[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The old 18 volt model still works good. I am on my 3rd battery, almost ready for #4. I decided to try the new model with the 20 volt battery. As soon as I pressed the button I could tell a big difference in the sound and performance. Much more power than the original. I opted for the 4 AH battery and I have yet to run it down on a big yard with a lot of trimming to do. I was very pleased with the original Worx Trimmer but this one really out performs the earlier model. And, no recharging in the middle of the job!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Keep your batteries charged and ready! Perfect for those who can't carry, or don't want something heavy to use for lighter jobs, and older people who need an easy to carry, easy to use blower. This is powerful enough for my 1/2 acre use with two speeds where lighter duty is all that is required. The low speed is great for areas where lower air flow is necessary but still removes the leaves and debris. When I use high-speed, the blower moves leaves and other debris with no problem and still affords me to have comfortable control at the higher speed. Great convenience for grabbing at last minute to blow the mower off, blow the driveway, garage floor without having to unwrap my electric cord, plug in and drag the cord around behind my heavy electric blower. The carrying handle is significant and comfortable for my hands. I purchased one for my older sister and she loves hers also! I don't usually write product reviews and am doing this to enter a sweepstakes, however, this review is my truth for how I feel about this 20V battery powered blower and would say the same if I usually did write reviews.
