Worx Battery Operated Grass Trimmer

The worst part of yard work isn’t mowing. It’s the trimmer. Tangled line, a spool that feeds when it feels like it, and that familiar pull-cord burn. A Worx battery operated grass trimmer takes most of that frustration away.

Worx builds its cordless trimmers on the PowerShare battery platform, so one battery can power a trimmer, blower, shears, and dozens of other garden tools. The right model comes down to yard size, how much you edge, and whether you need extra tools. A compact 10-inch 20V trimmer suits small spaces; the 40V 13-inch model cuts a wider path and runs longer.

These five picks cover the range: a lightweight 20V trimmer/edger, a trimmer-and-blower kit, a more powerful 40V model, a larger 20V trimmer with a tilting shaft, and a compact grass shear set for detail work. All use the same battery family, so your investment carries over to future tools.

Here’s a quick look at how the five picks compare on the specs that actually drive the buying decision.

Worx 20V 10u2033 2-in-1 Trimmer

The Worx WG154 is the entry point into cordless trimming. It’s a 20V 10-inch 2-in-1 trimmer and edger that weighs just 4.2 pounds, so it feels more like a garden tool than a piece of heavy machinery.

This model suits anyone with a small to medium yard who wants one tool for two jobs. Rotate the head 180 degrees and you can edge sidewalks, driveways, and garden borders without crouching down. The auto-feed line system advances string automatically, so you won’t have to bump the head or stop to pull line by hand. Another nice touch: the adjustable flower guard protects plants and landscape features while you trim close to edges.

The trade-off is the 10-inch cutting swath. On a bigger lawn, you’ll make more passes to cover the same ground. The 20V motor handles normal grass fine, but it’s not built for thick weeds or overgrown patches. The switch from trimmer to edger takes a few seconds to get used to, mainly because you have to be deliberate about the head angle.

• 4.2-pound total weight, easy to carry and control
• 10-inch cutting swath for routine trimming
• 2-in-1 head rotates 180 degrees for edging
• Auto-feed line system reduces interruptions
• Adjustable flower guard protects plants and ornaments

Best for: A first-time cordless trimmer owner with a modest yard who wants one lightweight tool for both trimming and edging.

WORX 20V 12u2033 Trimmer Blower

This kit bundles a 12-inch cordless trimmer/edger with a 360 CFM leaf blower, two batteries, and a quick charger. If your lawn routine involves trimming the edges and then blowing clippings off the patio, this setup gets both jobs done with one battery platform.

The trimmer converts to an edger with a pivot of the head, and the Command Feed system gives you fresh line at the push of a button. No bumping, no guessing. The blower uses turbine-style fan design to move 360 cubic feet of air per minute at 75 mph, which is plenty for clearing grass clippings, leaves, and light debris from hard surfaces. Both tools stay light: the trimmer weighs 5.3 pounds and the blower comes in at 4.4 pounds with the battery attached.

The obvious limitation is that you’re buying two tools, which means more storage and more pieces to keep track of. The 12-inch cut is a middle ground, not a time-saver on a large lawn. And while the blower is strong for its size, it’s not a heavy-duty leaf vac for deep wet piles.

• 12-inch trimmer/edger plus 360 CFM blower
• Two PowerShare batteries and a quick charger included
• Push-button Command Feed keeps line ready
• Trimmer weighs 5.3 lbs; blower weighs 4.4 lbs with battery
• Turbine fan design creates a wide, steady air stream

Best for: Homeowners who want a trimmer and a blower that share batteries, without buying separate chargers or systems.

Worx 40V 13u2033 Cordless Trimmer

The WG183 steps up to 40V for people who need more muscle. It uses a 13-inch cutting swath, the widest of the trimmer picks here, and runs on Worx’s PowerShare battery system. This is the one to reach for when you have a larger yard and don’t want to recharge mid-job.

The dual-exit cutting head improves efficiency by feeding line from two sides, so you’re not chasing the same patch of grass repeatedly. The automatic-feed spool keeps line advancing without bumping, which matters when you’re working along a long fence line or a big driveway. The adjustable auxiliary handle lets you set a comfortable grip, and the streamlined design keeps the whole tool easy to guide.

Nothing here turns this into an edger. If you need to cut clean edges along concrete or flower beds, this model doesn’t have the pivot head that the 20V trimmers offer. It’s also a bit more tool than necessary for a tiny city yard, where the extra runtime and wider cut won’t make much practical difference.

• 40V PowerShare battery for longer runtime
• 13-inch cutting swath covers ground faster
• Dual-exit cutting head feeds line from both sides
• Automatic-feed spool system
• Adjustable auxiliary handle for a custom grip

Best for: A homeowner with a larger lawn who wants more runtime and a wider cut, and doesn’t need trimmer-to-edger conversion.

Worx 20V 12u2033 Trimmer Edger

The WG163.9 is the configurable option in this lineup. It’s a 20V 12-inch trimmer that converts to an edger, but it adds features the smaller model doesn’t have: a telescopic shaft, an adjustable handle, rubberized twin wheels for edging support, and a shaft that tilts 90 degrees for slopes and hard-to-reach areas.

That tilting shaft is the standout. When you’re trimming along a sloped bank or under a low hedge, you can angle the cutting head instead of contorting your body. The Command Feed spool gives you instant line at the push of a button, and the twin wheels guide the head along sidewalks and driveways when you switch to edging mode. The telescopic shaft also makes a real difference if you’re tall or short, because you can set the length to match your posture instead of hunching over.

The extra adjustability adds a little complexity. There are more joints and moving parts to fiddle with than on a fixed-shaft trimmer, and the 20V motor still tops out at routine grass duty. If you never edge, you’re paying for features you won’t use.

• Telescopic shaft adjusts to user’s height
• 90-degree tilting shaft for slopes and tight spots
• Rubberized twin wheels support edging
• Command Feed spool for instant line
• 12-inch cutting swath

Best for: A homeowner who edges regularly and struggles with slopes, uneven ground, or a trimmer that doesn’t fit their height.

WORX 20V Grass Shear Trimmer

This is the detail tool. The WG801 is a 20V hand-held grass shear and shrub trimmer that comes with a 4-inch grass shear blade and an 8-inch shrub blade. It’s not a string trimmer at all, but it solves the problems a string trimmer can’t: precise edging around flower beds, tight corners, and small shrubs.

The swap between blades takes seconds, and the same battery powers it. That matters if you already own other 20V Worx tools, because you don’t need another charger or a separate battery system. The included sheath guard protects the blade during storage, so it stays sharp longer.

Don’t expect this to replace a full-size trimmer. The cutting width is small, and you’ll work slowly over any decent stretch of lawn. It’s a finish tool, not a main tool. For anyone who spends more time pruning ornamental shrubs than trimming turf, it earns its place in the shed.

• 4-inch grass shear blade included
• 8-inch shrub blade included
• 2-in-1 function with quick blade change
• Sheath guard protects blade in storage
• Same 20V PowerShare battery family

Best for: Gardeners who need precise hand-held trimming around beds, borders, and shrubs rather than open lawn.

How We Chose These Products

We started with the jobs a cordless trimmer actually has to do: cut grass along edges, reach awkward spots, and not drain your energy before the yard is done. From there we looked for models that cover different yard sizes and different ways of working, rather than five near-identical tools.

Battery compatibility mattered too. Every pick here uses the Worx PowerShare system, so buyers can add other Worx tools without locking into a new battery platform. We also weighed weight, line feed method, and whether a model converts to an edger, because those features shape how convenient a trimmer feels in daily use.

Buying Guide: What Really Matters

Cutting width is the first number to look at. A 10-inch trimmer is fine for small lots and light maintenance. A 12-inch model balances speed and maneuverability. A 13-inch trimmer covers more ground per pass, which saves time on a larger lawn but can feel bulkier in tight corners.

Battery voltage separates the light-duty tools from the longer-running ones. The 20V trimmers are lighter and easier to handle, but the 40V model gives you more runtime and a wider cut. If your yard takes more than 30 minutes to trim, lean toward 40V or check whether the kit includes a second battery.

Line feed matters more than most people expect. Automatic feed systems keep the line moving without bumping the head. Push-button Command Feed gives you control on demand. Both are better than the old bump-and-hope approach, but think about which fits your habits. And if you edge your driveway or sidewalk regularly, choose a model that converts to an edger or has a tilting head.

Our Top Recommendation

The Worx 20V 12u2033 Trimmer Edger is the most complete package for most homeowners. Its 12-inch cut handles normal yards well, the Command Feed spool keeps line ready, and the telescopic shaft plus twin wheels make edging genuinely easier. The same features also make it a good fit for people with slopes or uneven ground, which is exactly where cheap trimmers fall apart.

If you want the simplest, lightest option for a small yard, the Worx 20V 10u2033 2-in-1 is an easy pick. If you need more cutting power and less charging time, go with the Worx 40V 13u2033 Cordless Trimmer. For detail work around shrubs and flower beds, the WORX 20V Grass Shear Trimmer is a smart add-on. Whichever one you land on, check the current price on Amazon before you buy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Worx trimmer is best for edging driveways and sidewalks?

The Worx 20V 12u2033 Trimmer Edger is the strongest choice because it has rubberized twin wheels and a 90-degree tilting shaft. The 10-inch 2-in-1
