I bought this to replace my existing 10+ year old worn out leaf blower/mulcher/vacuum. I was disappointed with the performance as my older blower with its worn impeller was much more effective at moving leaves and pine needles in a side by side test. The feature of switching from blower to mulch was nice as you do not have to change out parts, but I believe this feature compromised the performance of the blower, as the exit nozzle is too far from the ground. The mulcher jammed on a small 3/8" x 1" long twig and was difficult to clear as it was well lodged between the housing and the impeller. I was forced to return the unit after only one day, but the return process was excellent with friendly prompt service.
I bought this a couple months ago to help me with the yard work and being 64 years old my body doesn't work as easy as it use too. I lost my husband last year and he use to do all the yard work. It made it so easy to blow all the leaves into a pile and then mulch them all up to use where I don't want grass to grow.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Purchased this about a month ago and I extremely pleased. Out of the box very easy to put together, good instructions ,easy to use. My wife and I are in our late sixties and neither one of us had a problem using this. It is making our fall clean up easier than it was before. It does the job.
Bought my blower/mulcher several weeks ago. I waited until the beginning of spring to clean up all the leaves on my property. New homeowner on a corner lot with more than 15 oak trees on less than quarter acre. Can you imagine the pile up? We ended up with 32 fifty gallon bags of leaves and we couldn't have done it without the Worx. This tool vacuums piles of leaves with small twigs and some small rocks. The metal impeller mulches everything down, your carrying sack ends up weighing about 10 pounds completely filled with mulch. Get the top of the line metal impeller Worx blower / mulcher. I can only imagine the trouble the plastic impeller would have with those twigs and stones. Bottom line, great tool, worked non-stop, full power for 5 hours straight, switched between blower and vacuum about 30 times! Switching is extremely easy to do, machine is efficient and durable, you can see the quality right out the box.
