The complete guide
Choosing a Compact Cordless Mower for Your Garden
A small lawn can still be awkward to mow. There may be flower beds to work around, a narrow route from the shed or a power cable that always seems to be on the wrong side of the garden. A larger mower is not always the most useful answer.
The WORX WG733E is a compact cordless lawn mower built around a 33cm cutting width. It combines a 20V brushless motor with an included 4.0Ah PowerShare battery and a collection bag. The main question is whether that size and battery setup match your lawn, your storage space and the way you prefer to work.
Start with the lawn you actually have
Before comparing motors or battery platforms, look at the area you need to cut. The supplier states that this mower can cover up to 200m² on one charge. That makes it a model to consider for smaller lawns, but the words “up to” matter.
A short, regularly maintained lawn is a different job from thick grass that has been left to grow. Obstacles also affect how you work. A garden with beds, trees and several separate patches may take more turning and repositioning than one open rectangle.
Measure the grass rather than the whole garden. Patios, paths and planted beds do not count towards the mowing area. If your lawn is near the stated coverage limit, leave room in your plans for changing conditions rather than assuming every charge will complete the job.
What cordless power changes
A battery powered lawn mower removes the trailing mains cable from the mowing route. You do not need to keep moving the lead around borders or work out which direction keeps it behind you. There is also no petrol to store or pour into the machine.
The trade-off is that mowing depends on a charged battery. It helps to think about where charging will happen and whether you tend to mow at a planned time or whenever the weather offers a gap.
This listing includes a 20V 4.0Ah battery. Charger inclusion and charging time are not specified. Check both before ordering, especially if this will be your first WORX cordless tool. Having a battery in the box does not, by itself, confirm the full charging setup.
How the brushless motor and IntelliCut work together
The WG733E uses a 20V brushless motor with IntelliCut. The supplier describes IntelliCut as adjusting power to match the grass, increasing output for denser growth and reducing it when the work is lighter.
That is useful because grass rarely grows at the same rate across an entire garden. One patch may be thin and dry, while another is fuller or faster growing. Responsive power is intended to match those changes as you mow.
It does not remove the need to use the mower sensibly. If the grass is unusually long, choose a suitable height and follow the manual rather than trying to force a short finish in one pass. A brushless cordless mower still has limits, and heavy cutting affects what a battery charge can achieve.
Is a 33cm cutting width right for you?
Cutting width tells you how wide a strip the mower cuts in a pass. At 33cm, this model sits on the compact side of lawn care. It is worth considering where your garden layout makes a broad deck less convenient.
A narrower cut means more passes across a large open lawn. In a smaller space, that may be a fair exchange for a compact deck. Think about how much of your mowing involves long straight runs and how much involves changing direction.
Do not confuse cutting width with the mower’s full width. The detailed listing gives dimensions of 72cm deep, 42cm wide and 33.5cm high, but it does not say what configuration those measurements describe. Confirm the assembled measurements if a gate or storage gap is tight.
Choosing a useful cutting height
This adjustable height lawn mower offers six settings from 25mm to 75mm. One lever selects the height, so you do not have to treat each wheel as a separate adjustment point.
The lowest setting is not automatically the right one. Start with the condition of the grass and the finish you want. If it has grown longer between cuts, a higher setting may be a more sensible starting point.
The range gives you room to change your approach through the season. You may want a different grass length during dry weather than during steady growth. Follow lawn care guidance suited to your grass type and climate rather than choosing one height for every month.
Always stop the machine and follow the manual before making adjustments. A quick change is still a task that needs care.
What the collection bag adds
The included 35L grass bag gathers clippings as you mow. If you prefer to remove cut grass, this is a useful part of the setup rather than an extra feature you need to source separately.
How often you empty it will depend on the amount of grass being cut. A light maintenance mow produces a different volume from a cut after a long gap. Pause when needed instead of expecting a fixed number of passes between emptying.
The supplier states collection efficiency of up to 90%. That should not be read as a promise of a spotless lawn after every cut. Some clippings can remain, and mowing conditions affect collection. A mulching function is not confirmed in this record, so do not assume it offers both approaches.
Edges still deserve a closer look
The 33cm deck has a cut-to-edge design intended to reach close to the outside of the deck. This can help along lawn boundaries and may reduce how much trimming is left after mowing.
The shape of the border still matters. A level path beside the lawn presents a different edge from a raised bed or a fence post. Corners and awkward gaps may still need a separate tool.
When comparing a cut to edge mower, think about the boundaries in your own garden. It is a helpful deck feature, not a guarantee that every edge will be finished without follow-up work.
Put runtime figures in context
The product details list a battery average life of 45 minutes. They also state coverage of up to 200m² per charge. These are useful reference points, but neither tells you exactly how your own mowing session will go.
Grass thickness, starting height and the amount being removed all change the cutting task. A collection bag may also need emptying during the job, which adds time even when the motor is not running.
For a cordless mower for small lawns, the better question is whether it offers a sensible margin for your usual workload. If the lawn is well within the stated area, the match may be more comfortable than if you depend on reaching the upper figure every time.
Check weight, assembly and battery sharing
The WG733E weighs 13.5 kg and requires assembly. Consider the route between storage and lawn, including any steps. A compact deck does not tell you how comfortable a machine will be to lift.
Read the assembly instructions before use and allow time to check that everything is fitted correctly. The record does not state assembly time or required tools.
If you already own WORX equipment, the PowerShare battery platform may be relevant. Check the exact requirements of each tool before sharing batteries. Some tools use different battery arrangements, so platform membership should not replace a model-by-model compatibility check.
Care that supports regular use
After mowing, switch off, wait for the blade to stop and remove the battery before cleaning or inspection. Clear built-up clippings using the methods allowed in the manual. Do not assume that a battery mower can be washed with a hose.
Check the blade and fasteners regularly. Look over the collection bag for damage, too. A worn part is a reason to follow the service guidance, not to keep mowing until it fails.
Store the mower and battery somewhere dry, following the manufacturer’s temperature and charging advice. Keeping the instructions nearby makes routine care easier and helps avoid guessing about battery storage or cleaning methods.
The short version
The WORX WG733E is worth considering if you want a small garden lawn mower with cordless power, a 33cm deck and bag collection. Its six cutting heights offer useful choice, while IntelliCut adjusts power to suit changing grass.
Before ordering, check your lawn area, confirm the charging setup and make sure the weight and storage needs suit your home. Those practical checks matter more than choosing by a single headline figure. The right mower is one that fits the garden you have and the routine you can keep.
