Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I finally gave up on gas powered edger/trimmers and began comparing electric edger/trimmers on the market. I looked at reviews for the WORX WG175 along with quite a few other "Big Brand Names". Based on the reviews and the price, I chose the WORX WG175. It arrived as scheduled and was easy to assemble. By the time I finished edging my yard for the first time, I was accustomed to the operation and balance... it is very light and I finally stopped trying to "muscle" it around. The second time I used it, I was very disappointed that I finished so quickly... this thing is such an improvement over my 2 old gas trimmers and is a pleasure to use. Battery life is also better than I anticipated. My front and back yards involve approx. 350 linear feet of edging and I was able to completely edge both three times before the battery needed charging. I also bought the extra line spools and have not used up the first one yet. HINT: The auto line-feed works OK each time the trimmer is started up from a complete stop.You can let out more line one step at a time if needed by pressing the square button on the spool housing. This is a very good edger/trimmer and a good bargain to boot.
