WORX Cordless Lawn Mower, 40V 14" 2-in-1 Grass Mower for 1/8 Acre, WG779

The WORX WG779 40V Cordless Lawn Mower is a battery-driven walk-behind mower engineered for small suburban yards and urban green spaces up to one-eighth of an acre. For property owners seeking an alternative to gas cans, spark plugs, and pull-cords, this unit delivers push-button electric operation powered by two removable 20V 4.0Ah batteries. Together, the paired packs generate 40V of cutting power while sharing complete battery compatibility with the broader WORX PowerShare tool ecosystem.

Daily cutting performance centers on patented Intellicut sensor technology. As you guide the mower through your yard, internal sensors detect the density and thickness of the turf. When encountering dense patches, the system automatically ramps up blade speed to maintain an even cut without stalling, then dials motor output back down in lighter grass to conserve battery power. The 14-inch cutting deck adjusts rapidly using a single lever that shifts through six distinct cutting heights between 1.5 inches and 3.5 inches, giving you precise control over lawn height across changing seasons.

At just under 30 pounds, the mower maneuvers easily around tight landscaping corners and up modest yard inclines. Operating it requires only pressing a button and pulling the bail handle. You can toggle between two grass disposal methods: clip the included mulch plug into place to feed finely chopped grass back into the soil, or attach the 0.85-bushel collection bag to gather clippings. The bag includes an integrated full-bag indicator to eliminate guesswork, while an onboard battery monitor tracks remaining charge. Operating at 87.8 decibels, the mower maintains a quiet sound profile that keeps neighborhood disturbance to a minimum.

The compact design introduces clear practical trade-offs. The 14-inch deck width means you will need to walk noticeably more passes to cover your yard compared to larger commercial walk-behinds. In addition, total runtime is engineered for properties up to one-eighth of an acre, meaning owners of medium or large yards will run out of power before finishing. The 0.85-bushel collection bag is also on the smaller side and will require frequent stops to empty if cutting overgrown grass.

Verdict: The WORX WG779 is a reliable, lightweight mowing solution designed for city lots, patio homes, and properties measuring one-eighth acre or less. If your lawn is small and you want to bypass gas upkeep with an agile, quiet, easy-to-store electric mower, this model is a very sensible choice.

A great fit if you:

• Maintain a compact urban lot, townhouse yard, or patio lawn measuring up to one-eighth of an acre.
• Need a lightweight machine weighing under 30 pounds that is simple to push uphill, carry by hand, and store in tight quarters.
• Already use or plan to collect cordless equipment from the WORX PowerShare platform of over 140 tools.
• Prioritize quiet yard equipment that runs at an 87.8-decibel level to avoid disturbing family and close neighbors.

Consider something else if you:

• Need to mow a property larger than one-eighth of an acre on a single session without swapping or waiting on batteries.
• Prefer a wide-deck walk-behind mower that minimizes walking time across broad, open expanses of turf.

Confirm on the listing:

• Check your lawn dimensions to verify that your total mowable grass falls within the recommended one-eighth acre rating.
• Measure your shed, storage closet, or trunk space to ensure the mower fits comfortably when the handle is fully collapsed.
• Check whether you own existing tools from the WORX PowerShare family that can utilize the included 20V 4.0Ah batteries.
• Verify that your package arrives complete with all listed items: mower, two batteries, dual charger, mulch plug, and grass bag.

How to compare your options: When evaluating cordless mowers, consider deck size, machine weight, and battery architecture. A 14-inch deck mower that weighs under 30 pounds excels at negotiating narrow paths and tight gates, whereas wider mowers cut faster but demand more storage space and effort to push. Look for versatile power ecosystems and dual-port charging capabilities to ensure your equipment fits seamlessly into your routine.

Read the included manufacturer documentation before initial assembly to understand the starting sequence, handle folding mechanisms, and basic maintenance guidelines. Always plug both 20V 4.0Ah batteries into the included dual charger at the same time so both packs enter the mower with matching power levels.

Decide whether you want to mulch or collect clippings before you start mowing. Insert the mulch plug securely into the rear chute to redistribute finely cut nutrients back to your lawn, or snap on the 0.85-bushel collection bag and monitor the built-in flap indicator to know precisely when to dump clippings.

Adjust the single deck lever between 1.5 inches and 3.5 inches depending on the condition of your grass so the Intellicut sensor can balance motor power and battery efficiency effectively. After finishing, check the onboard battery indicator, wipe down the deck following the user guide, collapse the handle, and use the built-in carry handle for easy storage.

How does the power supply work on this mower?
