I have two front yards. My back yard faces a cul de sac. I have twice as much sidewalk to clean up as any of my neighbors. I have arthritis and back problems. In the past, after I cut the grass, I have left the clippings laying on the sidewalk because the blowers I used were too heavy, had cumbersome cords, or had batteries that died before I could finish. My WORX blower finishes the job in a fraction of the time and has battery life left over for me to clear out dust and debris from the garage. The only trouble I have is removing the attachment from the base; the button is hard for me to push. Otherwise, this is the most fun I've had doing yardwork.
