Summary: Nice quiet trimmer
Review: I got this on Wednesday, charged the battery and went out to attack the weeds on my 1/2 acre lot Thursday morning at first light (6:15 AM). Unit is very quiet, no complaints from neighbors. I was able to cut the weeds in the back yard, switch to edging and edged the driveway and then started to trim the front yard. Battery ran out before I finished. It went for about 25 minutes of pretty much solid on whacking. The grass was over a foot high and wet, so I didn't expect too much.

I am happy with the performance. Not as fast as my old gas model for sure, but it is lighter and easier to use without killing my back. 1/2 hour of trimming is all I want to do at one time anyway.
The edger was great. The wheels help take the strain off your back since you can rest it on the cement driveway as you walk along. This unit is not going to dig any trenches, but I'm fine with that. I never used to edge anyway, but this is so easy, from now on I will edge after any trimming.

Concerning the auto line feed - After 10 minutes of solid trimming, I needed to stop and restart the trimmer to advance the string. I actually used the manual button on the spool and pulled out what I needed. This thing is working OK. I just need to let it stop every few minutes to advance more line.

I'm generally happy with the purchase, but really wanted a 36Volt Lithium model, but couldn't find one.

Summary: WORX Lithium-Ion Trimmer/Edger
Review: Delivery was prompt. Assembly was very easy. It trims grass as any trimmer would do but I like the light weight and many adjustments to make it fit the current cutting conditions. I am especially impressed with the edging performance. This is a light weight trimmer (line is only 0.65") but it acts like a larger edger. The line actually cuts a groove into the ground and does a very nice job. The trimmer also cuts thicker growth than I expected. I have a small lot (but a lot of cement curbing around our landscaping) so I can't really comment on the amount of time the battery will last. The charger does fully charge in approximately 1/2 hour so I can plug it in before I start cutting grass and by the time I'm finished cutting, the battery will be fully charged. I've already taken advantage of the free spools for life - ordered 6 spools for approximately $6 (shipping and handling) and I think that is a great deal.

Summary: WORX
Review: Unfortunately I have only had the chance to use this once..wrong time of the year. But it shipped quick and came with all it was supposed to and the 1 time I used it.. it worked great! SO love that it has a rechargeable battery ( no more dragging cords around!!) although that makes it somewhat heavier in hand, it is WELL worth it! The battery charged very quickly so I'm not really concerned if the charge doesn't last too long.
