Environmentally Friendly, Maintenance Free
Because it has an electric motor, the WorxECO Mower eliminates the hassle with a traditional gasoline engine--just push the start button, and go. The rechargeable battery provides enough power to mow up to 17,500 square feet on a single charge. Purchase additional rechargeable batteries to cover larger jobs, so you don't have to waste time waiting for your battery to recharge to complete the job. The electric motor emits much less noise than a gas engine, protecting your hearing and reducing noise pollution.

Versatility to Cut, Mulch, or Bag
The 19-inch deck offers plenty of cutting surface, with easy all-wheel height adjustment between 1-1/2 and 3-1/2 inches. You can collect your clippings in the included grass bag, slip in the mulch insert and recycle clippings back into your yard, or take advantage of the side discharge chute to quickly clear grass from the cutting deck.

Added features include a safety key to prevent accidentally starting of the mower, and a power level indicator that keeps you informed on how much charge you have left in your battery.

Ergonomic, Adjustable Design
The WorxECO 24V Mower features ErgoSum Design Technology, allowing you to adjust the handle to the most comfortable operating angle without using any tools. Thanks to the electric motor, vibration is minimal, and the included soft grips reduce vibration further to minimize fatigue. The handle also folds for easy storage.

From the Manufacturer
The WORX 24 volt cordless mower with 3-function mowing (side discharge, bag and mulch) is the perfect eco-friendly way to mow your lawn. Eliminating the need for gas and oil this clean alternative has a 19" cutting width so you don't have to sacrifice on cutting time. The 17 amp hour battery provides excellent run time also. Eco-friendly WORX battery powered mower comes with a 24 volt removable battery, providing ample power to cut through your tough lawn care jobs. There are no long power cords dragging behind you or beside you, getting all tangled up and making your lawn care job tougher than it already is. There are no messy gas cans left hanging around in your garage and you can be sure there will be no messy oil spills on your driveway or in your garage. This is the clean, hassle free alternative to lawn care. Believe it or not, voltage is not everything. So the next time you're looking at a cordless tool, pay attention to the Ah value. It indicates the quantity of energy that can be stored in the battery pack; so the higher the better. The WORX cordless mower comes with a 17 Ah removable battery, providing excellent run time before recharging. The 6-position height adjustment will provide you with plenty of options. What makes it even better in this mower is those height adjustments can be made with just one lever to adjust all four wheels at the same time. Did you know that batteries are affected by weather? Extreme heat or extreme cold can damage your battery. That's why the WORX mower was designed with a removable battery pack. If you will be storing the unit for winter or for any extended period of time, the battery pack can be removed and placed in a more suitable location.

Customer Reviews

A good mower and a good green option
So far this has been a great mower, it is easy to push and works well. It came basically fully assembled, all you have to do is tighten the knobs for the handle. The battery appears to hold a charge for the listed time, maybe more. And one key point to me is the battery is removable to be charged, unlike the Black and Decker where the battery has to be charged in the mower. I will try and update this over time to comment on how the battery holds up over time. The design is wonderful and with the safety key you should never have a problem with it turning on unwanted. It mulches well too. It is also very quiet, probably 1/3 to 1/2 as loud as a gas mower. Overall everything is easy and appears good so far, we'll see how it holds up over time.

Terrific mower!
Our old gas mower keeled over halfway through the lawn last weekend ... and then it rained every day all week. By Saturday, the grass was sopping wet and ankle deep.

We unpacked the Worx cordless mower from the box and - wow! - it gobbled through that grass! It cuts beautifully, neat and even, and the motor doesn't complain even when you run over sticks (not that you are supposed to run over sticks, but sometimes it happens). The mulching function makes the clippings literally invisible.

We knew we wanted a cordless electric mower. There are half a dozen choices on the market now; this is one of the more expensive ones, but it's worth it. As other reviews have noted, it's very thoughtfully designed. There's no assembly needed - it unfolds ready-to-go out of the box (and folds back down, with the squeeze of a lever, for storage). Yes, it's 80 pounds, but the better gas mowers are up there too, and great ergonomics mean you won't strain yourself pushing it. At 5'0", I particularly appreciated the height-adjustable handle and easy-to-hold deadman switch. The grass height adjuster is a giant joystick, easy to see and reach. It starts instantly with the push of a button - get used to just letting go rather than letting it idle when you stop to think or sneeze; it's not like a gas mower where you worry about starting it up again. It's so quiet you can hear your iPod over it, and best of all - you smell nothing but sweet cut grass.

One great virtue of this model is that it has a removable battery. That means you can charge the battery indoors, if your mower lives in an unelectrified shed. It also means that the battery can winter indoors, where it will be safer and last longer. If you have acres and acres of lawn, you could even buy a second battery and swap it out when the first is spent. The battery compartment is well-designed and easy to access; the battery has a carrying handle (it's heavy!) and a connector that snaps on in only one way. It's just like charging your cell phone, only bigger.

The battery has a charge indicator - full, halfway, and empty. Our house sits on a ~7000 square foot lot. I mowed all the grass, front and back, and the indicator light went from full to half. (I don't know if it really started out tippy-top full, though, because I didn't charge it - I just unpacked and mowed). The ad copy says it'll go 17,500 square feet per charge. From what I've seen so far, I'm not worried.

The downside: the manual is confusing. It talks about a "mulching attachment", but really you mulch by leaving the only provided attachment off, not by putting it on. And of course it would be even better if cordless lawnmowers used NiCad batteries rather than lead acid (longer life, less pollution, much less heavy), but no manufacturer's doing that yet.

TREMENDOUS - and I've got pictures to prove it!

We'd really let the lawn go. When we tried to use our old Craftsman 6.0 gas lawnmower, it made noises like ball bearings were spinning around inside the engine. And, of course, it spat out a horrid amount of smoke. Seemed like the time to finally consider going green.

After much online research and then thoroughly checking out the items we could find locally (the sales people were truly surprised at just how thoroughly we went about this!), we decided on the Worx Eco.

Before I started to cut the worst of the grass, I had one of my daughters hold a tape measure so we could see just how high the worst tufts of lawn were (22 to 28 inches!). Then I mowed a swath and took more pictures.

The mower never choked on any of the grass, though there were times it did slow way down; when that happened, I backed off a bit and let the blade spin up to speed before going forward again. The mower never stalled.

I went back over it at my preferred height and now the lawn looks great. I've been able to mow our entire yard three times and the battery still shows full on its one charge.

I couldn't be happier.
