What the listing confirms
The Amazon.co.uk listing (WG173E.9, without battery and charger) gives a brushless motor, a 33 cm cutting circle with double line, Worx’s Command Feed that feeds line at the push of a button, a head that tilts up to 90° for edging on uneven ground and hard-to-reach areas, and a rubber handle. It lists 6,500 rpm and an item weight of 3.1 kg; it was sold by Amazon when we checked in October 2026.
Who it’s for
PowerShare owners who want a durable, affordable lawn tool. It’s grass-only — for tougher growth, choose a blade machine like the Worx Nitro WG186E.
Verdict
A durable, keenly priced brushless lawn trimmer — great value within the PowerShare platform.
A brushless motor at this price is rare — a capable, easy lawn trimmer and edger, provided you already own PowerShare batteries and don't need to cut brush.
Worx Nitro WG173E.9 — frequently asked questions
Why does the brushless motor matter on the WG173E?
Brushless motors have no carbon brushes to wear and generally run more efficiently than brushed ones, which helps runtime per charge and long-term durability for regular lawn work.
Does it come with a battery?
No — the WG173E.9 is the bare tool, so add a Worx PowerShare 20V MAX battery and charger if you don't have them. Kit versions (WG173E) are also sold.
