Anybody else Pre-Order the WORX WG783 Lil' Mo 14-Inch 24-Volt Cordless 3-In-1 Lawn Mower with Removable Battery: Anybody have an opinion?

I was wondering about the weight. I looked up the replacement battery and it was listed at 24 lbs. If this is correct, and the entire thing weighs 33 lbs that leaves 11 lbs for the mower itself.

I am becoming skeptical that it will ever be released...I thought this was too good to be true...A real wall-scanner for 300 $ ?? The DeWalt website actually claims it is in stock both here and on other tool supply sites but all the sites they point you to are on "PreOrder" status. AcmeTools claims availability "approx September" while the other sites claim "avail July". On their Facebook page someone asks this very question on the 4th of July. A DeWalt employee answers the question on the 8th of July saying it is available and provides a link to their re-sellers list which I have pointed out mostly claim wrongly "In Stock". On the 10th of July the poster points out that the stores that DeWalt claim have stock all don't. They never reply to that afterwards - kinda just fades away.

I used my mower 6 years before I had to charge it more frequently and I decided to order a new battery. Two years is too soon. I would try to contact Earthwise or Amazon. I ordered a new battery through Amazon. If you do older a new battery, make sure it is for your model lawnmower. The battery I ordered was for a newer model and I could not put it gin my mower. Amazon could not legally allow me to ship the battery back, but they refunded me the money. So I bought the newer model lawnmower and I hope the battery will be a backup. Also my old mower still charges but just smaller cuts.

Yes, I did. I got one locally. They run about $500. A little spendy but work great. I am very pleased with the mower.

I can pretty well do the yard twice....battery charge last long time....then, if necessary, I use the other battery from my other Earthwise device....just don't have a problem....the ION battery stops abruptly...but I like it....would buy again....If I could only find a lawnmower like this...

I do not recommend buying this lawn mower! the battery runs out quickly & you have to keep recharging it. It finally died only after 2 years of use. I recommend you buy an electric lawn mower if you don't want to use gas.

Yes I noticed that too. I appreciated your first post with the website on where to get the Lithium-Ion Battery because that answered one of my questions of how much was a replacement battery. That website also informed me of what all comes with this product (ie. line, battery, and charger) unlike Amazon's description. I am definitely leaning toward this product as my grass trimmer, but I still am hoping for some more reviews regarding this product before I order.

My yard is a pretty decent size (borderline big enough for a riding mower) and the edger/trimmer 24v battery lasts long enough to edge and trim all of my front and back yard...then I usually have to plug it in while I mow the lawn so that I can use the blower when I'm done, but it lasts quite a while and works great. I have used it for the dreaded "first cut" of the year and had no problems with it trimming the taller grass down (roughly 6" in some areas)

Thanks, Nancy. That's good to know. I'm staying away from Worx and will just use mine until it dies and maybe repair it. No battery in mine. Mine is an older Worx corded mower that cuts as short as 1" which is next to the last choice, or the last choice which is 3/4 inch. I have the best looking lawn on the street whenever I can get around to cutting it. I hate to have to go European because I'll have to step the 240v down to 120v but Bosch cuts as low as 20mm.

It comes with one battery that would only hold a 3 minute charge & I received no satisfaction from the Worx company. I threw it in the trash & bought a 40 volt unit from the big box store. There was nothing about theWorx unit that I liked. I agree with another responder that it is only for light use.

As a recent purchaser, I have not had occasion to attempt blade replacement. I did, however, fall into their trap of purchasing another of their products that I thought would utilize the batteries that fit the lawn mower. Be aware that the 40V Lithium-Ion battery and G-Max 40V battery will NOT interchange! The GreenWorks website is woefully out of date, and the resellers do not always specify which batteries will fit. This little adventure cost me about $200 and has cost GreenWorks a customer.

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.

Try mowersdirect.com. However, I'm not too happy with the battery because of its longevity and price. I feel an electric mower is not as economical as initially thought.

I have used my mower for just one year. The battery has sufficient power to run 40 - 45 minutes before it gets too depleted. A thicker wetter lawn reduces run time to 30 minutes. I would guess that the battery can be depleted and recharged several hundred times before needing replacement. I recommend that you buy a second battery and alternate between two.

Hey Vienna. I responded to your post in another thread, but I'll summarize it here. I don't own this version, but I own the CMM1000. The predecessor of this one. I've had it for over five years, and replaced the 'non user serviceable' battery at four years for a cost of 70 dollars. This version, the CM1936, has a battery specifically designed to be removed. Which would have made the process easier. I also live somewhere very /very/ hot during the summer (Kyle Texas,) which tends to trash batteries. I do recommend that you follow the manual's suggestions. These may have changed with the updated design: The mower should be on mains power whenever it isn't being used, even during the off season. If the mower shuts off during overheating, let it cool down. Don't repeatedly try to coax it to start up again immediately. Don't operate the mower if the battery indicator is in the red. Deeply discharging batteries, (Even deep discharge batteries,) reduces their lifespan. I bet that they also suggest to avoid living in, say, Texas, but I'm a bit fond of the place. :)

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
