great value and a cool looking mower [Posted on 2008-05-17]
Compared to other similarly-priced mowers this one is a great value...a little more power for a little less money. I also like that there's no mesh bag that would send dust toward the person using it. Snapping the grass catcher together is a bit of a trick as other reviewers have noticed, but I had it together with a friend in less than two minutes (and its a one-time thing)
If you can assemble it (and here is a suggestion) , its great [Posted on 2008-05-28]
I got this to replace a 20" gas mower which was becoming difficult to start; also wanted a smaller footprint for storage which is primarily why I went for the 16" Worx. It is extremely easy to assemble except for the grassbox: read the instuctions for grassbox assembly and then do it your own way; I started from the front, not the rear. Still, it took about 10 minutes to get it right. In use, it is light, cuts well, the easily accessible height adjustment is a fine feature and of course, it starts instantaneously. Also no more messy gasoline, no fumes, very quiet - I'm becoming green!
Poor Quality Control [Posted on 2008-05-31]
Worx 13-Amp 16-Inch Electric Lawn Mower #WG712
The only hero here is Amazon, which let me return this mower at their expense. I did get an exact replacement. Amazon, I love you.
My review is 2 parts;
1) The working mower is perfect for my needs. It is light, and ideal for the little patch of grass I have. Everything works fine. The grass hopper is a little difficult to put together, but once done it is solid.
2) The bad mower. This mower has 3 moving parts; the blade, the wheels that go round and round, and the mechanism that raise and lowers the mower. The raising/lowering did not work. The box this mower came in was not damaged in any way, so I can only guess that this was defective in the factory. The whole mechanism is enclosed, so it either works straight away or it doesn't. This smacks of sloppy workmanship, and sloppy quality assurance within the Worx facility. Every single mower should be tested for its moving parts, especially for this sort of product.
My bad review is directed at the Worx people, as I believe this came out of their factory broken, and somebody knew it.
Small ....but Powerful [Posted on 2008-06-09]
This is a great little mower. I admit, I was a little skeptical to purchase on line especially since I had never seen one in the stores, however, this is a GREAT little mower. It is easy to assemble, easy to push and maneuver, and it gives a good clean cut. My grass in some spots was a good 7" high and this mower went through it like it had a job to do! I have to admit, I will have to get use to the cord, but for the convenience and just to know that it is ready whenever I need to mow....I Love It!
Before this I had a Black & Decker, cordless electric. I have to say more often than not it lost it's power before I was even finished mowing the back yard and had to wait to charge it before I could do the front. The Black & Decker was left on the curb....and my new Worx in now in the shed taking up half the space!
Crappy design for grassbox, bad reflection on whole product [Posted on 2008-06-18]
The grassbox won't snap together and in the attempt I scratched my arms to bits. I just couldn't believe that it really wouldn't go together and then I came back and saw other reviews to this effect. Boy am I sorry I bought this. I've never written a review before (good or bad) but I am so shocked at the poor design I had to share my opinion.
