I bought a refurb leaf vac/blower from them a year ago. I couldn't fine a thing wrong with it. Looking at a line trimmer now. At almost 50% off I feel you can't go wrong

I have a used one for sale with one used battery and one used one. I will also include the blower(used) along with the hedge trimmer(new). My yard is too big for this cordless to handle. I have to stick with the gas ones. Reply to this post and I will get in touch with you.

may be interested in your Worx, please send me the details i.e. usage, condition, price, age. You posting is confusing - is it one used and one new battery?Assume it is the LI-ion model?rsnodgress@hotmail.com

Great question.... I haven't had to buy new line for it yet but with my other black and decker trimmer I simply took the wheel cartridge inside, that the line attaches to, and just took it to Home Depot and asked them to help me match it, and it was quick. It seems to be a pretty standard line, easy to find especially with a sales associate helping you.

i purchased this and was not satisfied at all. as it turned out it was very costly because once i used it, i could ot return it (of course). i ended up purchasing one from rhodan and fields (a reputable company) and have been extremely satisfied. be care of rhodan and fields sellers on internet as some are counterfit. if you wish a reputable dealer, i would be glad to provide you with that information. i hope this helps

Yes, I was writing before about my batterie powered edge trimmer, which does not work, I called Amazon they told me, after 30 days I have to contact Discount Jungle, but they never answer, the manufacturer you dont get either, you really have to look that your product does not come from this company, the lawn mover before I received is bended, but there is no help from there side, the only think I do, dont ever buy anything from them, better save a little longer and get it from the store, is less loss of energy and move on.

It is curious that the folks at the Worx Website seemed to be confused and non-commital during the long stretch over the summer when there were no 18-volt Lithium Ion-powered trimmers available to ship (see link below). Among the several times I called the anwers varied from "try calling us after August first" to "I will be glad to take your order now and advise you when the unit becomes available".WORX GT WG151.5 18-Volt Cordless Electric Lithium-Ion String Trimmer/Edger With One Battery & 30-Min Charger

Mine was new. Retailers are suppose to tell you if a power tool has been "factory reconditioned."

Dear Mr. Y. Balas: I bought the WORX 775, as confirmed by Amazon. I know the difference between 14" and 19", and $150 vs $433.48. I bought the 14" WORX WG775 Lil'Mo 14" 24 volt cordless lawn mower, on sale, for $150. I am very pleased with it. Have a nice day.

Andrew, I recently contacted Worx directly to ask this question and was told they are working on developing one now. You might shoot the company an email to see where they are in the development process. I told them we would not buy a blower until they made one that used the same 40v battery as the trimmer we have now.

If it is available it probably costs more than a new complete lawn tool as probably a replacement battery would too. I suggest buying another but different Earthwise lawn tool and use the 18 volt charger that comes with it to replace the defective one. All of their tools need extra batteries otherwise a fifteen to thirty minute usage grows to two days in length when considering multiple charging times.

Do not buy refurbished on systems like this. They are work horses out the gate and once the work horse breaks its leg they are put down and then its time for a new one not a refurbished. Refurbished is a work horse who leg has been mended but will never be the same.

I actually called Sharp to ask that very same question. The sales rep told me that 120RX was discontinued and was replaced by 125RX. He didn't have an answer regarding any differences and just read off the spec sheet just like anyone else can do on Sharp's website. Overall, customer service at Sharp isn't very helpful or knowledgeable.

Hi Suzanne,I never took possession of the item. However, the company was very helpful during my research phase. I lost track of how many times I phoned them. Every person I spoke to at Generac was quite knowledgeable and eager to please.By the way, my sister purchased a refurbished Dewalt from Home Depot for a fraction of the cost. It's more powerful then this Generac model. All of the refurbs at Home Depot or Lowes are completely reconditioned as new and come with a warranty. You may want to consider this option.Michael

I believe "R" stands for "refurbished" which means that the tool had been brought back in its new condition by the factory. The tools I bought and I reviewed were not refurbished, but I bought a DeWalt thickness planer which was refurbished and was in every respect brand new and I have been using it for years, the cutter head was perfectly aligned to the table, has offered top performance and I never had to replace anything on it except the knives, of course. Although I cannot prove it, my guess is that refurbished tools have better tolerances because the factory goes over each tool twice therefore quality control is double. You cannot see any sign of use on a refurbished tool and you cannot tell it apart from a brand new if it does not say so on the label. As a bonus, refurbished tools are cheaper as they are sold at a discount because people think of "refurbished" tools as second hand tools, which is not true. If I have the option to buy a refurbished tool at a discount price, I would go for it without a second thought.

Thnaks for your reply about the length of the warranty and that the second one was fine. Does that mean it was in the "new" condition as Amazon states it to be? If so, you should up date your review and maybe the rating?... It would be helpful to know that things turned out OK and to your expectations, with buying a remanufactured machine. ;-) I almost didn't pull the trigger on ordering one, with it only getting a 1 star rating. Thank you for your time in answering my questions. Mine is suppose to ship tomorrow,.. just keeping my fingers crossed.

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.

As a partial answer to the question, yes, I returned mine at 3 months and got a refund which I promptly applied to a gas model of the same machine. The electric never worked well enough, kept overheating, was under-powered and generally useless, HOWEVER my gas model which I have had for the last 5 or 6 years works exceptionally well with no issues, I highly recommend it. My use in a 20' x 30 garden twice a year plus weed control and some flower beds and the occasional trenching job. It will plug up if working in heavy weeds or roots. Mow the area and rake it out before tilling: lesson learned.

That's a good deal. You could go ahead and buy a spare battery from Amazon and for ~$131 you'd have a nice trimmer setup. We have a small in-town yard and I have yet to run through both batteries but I always go through one, so having the spare is essential. I also have to agree to some extent with Anthony Deyal, in that if you're using the trimmer for heavy use, the battery drains real fast. It's got plenty of torque with the gear drive (I use it to trim hedges occasionally), but using that kind of power sucks the battery dry. It really needs a li-ion pack.
