The Worx WG779E is one of the brand's smaller lawn mowers, but has been designed to deal with yards up to an eighth of an acre. Like all cordless models, the lawn size limit is not only set by the cutting width — which is 14 inches in this case — but also the battery life. And, the advertised battery life here is certainly not disappointing. With two 20V, 4.0 Ah batteries in use, the mower can work for nearly an hour if set to eco-mode.
As well as the usual advantages of a cordless mower over noisy and smelly (and polluting) gas, the Worx WG779E positions itself as the best lawn mower for those with small to medium gardens, wanting something that is simple to use. At the same time, it includes features that lawncare enthusiasts love, like a mulching plug to fertilize your lawn and a roller at the back for those eye-pleasing stripes. It sounded like my kind of mow, so if it could also do all this on one charge, I was keen to get to know it better.
