Self-Propelled Worx WG761 Combines Innovation and Efficiency
Worx has officially entered the high-voltage lawn mower market with the release of the Worx Nitro 80V, a 21-inch self-propelled model designed to challenge traditional gas-powered mowers. This cordless mower introduces the Power Share battery system, offering cross-compatibility with Worx’s 20V, 40V, and 80V Nitro landscape tools.
But the critical question remains: Can it truly replace a gas mower? After rigorous testing, the answer is a resounding yes.
Performance: Power Meets Precision
The Worx Nitro 80V delivers impressive performance with a 21-inch steel deck, a 20-inch cutting width, and a rear-wheel-drive system for enhanced maneuverability. Its Intellicut technology automatically adjusts torque based on grass thickness, optimizing battery life and extending runtime to 47 minutes and 27 seconds—enough to handle lawns up to half an acre.
Starting the mower is effortless, thanks to an electric ignition system that eliminates the hassle of pull-starting. The variable speed control allows users to match the mower’s pace to their walking speed, while the quick-change lever seamlessly switches between bagging and mulching modes—no mulch plug required.
During testing, the mower efficiently tackled tough grasses like St. Augustine, Floratam, Bahia Grass, and weeds, delivering a clean, consistent 1.5-inch cut. The 2-bushel bagging capacity ensures minimal interruptions for disposal.
Design: Built for Durability and Convenience
The Worx WG761 features a brushless motor, powered by four 20V (5.0Ah) batteries combined in a 4-port charger/power supply, making it significantly more robust than lighter models like the Worx 40V 17-inch mower. Key design highlights include:
- Single-point deck height adjustment (1.5 to 4 inches)
- Collapsible handle for compact vertical storage
- Steel deck construction for long-term durability
Pricing and Warranty
The Worx Nitro 80V lawn mower kit is priced at $782.35, including four 20V 5.0Ah batteries and a Power Share charger. Worx supports the product with a 5-year limited warranty, ensuring peace of mind for buyers.
Conclusion
With its powerful performance, intelligent features, and gas-free convenience, the Worx Nitro 80V stands as a compelling alternative to traditional gas mowers. For homeowners seeking an efficient, eco-friendly solution this mowing season, this model is a strong contender.
