Our take
The WG779 is the most compact deck in this reviewed group and the only documented push-only model. Its two-battery kit removes the need to buy a separate mower battery and charger, while the 14-inch deck, 0.85-bushel bag, and lack of a confirmed side-discharge mode are meaningful compromises. Treat the maker’s per-charge area statements as unresolved: its page shows both 5,000 and 5,500 square feet. This is a documentation-based comparison, not a cutting test.
A buyer who wants a compact push mower, already uses PowerShare or wants the documented battery-and-charger kit, and is comfortable with a smaller grass bag..
It is a poor match if self-propelled drive, a two-bushel bag, or verified side discharge is essential. Confirm the exact bundle and area suitability for your yard before purchase.
Pros & cons
What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.
What works in its favor
- The documented 14-inch deck is substantially narrower than the 21-inch alternatives in this group.
- WORX lists two removable 20 V 4.0 Ah batteries and a dual-port charger in the WG779 package.
- The maker documents six cutting-height positions and a folding handle for storage.
What to weigh up
- This is push-only, so it does not provide powered forward movement on slopes or long passes.
- The 0.85-bushel grass bag is much smaller than the two-bushel bags documented for the EGO models.
- The manufacturer page documents bagging and mulching but does not confirm side discharge; its area-per-charge wording conflicts.

Full review: how the features affect your choice
What the features mean for you
A narrow deck trades pass width for access
WORX documents a 14-inch deck for the WG779, compared with the 21-inch decks of both EGO models in this first group. That narrower width can be useful when a buyer is prioritizing a smaller machine for tight routes, obstacles, and storage. It also means each pass covers less width, so the deck dimension should be compared with the route and routine rather than treated as a promise about mowing time. No independent area or cutting test is part of this review.
A complete PowerShare battery bundle
The US product page identifies two removable 20 V, 4.0 Ah PowerShare batteries, used together for the 40 V max system, and a dual-port charger. That is a concrete convenience for a buyer who does not already own compatible equipment. The platform is also part of WORX’s wider PowerShare family, but the source does not establish compatibility with EGO batteries. Voltage labels describe separate systems and should not be read as a direct measure of cutting power or runtime.
Bagging and mulching, with a modest collector
WORX describes using the mower with its collection bag or in mulching mode. The listed bag capacity is 0.85 bushels, below the two-bushel figure published for the EGO alternatives, so buyers who collect a lot of clippings may value that difference. The manufacturer page does not confirm a side-discharge setup for this exact configuration. We leave side discharge unknown instead of treating an unmentioned option as a proven feature or a proven absence.
Height choices and compact storage
The WG779 has six documented height positions from 1.5 to 3.5 inches. The lower end is higher than the EGO Select Cut model’s documented one-inch minimum, and the upper end is below the EGO models’ four-inch maximum. WORX also describes a folding handle for compact storage. Those dimensions can help narrow a shortlist, but they do not say which height is right for a particular lawn; follow the mower instructions and the needs of the grass you maintain.
Verify area and exact seller configuration
The manufacturer’s page gives two different per-charge area figures, 5,000 and 5,500 square feet. Because the source conflicts, this review does not use either number to screen the mower or promise that one battery set will cover a particular yard. The official page is evidence for the WG779 model and its listed kit, not proof that an Amazon result contains the same bundle today. Match the model code, two batteries, charger, condition, and manual on the seller page before deciding.

Before you buy
Is the WG779 self-propelled?
No. WORX identifies this mower as push-only. The buyer supplies the forward movement, even though the mower itself is battery powered.
Are batteries and a charger included?
The manufacturer’s US WG779 page lists two 20 V 4.0 Ah PowerShare batteries and a dual-port charger. Check the exact model and package contents on the seller page before ordering.
How large a yard can one charge mow?
The manufacturer page has conflicting 5,000 and 5,500 square-foot area statements. We leave that fact unresolved and do not use either figure as a guarantee for an individual lawn.
