Product did not live up to its claim. Not much power. The line does not auto feed like it should. Serious mowers will want to stay with a gas powered weed eater. Does not cut well around chain link fences. Have to make several passes in same area where small weeds are growing. Would maybe be worth it if you had a 10'x 10' square yard with perfect grass and no weeds. I will be sending mine back.

Dissapointing performance, line keeps jamming, probably due to light duty construction. I could have gotten something similar with half the money.
I will know better, next time.

We had to stop and rewind the cord every five minutes... after unwinding it because it was wound so tight. That's not unusual, coming from the factory... but rewinding by hand, then having to stop so often because the cord broke... is very unusual! NOT a cordless weeder!

This product is probably the worst piece of junk I have ever attempted to use. I ordered a replacement spool, thinking that the factory has some kind of magic that might improve the feeding and lifespan of the string-NOT. The string breaks every 3-5 seconds and you have to take the spool out and rethread through two openings! What a time consumer. It took me 1.5 hours to edge a tiny lawn that should have taken 15 minutes. The edger does not work for the same reasons. I cannot believe I paid $100 for this junk. Not to mention the fact no retailer carries any replacement spools and/or string for this product.
DO NOT BUY THIS PIECE OF JUNK

I purchased this product several months ago and had open heart surgery before I could use it. I've been going through weeks of rehab and finally got the ok to do yard work again. I got the Worx trimmer out and used it for the first time yesterday. I have never been so disappointed in a purchase before. The line is too thin, and it breaks about every ten seconds. Then you have to take it apart and re-string it and that is very difficult compared to my old Robi gas powered trimmer. I am at the point of getting rid of the machine because I feel it is not engineered properly for general use.

I purchased Worx Trimmer #WG102 purposely for edging and to replace my old one. At my surprise, both lines spilled out from spool at first try. I thought the line was not long enough as stated on the manual so I ordered 2 additional pre-wound spools hoping the problem will be resolved. Worx Trimmer #WG102 performance was very disappointing because contrary to auto feed, I had to manually feed the line less than a minute of its usage. Through frustration, I stopped edging with Worx Trimmer #WG102 all together and my aging TORO became handy for now. Worx Corp needs to review and or reengineer Worx's spools for the machine to do well on the market.

During the short periods of time the Trimmer worked it was better than any Edger/Trimmer I've ever owned; but, the line kept breaking and it would not feed so I had to manually manipulate the unit and feed new line. It was just too much of a hassle so I returned the unit.

Machine actually works pretty well for me. Decent battery life and edging feature is nice. Only problem is that it tends to feed too much line. Fixed by using slots in the line spool to hold tight.

The user instructions are completely useless. I thought I was purchasing the Worx rechargeable Trimmer. Boy, did I get a surprise and now there are minimal instructions for puting my purchase to use.
