WORX 40V 14" Cordless Lawn Mower for Small Yards, 2-in-1 Electric Mower Cuts Quietly, Compact & Lightweight Push Lawn Mower with 6-Position Height Adjustment WG779 – 2 Batteries & Charger Included

This is such a great lawnmower! I'm glad to have an entire assortment of Worx products because my wife and I have been wanting to move away from gasoline lawncare products since we bought our first home. Because of this, I have several backup batteries to complete tasks. It certainly has plenty of power for even the toughest of jobs and blows my Craftsman Gold 190cc 6.5hp engine with 22" deck out of the water!My only issue is a minor one and it's how the side discharge exits to the left as opposed to the right on most lawnmower. So if you're used to mowing your lawn a certain path, you will need to rethink things or end up scattering grass clippings where you don't want them. Also, the Intellicut technology is pretty good, but know that it uses more of your battery's power at higher RPMs, so it's best to stay on top of your lawn maintenance in order to get the most bang for your batteries. It's best not to use this on wet grass because the clippings get bogged and can clog the deck pretty easily, but that's for any mower, truly. It's lightweight and I was able to cut my entire front lawn (8,800 sq ft lm corner lot) in the heat without a break and in less time than usual. I wish I had made this purchase a year ago.

Last year I decided to ditch my old gas mower for a cordless electric one. I was a bit hesitant to do that, afraid that it wouldn't be powerful enough to tackle my often overgrown yard. But this little workhorse is undaunted by tall, dense foliage. With my old gas mower I would have been out there cursing and swearing as I yanked on the cord trying to restart it every time it stalled out in thick grass but if this one chokes I can quickly and effortlessly restart it. It's super lightweight, easy to maneuver, and doesn't take up much room in my shed. I don't have a lot of lawn so the 14" width is perfect for me. I bought it last fall and so far the batteries still seem to be holding their charge well -- I'll update my review if that changes. I used to dread mowing the lawn but this little mower actually makes it kind of fun.

Introduction:As a long-time Worx electric lawn mower user since 2011, having owned the WG788 (36V, 19-in) and the venerable WG771 (56V, 19-in), the new Worx Nitro 40V 21-inch (WG752) represents a significant evolution. This review offers a detailed comparison and first impressions after its initial use on a half-acre yard with varied terrain.Purchase & Value (Current as of June 15, 2025):The WG752 was acquired during a Father's Day sale at an "unbeatable price" ($299, now $289). Notably, this price includes both batteries and a charger, a significant value proposition given that the cost of these accessories purchased separately often exceeds the sale price of the entire mower.Battery & Charging Technology (A Major Leap Forward):Power System: The WG752 utilizes a 40V system (two 20V batteries), offering 5Ah capacity per battery for a total of 180 Wh (compared to the WG771's 126 Wh from two 56V 2.5Ah batteries). This represents a substantial increase in energy capacity.Battery Size: The 20V batteries are noticeably smaller, approximately 70% the size of the older 56V units, improving handling and storage.Charger: The new charger is a significant upgrade, capable of charging both batteries simultaneously, vastly improving efficiency compared to older single-bay chargers.Runtime: On its first run (cool, dry conditions), the new batteries covered a half-acre yard completely, with over 60% charge remaining (only two out of five indicator lights depleted). This suggests excellent runtime, even for larger yards.Cutting Performance & Efficiency:Cutting Width: The jump from 19-inch to 21-inch cut is a "big difference." This wider deck leads to "less back and forth, quicker yard work," and ultimately "more Sunday football game watch!"Overlap: While electric mowers typically require more overlap due to relatively lack of power than gas models (overlapping rerun cut of 20-30% to avoid "Mohawk" stripes - my personal preference to keep my lawn uniformly), the increased 21-inch width still translates to significantly less passes and reduced battery consumption per job.Power: Though electric mowers might not have the sheer brute force of gas, the improved battery and motor technology of the Nitro series provides ample power for clear and full cuts, minimizing reruns.Design Evolution & User Experience:Size & Weight: The WG752 is longer and wider than the WG771. Despite this, it is "VERY" light to operate, potentially negating the need for a self-propelled feature (which would add weight).Maneuverability: While the WG771 featured steering front wheels for easy navigation, the WG752 has fixed front wheels. This, combined with the wider deck, slightly sacrifices maneuverability. However, its exceptionally light weight makes it easy to overcome this and pivot as needed.Material Simplification: The WG752 incorporates "more plastics (probably reinforced for durability)" and features thinner metal handle rods and a simpler overall design compared to the metal housing and more complex features of the WG771.Pros of Simplification: Easier manufacturing, reduced cost, and lighter operation. --> lowering the price tag.Cons of Simplification: Durability will need further monitoring over time compared to the work horse WG771 that survived 10 seasons of abuse (two extra batteries, and three major repair works on various locations, fiberweld is a must-have item, until front steering wheel rod snapped).Folding & Storage: The mower features a dedicated carrying handle for easy transport when folded, allowing it to be pulled like two-wheel luggage and easily stowed.Motor Shut-off Lag: A curious observation is a 1-2 second lag in motor shut-off after releasing the trigger, unlike other electric tools that stop instantly. Users are advised to wait for the motor to completely stop before accessing the collection bag.Comparison to WG771 (aka The Work Horse):The WG771 was praised by me for its robust features: metal housing, built-in chute cover, steering front wheels, constant battery status, turbo/eco modes, quick folding, thick metal handle rods, and hose adapter. However, its multi-joint design may have contributed to wobbly moving, more parts to absorb vibration and abuse (possibly leading to catastrophic breaks). The WG752, while simplifying some of these (plastic blade cover housing, manual pull folding knobs, fixed wheels, no "orange" highlights nor indexing, no always on battery status display, no garden hose connector, and no built-in chute, which you need to attach the chute behind with screws, not easy switch) compensates with advanced battery tech and a lightweight design.Conclusion:The Worx Nitro 40V 21-inch mower (WG752) marks a significant advancement in electronic lawn care technology. It leverages improved battery and motor technology to deliver enhanced cutting performance and remarkable runtime. While some design elements have been simplified for cost and weight reduction, the core functionality and user experience are significantly improved, especially for efficiency and ease of operation. The trade-off in maneuverability due to fixed front wheels is largely offset by its incredibly light weight. For existing Worx users or those new to electric mowing, the WG752, particularly at its competitive price point, appears to be a compelling and future-forward choice. The reviewer optimistically anticipates its longevity, perhaps warranting a next review sometime in 2035.Thanks for reading this long review! Happy Father's Day to all Fathers!!

Way more capable than the price would make it seem. Neighbor had a green works that I tested this against, and was three times the price. This destroyed it on battery life, and also cut better due to the fact it raises both fronts and back wheels which was a big deal as someone who has a highest setting grass mowing routine.Only con is no self propelled like pricier units, but I'll take the tradeoff at this price plus it's much lighter than the self propelled GW competition I tested so it's not hard to toss around.However the standout feature is the fold up ability. I can store this in such a small footprint, I wouldn't upgrade if I could. I have a super stuffed garage and I didn't have to move anything basically to find a spot for it to live in when not in use. Highly recommend.

i live on just under an acre property and had no problem mowing with this. this is very light weight and quiet. with my old gas push mowers when mowing up hill, the drive wheels really didn't do much and i was stuck pushing without any help. this lawn mower does not have drive wheels but that is ok! It is lighter then my push mowers and even though it is up hill, it is light enough where it is easy enough to push up hill. there is no maintenance like your typical lawn mower where oil is involved. I have quite a few other worx and after market worx batteries. with my 20v 5.5ah batteries i was able to mow my back yard and still had half a charge after doing half an acre. this is well built and truly impressed with how well this is built. Caught this on sale and is definitely worth it
