 An excellent "Disposable" lawn mower June 27, 2010
pamcox51505 (CA)
At first we thought it was a great lawn mower. (but instantly we knew we should have gone cordless, because of cord issues.) We've used it 12 times maybe? and the motor has burnt out! REALLY???! We're *very* angry and dissappointed. That's $250 of hard earned cash (we don't have much of these days) gone! One of the worst investments we've ever made.
Make sure you clean the bag (if used) and underneath after each use. (That's still not a guarrantee it will prolong it's life) It certainly didn't with the lemon we got. We'll never invest in a Worx product again. Buyer beware, it will work great the first 6 or so times, after that be prepared to buy another.
 Worx works for small yard June 23, 2010
G. Davis (Eastern NC)
We own a house in the NC mountains. We go up there about 2 times/month in the summer. Most of the property is wooded, but we have about 500 to 1000 square feet that needs mowing. I have never owned an electric mower before, but thought that it might be a good idea here. It was. I don't have to worry about storing gasoline or changing oil or any of the other things associated with a gasoline engine. Putting the grass catcher together was something of a pain, but it was not too bad. This thing works very well for what I have. I would not want to try to cut a half acre yard with it or a yard that has a lot of high weeds. Be certain to get an extension cord that is heavy enough to carry sufficient current to the motor. Larger wheels would be a help, but the light weight helps when you are in a hilly area and have to pick the thing up to move it to another plateau.
Worx fine so far June 1, 2010
Robert (Evanston, IL USA)
I've only used it once so far. It's about what I expected. Did a decent job cutting the grass at the highest setting (2-3/4"). Putting it together wasn't so bad; as others have said snapping the grass collection bag together was the hardest part, but after about 15 minutes I got it all together. It's possible to fold the handle forward so it stores in a fairly compact form.
The main drawback is exactly what you'd expect for a corded electric mower - you have to keep moving the cord so you don't run over it. It's a pain when you first start out, or are trying to go around trees and stuff. Once you settle into a pattern however it's not that bad. And I have a small lawn, so it's not a big deal. I would rather deal with the inconvenience of a cord, versus have to store gasoline with little kids around, and put out multiple cars' worth of emissions from a small gasoline engine.
 Did the job for 2 years then died May 29, 2010
Cyndi-marie Myers (Arizona United States)
The lawn mower mowed our mid sized lawn, went through grass that was a bit too long. Bought it in 2008, took it out this spring, switch was touchy took a wiggle to get it to work, then wouldn't start at all.
Worst Worx WG712 May 23, 2010
S. K. Singh (Maryland)

Just received this Worx WG712 today and found it to be extremely disappointing. First of all, it has the appearance and feel of a child's toy -- the only thing missing are the pop-up balls as found on toy lawn mowers. This lawn mower is 95% plastic, not sturdy at all! The front right wheel wobbles because it was broken. The grass box was missing all four screws, as well as the two C-clips used to hold the line from the motor to the controls. This mower is very loud compared to battery operated or electric mowers. Whilst using the grass box, clippings are blown up over the top of the grass catcher box, and into my face. I found that this Worx WG712 does not bag well at all; it does not have enough suction, and lots of clippings are left behind on the lawn. Overall, I was very disappointed in this lawn mower and would not recommend it.
