The WORX WG745 is a compact cordless push mower that sits between very narrow small-yard machines and full-size 21-inch mowers. It has a 17-inch deck, but the manual specifies a 16-inch cutting diameter. That distinction helps explain its place in a realistic size comparison.
Configuration covered in this review
40V MAX system using two 20V batteries; brushless motor; 17-inch deck and 16-inch cutting diameter; mulching or bagging; six height positions from 1.5 to 4 inches.

Who this mower suits
The WG745 is most interesting when you want a compact mower without dropping to the narrower WG779. A smaller footprint can make a short route around beds less cumbersome. It also means more passes over a broad lawn, so balance handling space against the amount of grass you actually mow.
The tradeoffs to consider
Coverage claims differ: the Amazon listing describes up to a quarter acre, while the WORX US product page describes up to an eighth acre. We would use the more conservative expectation and avoid promising either figure for your lawn. This discrepancy is a reason to leave battery reserve rather than treating the larger number as a guarantee.
Battery, setup and ownership details
The reviewed Amazon listing specifies two 20V 4Ah batteries. The mower uses the pair together; this is not one working pack plus a spare. IntelliCut adjusts cutting speed to grass conditions, but we have not measured its effect on runtime. Check charger inclusion in the selected offer and plan storage for the mower and both packs.

Frequently asked questions
Is the WG745 a 17-inch or 16-inch mower?
Both numbers appear because they describe different measurements: the deck is 17 inches, while the manual lists a 16-inch cutting diameter.
How should I compare the total cost?
Check the exact equipment supplied, delivery charge and seller terms. Budget for the compatible batteries and charger you need, or an appropriate cord for a corded model. Our mower parts, battery and charger guide explains what to match.
What if I have around half an acre?
Start with the actual grass area, then allow for obstacles, grass conditions and charging breaks. A compact format can add substantial mowing time. Use our half-acre mower comparison to weigh the alternatives.
