WORX40V 17" Cordless Lawn Mower for Small Yards, 2-in-1 Electric Mower Cuts Quiet, Compact & Lightweight Push Lawn Mower with 7-Position Height Adjustment – 2 Batteries & Charger Included

I have never owned a lawnmower before this one, and I dont really know how to maintain them or properly use them. It's almost been a year since I purchased this lawnmower, and I think it's fantastic for the regular lawn owner who doesn't know what they're doing. It will chomp through anything, I'm not kidding, and keep going. It's a little rough on the blade when you hit rocks, but the little guy keeps chuggin along for me. I've only hit something hard enough once that the blade came off, but it was easy to turn it off and put the blade back on. Most of my yard is thick though weeds and it's done a great job keeping those back. I mow down rocky slopes, over random trash that gets thrown in my yard, regular flat soft yard, and it handles it just fine. My only gripe is that I cannot find a replacement blade and I could really use one with all the rocks I hit. Oh and it's light enough for me to carry down a big slope back and forth between the shed and the yard. So that is a bonus!

I love this mower. I live in the middle of the woods and have a very rough yard. For six years I've been cutting it with a Worx weed eater, so I knew I loved the brand. This year I decided I couldn't do the whole yard another year with just a weedeater (I still have to use it on the worst parts) and decided to order a mower from the brand that I have been depending on. I couldn't be happier. Although I do my best to miss sticks and rocks, it's impossible to miss everything. This little mower works like a champ. The batteries last plenty long enough and charge rapidly. This is really the best purchase I have made. Thank you, Worx!

Lightweight and pushes easily. Sad it does not have an auto function to help push. This gets my front yard and half the back yard down at one time, 10000 sq ft yard with pool. If you let the grass grow more than 2 inches, it dies while cutting so you'll have to make a double pass. Charges quickly about 2 hours or less. Otherwise it's all plastic so you must be gentle. Cutting is medium duty and conks out if you hit any large stick or palm frond. No complaints.

Only 2 complaints...1) I still have to cut the grass myself and 2) its not free....But seriously, this is one impressive little devil. In about 20 minutes-I mowed down 3 separate sections of my property, and the grass was pretty high, since my gas mower croaked, despite my every effort to clean the carb, spark plug etc. I'm not new to the game, I've had several properties over the years, many gas mowers and was a little reluctant to go down the electric road. I will never go back, not after this. it's early on, but I barely dented the charge in these lithiums (5 Amp versions came with it)-one LED light down after cutting all these areas. The deck is deep underneath-so grass doesn't get bolloxed up inside at all, its a metal deck. Quieter than the vacuum cleaners in the house, amazing. Feels substantial, nice solid handgrip, and controls are simple, easy to see and it Worx! Interesting fact not in the manual (which is barely enough to understand fortunately the mower is pretty self-explanatory at least to me)...when I started out, the motor didn't sound very powerful-as if the batteries were not charged-but it cut pretty effortlessly so it was up to the task even at lower revs. But as soon as hit some higher, thicker grass-3-5 inches tall, the motor revved up and bingo, grass was gone. A good power-saving feature. I did need to set the deck to its lowest setting, which is better because I probably have been cutting my grass too short with the gas mowers and here in PA the higher blade setting kept me off all the rocks everywhere.Just a few other comments-would I use this professionally for daily use-not sure this would take a repeated beating like some heavier duty machines gas or electric, but for my strictly home maintenance use, it sure beats the gas mower-is lighter, and the self-propelled feature works well so far. i was using a high-wheel self-propelled gas mower. I think I'd stick with that for heavier work but my yard is fairly level.lastly-the cost of lithium cells-I don't know if Worx is getting their cells from China like many now are, but all these "clone" packs that are described as "for" Worx machines, or all the other brands-right here on Amazon...it has been my experience that Chinese manufacturers are slipping us a "mickey"-using either used cells, defective cells or even smaller cells in larger casings-to pad out the size, but will have less capacity-I have 14500 "3.7V AA size cells that put out less than 1000mAh rather than the 4000-5000mAh true 18650's should be. Not hard to put these in an 18650 sleeve. maybe these Chinese cells are OK, but with the experiences I've already had with many "replacement" laptop computer batteries, I am pretty convinced this is the business model. You are not going to get a pair of 5 Amp 20V batteries for 40-50 dollars, unless I am mistaken. Might be the right voltage, but I doubt if you will get the specified amperage out, and of course not much usable time out of the battery. It looks like such a good idea, but penny-wise and pound-foolish. and this is given the cheap pack doesn't downright explode or catch on fire. Its called "thermal runaway". Not what you want with lithium packs. Might as well stick a hand grenade in there.

I ordered this mower during last winter. I was very excited to have a lightweight mower, battery operated. I have always used a gas mower that was heavy, but it did cut the grass nicely. I wanted to have a mower that was easier to move around the property. Well, what a mistake I made. I was not able to use it in the winter and had to wait till at least sometime in the spring. I didn't take it out of the box until it was springtime and ready to mow some grass. I had talked to neighbors that had a battery mower that were very happy with their purchase. I wish I had at least bought the brand that they had. Unfortunately I bought a WORX Nitro. When I attempted to mow the lawn, I found that the handles were far too long for the mower and when I used it, it would tip back off the ground. Not really good for mowing in the air. Also, the instructions were ridiculous...press this button and hold this bar to start, continue holding that and hold the black bar to make the mower go...really. Seems like that should be made easier or more understandable. I took me a while to get going with this mower, in fact, I sent one back because it didn't seem to work. Maybe just the craziness in getting it to move in the first place made me think it was broken. Well...it was too late to send it back so it was replaced. I FINALLY got it to work regardless of how confusing the instructions were. Then I find out that it can't complete a whole yard mow without having to recharge the battery!!! This was the most stupid and ridiculous mistake I have ever made. I should have talked to my neighbors that seem to be happier with the mower they purchased, a different brand, of course. To all of you reading this, if any, don't buy a Worx Battery Mower. Expensive and a waste of time. At least I still have my gas mower the works like a champ.
