TLDR Review: WORX GT Revolution Trimmer
Pros
- •Versatile n-1 trimmer and edger that switches between modes effortlessly
- •Lightweight design lets you work for extended periods without arm fatigue
- •Cuts through thick grass, heavy weeds, and dense vegetation like ivy effectively
- •Batteries charge quickly and work with other WORX 20V tools through the Power Share system
- •Remarkably quiet operation compared to gaowered models—your neighbors will appreciate it
- •No fuel mixing, no pull cords, or complicated startup procedures
- •Delivers approximately one hour of battery runtime per charge, sufficient for small to medium yards
- •Straightforward maintenance with easy spool changes and convenient pround line refills
- •Proven reliability with years of dependable performance reported by longtime users
Cons
- •Significantly less powerful than gaowered trimmers—not built for heavy landscaping work
- •Single charge covers about 50% of a halcre, so it's really best for small to medium yards
- •The cutting line frequently sticks together and breaks, adding to maintenance headaches
- •Despite the "n-1" label, the edger function is underwhelming and lacks real edging power
- •The battery charger is proprietary to WORX; you can't mix and match with other brands
- •Launches grass clippings in all directions, requiring safety glasses and protective clothing
- •Moderate battery life means you'll likely need a second battery for longer yard sessions
Bottom Line
The WORX WG170 is an excellent fit if you've got a smaller yard and value quiet, lightweight, easy-to-use equipment over raw power. Just manage your expectations on that "edger" function—it's more of an angle adjustment than true edging capability. Before you commit, confirm you're ordering the correct regional version for your area, as the battery systems differ between UK and US markets. If you've got a half-acre or less and don't need gas-powered muscle, this trimmer will serve you well and save you from mixing fuel and wrestling with pull cords. However, if you're tackling larger properties or heavy vegetation, you might find this battery-powered option underwhelming.
