Worx WG583 40V PowerShare 4.0Ah Cordless Leaf Blower/Vac/Mulcher

My Worx 12 amp corded (110 volt a/c) 400 CFM 250 mph leaf blower produces the speed and volume of air I wanted it to & does what I want it to. I researched leaf blowers, looking for the most powerful corded blower on the market, and found this Worx model to be the most powerful, and what I was looking for. I was not disappointed. In fact, I plan to buy another soon.

After many years wasting the better part of my day dealing with fallings leaves, raking, and packing them into industrial sized yard-waste bags, I'm very happy to have found the Worx WG524. It has taken hours (even days) off of how long it takes to deal with falling leaves; and it's reduced the number of people needed to do the work down to just me. Once I gathered the falling foliage into either one gigantic pile (or several piles - to save even more time) I simply set the WG524 to vaccuum mode, choose one of the multiple power levels, and then watch it work its magic as it grabs up gobs of leaves. At that point, you can hear the impeller as it heartily slices and dices the debris into much smaller pieces so that it's easy to fit a lot more of this yard waste into your trash barrel. That's where the 18:1 mulch ratio really shows its stuff. Yesterday I spent only about 2 hours (including raking and vaccuuming time) getting up this year's first round of falling leaves. (We live in South FL, so leaves begin falling the months prior to Spring). That work, in the past would have taken the better part of a work day ; but now I get my time back, and (unlike some other vac-blowers) this one is easy on the back. On top of that, since it has 3-in-1 functionatity, once I'm done disposing of all of the leaf waste, I simply pop off the collection bag, turn the function knob counter-clockwise to the blower setting, and blow away any remaining unsightly stuff off of my walkway. I own a Ryobi blower (it's great), but I would pit the Worx WG524 blower up against any other any day. I'd only state the only con is that this is an AC-powered unit, so you'll need to have that energy source available.
