EGO ST1400E vs Worx WG183E
Two complete cordless trimmer kits: EGO's 56V ST1400E with a self-winding PowerLoad head, and Worx's 40V WG183E with AutoFeed line on every restart.
In short:Both are line-only cordless trimmer kits with batteries included. The EGO ST1400E is a 56V brushless trimmer with a 35 cm cut, 2.4 mm line, two speeds and a PowerLoad head that winds new line automatically, supplied with a 2.5 Ah battery and charger. The Worx WG183E runs on two 20V PowerShare batteries (40V), cuts 33 cm with dual line and AutoFeed, lists 8,500 rpm and weighs 2.9 kg. Both listings were unavailable on Amazon.co.uk in October 2026.
The EGO ST1400E and Worx WG183E are both complete kits — battery and charger in the box — for lawns, edges and long grass. They differ in how they handle line and which battery platform they tie you to.

Line: two different conveniences
Both spare you the classic bump-and-tap routine, in different ways. The Worx’s AutoFeed extends fresh line each time you release and restart the switch, so you never stop to tap the head. The EGO’s PowerLoad head tackles the other chore: when the spool is empty, you push line through and press a button, and the trimmer winds it on for you. If you hate rewinding spools, the EGO wins; if you hate tapping, both do the job.
Cut and power
The EGO’s 35 cm swath with thicker 2.4 mm line and two speeds suits longer grass and bigger lawns. The Worx’s 33 cm dual-line head and listed 8,500 rpm handle lawns and stubborn weeds comfortably. Neither maker gives a directly comparable power figure, so judge them on cut width, line and how much grass you have.
Batteries
The EGO’s 56V battery fits EGO’s mowers, blowers and chainsaws; the Worx’s 20V MAX packs fit the whole Worx PowerShare range, and its 40V tools use two at once. The Worx kit gives you two batteries; the EGO kit one larger-voltage pack.
Which should you buy?
For bigger lawns and the convenience of never hand-winding line, choose the EGO ST1400E. If you’re already on Worx PowerShare, or want two batteries in the box, the Worx WG183E is the sensible pick. Both listings were unavailable on Amazon.co.uk when we checked, so compare prices at UK garden retailers.

Frequently asked questions
Which is more powerful?
Neither maker publishes a directly comparable output figure. The EGO runs on a 56V brushless system with two speeds and 2.4 mm line; the Worx on 40V from two 20V packs with dual line at a listed 8,500 rpm. Both cope with lawns and long grass; neither takes a blade.
Which is easier to reload with line?
The EGO: its PowerLoad head winds new line onto the spool at the press of a button. The Worx feeds line automatically as you work (AutoFeed, on each restart of the switch), but you refill its spool by hand.
Do both include batteries?
Yes. The ST1400E kit has one 56V 2.5 Ah battery and the CH2100E charger; the WG183E kit has two 20V PowerShare batteries and a charger.
Can either cut brambles?
No. Both are line-only grass trimmers. For brambles you need a blade-capable brush cutter.
