Hi. Thanks for posting your review. Any chance you could share how large the box is? Trying to decide if I could fit the box into my car.

I was wondering about the weight. I looked up the replacement battery and it was listed at 24 lbs. If this is correct, and the entire thing weighs 33 lbs that leaves 11 lbs for the mower itself.

Just received The 14 inch WORX mower. In the instructions it says to let the battery charge overnight before first use. So i will painfully do just that. I can tell you it took 14 minutes to unbox it and put together the handle assembly IN MY LIVING ROOM lol. There are two screws(one on each side) that are already in the side of the mower,once you insert the handle assembly into the slots you will need a phillips head screw driver to tighten them.

I am also looking for a light-weight mower, I have dislocated disks in my back and can't push around anything heavy. I definitely hate paying over $100 a month for a lawn service too!I don't have any info on this mower but I will not need it until August. If anyone here gets it before then, please leave a review. It's much appreciated!

I am pretty sure they are lead acid batteries. Smaller versions of car batteries. Bosch makes a Lithium Ion Mower in Europe its $500.00 dollars for a 17inch,i looked trust me. I wanted a LIGHT mower(this being 33 lbs) as my property has a lot of length and trees and flower beds. If i go away for work,i wanted GF to be able to handle the mowing easy. Not to mention,not having her to deal with oil and gas :-)

that keep the wire tight to the handle...EASY STUFF people. The mower is somewhat small,but if you put the bagger on the back it makes it look more substantial :-) The mower looks VERY well designed and it even had and "italian designed" sticker on one of the boxes. The charger and battery look real fancy and professional,Beefy is a good description. Not some generic CHINESE crap you usually see with rechargeable stuff. The wire from the handle to the mower is equally thick and well insulated. I so far am impressed with the mower. I will do a REVIEW of its performance on the main page tommorow.

I just ordered mine and am looking forward to giving it a try... I can't seem to find much info on this mower. I'm curious, is the battery a lithium ion or ni cad?

Hey Vienna. I responded to your post in another thread, but I'll summarize it here. I don't own this version, but I own the CMM1000. The predecessor of this one. I've had it for over five years, and replaced the 'non user serviceable' battery at four years for a cost of 70 dollars. This version, the CM1936, has a battery specifically designed to be removed. Which would have made the process easier. I also live somewhere very /very/ hot during the summer (Kyle Texas,) which tends to trash batteries. I do recommend that you follow the manual's suggestions. These may have changed with the updated design: The mower should be on mains power whenever it isn't being used, even during the off season. If the mower shuts off during overheating, let it cool down. Don't repeatedly try to coax it to start up again immediately. Don't operate the mower if the battery indicator is in the red. Deeply discharging batteries, (Even deep discharge batteries,) reduces their lifespan. I bet that they also suggest to avoid living in, say, Texas, but I'm a bit fond of the place. :)

fully charged I dont know, I have a half acre and it does it all with power to spare and cuts through the toughest weeds. If you give the battery a full charge you most likely wont need to buy another battery. I have been doing great with one and thats why a bought the 32 volt, it also seems to have more enitial power for the tough weeds with such a small motor. Its also so light I am not done in at the end of trimming.

My son and I mow and weed eat several yards every week. We also have a worx 40v hedge trimmer that uses the same battery. I have only used the entire charge on a battery once and that was after using the hedge trimmer 1st then switching the battery to the weed eater. The battery lasts a long time.

I have a half-acre lot, and can mow it on one charge, without having to rush. The battery re-charges quickly, and the mower is no louder than an oscillating fan. I have had it for a little over a year and will never go back to gas-powered mowers. Good buy!

The battery charges easily on household current. It takes about 4 hrs to recharge a fully drained battery. the grass catcher comes off easily. the blades haven't clogged up. the mower is essentially the same as a push mower except for the addition of a motor. I don't know where a second battery or parts can be ordered. If you come across a source please let me know. Rob

You would totally be able to handle it. It's super light and maneuvers well. However, the battery life would probably not hold up to 8000 sq ft. We had a 3000 sq ft lawn (took it out this fall because of the drought in ca) and it would take me two days of charging and mowing to get it done. The battery was just not great. I was able to extend it a little by taking the bag off of the bag and mulching the grass, but it still didn't last for the whole lawn. And yes, the battery sits on top and you just pick it up with the handle. Super easy.

Yes Minna, We attended the funeral and saw the stone and it was very nice indeed. Thank you for your input and quality service.I did not purchase my battery for a power mower , but rather it is for a chain saw, so I cannot advice on that area . however I can say that having two smaller batteries can be beneficial when one goes for a flop. rather than having your eggs all in one basket.

China, like everything else. The appear to be paying good production costs so that it relatively well made...you can get anything made anyway in China depending on what the US company is willing to pay. The problem is in Worx changed design where it does not, will not, cut close enough to warrant the effort to cut your lawn. Why cut your lawn if it looks like it still needs cutting when you're finished? And I keep getting questions from Worx owners who have battery issues.....so many that I would not buy a Worx battery powered mower even if it was spec'd to cut a required cut of 1" or 3/4" high like their older corded mowers used to cut. For Worx technology is on a backward spin and sooner or later their sales have got to reflect this. Give the consumer what he wants, what he needs, or he will look and buy elsewhere.

it comes with a charger, but you should buy another battery. The life isnt super long. their are 2 versions of the worx gt....1 has place to put the wheel in the flat position alogn with the edge way. the other only has edge only spot to move wheel. I got one of each style for my father in law and my father. this is how i know what is what. with wheels in flat you can just push it like a mower. its not heavy to begin with. I would suggest having some type of blower as well to get the grass off the sidewalk/driveway. the worx one is adequate but its not super strong either and that has same battery as trimmer and its own charger. so that might be soemthing that interests you. it comes with a charger, but you should buy another battery.

I have B&D cordless mower for 7 years. I am happy with it. The battery life could be short. 2 years is what they expect. My first battery last about 2 years. Then, it died. It was changed in service station for a new one. This one has lasted 4 years (5 seasons). But, the running time gets shorter and shorter, then the time is stable and is about 1/2 of the original running time. But, that is good enough for me since I mow front and rear separately. The problem is: now one front wheel got lost. Seems no way to repair. It still mows though. I am thinking to replace it. It might be M&D. However, I am thinking about Neuton Mower. It seems better but more expensive.

I honestly don't know. It arrived mid week & I plugged it in. I didn't go back to it until the weekend. My lawn is small, about 40' x 40'. Then I have a few other places that I mow. It takes about 40 minutes in total & I have not ever come close to depleting the charge. This will be my third season. My wife hates the mower but I think that's just a ploy so she doesn't have to ever do it ..........

Here is some perspective. I used to have some acreage out in Oregon, and I had serious brush and high grass. I would NOT recommend this tool for farm-strength weeds & growth. I think its simply asking too much from a battery-powered trimmer. You need a gas-powered version to deal with the heavy stuff. I bought this model for my home in town, and it handles everyday yard trimming quiet handily, and I am impressed at how long the battery cell packs last. I can routinely get about 2-yards worth before I have to switch packs. But then, I am only using it to trim walk-ways, sidewalks, and flower beds. Here is some perspective.

Marjorie, could you let me know what is the model number on the riding mower? I will be able to cross reference to a suitable battery afterwards. Being a full sized machine, I would say that a 12volt 5amp battery (the one from this webpage) would be insufficient to run it.

This mower never worked and I had to send it back. I ended up buying another Greenworks 40 volt mower model no 25223 which used the g-max battery. This mower is lighter seems to be better built and the battery last for 60 minutes on the large size battery and about 30 minutes on the smaller battery which comes with the mower. Larger rear wheels and a smaller battery makes it lighter and easier to handle comes with a 1 hour quick charger. I purchased this one through Lowes online and it has been a very good mower for the money it also cost less.

If you want the real specs, the company should give them to you. However, in my experience, I am happy with the machine. My house is on an approximate 75 by 100 foot lot. I bought four large size batteries and three chargers. With these, I can run at least four hours and maybe indefinitely longer, if I keep recharging them as I mow with another. They recharge quickly. I have had the machine for a year now. I mowed all last summer and fall. I started it again this spring and mowed some already. The machine seems quiet to me. Less noisy than my gasoline or electric cord mowers. It mulches grass and maple/oak leaves well. If you want the real specs, the company should give them to you.

I do not recommend buying this lawn mower! the battery runs out quickly & you have to keep recharging it. It finally died only after 2 years of use. I recommend you buy an electric lawn mower if you don't want to use gas.
