Welcome to the WORX WG719 caster wheeled electric lawn mower review! What makes this Worx lawn mower stand out from other electric lawn mowers is that it has a caster wheel design for easier maneuverability.
Some people absolutely LOVE this feature, while other do not. Depending on your needs, however, this could be the perfect fit for you, so stick around and see if it is in this Worx WG719 lawn mower review.
The Worx WG719 electric lawn mower is a world-class mower with exceptional innovative features not commonly found with other mowers. It’s built with a simple design, is very easy to clean, and it can be stored in an upright position on its rear wheels, which saves on storage space
. The mower body is made up of orange, black, and grey parts. The grey part is the steel deck, while the other parts are made of durable plastics. This steel deck ensures durability when put to use on rugged terrains.
Worx Lawn Mower PARTS
The handle of the WG719 has a foam pad for a comfortable, firm grip. It has a start button for ignition after you plug the mower into your main electrical socket. This electric mower helps save you from the pungent smell of gasoline in your yard, making it environmentally friendly as well. You also will not have to keep buying gas to mow your lawn or deal with the loud noise of a regular gas mower.
The caster wheels are provided for ease of movement, but if you don’t like how they move, you can always lock their position so they will only go straight. They give the mower a unique maneuverability to match the contours of your lawn. The Worx WG719’s plastic wheels are evenly treaded for good traction in dry grass (wet grass might be a little more difficult), with 7-inch front wheels and 10-inch rear wheels, with a swivel front axle.
The WG719 is a 3-in-1 lawn mower, meaning that it mulches, bags grass, or you can let the grass discharge off of the side like a regular mower. It boasts a steel cutting deck which has a NutriCut dual-edge mulching blade which offers a very impressive mulching capability. This is a source of humus and helps in moisture retention as well as weed control.
It’s always nice to have different choices of how to collect the grass you cut. Mulching means leaving finely shredded grass clippings on the lawn to fertilize the soil. That way you won’t have to build a compost pile or collect bags of grass, which saves you space AND extra work. But just in case you do want to bag your grass, the bag has a 1.4-bushel carry capacity.
The blades of the WG719 are steel, with 7 adjustable cutting height positions for varying lawn terrains or conditions, ranging from 1.5-4 inches. The cutting path is 19”, which is about the average, maybe a little wider than some mowers. The Worx WG719 mover has a push drive system and is lightweight, making it very easy to control, even on a slope.
POWER
The WG719 does not have a battery, so you will need to buy an extension cord if you don’t already have one. The length of the cord will depend on the size of your yard, of course. The Worx WG719 electric lawn mower is packed with a 13 Amp motor so you will need to make sure the extension cord is at least 13 Amps, since that is what the mower requires.
The power is average for most electric mowers, powerful enough to cut very dense grass. If you want to sometimes rely on a battery instead of using a cord, then you can opt to get a cordless mower instead, which we also have reviews for.
STORAGE/ASSEMBLY For WG719 Worx Lawn Mower
This mower is easy to assemble, and you may not even need the instructions, just do it yourself. For storage, the handle folds in over the mower, creating more room for other things in your garage or shed.
Weight
The mower is a little heavier at 57 pounds but shouldn’t be too much of a problem if you are stronger physically or if you don’t have to lift it to put it in storage. There are other mowers that are lighter, some by about 20 pounds less. You might want to consider that if you have to lift it alone, or you can always have someone help.
Warranty
The Worx WG719 comes with a 3-year warranty for faulty parts, but you might need to register online for the third year of that warranty.
