I have a bad back so for me this is a life saver. No more raking and bending and stuffing of yard debris. The item is heavier than the yard blower but with the attached strap it works great. Thank you for inventing such great, high quality, easy-to-use yard care items. I have purchased 5 items and have given some also as gifts. The recipients of those gifts agree - Worx Products are awesome.
Only 2 problems I found was the shoulder strap is to short and the off on switch works a little hard other than that it is a working machine very pleased actually though I bought for the mulching not the blower The blower is too short too far away from the ground
I like the easy switch from blower to mulch/vac, and the single latch in the center to clear debris when using as a vac is handy. Unit is a bit heavy, so not suitable for long use, but it will work fine for my application. Really like the variable speed control, blowing tons of live oak leaves off of cypress mulch beds allows almost all the mulch to stay put without playing with the throttle all the time.
HEAVIER THAN LAST 3 MODELS PURCHASED. HAD TO INSTALL SHOULDER STRAP. NOT TRIED MULCHER .YET. SIMPLE SWITCH OVER TO MULCHER BOUGHT BECAUSE OF METAL IMPELLER. OTHER UNITS COMPATIBLE BUT CHEAPER.
A decent machine although slightly underpowered for its rating. A earlier machine had more suction and higher blowing power although rated for the same power/volume. Still, it does the job
