Amazon.com Product Review
The WORX GT is the perfect tool to neatly manicure your yard after you mow. It even won the prestigious Editor’s Choice award from Popular Mechanics Magazine at the 2006 Lawn and Garden Show. The lightweight WORX 18-volt battery-powered string trimmer weighs less than a gallon of milk and is the only trimmer on the market which converts from a standard grass trimmer to a true walk-behind edger – 2 tools in 1. The integrated Edger wheel allows you to quickly and easily roll the trimmer along your patio or driveway for adding that perfectly edged look to your yard or garden. And forget the hassle of pull starters - the WORX GT starts with the single push of a button. Forget the aggravation of untangling extension cords – the 18-volt battery-powered WORX GT can trim up to a 1/2 acre yard on a single charge. It goes anywhere you need to. And unlike some competitive cordless models, the WORX GT comes with a 1-hour quick charger so you don’t have to wait for hours for the battery to re-charge…you’re back to work in minutes not hours. The unique trimming head of WORX GT pivots up to 90-degrees to reach under decks, under play equipment, under trees and bushes or on slopes and hills. No more bumping to feed line. The auto-feed line system of the WORX GT feeds out line with a simple squeeze and release of the trigger. The fold-away spacer guard also helps to protect flowers, tree trunks, outdoor lighting and other delicate objects from damage by the trimmer line. The WORX GT adjusts in length and handle positions to ensure a more comfortable ergonomic fit and less strain on backs and arms. And unlike long, bulky trimmers, the WORX GT collapses for easy storage in a closet or garage. What's in the Box
WORX GT 18-volt cordless string trimmer, 18-volt battery pack and 1-hour fast charger, pre-loaded spool with 16-feet of trimmer line, complete tri-lingual operator’s manual and product demo DVD for quick assembly and clear operation

 Terrible product, worse customer service August 28, 2010
Bambili (Atlanta, GA USA)
This is the worst money I have spent in a long time. The trimmer cannot handle trimming, the edger function does not edge, the battery lasted 10 minutes and then failed to recharge at all. Customer service told me to rewind the spools. Hello! One of the "great" features was that you didn't have to put string on any more! A refund was refused and they are sending me a new battery. Why? I still have to go behind it with my old gas trimmer and gas edger! Don't waste your money.
Dead as a door nail... August 28, 2010

I am on my second battery. Charged it for 48 hours and just went out to try it again. Barely did 2 fence posts of light trimming before it died. Wait a few moments and you might get a 5 or 10 second burst but it is short lived. Purchased in June and have only been able to use it a few times. The customer service is abysmal. I have requested an RMA to send it back but am not expecting any kind of response. Caveat Emptor.
Trimmer's battery only last 3 cuttings! August 23, 2010
O. Shaw (Philadelphia, Pa.)
I purchased this worx trimmer after watching an informercial . The trimmer is not nearly as powerful as they portrayed and after charging the battery 3 times, it was completely DEAD!!!!!
Stay away, Worx's will not work with you on battery issue! August 16, 2010

Battery and Worx are worthless. No help! My unit is only 2 months old! Battery will not charge. It now over heats(blinking red light) so it won't continue to charge after 5 minutes in the charger. Can't get response from the Co. They have not helped others from what I have read. They must know about the negative commets and problems with the battery, and continue to advertise and sell them. Go to other on-line retailers and the "Q" tv retailer and read all those reviews as well. Everyone has the same thing to say.
I can't stand this product August 15, 2010

I think this may be the most frustrating product that I've ever bought. In fact, I HATE it. I've owned this product for two years so I've gotten to know it well. I use it almost exclusively as an edger and it does a terrible job. My yard isn't that big but the battery can only last one of four sides of my yard before it dies. I have purchased a spare battery to help with this but it sucks that even with two I can't do the edge of my entire yard in one shot.
I think I could live with the battery woes but the thing that made me toss it to the ground moments ago was the terrible line that the Worx people send you. I'm not kidding when I tell you that I just spent nearly an entire spool of line on about 4 feet of lawn. Just standard freshly mowed lawn grass. Auto feed? HAHA!!! No No No. It doesn't auto feed very well, that feature is a joke but that's not the problem. The line BREAKS every 10- 30 seconds of use. So you have turn the dang thing over, remove the cap and spool, pull more line out and reseat the spool. Often the line is melted together in the spool and then a screw driver is need to separate the line in order to be able to feed it through the proper hole. I thought maybe I just had a bad batch of spools so I order another but have the same EXACT problem.
In fact, I was outside trying to use this product no more then 30 minutes ago and after tossing it down to the ground in frustration, decided to post my beef with this edger in hopes to save anyone I can the frustration of owning such an over-hyped piece of crap.
I honestly felt like I was on candid camera using it just a few minutes ago. I'd just get started and the line would break. Fix the line try again and a few seconds later the same thing. Repeat. repeat. It was like Worx was doing a social study to see how many times I would retry it before giving up. Or was it a cruel joke?
And besides the dismal battery and terrible line it doesn't really edge all that well. It just doesn't have the power to do a good clean job.
Please, if you've seen the over-hyped commercials about this product, don't believe them!!! Research other products, you'l be glad you did.
