Is this worth twice the price of the Weed Eater 20V 2 speed that also has 125 MPH air speed and also quick charging? Drive and Decks.

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.

I cannot compare to the Weed Eater mentioned, as I do not have it. However the B&D; LSW36 is excellent and I am in my second year of use. Does a great job on sidewalks, two proches I have, two car garage floor and driveway areas. Really clears off debris, unless wet grass and then I am not sure any but an industrial gas blower would move wet grass.

After the first charge that takes about 10 hours, it usually takes about an hour to 1 1/2 hours.I don't have the charger that came with it. It wasn't strong enough. The Black & Decker store here in Birmingham swapped it for one that you sit it in to charge. The lady there said the one that had a cord to plug into the battery wasn't strong enough to fully charge it. With continuous use, it takes about an hour to run down. I change & put the other battery on it & charge the first one. If I have more to do, the first battery is recharged by the time the second runs down. I love the weed eater. It is so easy to use & light weight. It's great not having to lug a long extension cord around. Some that I cut is up hill & about 200 feet away from plugs.

I read this how to piece online and decided to go with this plug in charging station. Here is a link to the article: http://www.plugincars.com/quick-guide-buying-your-first-home-ev-charger-126875.html I am not aware of a model that is $300 cheaper. This model is $100 more than one that is hard wired, but I wanted the option of removing it and using it at different locations easily. This AeroVironment charging station was easy to install and it arrived quickly and carefully packaged from Amazon. I have had it since June 2014 and have never once had a problem with it. The best benefit is not wasting time at gas stations breathing in benzene anymore. Enjoy your Leaf. I love mine. I read this how to piece online and decided to go with this plug in charging station.

Youd be better off goin with a walmart ($70.00 marine bat), has quick charge capabilities, also even faster discharge capability. Coffee makers and grills, require high discharge draw. Also, if your only using the inverter once or twice a day, the one marine bat may be sufficient, for small one time uses per day.The 35ah bat is small (round size of lawnmower bat), I do not recommend for your application, however, they would be good for, "more of a long term, gradual recharge", type of power source such as, gate openers(used 1-3 times daily), low voltage outdoor lighting, or simple nitelights around the house.

no problem charging on US electric. the grass catcher stays on very well during use, but comes off with nearly no effort when you need to empty iy. the blades have not gotten stuck on me yet under electric power, but when using as a non powered push mower they do bind up from time to time in thick grass. I have no idea where to get the battery. i did see one here on amazon for $150 (wow). I do need a second battery as the main battery is not enough to cover my whole lawn. i get about 2.3 of it done. i don't know the exact size of my lawn but it is typically about an hour mow from start to finish

Purchased Weed Eater WE-One 3 summers ago. I have no problems navigating this mower. In other words, I love it and certainly do not regret buying!

NO!!! I'm using the charger that came with the weed eater. However the battery seems stronger and last longer than the original battery.

I have used both and the 20 v Max driver just has more power and battery's last longer no cons.

My son and I mow and weed eat several yards every week. We also have a worx 40v hedge trimmer that uses the same battery. I have only used the entire charge on a battery once and that was after using the hedge trimmer 1st then switching the battery to the weed eater. The battery lasts a long time.

If your going to use it close to a plug most of the time, or drilling in steel or heavy use. get the electric. I have both and the 12v. If your going to build a tree stand...... the 20v is great. overhead work, I love the 12v. it's very light with the LED, awesome. Streight up power, go electic, but think about what you will be useing it for the most. good luck

i think the e-125 and the e-150 are faster scooters,i brought the 5amp batteries,they work great

My Husband uses a big, heavy, gas powered Ryobi while my son and I use the Worx. Can't tell the difference! Our lawn grows with runners- so if a section hasn't been edged in a while my husband's more powerful edger does the job more quickly, but if it's been maintained my Worx edger gets through it no problem! My yard looks great & it's light enough to handle easily!

You are really looking at the wrong product for your application. You don't need to drop $500 on a REALLY good leaf blower either.1/4 of an acre is nothing clear with a good Husqvarna backpack blower. If you don't have physical mobility, you could still do a greatjob while riding whatever it is that you'd be on, and have the backpack on. This doesn't compare to a BillyGoat style rolling blower.Your application might warrant you just renting a machine a couple of times a year.

I can do my complete yard 3,times without charging....that includes edging...lasts a lot longer than I thought it would and it also charges fast

Ronald provided a good explanation of speed vs volume ratings. Just to piggy back, higher MPH is technically better for moving heavier matter such as wet grass and higher air flow, as on 350bt, technically works better for moving large piles of leaves and such. I live on an acre with many large oak trees and my 150bt handles everything like a champ. I rarely use the machine on full throttle. Also, the 150bt came with several different nozzles to adjust speed and air flow. Hope this helps.

The HEXFLY Tenergy 01005 is great. Provides full charge in one to 2 hours and sells for $44.99

MPH rating doesn't mean much compared to a blower's design. This blower moves a LOT of air even at low speeds. It moves more debris than my previous 2-stroke backpack blower especially at lower speeds. I rarely use this at full throttle. And like the other posts mention, the ease of start up is a huge plus over 2-stroke machines.
