Product ReviewsWORX WG743 16" 40V Lawn Mower with 2 Batteries x 4.0Ah

Decent mower

I purchased this mower so my 12 year old daughter can help me mow our ½ acre yard.

The 4 aH batteries lasted as long as I had hoped. I would say they could mow a small to fairly typical city-sized yard. The intellicut actually works. We could hear it kick in where we have thicker patches that grow lush and long quickly. This mower was able to handle it decently. The grass was probably between 4-5 inches in those areas and I set the blade height to 2 inches. It adequately handled the job. Adequate means it mulched decently though there were some places it left minor clumping.

I already had one set of 4 aH batteries, so when the first ones were spent, we placed the next set in and she kept mowing. She finished mowing her part before the second set were spent. I also have 6 aH batteries on the way. I’m very interested to see how much cut time is added using these.

For my purposes, I’m very pleased with this mower. My 12 year old can handle it because it is light. It actually does a decent job of mulching. That said, here are some concerns:

I’m already bought into the Worx line, so this was a good deal for me. However, for someone not already bought in, I think it is cost prohibitive and lacks some of the features similarly priced mowers offer.
I’m concerned how the motor might handle an accidental mow over of a decent sized stick or other object.
I’m concerned it will be difficult to find replacement blades and am concerned these blades will be difficult to sharpen due to their light duty nature.
Does the handle “fold down?” Kind of. You will scratch up the handle bars doing so. For the cost, they should have had a lock and latch system for clean fold downs.

For me, these concerns are not as big of a deal. It is a secondary mower I am using to teach my children how to mow. This is appropriately sized for smaller yards and I wouldn’t hesitate recommending it for such, but there are a couple of other mowers I would look at if you aren’t already bought into the Worx line.Read full review...

WORX 17" lawnmower

It's an okay deal for the cost. However I think they could have made it self-propelled, and had it be able to go further on one charge. My backyard isn't very large, and it barely made it through. I don't let my grass grow much, so I never once went on turbo so it should have lasted a lot longer I believe.Read full review...

I Hate Cutting Grass...

I used to use a gas mower, but had to give it away due to lack of storage ability. I no longer have a garage to store it.
I live in the city on a small city lot. Basically all I have to cut is the tree lawn. Not much at all.
My parents had an electric mower years ago, and it worked great.
So I figured this might be the way to go.
Yes indeed!
This mower is a true workhorse.
Just perfect for my needs.
Plus it has the WORX quality we have come to know and love.
There are two settings, turbo & eco.
I used the turbo because my grass was so high, you could stand a 24oz Pepsi bottle in it, and would not see the top.
In spots.
What a test!
This mower outperformed my gas mower hands-down.
There was no comparison.
Just blew it away.
I used to hate cutting the grass because I always had stuff come up and hit me in the face.
Plus there was always a cloud of dust.
This mower kept everything under the deck.
Not one piece of debris came out from under.
No gas to deal with.
No puffs of smoke.
No noise, or at least very low.
And it cut, and mulched, the grass superbly.
Not a nice cut, an extraordinary cut.
It looks so cool, my neighbor had to stop me and look for himself.
It's not meant for a large yard, unless you buy extra batteries.
It's not meant for tree roots, stones, and whatever.
It has a very sturdy plastic deck.
I only used it once, on turbo.
Fully charged is five.
After cutting I had two bars left.
It took two and a half hours to charge, brand new.
The only negative observation, I wish they made thr battery cover a little bit more stout.
A little tlc, and it should be fine.
Very highly recommended.

Great Walk behind mower for older or young persons!

I am so impressed with this mower! Worx has done it again! This mower is easy to operate, light weight, goes at a pace that I can keep up with and I have a hard time walking! It cuts very well with the bag or without. It mulches the grass very well if you don't want to bag it! I always look at Worx products when I am wanting something new in lawn care. They seem to always come up with items that are easy to use and a quality item. I have purchased everything I buy from Worx because of the quality of the item. This lawnmower will go up under my trailer to mow the grass and very close to fence so you don't have as much trimming as many mowers leave. I started out with a 18 volt trimmer (many years ago)and was so sold on it that I look here first! Their sale prices are very good and that is when I buy something new. The return policy is excellent, also if you need to do that. Thank you for another GREAT product for me!!!! Read full review...

Good mower for an average size lawn and you don't let the grass get tall

Lightweight; easy to maneuver; easy to start; I suggest if you have a larger than normal yard you should purchase a set of extra batteries; the mower doesn't slow down when the batteries are low they just quit which actually is good; I would purchase this again;Read full review...

Fills my light mowing needs

Was looking for a mower to cut areas that my riding mower can't get to. This mower fills the bill.
It's light weight and is easy to push on a level yard. I am cutting St. Augustine grass to a height of 3 1/2 inches and on average remove 2 to 3 inches each time I mow. I probably mow approx. 150 square feet so don't have a feel how large of a yard the stock batteries(4amp) would cut. I use the ECO mode and on occasion it will rev to TURBO mode. (A nice feature).

WORX are good products

The Worx WG743 mower is easy to operate and battery life seems to be ample. I have a Worx weed trimmer and blower and they work great. Nice thing is that all the batteries interchange. I like the dual charger. Plus I have a charger for the trimmer and blower too so always easy to find charge station. Very light and easy to move around. ( I am 85) I have not tried the bagger yet. I do wish it had a grass side Shute but plan to jerry rig up a rear discharge chute attachment.
May change my mind on review later, but so far very happy with the Worx products.Read full review...

Good for small yards

This is the second generation Worxs mower I purchased. The 1st Gen lasted for me 6 years till the replacement battery was discontinued. I like the extra power however it does heat up the battery to where it'll drain faster. Overall it's still a nice tool. Read full review...

Great electric mower

I've had a neuton for about 10 years and finally got tired of replacing batteries. This thing is great. Very easy to adjust the cutting height and trims the grass evenly. I can also use the charger for my other worx batteries. Only have a quarter acre but the battery still shows a full charge when I finish.
