The Worx WG173E Nitro brings a brushless motor to a budget 20V trimmer — unusual at the price, and worth it for the extra durability and efficiency. It converts between trimming and edging and plugs into the big Worx PowerShare ecosystem.
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 durable, easy 3-in-1 lawn tool, provided you already own PowerShare batteries and don't need to cut brush.
Worx WG173E Nitro — frequently asked questions
Why does the brushless motor matter on the WG173E?
A brushless motor lasts longer and runs more efficiently than the brushed motors usual at this price — better durability and runtime for regular lawn work.
Does it come with a battery?
No — the bare tool is around €110, plus a PowerShare battery and charger. It shares batteries with the whole Worx 20V range.
