But worx really knows how to work with customers.
Thanks for your very helpful video. I just bought this and wasnt sure how to adjust the actual strimmer head to the correct angle. Your video showed me how simple it is lol cheers!
Mine came in today from Amazon, had time to get a battery charged and put it to the test. Like you said, it ran about 25 minutes before tuckering out. The unit performed wonderfully and I'm looking forward to a lot of great use.
Thank you for this helpful, informative video! I'm so tired of trying to use a corded trimmer and bought this one hoping it does the job out of frustration today. You made this look great. It's nice to know it easily adjusts for height differences and the edger is sweet.
Appreciate it the feedback. It’s held up very well for me to date. I use it every week in the summer here in Texas. The height adjust is very convenient and converting to edger is simple. I’m glad this helped. 👍🏻
Great review. I have one ordered and am anxiously awaiting for it to show up tomorrow. I got the one with the 4 ah batteries. I have a small yard with many hard to reach places. The gas trimmers always give me trouble after a harsh winter here in PA so I'm definitely looking forward to the battery powered trimmer. Seems so much easier.
Thanks Mike! You’re gonna love it! I just cut my yard here in Texas yesterday and it seems the more I use it the better it works. Let me know when you get it how it worked out for you. 👍🏻
@@ItsCoachMike just used it here. Worked exactly how I needed it to. Got all of the hard to reach places. Did some quick edging. No complaints at all. Seems like the newer model that I have now has a different way to adjust the length. Instead of opening that clip like on yours the new one just has a knob that you rotate to slide the trimmer down further. Super quick. Glad I bought this. Makes trimming fun, quick, and easy.
I'm a beginner landscaper, just have a Craftsman mower, been pulling the grass along the fence and flower beds. Knees have been killing me. Hope this is a good upgrade. Just got it on Amazon for $63 with 2 batterys
Why I like your review: 1. You don't repeat things. Once is enough. 2. You are the only reviewer that I've seen that actually demos the installation/setup/features/advantages/benefits. Case in point: the variable settings of the handle. You showed that it has several (7?) locking points. 3. Your editing was excellent. Part 1, Part 2, etc. Easy to follow. Not a lot of folderol. Questions: Do you use the Workx string, or do you purchase 3rd party .095 string. Their string/spools seem pretty expensive. Finally, does it come with a spool with string out of the box?Thanks!
Hi Phil. Thanks so much for your comment. I’m glad it brought you some value. I’ve been using a line I bought at Lowes. I have bought the Shakespeare 200-ft Spool 0.065-in. It’s around $11.00. It’s lasted me since I made this video. It’s been a while so forgive me, because I cannot recall, but I want to say that it DID come with a pre-liner spool out of the box. Not sure if that’s the case any longer. I bought a a thicker gauge .085 string at the beginning but found it was to heavy and to thick to feed through the eyelet that is on the inside of the spool. The .065 works really well and allows for the automatic dispenser to function properly. Hope this helps.
I have one and the batteries take a long time to charge. The string is very small. The wheels need to be adjustable. Very light duty but the price is good.
@@megae859 it feels light and I worry about how long will it last? I have used it for months now and the more I use it the more I like it. Gave up my MacLaine push edger to use this.
Great review! Just bought one. I’m very invested in my lawn, mowing every other day with my reel mower! I just edged and found the I kept needing to feed line almost constantly. It had trouble really getting down to the Bermuda runners along the ground. Did you see any of the same thing?
Yep for sure. The string is low grade in my opinion. Now, I will say that after a few cuts the edger does such a consistent job that I don’t spend as much time and string as before . I’m fact, I would say I can edge now is a 1/3 of the time as compared to the first few cuts. Also, play around with the angle and length of the trimmer. I found that coming up and over the top of the trimmer head during edging allows for the string to line up and cut more grass vs sidewalk or concrete. Thanks for the feedback!👍🏻
Bought this prior to your review. I am a totally clueless, 5'1", non mechanical person . I am thrilled with how easy it is to use! Sadly- I bought on Amazon and mine only came with one battery and no extra spools. WHich battery should I get as a second battery? ( I see there are 4.0 Ah batteries are they better? ) Also- I used up all my line already! Did I do something wrong? I have been looking for new line- and there are lots of people saying their line on the Worx products is wound backwards??? I want to purchase line that will last longer than 2 trips around the yard. Or is this just dreaming. Thank you!!! Clueless in Blacksburg VA
Hi there. I would definitely get the 4.0 ah battery as it is going to provide you with longer operation time. The line they provided wasn’t of the highest grade so don’t feel bad if it’s all used up already. Are used mine up within about three cuts. You can buy any line really as long as it is correct size which I believe was a .065. The line will last longer as you become more comfortable using the tool Regarding what line to go with. You dan buy the word line again sure, I bought a product from Lowe’s call Shakespeare trimmer line. It was a 200ft roll of .065 for only $11.00. It’s working pretty well. As far as restringing the dispenser spool there is an arrow on the spool itself which indicates the direction the line should be wound. You want to start by inputting the beginning of the line through a small hole that is attached on the inside area of the spool. You will see it once you’re there. Then run the line in the direction of the arrow and then set the spool into the trimmer head itself according to its shape and design. Let me know if this helps and if you have any more questions. Thanks for your comments and feedback
I actually have been using .80 and for sure it’s definitely better. The only issue that I am encountering is the spool has a hole that allows you to insert the string through to begin wrapping it around .80 will not fit in this hole. It’s kind of a wash. The less amount of the stronger string last as long as the higher amount of weaker string. 👍🏻
@@ItsCoachMike I think the string that they give is the economy grade I'm looking into .065 commercial grade same size but stronger on Amazon and probably in big box store
2 years later, can we get an update on how its held up? I bought a harbor freight weed whacker and it hasn't even been one year and the autofeed spool has already messed itself up. looking for something else now.
Thanks for the comment. I’m happy to do a video update. But in the meantime, it’s held up well. I have had zero issues with it. The only thing I would advise if it’s even possible to request would be a second battery charger. I find that with two batteries and one charger it’s a game of periodically swapping batteries to the charger to keep them warm. Overall the run time is about the same I get about 20-25 minutes out of the first battery (or battery that’s been on the charger the longest) and about 15 -18 minutes on the weaker battery. The string spool has held up well and dispenses excellent. I did have to order some weed eater string as I had an entire spool from my previous (Husqvarna) that was .085 which was to thick but I made it work. Definitely needs 0.065 in order for it to dispense properly. The wheel can be a little bothersome sometimes as it can build up dirt so I need to do a better job of keeping it clean. But overall I’m really glad I bought it. Hope this helps
Just ordered one. I have a small yard in front of my house, and I'll be using this cutter in conjunction with a regular push mower ( which are also about 100 )
Sorry for the late reply. With proper charging, you can get about 18-22 minutes per battery. Depending on the size of the yard, I could see it tackling a small yard for sure. Let me know how it's done for you. Thanks for the comment
This is good review. Usingf the tool every week, how many years will the batteries last? Also, some product reviews have said the automatic string feed fails over time. Any comments about the longevity of this product?
Thank you! Based on what I have researched, a lithium-ion battery will last from two to three years. A lithium-ion battery’s lifespan is calculated by charging and discharging cycles. The typical lithium-ion battery has a lifetime of up to 2000 charging and discharging cycles. I have not had any issues with the automatic string feed but I haven’t had it long enough and I only use it 2x a month. Hopefully someone who has had one longer can share some insight of the longevity of this product. Thanks for the comment👍🏻
Good product but the locking head due to it being a plastic part. The plastic housing on the lock split itself apart now it won't stay locked in place. Not repairable and Worx does not have a replacement since the plastic housing split at the lock so I had to buy another one luckily it was on sale $59 for the trimmer only battery not included.
@@ItsCoachMike yeah I have the newest model the 4th generation revolution the locking head stripped somehow so I called them gave them my info and serial numbers and they sent me a replacement it was still under the warranty
@@rgarri6396 one thing I do in between yard cuts is alternate the batteries during their charge. For example. I leave one charging for 3-4 days and then will switch for the other to be charged. This keeps the batteries “warm” and not overcharged. When I’m ready to cut the yard the batteries run full power for the entire time. It’s working well for me in this mannwr
Coach Mike, is there an actual metal blade that cuts the string to the correct length when using the Command Feed feature? (I can't seem to get this feature to work and thought maybe I need a replacement blade). Thanks, really enjoy your reviews.
Hi Phil. I couldn’t find a blade instead it looks like they designed a hard corner (plastic) with a fine edge. It didn’t work well for me either so I bought a pack of replacement blades for my box cutter and was able to fasten it to the area with a screw and a little super glue. Lol. A bit of a rig but it worked. Also, make sure to use a string gauge of .065 or less. I found it allows the Command Feature to work best as well as overall Performance. Thanks for the comment. I appreciate you
I think your video convinced me but I have a question. Says FREE spools of string/pay only shipping. Well amazons idea of FREE is $12.97! The spools probably weigh 'nothing'....and shipping for 'nothing' in weight at this price means you're paying for spools.....do you have an alternate place to purchase spools for this unit.....thank you
Hi there. I’m so sorry I missed your comment. I’ve been buying my line at Lowes. I have bought the Shakespeare 200-ft Spool 0.065-in. It’s around $11.00. It’s lasted me since I made this video. 👍🏻
Is it possible to completely remove the entire spool and attach a metal circular brush cutter...?...Is there a hole that locks it, so you can take the spool off...?....Thank ypu....
Hi John. I don’t unfortunately. I can tell you from experience that it gets the job done. But I guess “the job” might look different for each of us. If you’re looking to maintain your residence property it works perfect. I have had no complaints so far.
Yes it is normal. I’m not sure exactly how it does it but works. I’m assuming that the string spool shifts and allows for string slack and then centrifugal force pushes the string outward. Sometimes you have to press the button a few times to get it to the length desired.
I also have one of this Worx GT 3.0. As far as I understand the mini mower function vanished in this version! Let's call it "evolution" and change the subject! LOL 😂 Jokes apart I'm really happy with this piece of equipment. 2 batteries supplied make it the perfect system for my garden. One battery is too short, two is just the perfect combination! Best of all my wife got it in a killer promotion for the equivalent of 29.9€! A little over US$ 33~34 that was a killer price. They only had 3x and they wanted to get rid of for that price! Useless to say they disappeared on the spot! ;-)
Completely agree. But given the cost to have an independent line trimmer and an independent edger, the Word it is a better value IMO. Now, that being said, a medal blade on an edger will absolutely crush this thing..hands down. I had an echo edger back in the day and that thing was a beast. The Worx is a better trimmer than it is an edger mostly because of the lack of two string ends and the overall power. Thanks for the comment 👍🏻
@@ItsCoachMikeThe new Nitro model has dual string, and more power. In 2024 it's £99 baretool in the UK and probably similarly priced in the US. Same multi functionality and features. Alot of ergonomic adjustment combos. Brushless motor. Lightweight, solid construction. Used mine for the first time yesterday and I recommend, especially for those already on the worx 20v battery system. 4ah+ recommended. Great vid ty
@@morgan8937 nice! I did not know that. I’ve actually moved on from the Worx as the when for the edger snapped in half the other day and I was kind of bored of it that time. I bought an EGO 56v line trimmer and I am love ❤️. The tech is really good and overall performance is equal to any two stroke I’ve ever used. 👍🏻
@ItsCoachMike Top choice and a great eco system of products! I'll be checking Ego out when I bore of my Worx products. I'm already freshly on the Worx battery system for the hydroshot Nitro, and also smitten with the products, so it doesn't make sense for me to jump to Ego juuust yet. But yeah, Ego is defo a #1 choice and the one I'd go for too! Enjoy!

The only issue that I am encountering is the spool has a hole that allows you to insert the string through to begin wrapping it around .80 will not fit in this hole. It’s kind of a wash. The less amount of the stronger string last as long as the higher amount of weaker string. 👍🏻
@@ItsCoachMike I think the string that they give is the economy grade I'm looking into .065 commercial grade same size but stronger on Amazon and probably in big box store
Great review! Thanks!
Glad you liked it! Thank you for the comment👍🏻
Thanks
Great review I also live in Texas.
Thanks! Appreciate the feedback. Nice!
Great review , very helpful..! Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it! You are very welcome 👍🏻
Why was there a floating wood graphic on the screen?
Lol. Editing issues 😁
2 years later, can we get an update on how its held up? I bought a harbor freight weed whacker and it hasn't even been one year and the autofeed spool has already messed itself up. looking for something else now.
Thanks for the comment. I’m happy to do a video update. But in the meantime, it’s held up well. I have had zero issues with it. The only thing I would advise if it’s even possible to request would be a second battery charger. I find that with two batteries and one charger it’s a game of periodically swapping batteries to the charger to keep them warm. Overall the run time is about the same I get about 20-25 minutes out of the first battery (or battery that’s been on the charger the longest) and about 15 -18 minutes on the weaker battery. The string spool has held up well and dispenses excellent. I did have to order some weed eater string as I had an entire spool from my previous (Husqvarna) that was .085 which was to thick but I made it work. Definitely needs 0.065 in order for it to dispense properly. The wheel can be a little bothersome sometimes as it can build up dirt so I need to do a better job of keeping it clean. But overall I’m really glad I bought it. Hope this helps
@@ItsCoachMike thank you, I will definitely give this a consideration.
Very helpful! Thanks
Thank you! I appreciate the feedback 👍🏻
Awesome 👌🏽 video. Can this be used as a lawnmower for a small yard in front of a townhouse❓️
Just ordered one. I have a small yard in front of my house, and I'll be using this cutter in conjunction with a regular push mower ( which are also about 100 )
Sorry for the late reply. With proper charging, you can get about 18-22 minutes per battery. Depending on the size of the yard, I could see it tackling a small yard for sure. Let me know how it's done for you. Thanks for the comment
This is good review. Usingf the tool every week, how many years will the batteries last? Also, some product reviews have said the automatic string feed fails over time. Any comments about the longevity of this product?
Thank you! Based on what I have researched, a lithium-ion battery will last from two to three years.
A lithium-ion battery’s lifespan is calculated by charging and discharging cycles. The typical lithium-ion battery has a lifetime of up to 2000 charging and discharging cycles. I have not had any issues with the automatic string feed but I haven’t had it long enough and I only use it 2x a month. Hopefully someone who has had one longer can share some insight of the longevity of this product. Thanks for the comment👍🏻
Thanks for this Video
Most welcome
Good product but the locking head due to it being a plastic part. The plastic housing on the lock split itself apart now it won't stay locked in place. Not repairable and Worx does not have a replacement since the plastic housing split at the lock so I had to buy another one luckily it was on sale $59 for the trimmer only battery not included.
That’s unlucky. I appreciate the feedback, that hasn’t happen to mine but I will definitely take extra precaution now that I know it could happen. 👍🏻
That happened to me told them and they sent me a replacement tool only
Replacement tool? No part of any type? Interesting
@@ItsCoachMike yeah I have the newest model the 4th generation revolution the locking head stripped somehow so I called them gave them my info and serial numbers and they sent me a replacement it was still under the warranty
@@kevingadson9315 that’s good to know. I appreciate the feedback 👍🏻
Many thanks for sharing 👍
You are welcome! Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Thank you so much!!!!
You are very welcome! I appreciate the comment 👍🏻
Love the socks
Yeah man! My lawn socks😂
I was about to buy it but you said the charge only lasts25 minutes? Thats enough for 1 yard.
Yep. A lot 25-27 minutes per battery. Since this product comes with 2 batteries it lasts for almost an hour.
It takes hours to charge each battery.
@@rgarri6396 one thing I do in between yard cuts is alternate the batteries during their charge. For example. I leave one charging for 3-4 days and then will switch for the other to be charged. This keeps the batteries “warm” and not overcharged. When I’m ready to cut the yard the batteries run full power for the entire time. It’s working well for me in this mannwr
Coach Mike, is there an actual metal blade that cuts the string to the correct length when using the Command Feed feature? (I can't seem to get this feature to work and thought maybe I need a replacement blade). Thanks, really enjoy your reviews.
Hi Phil. I couldn’t find a blade instead it looks like they designed a hard corner (plastic) with a fine edge. It didn’t work well for me either so I bought a pack of replacement blades for my box cutter and was able to fasten it to the area with a screw and a little super glue. Lol. A bit of a rig but it worked. Also, make sure to use a string gauge of .065 or less. I found it allows the Command Feature to work best as well as overall Performance. Thanks for the comment. I appreciate you
@@ItsCoachMike Awwesome response, it's why you are my goto guy for things like this. Thanks so much for the prompt and honest and informative reply!
Thank you Phil! Appreciate the comment. I’m glad I could help. 👍🏻
Worx the best!
I love it👍🏻
I think your video convinced me but I have a question. Says FREE spools of string/pay only shipping. Well amazons idea of FREE is $12.97! The spools probably weigh 'nothing'....and shipping for 'nothing' in weight at this price means you're paying for spools.....do you have an alternate place to purchase spools for this unit.....thank you
Hi there. I’m so sorry I missed your comment. I’ve been buying my line at Lowes. I have bought the Shakespeare 200-ft Spool 0.065-in. It’s around $11.00. It’s lasted me since I made this video. 👍🏻
@@ItsCoachMike thanks!
You’re welcome 👍🏻
Is it possible to completely remove the entire spool and attach a metal circular brush cutter...?...Is there a hole that locks it, so you can take the spool off...?....Thank ypu....
Hi there. I’m not sure. But I will check that and get back to you a little later. Thanks for the question!
Do you know if this is as powerful as the 32volt older model even though the battery is 20v?
Hi John. I don’t unfortunately. I can tell you from experience that it gets the job done. But I guess “the job” might look different for each of us. If you’re looking to maintain your residence property it works perfect. I have had no complaints so far.
When I push the string increase button the machine stops. Is this normal? How can this disperse string when not running?
Yes it is normal. I’m not sure exactly how it does it but works. I’m assuming that the string spool shifts and allows for string slack and then centrifugal force pushes the string outward. Sometimes you have to press the button a few times to get it to the length desired.
@@ItsCoachMike thank you.
You’re welcome 😊
What about the wire guard? Do you just pull it out?
Yes. Sorry I didn’t demonstrate that. It simply pulls out and clicks when fully extended. Same things when closing.
@@ItsCoachMike thanks. 👍
Yeah, but do it Worx?
Yep
So it does not have the mini mower any longer?
Mini mower? I’m not familiar with that. But I will say that no this does not have a Mini Mower
That's the gt revolution, it's a different model
@@Rawrtasticness123 yes that is true I have it and thr second generation model has it as well
I also have one of this Worx GT 3.0. As far as I understand the mini mower function vanished in this version! Let's call it "evolution" and change the subject! LOL 😂
Jokes apart I'm really happy with this piece of equipment. 2 batteries supplied make it the perfect system for my garden. One battery is too short, two is just the perfect combination!
Best of all my wife got it in a killer promotion for the equivalent of 29.9€! A little over US$ 33~34 that was a killer price. They only had 3x and they wanted to get rid of for that price! Useless to say they disappeared on the spot! ;-)
Like it but doesn't work well as an edger.
Completely agree. But given the cost to have an independent line trimmer and an independent edger, the Word it is a better value IMO. Now, that being said, a medal blade on an edger will absolutely crush this thing..hands down. I had an echo edger back in the day and that thing was a beast. The Worx is a better trimmer than it is an edger mostly because of the lack of two string ends and the overall power. Thanks for the comment 👍🏻
@@ItsCoachMikeThe new Nitro model has dual string, and more power. In 2024 it's £99 baretool in the UK and probably similarly priced in the US. Same multi functionality and features. Alot of ergonomic adjustment combos. Brushless motor. Lightweight, solid construction.
Used mine for the first time yesterday and I recommend, especially for those already on the worx 20v battery system. 4ah+ recommended.
Great vid ty
@@morgan8937 nice! I did not know that. I’ve actually moved on from the Worx as the when for the edger snapped in half the other day and I was kind of bored of it that time. I bought an EGO 56v line trimmer and I am love ❤️. The tech is really good and overall performance is equal to any two stroke I’ve ever used. 👍🏻
@ItsCoachMike Top choice and a great eco system of products! I'll be checking Ego out when I bore of my Worx products. I'm already freshly on the Worx battery system for the hydroshot Nitro, and also smitten with the products, so it doesn't make sense for me to jump to Ego juuust yet. But yeah, Ego is defo a #1 choice and the one I'd go for too! Enjoy!
Were you paid to demo this?
Lol. I wish I was getting paid. This video was made just because. Hope you got some value out of it. 👍🏻
How many volts is it ?
20 Volts
It comes with 2 batteries. Sorry I didn’t mention. 20volts 4.0 AH. Each battery will last between 22-28 minutes full go.
@@ItsCoachMike 👍👍👍👍👍
Great review! 🏌️ Like you said, it might be a while before I touch the other gas guzzling noisy trimmer 😂
Appreciate the feedback! Yeah that’s for sure👍🏻
