The WORX WG779E.2 Cordless Battery lawn mower is one of the best selling cordless lawn mowers in the UK, but just how good is it?

The WG779E.2 is a relatively new kid on the block (2018) and was introduced to replace the 40v WG776E. The main difference is it uses two 20v batteries simultaneously as opposed to the one 40v. Why? well because WORX wanted to standardise batteries across their range of cordless garden tools.

The WORX WG779E.2 mower is indeed packed with features found in more higher end cordless mowers and certainly has the ability to cut a lawn up to 400 meter square (roughly the size of a tennis court and a half) , but it needs to be compared to it’s nearest rival, the Flymo Mighti-Mo 300, to judge how good this mower really is.

In this video I’ll be detailing all the features and functions of the WORX WG779E.2, both good and not so good so you understand exactly what you’re getting for your money.

Main Features:

Rating: 9.4/10
Covers areas reaching 350 m² (3,500 FT²) in size
40V (2X20V), 2Ah Li-on battery lawnmower
Blade length: 34 cm (13″)
Number of Cutting Height: 6 (20mm-70mm) (3/4 inch – 2.75 inch)
Grass box capacity: 30 L (0.85 BUSHELS)
Charge time: 120 minutes
Free run time: 35 minutes

Conclusion
Overall this is a very good mower, I actually rate it higher than the Spear & Jackson 37cm Cordless Rotary Lawnmower due to it’s light weight, portability and fantastic build quality.

The extra features like the removable safety key is a nice touch but one that you most probably never use, besides you want features that will help achieve a lovely looking lawn with least amount of work and effort.

Taking the decision to split the batteries into 2 x 20v was a great idea, especially if you use other WORX cordless tools as they are interchangeable.

The WG779E.2 is very proficient at cutting varying lengths and thickness for such a small and compact cordless mower. It’s worth mentioning that by cutting more regularly and avoiding very long or wet grass this should avoid not putting too much strain on the battery. Remember to always keep the battery charged and in a dry place over winter.

With this mower you’re getting features normally found in high priced mowers, so this is a very reasonable price at under £200.

But do I think it’s better than its closest competitors?

Yes I do!

At this price range (less than £200) this really gives great value for money and you would be very hard pressed to find a cordless mower that performs this well, and has such a good build quality for this price.

Overall I think this is a fantastic mower and I encourage everyone with a lawn 350 m² or less to purchase one. In fact I think it’s the best mower at this level you can get right now!

Fantastic video with up-close detail on the mower parts, much appreciated!

[ThommySides]

You have the best review on this machine. Thanks too for showing us how well it cuts the tall grass. Cheers from South Africa!

My lawn currently looks like the park. Excellent review thank you.

[MelodyHopkins]

Thank you for your very thorough review of the features and assembly instructions. Good job!

[damoneymaker]

I will definitely buy this electric mower because of your demonstration.

[andyrobertson]

Found this video very very helpful, shall now buy a WORX but the wg749e as it's self propelled and larger cut give this video thumbs UP

[laurice]

Excellent review! I’m very impressed with how well this mower performed on the tall, sturdy grass in the field! I prefer to leave my clippings on the lawn. Therefore, a bagless option with a side discharge and mulcher would be awesome. Otherwise this is a Great value. Thanks for sharing.

Vidéo top&merci pour ces bonnes explications, je viens d'acheter le même modèle, pas encore déballer me réjouis de voir le résultat de mon jardin une fois tondue👍🏻💪

[SadaajitAnanda]

Thanks for showing it working on long grass. We live in the country and our grass grows very irregularly. Having work both on shorter and longer grass would be a big plus.

[Phullbrick]

Very useful review. I was looking into electric mower as my thermic just broke down. I'm already owning Worx equipment so I've got 2 spare batteries to be used with this WG779. I belive I need to to decide to move to this technology and forget thermal mower once for good ! Thank you !

[coffeeguy]

Great review, thanks, Mark. I've ordered one from Amazon as I'm fed up with getting the hump watching out for and having to move the power cord around on our old Bosch mower. I've also ordered 2 Dsanke 5.0ah 20v batteries so can have 2 on charge or charged ready . Cheers again, Daz, Leicester.

Very thorough, thank you. Would like to see the landscaper's reaction at your local park!

[Mirecsooor]

perfect review ! thanks, just thinking to buy 1x, my garden is roughly 35-40 sqm should be easy :) thanks again

[simonlovell]

This is a great help was looking at one of these today with the strimmer included in argos clearance at £89.99 but wanted to see reviews first. Hope they haven't sold out. Defiantly be going back tomorrow to grab one. Thank you once again.

I just bought one of these and assembled it. I like the slowimg down at key areas. The only way this video could have been improved is by showing the handle being snapped into place on the grass box and the grass box itself being attached.

Worx are a great brand and over the years i stared with the worx hydro shot and its a great power washer for washing the car and bike and even the house windows to the point i have had neighbors ask to use it, then a little later i got a works hedge trimmer and both have worked flawlessly and for lawn care i used to use a Mculluch petrol trimmer and a super old but reliable 30 year old petrol flymo hover mower, but replaced the trimmer with a Worx WG163E.1 Trimmer and it has been fantastic and just today i took delivery of the worx WG743E.1 40cm lawnmower that comes with 2 4.0ah battery's, so I am hopeful that this will replace my old petrol flymo. I love how with worx all the battery's are interchangeable and quality has never let me down, my only concern for the lawn mower is still run time but i will have to wait for a non rainy day to actually test

[randycole]

Thanks for showing how the mower did with the high grass

[motorbikemadness]

Excellent review, thank you! Just bought and received the Worx WG743. Haven't used it yet (charging batteries).

[johnbarber]

It’s s perfect mower I cut grass and obviously petrol mowers are more powerful and I use on my customers lawns but for my lawn which I cut more often it’s perfect I use the power share batteries on all my tools from, angle grinder to strimmer, leaf blower .drills etc batteries are amazing I used to fit furniture for a living and my worx drill I had in 2015 batteries are still good and I used that every day .
Lawn mower great price I was using a mighty mo by Flymo and when that battery let me down after 3 years A I found it hard to replace and the battery is as expensive as the mower

[davidwang]

Great demo! Thanks ! One question, the model WG744E.9 40cm lawn mower what ‘s the difference apart from the size? The cutting heights and the power of the battery ?
