The Push Mower WG779E is a 36V (40V max) cordless rotary lawn mower from WORX. It weighs just 11.1kg and cuts a 30cm wide path, making it a good fit for small to mid-size lawns up to 280m².
It runs on two 20V PowerShare batteries combined to give 40V power. The Intellicut Technology automatically ramps up power when grass gets thicker, then dials back down to save battery when it doesn't need as much force. Cutting height adjusts from 20mm to 70mm across 5 positions, using one simple lever.
A 30 litre grass bag collects clippings so you empty it less often. The handle folds flat for storage. The cut-to-edge design gets the blade closer to fences and borders, leaving less grass uncut along the edges.
The mower runs on two 20V PowerShare batteries used together as a 36V (40V MAX) system, each rated at 2.5Ah. WORX lists an average battery life of around 2 hours per charge. In practice results vary a fair bit. Several reviewers managed a full lawn on one charge, with one person cutting their lawn twice before needing to recharge. Others with larger plots, including a third-acre garden, needed 2 to 3 charges to finish the job. Lawn size, grass thickness and how fast you push the mower all affect the result. The dual port charger charges both batteries at once in 2 hours, or a single battery in just 1 hour, so topping up between sessions is quick.
The cutting width is 30cm, which suits smaller to mid-size lawns well. Cutting height adjusts between 20mm and 70mm across 5 positions with 6 adjustment increments. Changing height is done with a single lever, so you don't need tools or guesswork. One reviewer called this feature "easy to adjust... with just a simple lever." That said, a few buyers felt the lowest setting still wasn't quite low enough for a very tight cut, so keep that in mind if you prefer a close-shaved lawn.
The grass bag holds 30 litres, which is a decent size for a mower this compact. Reviewers note the bin "holds plenty and is easy to empty," meaning fewer stops to clear clippings during a mowing session. For a smaller garden this capacity should comfortably see you through a full cut without needing to empty it halfway through.
Yes. It runs on the WORX PowerShare system, so the same 20V batteries work across all compatible WORX 20V and 40V tools. This means if you already own other PowerShare tools, you can share batteries between them rather than buying separate ones for each device. The dual port charger also works with any 20V PowerShare battery, not just the two supplied with the mower, which adds flexibility if you're building up a collection of WORX garden tools over time.
It weighs 11.1kg, which keeps it light enough to lift and manoeuvre without strain. Dimensions are 128cm deep, 38cm wide and 96cm tall when fully assembled. The handle folds down flat, cutting the footprint considerably for storage in a shed or garage. One reviewer mentioned they don't usually bother folding it since it already fits where they keep it, but the option is there if space is tight.
Intellicut Technology automatically adjusts motor power based on grass thickness. When the mower hits a thicker patch it increases power to maintain the cut, then dials back down once the grass gets easier again. This happens on its own, with no manual switch needed. The benefit is twofold: it keeps cutting consistent across uneven lawns and it conserves battery by not running at full power unnecessarily. This matters a lot given battery life is one of the more variable factors reported by owners.
WORX states a cutting area of up to 280 square metres on a full charge, though real-world feedback suggests this is best treated as an upper estimate rather than a guarantee. Reviews from people with smaller lawns, around one to three sections, report completing the job on a single charge or two. One buyer with a third-acre plot needed 2 to 3 charges to get through it all. If your lawn is on the larger side, it's worth having spare charged batteries ready, or planning for a short recharge midway through.
A few reviewers describe the mower as "surprisingly noisy" during use, which is worth noting if you're mowing early morning or near neighbours. On cutting performance, feedback is mostly positive for regularly maintained short grass, with comments like "cuts well with no cables to mess with." However, one reviewer wasn't certain how it would handle longer grass, such as the first cut after winter, since their experience was limited to shorter, well-kept lawns. If your grass tends to grow long between cuts, mowing more frequently will likely get the best results from this model.
