The WORX WG779 makes sense for a genuinely small mowing job where a narrow mower is useful around corners and tight spaces. Its 14-inch deck is the main attraction and the main compromise. It is a cordless push mower, not a substitute for powered travel on a demanding route.
Configuration covered in this review
40V MAX system using two 20V 4Ah packs; 14-inch deck; six height settings from 1.5 to 3.5 inches; mulching or bagging; dual charger in the reviewed listing.

Who this mower suits
Choose this size for small patches rather than because it appears easier in every situation. A narrow deck needs more passes over open grass. The small collection bag also means more emptying if you regularly bag clippings. A compact mower can be a good purchase even when it takes longer, if storage and maneuvering space are the limiting factors.
The tradeoffs to consider
WORX advertises coverage up to an eighth acre for the linked kit. That does not account for every lawn condition, and our team has not verified the figure in use. If your mowable area is near that limit, compare the WG745 and larger options before committing. Make sure the maximum 3.5-inch height suits your lawn.
Battery, setup and ownership details
Both supplied packs work together to power the mower. Do not count the second battery as a spare for a second mowing session. PowerShare compatibility may be helpful if you already own matching WORX tools, but check the exact pack requirements. A spare operating set and its charging time can change the economics of a cheap-looking kit.

Frequently asked questions
Does the WG779 use one battery at a time?
No. It uses two compatible 20V packs together for its 40V MAX system. The included pair is the operating set.
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.
