The Worx WG112 is a great little trimmer ... for a small area, anyway. I have a small yard and need to trim around 3 flower beds / garden areas and around my steps. This trimmer is perfect for that small area. No gas engine, so it's very quiet. And it's cheap! I couldn't find replacement line spools for it at amazon, but Sears has them for less than . So, if you have a small area to keep trimmed, get the WG112.
I've just bought my first house and the yard was finally long enough to need a cut this weekend.
We have a pretty small lot, maybe 1/4 acre, and the backyard had almost no grass because of the way it was landscaped. I decided that I didn't need a big self-propelled mower, and originally through maybe I'd get a reel mower before I decided that keeping the blades in shape would be too much of a bother.
I did a little research and found that the MM875 had excellent reviews here on Amazon. This one, the MM1800, had no reviews, but from everything I see it's exactly the same but with a slightly narrower cutting diameter.
I ended up picking it up from Lowes, and then made another trip back after realizing that my extension cord was only 25' and not quite enough for my hard.
The mower is really very light and easy to set up in about 5 minutes. Starting it up is as easy as pulling the lever up against the handle, which I love because growing up, my dad's mower took 50 pulls to get it going.
The mower is very easy to push, and has an adjustable handle for different height preferences. The adjustment for the cutting height is also very well done, where you just have to move a single lever on one of the back wheels and it takes care of the whole mower.
I used the mower on mulching mode and didn't notice any piles of clippings anywhere; they were very very fine and evenly distributed. I have not tried the bag yet.
The only possible negative that I can bring up after this first mow is the cord, which is something that you should have gone into purchasing this mower knowing. I always used to mow the lawn twice around in a circle, then cut a diagonal down the center, and then follow that diagonal back and forth each direction. With the cord, this technique left me having to stop and adjust the cord a lot near the end of my mowing. In the future, I will do the two laps and then simply start at one end (either diagonally or horizontally) and mow progressively away from the outlet.
Pros:
No need for gas, and no battery to wear out
Quiet, compared to most gas mowers
Easy to push, comfortable to hold, very little vibrations in the handle
Easy to adjust the cutting height
Easy to turn on/start
Cons:
Cord can get in the way if you don't plan your cutting pattern
I purchased this cover when I replaced my 15-yr-old John Deere riding mower with a new one. It's been six months since I got it, and so far I'm very happy with it. It fits the mower beautifully, holds tightly even on the windiest days, and keeps my mower clean and dry. Even though it's in the carport, dust, dirt and rain blow in, so this cover is the perfect solution.
Did not read the instructions, just filled it with the oil supplied added gas and mowed. Very easy to use and start. To switch from the mulching to bagging to side discharge is very easy. It is new and has only been used once but so far it is great and the cost seems reasonable. Will update if any problems.
Perfect replacement for OEM blades. I'd been spending more than 40% more for original OEM blades, while these do the job better. Very durable, and came very sharp (which OEM blades usually required a bit of sharpening before installation).
