WORX WG901.1 3-Piece 18-Volt Cordless Outdoor Tool Combo Kit with Blower, String Trimmer and Hedge Trimmer Review

The WORX product is alright, although the mower arrived with minor damage (poor packaging). The customer service is the worst I've ever dealt with.

After purchasing my WORX mower and grass trimmer through Amazon, I eventually needed to purchase more trimmer spools and opted for the "free" spools program (paying only shipping) offered directly from WORX customer service. In the same order, I also purchased a device from them that allows you to store the grass trimmer and it's battery on the wall of your garage.

After being charged as expected, two weeks past with no product. I contacted their customer service and was informed both products (spools and trimmer device) were on back-order but would ship in 24 to 48 hours. After another week passed, I called again and was transferred to a supervisor who sounded like he was reading from a script. He admitted the spools had not been on back-order but could not explain why I was lied to previously. He could not tell me when my order would ship saying that it was "in process". He then offered a to wave the shipping cost as though that would fix not being able to use my $100 WORX grass trimmer without the spools they sell. This supervisor then assured me he would forward my "case" to upper management and I would receive a call within the 72 business hours. It's been eight days and I've not received a call. It's been over 4 weeks since I placed the order.

Though it's for a small amount of money (less than $25), WORX customer service has essentially stolen my money and falsely advertised in selling me a product I can't obtain and they won't (or as this supervisor said to me, he "can't") tell me why!

I assume others are receiving the items they purchase from WORX. I have no idea why they can't solve my issue. I'm sincerely amazed at the incompetence and inability of this company's customer service and therefore highly recommend all consumers consider purchasing lawn products from one of WORX's competitors instead (try Black and Decker). If this is any example of how WORX is willing to do business then they deserve to go out of business. Buyer beware.

Product Description:
The WORX Cordless Bundle includes everything you need to maintain your lawn to professional standards: the WorxGT Cordless 2-in-1 String Trimmer and Edger, WorxAIR Cordless Blower/Sweeper, and WORX Cordless Hedge Trimmer. Each tool runs off an 18-volt rechargeable battery (two are included), allowing you to take care of multiple jobs on a single charge. With their ergonomic features and efficient operation, these Worx tools help you get the job done easily, leaving you with time and energy to enjoy the rest of the day.


These rechargeable, energy-efficient, extended-runtime tools give you a powerful edge on lawn care.

The kit includes two spools, one-hour charger, and two 18V battery packs.

The hedge trimmer's 3-position front handle adjusts to user for maximum comfort and control. View larger.
The rechargeable blower/sweeper easily cleans hard to reach areas on patio's, garages and shops. View larger.
The trimmer-edger's ErgoSum Design converts from a trimmer to an edger in seconds. View larger.Battery Power: Efficient, Economical, Environmentally Friendly
Spend your time working, not searching for an available outlet, thanks to the 18-volt extended run-time rechargeable battery. The battery pack swaps easily among the tools, making for efficient and economic usage and allowing the Worx tools to go wherever you need them. Plus, the cleaner, quieter battery-operated motors make for a much more environmentally friendly alternative to loud gasoline-powered garden tools. The battery will recharge in about an hour.
Adjustable Design for Maximum Comfort
Every Worx tool is designed to fit you, with angled grips and adjustable handles for maximum comfort. They're built with ErgoSum Design Technology, so you can operate them using a natural grip and stance. After the work is done, each power tool has its own wall mount for easy, out-of-the-way storage.
Trimmer Edger with Adjustable Shaft
The shaft of the trimmer/edger extends or retracts with a twist, and the handle pivots easily to go from trimming to edging in a matter of seconds. The head of the trimmer also pivots 90 degrees to make light work of sloped surfaces and gives you access to grass under low-lying branches. A fold-away guard and twin wheel set add protection and accuracy to the 10-inch cutting diameter, giving your yard a professionally manicured look.
Hedge Trimmer with 20-Inch Blade
The hedge trimmer's front handle has three adjustable positions, and the rear grip is angled for maximum comfort. The overmold soft inserts fight fatigue by absorbing vibration and make the trimmer easier to hold securely. A center-mounted battery gives the trimmer improved balance for even more accuracy and control, and the 20-inch blade reaches stray twigs and branches with ease.
Blower / Sweeper with 120 Mph of Force
The cordless convenience of the WorxAir blower/sweeper takes this handy tool everywhere but the living room. A proper grip fights fatigue by allowing you to work in a relaxed, natural position, while 120-mph air speed sweeps away debris on hard surfaces.
All three Worx Cordless Power Tools are covered by a two-year warranty.

Black & Decker CS100 12-Volt Cordless Electric Broom Hard Surface Sweeper Review

Black & Decker CS100 12-Volt Cordless Electric Broom Hard Surface Sweeper
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This unit was very easy to set up.Basically, you slide on the nozzle.Then you attach the unit to the charging base.And you plug the charger into the wall.That's it for setup!

Using the unit is also very easy.There is a single switch on top that you flip and away you go.Since the unit is completely battery operated, there are no cords or gasoline issues to worry about.The whole tool is idiot-proof.

However, with the battery on a full charge, you only have about 15 minutes of full power.After that time, the unit looses charge quickly until it only puts out a small puff of air.By then you're waving the thing around so much you might as well get a broom to do some actual work.

I give this item 5 stars for ease of use, but only 1 star for doing what it's actually intended for, which is blowing.Considering I don't normally buy blowers for any other use, I give it 2 stars overall.

Factory-Reconditioned Black & Decker NS118R 18V Cordless Broom Hard Surface Sweeper Review

I found this unit to be great for light duty and especially blowing out leaves and grass that get blown into my garage. I'm in a wooded area and there are lots of small twigs on my driveway that can be blown off with this blower but I do have to get much closer and it takes longer than my gas blower. The battery is real good for about the first 10 minutes and then it starts to drop noticeably.I have several batteries so I don't have to be too concerned about running out of power. It is convenient because of its light weight and cordless feature.

Black & Decker NS118B 18 Volt Cordless Broom Hard Surface Sweeper - Bare Tool (No Battery Or Charger) Review

Black & Decker NS118B 18 Volt Cordless Broom Hard Surface Sweeper - Bare Tool
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The Electric Broom is an 18V battery powered sweeper. The standard unit comes with two batteries and one charger. This is NOT the standard unit and is only the bare device and does not come with any batteries or charger. For what it is marketed as this is a very nice piece of equipment.

There have been three reasons that people have traditionally avoided Electric Lawn equipment in favor of the more traditional gas counterparts. Those three reasons are power, price and portability. These objections no longer pose an issue with the 18V Electric Broom.

The objection for more power is not so much overcome by more robust power on this unit as it is by smart marketing. You will notice this unit is NOT marketed as a blower. That is because the unit does not pack enough punch to blow debris and leafs on a lawn. It is strictly good for hard or moderately flat surfaces. The unit is more then powerful to sweep or clear out gullies and other crevices. I am sure one might want a gas powered unit to take clear out a lawn or other non-flat area.

The issue around price is also one that Black and Decker has overcome. The unit is cheap! With gasoline prices were they are this is a price difference that is not unattractive to many of us.

Finally we get to the portability aspect of the trimmer. Being battery powered the unit does not need a cord so there is no limit to its range. The battery lasts about 15 - 20 minutes before the power is noticeably depreciated (using the standard 18 volt battery). Normal usage in most area would be able to utilize the two batteries and complete the work. More in-depth work might require a bit of planning or the purchase of spare batteries. This may be one of the units from Black and Decker that due to the short battery time it may be worth looking at the extended power silver batteries from Black and Decker.

Since this is the third 18 volt battery unit I have purchased from Black and Decker I have become hooked on the 18 volt line. Since the batteries are interchangeable I am always looking at the Black and Decker 18 volt equipment first.

Remember this unit is just the model and no charger or batteries. Don't buy unless you already have batteries and charger.The batteries alone run between $20 and $30 dollars so if you need these you should buy the complete unit for the money.

This is a great unit that is far more eco-friendly then a gas blower although not as powerful. It certainly makes sweeping less of a chore. I can even continue to work in my lawn during Ozone action days now! I recommend without any reservation although price point wise I can't understand why one would not buy the unit with batteries and chargers. It is a better deal unless you have far to many batteries.

Here's the thing....Worx has a somewhat decent product...the cordless blower/sweeper and the Worx weed wacker could be good products if they didn't BREAK .... ALWAYS.The customer service is your worst nightmare.Really, your worst nightmare.You see the infomorcials, think "hey what a great product!"You purchase the item, use it and it breaks.You call customer service and can't get through. You leave messages and wait for them to contact you.Call a few more times and realize that they really are not customer orientated at all and then get ticked because now you have a broken product, a heavy duty charge on your credit card and no customer service. That stinks.No product, no refund, no recourse.Please be advised before purchasing this product...this item will work great...do just what the commercial said it would and then most likely break prematurely and you will not get be given a refund or any other type of help because there is NO customer service.Please heed my warning...customer service is nill and the product won't last.
