Re: 16" or 17" Battery Powered Seems Perfect But Worry About Height of Cut Grass

Actually, the recharge time for the 17" WORX is twice as long as the 14" WORK, because the battery capacity is twice as much, but the same charger is used for both models. Also, the larger mower is nearly 20 lbs heavier and its battery is about 10 lbs heavier. Finally, the larger mower will require a lot more space in your garage for storage, since it is much longer and its handle bar does not fold fully flat. Still, the 17" does have some nice features lacking in the 14" model, such as a single lever wheel height adjustment, handle bar height adjustment and larger wheels. In the end of the day, you should get what makes you happy, regardless of other people's recommendations.

Didn't realize it was that much heavier. Seems like there's no perfect solution. The other comparable sized cordless mowers are lighter since they don't use the lead batteries but don't have the same maximum height cut settings as on this machine.

Hopefully it's not heavier than my current 10 year old 21" gas mower.
