Got the Worx Air this week. The battery life is really bad and the air power is only average, at best. It will complete a small to average garage and driveway okay, maybe a little more, but that is about it. I haven't decided whether to keep it or not, as it is a convenient little tool that I can just grab and go without having to use a cord. But for the price, it is a disappointment.
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.
Ok just make sure you get an extra battery! Bottom line, you are not going to start your own landscaping business with this blower. But for decks, porches, sidewalks, entryways there is nothing lighter and more fun to use. It works great for the in between big jobs, not after hurricane Katrina. Its portable and runs on batteries- get real. It works great for what it is!
Had to clear my 1200 sq. ft. deck, sidewalks, and flower beds of debris, pine needles, leaves, sticks and gravel. I did not have any trouble weilding this light weight blower and it does everything I have asked it to do. All with one charge of the battery. The best part, no struggling to start the 2 cycle blower that gave out from the ethanol in the fuel, hence the purchase of the Worx product.
One complaint, it blows so hard that it pushes the river stones onto the sidewalk. This blower is very strong indeed. I will have to adapt to its wind strength.
I can't wait to try out the inflator/deflator on some of the pool floats or for an air matress camping.
Let me start by saying I bought the Worx GT a few years ago and think it is one of the best purchases I have ever made! I loved the idea of the WorxAir because of it being cordless and they went to a 20v battery so I bought one along with the gutter kit. I was excited to finally get to use it in my yard blowing old leaves from under my hedges and off my rock garden, so I charged the battery and went to town and was very disappointed in the power (or lack of) this thing has. I really expected some more power to blow debris without having to be right on top of it to get it to move. I still use it and it worked fine on my gutters but it wasn't what I expected.
I have a corded Toro blower, and it's powerful, so I really did not need the WorxAir. I was especially attracted to the WorxAir not only for it being cordless but as seen on TV it could clean the gutters of my house. This was the feature that made me decide to buy even though I had a very good working blower. Nothing was said on the TV ad that the attachment was extra (if it was mentioned I must have missed it). Don't get me wrong, the WorxAir is probably most versatile, but I was disappointed that I did not get the gutter-cleaning attachment which was my main reason for the purchase. I would not want to pay any more than I already paid. Without it, I am considering on returning the WorxAir-- I can put up with my corded blower without spending for a blower. Tell me how I can return it. I already own the WorxGT, Sure, I'll recommend it to friends as long as they know that not all that is said on the TV Ad are included.
