Right tool for right job

I live on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi. My home is on a good sized lot with quite a few oak trees. In this part of the country, the leaves seem to fall from September through March so cleaning them up is a continuous task. I first saw the WORX AIR on TV along with the gutter cleaning attachment. I was a bit skeptical, but after reading the reviews and inquiring about the return policy, I decided to purchase one and the attachment. It is the right tool for the job of cleaning the gutters. It beats climbing the ladder and doing it by hand or using a small corded blower. It is exactly what I wanted. In addition, I found that it is extremely good in close quarters and where there is outside furniture. I have a covered front entry where leaves seem to collect. Also a 30 ft x 7 ft back porch and a 30 ft x 15 concrete patio surrounded by a 20 in. brick wall with two openings. The WORK AIR is perfect for clearing leaves from the porch working around 4 chairs, 2 small tables and various other obstructions. The only problem I have is reaching for the cord which isn't there. When I move to the patio, I bring out my TRIVAC to finish the job. As long as you don't try to do too large a task with the WORX AIR, it is a great tool. I will be adding a review for my TRIVAC which is a great companion to have.
I bought this product about 1 month ago. It works great in the garage, on sidewalk & patios. It doesn't have enough blower capacity to for yard work, ex. some leftover leaves in my yard. Returning the gutter attachment for that reason also. Keeping the blower for light duty jobs & recommend it for light duty jobs only.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for taking time to share your feedback. For leaf pickup we would recommend our Worx Trivac WG500.
I have had for almost a year now, bought it last winter and started using this spring right till first snow this year. I can't find a thing wrong so far, I am 67 and tiny so I purchased it for me to use because all of hubby's tools are to heavy, but my Husband found it and now uses it ALL THE TIME ! I love the light weight, and there is lot's of blowing power too. I just purchased another battery so I can use it longer by switching off when needed, I JUST LOVE THIS PRODUCT.
I PURCHASED THE WORX AIR IN AUGUST, I WAS EXCITED TO GET IT BECAUSE MY ELECTRIC BLOWER WAS A HASSLE TO USE BECAUSE OF THE EXTENSION CORD. MY EXCITEMENT TURNED TO DISAPPOINTMENT AS SOON AS I CHARGED IT AND TURNED IT ON. I HAD TO KEEP GOING OVER THE SAME AREA JUST TO CLEAR THE LEAVES . : ( IT TOOK MORE TIME THAN IT WOULD HAVE TAKEN ME TO USE MY ELECTRIC ONE. TRY TO GO AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE THE BATTERY WILL SOON DIE ON YOU.

Thank you for your review. The WORX Air replaces the need for a broom as an innovative blower/sweeper with a maximum air speed of 120 mph.
The WORX Air is intended to be used on dry leaves.
If you have a larger area to blow or need to use for an extended amount of time we recommend purchasing a second battery, so that you will have a charged back up.
I have to recharge the battery twice in order to finish the job. I would buy an extra battery but not two.

Purchased one month ago and use it daily for ALL the oak leaves and nuts that fall on the patio. Perfect, perfect, perfect!!!!! No more unwinding and winding electrical cords. Just keep it properly charged and your ready to go! What a great time and effort saver.
purchased this after seeing the infomercial and could have saved money by showing some restraint. The commercial shows how great this thing works...meh!! It does have some blowing power but fully charged battery only worxxs for about 1 to 2 hours tops before its tapped out. I kept it but will probably consider getting an extra battery for it while the other is on charge.
I use this air blower all the time. Use it in the house, at the doorways and the porch deck, stairs & patio's. I just love it! It hangs in a special place near the door...Easy to use, fits in my hands, is light not bulky...
