Available at Lowe's in Gilford for about $120, or Wal-Mart in Plymouth for $130, the www.worx.com is a hand held leaf vac that deposits leaves into a trash can via a fat hose.
My question of course is; does it work well or ok or just so-so or what, and has anyone used one?
Yes, as everyone already knows, one can use it for 89-days and then return it for full credit to either Lowe's or Wal-Mart, ... probably because it then gets returned to the maker by Lowe's or Wal-Mart .... but beyond that returnable 90-day time limit ...... is it worth keeping ..... and does it do what it is supposed to do ..... namely, pick up leaves and mulch them by a supposedly 10:1 size reduction ratio? |
I have had one of these for 3 years. It works very well but like others have said wet leaves can be difficult. I do not have a large yard and this handles the clean up job well. Another thing to be aware of is using the right extension cord. Remember it is a 12 amp motor and that is higher amps than many electric yard tools you may already have. I use a 14 awg extension cord and have no issues but a 16 awg should work fine.
I also have the WORX 24V cordless trimmer/edger and that is an excellent tool.
