WORX Electric Lawn Edger, 12 Amp 7.5" Trencher for Lawn Landscaping, WG896

This WORX 12 Amp Electric Lawn Edger did exactly what I needed it to do. It was easy to use, had plenty of power for cleaning up the edges around my driveway and sidewalk, and gave the yard a much cleaner, finished look. I like that it is corded because I do not have to worry about batteries dying, and it has enough power for regular homeowner use.The first pass took a little extra time since the edges needed cleaned up, but once I got going, it worked great. Overall, this is a solid edger/trencher for the price, and I would definitely recommend it for anyone wanting cleaner lawn edges without dealing with gas.

I LOVE the look of an edged sidewalk. After a few calls to some local landscape companies, I couldn't find anyone with an edger. Crazy! So I bought myself this one! Super easy to put together and just as easy to use. My walk hasn't been edged for many years and was very overgrown. I was nervous that I wouldn't be able to run this thing, but this little work horse did the job for me and did it perfectly. It will be super easy to keep it edged now. Extremely happy with this purchase.

This is a decent product. If you are going to do a lot of edging, or want to do deep trenching to run conduit, etc. this is NOT the product you want. It is electric, so you are tethered to an outlet, and of course, the farther you go on extension cords, the less of the 12 amp juice you get. It also trenches to 1 1/2", which is OK, but not enough to dump conduit, etc.That said, this is a very good edger. Out of the box, it is minimal assembly. You connect the three pieces of the shaft, removing some edge tape from it, and inserting two metal bolts and plastic knobs, similar to most lawn mowers these days. Then you install the plastic handle with another bolt. That's it.For use, you have a lever which you pull up for edging and lower for trenching to adjust the group clearance. You also choose 1", 1/4", or 1 1/2" depth. Then you plug it in.There is a white line on top of the blade cover so you know where the blade is. You just pull the trigger to run the blade, or release the trigger to stop the blade.Be careful not to lose sight of your electric cord so you don't hit it!I edged along my driveway, about 50' on each side, as well as my front of my lawn, so another 85' along the lawn and the apron (both sides). That's over 350'. It cut through the grass and dirt easily. It struggled a couple of times, on some tough mounds of grass, but like any other tool, you don't force it when that happens, just back up and do that area again slowly.If you come too close to blacktop, Belgian block, stone, etc. you will see sparks so you will know.Just keep in mind, this is an edger. You will be left with the severed grass/sod to remove. In my case I was loooong overdue for a edging, so I spent a long time scraping the sod off the pavement with a shovel. I expect with more frequent ending, and now working with a cleaner edge, this will be less of an issue. Either way, that is not on the product, but the state of the lawn.The edger has 2 read wheels and one smaller front wheel so , although this is not like a big, gas-powered curb jumping unit, you have the option of attacking a curb edge from either the blade side or other side of the edger, so you can get real close to a Belgian block curb.I also did the edge where my grass meets my mulched flower bed, but that was more of a trimming than a edge removal.Overall, the Work edger did as good, or better, a job than my string trimmer, and I didn't have to stop every few minutes to rewrap string. Plus it trenched enough to give me a definitive edge, whereas the string edger just cuts into the grass, not a real trench.

This edger works great. Our driveway hadn’t been edged in years. There was grass growing over onto the driveway by about 18” in some areas. This little edger handled it nicely. It is super easy to operate. The only assembly was the handle and that just took a few minutes. Other than that it was ready to use right out of the box. I would highly recommend it especially if you want an easy to use and powerful edger.

I currently own one of these and works very well for both trenching and as an edger. Its not to heavy and definitely made well. Not to loud and very versatile. The instructions explain it all. No battery Charging, but just a 100 foot extension cord will get the job done. I would buy it again also.

Great edger! Easy assembly, easy using. Works very well.Very happy with my purchase!

Works great! Weed eaters are fine, this is better. Nice sharp edges, no battery to run down, light weight and beautiful results.

I recently purchased the WORX WG896 12 Amp 7.5" Electric Lawn Edger & Trencher to tackle the task of maintaining my lawn's edges and creating neat trenches. Having used it extensively over the past few months, I must say that this machine offers great power and versatility. In this detailed review, I'll provide an honest and unbiased account of my experience, covering key points and offering helpful tips for potential buyers.Design and Build Quality:The WG896 boasts a well-thought-out design that is both ergonomic and sturdy. The handle is comfortable to grip, allowing for extended periods of use without causing strain. The construction of the edger is robust, ensuring durability even when encountering tough soil or roots. It feels like a high-quality product that will last for years to come.Powerful Performance:Equipped with a 12 Amp motor, this edger packs a punch. It effortlessly cuts through grass, overgrown weeds, and even stubborn roots, leaving clean and precise edges. The blade's 7.5-inch diameter is ideal for maintaining straight lines and crisp borders. I was impressed by its ability to handle various terrains, including sloped areas, without losing power or creating uneven edges. It's worth noting that the trenching function is equally impressive, allowing me to create defined trenches for irrigation or landscape projects.Ease of Use:One of the standout features of the WG896 is its user-friendly design. Assembly was a breeze, requiring minimal effort and no additional tools. The adjustable handle height caters to users of different heights, ensuring a comfortable operating position. The edger's lightweight nature makes it easy to maneuver around tight corners and along uneven terrain. Furthermore, the blade depth adjustment mechanism is straightforward and enables precise control over the cutting depth.Versatility:The WORX WG896 truly shines when it comes to its versatility. It serves as both a lawn edger and a trencher, eliminating the need for separate tools. The quick-release lever allows for seamless conversion between the two functions, saving time and effort. Whether you need to create well-defined edges along your driveway or dig trenches for cables or landscape lighting, this tool has you covered. The ability to tackle multiple tasks with a single device makes it an excellent investment for homeowners.Safety Features:WORX has taken safety seriously with the WG896. The built-in blade guard provides reliable protection, preventing accidental contact with the sharp blade.

These features offer peace of mind while working with this powerful tool.Maintenance and Durability:Maintaining the WG896 is hassle-free. The blade can be easily removed for cleaning and sharpening, ensuring consistent performance over time. The overall build quality instills confidence in the tool's durability. However, it is worth mentioning that regular cleaning and lubrication are essential to prevent clogging and ensure smooth operation.Noise and Vibration:One drawback I noticed with the WG896 is its noise level. As with most electric-powered tools, it produces a fair amount of noise during operation. Although not excessive, it may be a consideration for those who have noise restrictions in their area. Additionally, some minor vibrations can be felt while using the tool, but they are not significant enough to cause discomfort or impact performance.Price and Value for Money:Considering the performance and versatility offered by the WG896, it provides excellent value for the price. While it may be slightly higher priced than some competitors, its durability and reliability make it a worthwhile investment. With this tool, you get the benefits of both a high-quality lawn edger and a trencher, saving money and storage space in the long run.Conclusion:In conclusion, the WORX WG896 12 Amp 7.5" Electric Lawn Edger & Trencher has proven to be a powerful and versatile tool that exceeded my expectations. Its sturdy construction, powerful performance, ease of use, and dual functionality make it an excellent choice for homeowners looking to achieve clean and professional-looking lawn edges and trenches. With minor considerations regarding noise and vibration, the WG896 is a reliable companion for maintaining a well-groomed lawn.
