is it more powerful than the battery-operated version ?

I think long term, yes. If you have some pretty rough calluses you need to take on, I think the plug in version has more staying power for longer.

I'm not sure but I looked at it this way.. my feet are going to take some time to get done. And batteries are expensive! Cheaper in the long run

I don't know about more pwerful. but I would think that since it is powered by electricity, it would run at top speed all the time without slowing down very fast. I have very rough feet and I could "sand" them down for 10 minutes a day and keep going! so in my opinion, I would prefer electricity instead of looking for batteries every other time i use it.

Absolutely! No worries about losing power with the corded version. Previous viewers mention the battery operated one stopping if too much pressure is applied, this does not happen with the corded version.

Not sure if I can tell you of a better choice, we use ours in our camper ( kids and long hair dog), as well as around the house to complement the central vac, it picks up dog hair and dirt you can't see. Weare very happy with the choice, we havent run out of battery but we aren't doing whole house

I bought the electric version because I assumed it would have more power/consistency than the battery powered version. So I cannot compaire, but I can say that this is my new favourite product...it's fantastic!

I don't have the 20Volt model you mention, but just based on battery size, I'm guessing the B&D; battery will have more power and last longer. Again, these battery powered units are great as a sweeper, but not really for heavy duty yard leaf blowing. I alternate my battery with the B&D; weed eater too, and so far it works out great. Have had them about a year.

As stated below, this one has more amps, the batteries are 3.0 Ah vs 1.5 Ah. Also, this one has more torque.

Absolutely! It is better with the Lithium Ion battery. More power, lasts longer! I love this drill! Have fun!

It doesn't lose much power, but it doesn't have much to start with. For the size and weight, it's remarkably weak. My old one, which served me well for over 10 years, is much, much better.

Very big difference, it has a lot more power than the 12volt verison. If you are going to be doing a lot of building you want the bigger one. It makes the job a whole lot easier. Can zip right through for drilling or putting screws in.

I prefer the more powerful ones like the 9280. I bought my daughter one also. It is well worth the money..

Aaron, it's pretty powerful when run at full throttle but at that speed the battery discharges fairly quickly. It won't work as well as and air compressor with a nozzle on it, for instance. I use it for dusting my workbench and floor all the time. It will also work as a vacuum if you move the rubber tip to the intake side.

I thought it was more powerful, but without a hands on comparison I'm not so sure. I do have to say I've been very pleased.

This thing is commercial quality, the motor is powerful, an improved 400W and it is corded so no worries about battery or recharge. By the way this is the 2014 version which is a big improvement from the previous version, Im very pleased with its functionality and versatility of long tasks it does so well with.

It is NOT battery powered. Power is supplied by extension cords. I bought this for my 82 yr old mother-in-law. It is very light weight and meant to blow off a sidewalk, and not an entire lawn. It is however quite powerful for it's size.

Mine is new, so I haven't had a chance to test battery life. But, Yes, it is more powerful for cleaning than the 12 volt.

I have both the corded (A/C power cord), as well as the battery operated version. I love the A/C powered version as I don't need to continually replenish the 2 batteries. Having both provdes options - however, go with your preference for replacing batteries, or relyng on A/C power supply (the latter which provides consistent, stronger power from my observation).

yes it is quite powerful. the plastic body is somewhat delicate and will not take much abuse

NO. It is plug only. I don't know if there are ones out there that are battery operated
