Volunteer testers report on their test use of the 18-volt Worx GT WG150 cordless trimmer, giving it high marks overall. However, the write-up isn't very detailed: It's just a summary of the trimmer's features and a couple of comments from users. It's also not clear just how reliable these comments are, since the manufacturer supplies the products to be tested, and only one product on the site receives less than 8 points out of 10 from users.
