I'm kind of a moron when it comes to anything mechanical, but I was able to take this out of the box, snap a couple of parts together and charge the battery, and I was good to go! I have a small patio that is constantly messy with leaves and this is easy for me to do a quick clean up.
I bought it a couple of weeks ago and I am still debating on if I should keep it or not. Unfortunately it doesn't have the power they seem to advertise so it does take a good effort to 'blow' all degree. Also and probably most importantly the battery doesn't last at all! That is so disappointing an then to charge it will take looong time, so I haven't been able to finish the work at one go the 2-3 times I've tried.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for your review. The WORX Air replaces the need for a broom as a innovative blower/sweeper with a maximum air speed of 120 mph.
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.
It is light easy and to use. We have a gasoline blower that is much heavier, and noisier. Because of it's weight and having to pull start it, I seldom use it. One of the things I like about the WORXAIR is that you can turn it off and on easily, and I don't have to leave it on when I am walking from one part of the yard to another. Because it is so easy to use and does such a great job cleaning our patios, pool deck, driveway and flower beds, I use it all the time. My husband likes using it too.
This tool has a lot of power and really light weight. have used it every since I got it. very versital and a must have. Great for blowing after washing the car and harley.
