Though there was some skepticism at first after spotting a few negative reviews, I was keen to try the Worx WG190 as I have never had a cordless trimmer before, and thought that having a battery powered trimmer would enable more agility when I was sprucing up the garden. With a 48-volt battery, a gas-like throttle control, adjustable handle and a pull out metal guide, I was keen to try out the Worx WG190 string trimmer. Taking away the smell of gas when gardening, this no gas yet gas-like throttle control maximizes usability time when trimming different lengths and in different conditions. The Worx WG190 has an impressive 13-inch cutting diameter, plus a rotating head for edging, it seems to be the ultimate product for trimming gardens.
Setup and Assembly
The initial set-up of the Worx WG190 did not require any previous knowledge of this model or any other trimmers for that matter, as the parts snap together. It would be easy to assemble even for a beginner, and therefore doesn’t take very long to assemble.
Cutting Head and Autofeed
With a single line cutting head the Worx WG190 avoids any bump issues when using it through a thick weeds patch or similar. Though a dual line cutting head can provide a better cut in that it can handle weeds better, it still did a good job of the garden.
The autofeed works a real treat, as instead of having to focus on the length of the string, you can pay attention to what you are indeed trimming – avoiding your planted treasures and trimming on the grass or weeds! An autofeed also speeds up the process of trimming your garden, and when you are able to focus more on the task in hand, you’re able to finish with a more professional look, which is something you can get from using this trimmer.
Ergonomics
With ease of use key to any gardener, this lighter trimmer provides a much more agile experience when working around the garden. The balanced weight of it makes it more comfortable to use than previous models or other types of trimmers, and the adjustable handle is a great feature for not only extra personal customisation but also for reaching trickier areas. At around 8 pounds, it’s easier to use and carry for long periods of time.
Battery Life
With most of the previous versions having some troubles with the battery life, the updated battery for the Worx WG190 has a high capacity 48-volt battery, making it last longer than expected. It also has a handy low battery indicator, great for avoiding getting half a garden done before your trimmer suddenly runs out of juice. The battery charger that comes with it recharges it quickly, another useful feature for the Worx WG190.
Conclusion
The Worx WG190 has the capability and power to trim whatever is in your path, and with the maneuverability of the lighter weight and cordless product, it can pretty much handle anything. Though it may be light it is still a strong trimmer, and is very much able to put the professional touch to any lawn.
