Efficient, Environmentally Friendly Battery Power
The Worx Cordless Trimmer/Edger is powered by an efficient, lightweight, rechargeable 18-volt Lithium Ion battery pack, which delivers plenty of power without the added cost of gas, the hassle of extension cords, or the pollution associated with gas-powered alternatives. The WORX lithium battery packs are exceptionally lightweight and provide 3 times the useable life of standard Ni-Cd batteries. The battery pack will even work with your other WORX Lithium Power Share tools; just swap it out when you're ready to move on to the next job. When you're not using the WorxGT, it stows out of the way with the included wall mount. The battery charges in approximately 1/2 hour!Ergonomic Design for Maximum Comfort
The Worx Cordless Trimmer/Edger features several adjustable parts, making it as comfortable as possible to use and allowing you to garden with greater ease. It's built with ErgoSum Design Technology, so you can operate the WorxGT using a natural grip. The trimmer's front handle has multiple adjustable positions, and the rear grip is angled for maximum comfort. The shaft of the trimmer extends or retracts with a simple twist to match the height of every user and adapt to every application. The handle also pivots easily to go from trimming to edging in a matter of seconds. The head of the trimmer also pivots 90 degrees to make light work of sloped surfaces and gives you access to grass under low-lying branches. A fold-away guard and twin wheel set add protection and accuracy to give your yard a professionally manicured look. At just 5.3 pounds, it's light enough for almost anyone to use. An automatic line feed keeps the trimmer from binding up and interrupting your work, and the 10-inch cutting radius covers plenty of ground.The Worx GT 2-in-1 Cordless Lawn Trimmer/Edger is backed by a full two-year warranty.

 The product is nice but..... September 5, 2010

The Worx is great if you are doing a small yard. But the problem is if you are using it for over 30 minutes make sure you either have a backup battery ready or that you have something else you can do while the battery charges as the charge does not last very long. I say around 30-45 minutes max.
 Bad Battery September 4, 2010
Christopher A. Soltis (Pottstown, PA)
I ordered this trimmer in May. I have used it maybe 5 times this year and now the battery dies after about 3 minutes use. The trimmer itself is good - the battery issue is TERRIBLE. Something needs to be done about this and I do expect to get a new FREE battery!
Battery not as advertised September 4, 2010
L. Fracassi (Rochester, NY United States)
Purchased Lithium Ion in May to replace my Grass Hog because it was lighter and promised 3 times the battery life. Big mistake. 2 Grass Hog betteries gave me 20 min. The Worx gave me consistently 13 min. (Yes I timed it). Called and they replaced the battery. Still 13 min. then the battery would not charge. Called and received another battery. Worked for a couple weeks only. Called again and have another battery on the way. Also the Battery overheats when you use it in hot weather and you can't charge it when hot without hurting the battery. Imagine trying to use a trimmer on a sunny day. Also the auto line feed only works sometimes. Should have returned in the 30 day period.
On the good side It's light, the battery charges within 30 min., it cuts well when working (but not as powerful as Grass Hog), and the Customer Service is friendly and readily sends out a new battery. Glad I have a 2 year warrenty. Would not buy if I were you.
Poor customer service September 3, 2010
not a worx fan
We purchased a Worx GT cordless trimmer in June. I got one good run from the battery and now the battery works for about 5 seconds and shuts off even when its fully charged. I have tried to reach the customer service both on-line and on the phone. I wait on the phone and never talk to anyone. No one calls back like they promise to. No one returns my emails. I do not recommend this product or the company!
 WORX GT works! September 3, 2010
Here's my opinion
I love this trimmer/edger. We have a gas trimmer, but it's too cumbersome for me, so my husband was the only one who could use it. When I decided I'd become more involved in the yardwork, I looked for something lightweight and easy to start. The WORX GT is perfect. The added bonus was that I was able to assemble it myself in no time. The instructions, both for assembly and for use, are the best I've ever seen.
I've had it less than a month but I've now used it several times. As a trimmer it seems to take care of everything in our yard, including some pretty tough growth behind our property. Also, it's very easy to convert to an edger. Battery recharges quickly.
Very good investment.
