Gardening may look like all sunshine and rainbows, but every gardener will agree that cutting dried leaves and trimming bushes can get quite monotonous.
My love for gardening runs deep, but I'm often exhausted after spending hours in the yard trying to trim the bushes and chop the branches neatly. So, when I came across the Worx 56V trimmer in the Country Gardens magazine, I decided to give it a shot.
Living up to its claims, it delivers a power-packed performance and helps me keep the yard in top-notch shape.
Hi there! I'm Stacy. And today, I'll be reviewing the Worx 56V String Trimmer. So, without further ado, let's get started.
What Is Worx WG191 String Trimmer?
The Worx WG191 String Trimmer is a cordless device that works on Max Li-Ion batteries instead of gas to deliver powerful performance and trim the edges with precision. With neatly trimmed bushes and no weeds around, my lawn looks pristine and is the perfect hub for breakfast or evening tea with neighbors.
It uses a 0.080" trimmer line, which leaves room for more precision and is far more durable than a conventional line. Besides, the introduction of the Command Feed System makes feeding the line possible with a mere push of the button, thus saving my time, especially while I'm edging the flower beds.
How Does Worx WG191 String Trimmer Work?
The Worx WG191 string trimmer works on a single 56V battery that is powerful enough to rival gas-powered trimmers. Thus, it extends the runtime of the device but produces no emissions. Given the growing focus on sustainability, it was high time I swapped to more eco-friendly models, and I couldn't have asked for a better deal than this trimmer.
Besides, this 2-in-1 device comes with a push-button operation that releases a new trimmer line and makes working with it very easy. Gardening can be exhausting, so it is always great to have appropriate tools for it.
Worx WG191 String Trimmer Features
I'm sure you are wondering what makes the Worx trimmer such an essential tool for yard care? In this section, I will highlight some of this device's standout features. So, let's delve into the details.
1. Multi-Functional
The Worx trimmer transitions effortlessly between a trimmer and an edger. The best part is that you don't have to hold it at an awkward angle to edge the bushes as it has a wheeled design. Thus, you get a clean, precise finish without spending hours in the yard.
Besides, you can remove the wheels to improve visibility while trimming, and the head pivots from 0 to 90-degrees to provide the desired angle for cutting. To switch from trimming to edging, you have to press the push-button on the shaft and twist it.
2. Easy Line Release
Traditionally, most string trimmers have a bump feed system where you have to keep tapping the bottom of the trimmer against the grass to bring out a new line.
However, the Worx trimmer spruces things up a bit. It uses the command feed system in which you will have to press a button on the device to bring out a new line. So, you don't have to wait or keep tapping the ground for a new line and can keep working without interruptions.
3. Powerful Performance
The Worx WG191 delivers the efficiency that has long been associated with gas-powered trimmer models. You can adjust the throttle speed and use a lower rate for your trimming duties and a higher one for precise edging. In addition, changing the speed will enhance the device's battery life while still delivering clean cuts.
In addition, the 0.080" trimmer line and the 13" cutting swath are excellent features as it guarantees longevity and covers the entirety of my yard in record time.
- Gas-like performance with zero emissions. Line diameter: 0.080 inch
- Variable speed control delivers additional runtime and powerful versatility
- Innovative Command Feed spool system offers on-demand line feeding
FAQs
Yes, Worx includes one battery in the box along with the charger and a step-by-step manual that'll help you assemble the device.
The trimmer is surprisingly lightweight, at 8.8lbs, and is ergonomically designed to simplify operation.
If you use the included charger, it should take no more than 90 minutes to charge the device entirely.
Worx offers a two-year limited warranty on this device which is extendable up to three years if you pay an additional charge. I'd also like to point out that the brand offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.
