Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

First I'll mention I really wanted this to work. Pro's: Mulching capabilities were excellent. Cons: Blower / Vac is awkward to handle and not balanced well, hand and arm fatigue is probable for most average users. The bag shoulder strap is definitely too short which make it an ongoing struggle to keep the bag from constricting at the inlet neck. The vacuum starts out with decent power then rapidly looses suction after just a minute or two and with only 1/5 of the collection bag full. I suspect this is because the bag is filtering the exhausted air which contains dirt and debris and it clogs quickly creating back pressure which reduces the suction to near zero. Emptying and shaking out the bag restores the suction but it may need to be done every 1 to 2 minutes....who has time for that? The blower nozzle is under the suction chute and not visible from the top when in use, trying to get the blower nozzle angle just right while in use is like.....shooting in the dark. I think WORX has something with this tool, but it needs a redesign as it's not quite ready for Primetime just yet IMHO. I think if you have a small to moderate, flat area that needs blowing and the leaves are of typical size and dry and you are desperate for an electric blower / vac combo and hate raking, sweeping etc this tool could work but it might leave you desiring more.
