Side by Side Comparison of: Worx vs Coleman Cable vs Bayco

Powerful blow and VAC. Using the attachable vac bag that comes with it, will severely coat you with all the dirt and debris that escapes the bag too! I used it on dry leaves. The excellent mulching of the unit should have caused the engineers to do a better job matching the bag to keep the debris inside it. I looked like "Pigpen", the Snoopy character before I was finished sucking up the leaves out front. I'm trying to extend the hose that comes with the leaf collection coverhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZMUEO4G/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_52so it's a little easier to use.

This Worx blower is the bomb! I live in Oklahoma where the wind truly blows all the time. Every-time I open my garage, something blows in from the surrounding fields. The Worx blower sends it right back out again, even against the wind. Our road is supposedly paved, but there is more gravel than asphalt. The Worx blower has no issues propelling small rocks back into the street. I have not used the vacuum or mulcher, but the blower part really blows, in a good way! It is also great for cleanup after I use my edger. Since we live in OK, leaves don't stick around long enough to worry about.

Very powerful blower! works great, Easy to change over from a blower to mulcher/vac.

Excellent power, light weight, great price!

This blower is really powerful I'm glad I bought it and a fast delivery

Powerful right up there with a gas blower. With none of the hassle of mixing gas and oil. Glad I purchased the WG518 over the WG505. WG518 is lighter and my arm still gets tired with one hand operation. I don't see any time I'll need to switch back and forth between blowing and vacuum mulching with the flip of a lever on the 505. Come fall I will blow leaves into piles then change over to vacum/mulch. Looking forward not have to rake, bend, and pick up leaves in to barrel after barrel.

Perfect size and weight for what we needed. We can't seem to have enough of these around this home of ours. I will buy nothing shorter than a 100 ft anymore. It's amazing how they are never long enough to get the job done with the shorter ones.

As an Electrical Engineer let clear up some misconcptions.1.  All ratings are very conservative, as they were tested based on the worse conditions anyone would expect to occur and then some.2.  Current (Amps) limitations are to prevent fire, due to heat build up.  Dissapating heat is a major concern, hence all the vents you see and fans you hear in your PCs and other devices.With that said a cable laying on the ground, outside, and not coiled up, is going to disapate heat much more easily than a cable coiled up or inside a wall, the later being a worst case scenario and one basis for the ampere ratings.  More amps more heat. Note that the ratings are based on 30°C (86°F), thankfully fall is much cooler.From NEC Table 400.5(A)(1) Allowable Ampacity for Flexible Cords and Cables [Based on Ambient Temperature of 30 °C (86 °F).Lists 16 gauge wire for; Condition A* = 10A (listed rating of this cord)Condition B* = 13A*Condition A:   The allowable currents apply to 3-conductor cords and other multiconductor cords connected to utilization equipment so that only 3 conductors are current-carrying.*Condition B:   The allowable currents apply to 2-conductor cords and other multiconductor cords connected to utilization equipment so that only 2 conductors are current-carrying.The 3rd conductor is ground and does not carry current under normal conditions, thus this cable would more accurately fall under Class B (13A). This would certify 12A use.There is another factor, the voltage drop in the cable.  This voltage is not available to the load (e.g, leaf blower) and, if too great, would affect it's operation.  The voltage drop in the wire can be predicted using Ohm's Law (Volts= current x resistance).So now we need the resistance of the cable.The AWG (American Wire Gauge) lists 16 gauge wire having a resistance of 4.016 ohms per 1000ft.  That converts to 0.4016 ohms for our 100ft cable.  Aplying Ohm's Law the voltage drop in  the cable will be - 0.4016 ohms × 12 Amps = 4.82 volts.  This leaves 120v - 4.82v or 115.18v for the load.  More than enough for normal operation.  Yes, this is sized correctly and will work for 12A use without issue. Good to go!One final note on extension cords in general, especially if using a cord reel;Regardless of current demand (12A, 10A, 8A, etc.), to prevent heat build-up that could very possibly melt the insulation and create a fire hazzard;=============》 !!! UNWIND ENTIRE CABLE BEFORE USE!!! 《=============..

I love this cord i-s very sturdy and it hold real well during the winter months when using the cord with the snow blower. It was worth the purchase, and I'm sure other customers will feel the same if they choose to purchase this product.

good for garden work

Great Extension cord for operating power tools

It is a cord, so yea works great so far. Plus is it wasn't damaged and was packaged nicely.

I love this product! After struggling with just blowing leaves to a central place and then hand bagging them, my husband got this for me. It is easy to attach to the machine and the trash can, but i kept pulling the can over and everything would come apart and spill leaves everywhere. After picking up the same piles of leaves a few times, I made a lawn cart out of an old pressure washer frame to hold the trash can securely, so now I can't just tip it over if I stretch the hose too far.The only real issue I've had was the coil wire inside the hose came loose near the end, and I had to actually cut about 6 inches of the hose off because the wire wouldn't stay seated and kept causing the hose to clog. This issue was the result of the hose getting crushed during one of my can tip-over incidents, and not because of the quality of the product. Easy fix, though.Yeah, maybe I like my leaf vacuum and collection system a little too much.

This really helps! It’s not particularly convenient to drag the trash can along, but if you get a big pile of leaves together, so that you don’t have to move around too much, this makes munching them easy. The fabric can cover with drawstring fits over very large trash cans - the kind with wheels.

Item arrived on time, packaged well, and as described. Highly recommended if you are tired of carrying and emptying the bag that comes with the blower.

Works great with the worx trivac .

Im blown away by this simple little attachment. Now granted it cause more dust than I expected, this made life with my worx trivac so much better. Due to the huge capacity of my trash can (which i prelined with a leaf bag) the vac never lost any suction! This makes the process exponentially faster between no slow down in intake and way less stopping to empty the mulch bag. I am very pleased and recommend anyone with a mulcher try this!

This thing is awesome. It solved a huge problem for me on my property which was putting leaves in a refuse bag. I rigged this thing up to a bag funnel and put it on my Echo gas leaf blower/vacuum and I got the job done in no time. I cleared nearly a my entire yard of nearly 2 acres of wooded property in a little over 2 hours. Before, it would take an entire day.Get it, don't even think twice. Absolutely no issues.

Only used once so far, but couldn't be happier. Saved me hours.

This is a great and pretty powerful blower! The vac portion leaves a lot to be desired, it doesn't show it's full potential until you purchase the leaf collection system that fits over your trash can. If you use the included bag it just robs you of power and gets clogged a lot more easily...

Works as expected. Don't expect the kind of power you'd get from a gas powered machine. Works best on patio and driveway. I found a rake did a better & faster job on the grass, but I wasn't expecting any different. Vacuum function works well and metal components seem durable.

We have only used the blower/vac once and it worked real good. I would recommend it so far, we will have to see how it holds up in the future.

This is an excellent product! (Sorry, but 5 stars says "I love it." Not quite, but it is NOT the fault of the product.)Very well built. Sturdy. Super power. However, I had to return it. In the right situation, it would serve very well. Wrong tool, and it is NOT the tool's fault. I thought it would do something it cannot do.I am only writing this review in case someone's situation is similar to mine: you may choose not to order this. (Most people will really love it!) I am an avid gardener doing natural landscaping. Winding paths through lots of flower beds. No asphalt, mostly mulched walks and just a few brick paths. I needed some solution to all the "propeller" tree seeds from many trees, trying to collect most of thousands before they sprout into trees in the flower beds. I imagined being able to vacuum these up, or blow them into neat piles.This is not the tool for this! Mulch, soil, small plants, rocks, twigs all over. (Low speed did not get the seeds out.) Finally blew some of them onto a patch of lawn in a swarth maybe 30' across. I suppose I could eventually develop the dexterity to blow these into a neat pile, then disconnect the blower tube and install the vacuum tube. (Not super convenient there.)I could do it much faster with a rake and a vacuuming lawn mower, collecting the chopped up material just as easily and mow the lawn at the same time. Again, wrong tool. That said, If you have a clean sweep of lawn or asphalt driveway, I can see this being really, really excellent (except don't plan on switching back and forth from vacuum to blowing very quickly). I bet in the right situation it is a real work saver. A mulching lawn mower works better for me.

Works well. Only problem is that the cord keeps coming loose. Might be the cord's fault. It is lightweight and powerful.

This is the perfect cord for what I needed to send to the reps. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star is because I need to see how it holds up over time. Once I know, I will come back and review with an update.

It is as advertised a long grounded power cord. It is working well and shows no signs of issues.

What can you say about a extension cord. Works fine.

Fluctuating price & coupon was right. Soft Cord kinks easily. These ripples, when wound, catch making it hard to unravel smoothly. Looks wavey. Knots up more than expensive hard cords. Was at my front door a day and a half after ordering at no expense to me. Fine extension for the price.

I'm using this to power a auto air inflation pump. The pump draws 1.5 amps. This is a light duty extension cord meant to handle 13 amps maximum. Even taking into account start up surge, I should be safe.This extension cord is light duty only. A current load anywhere close to the 13 amp maximum should be upgraded to an extension cord made with 14 or even 12 gauge wire.A light duty extension cord should be able to handle work lights, portable fans and hedge trimmers.Shop vacs, lawn mowers, table saws, power drills and chain saws cannot be used safely with this extension cord.

Bought this as an accessory for an electric snowblower. I had other cords but it seemed wise to get a single long waterproof cord; joining two shorter cords outside in the snow and wet seemed needlessly risky.Glad i did it. Have used it only once but it worked perfectly and with no worries.Not all that cheap, but it seems worth it to feel safe !

works great I just wish the use a different material to attach this to the trash can because for those of us who are allergic to trees you still have to deal with the the dust that come through from the mulching

Does everything they claim. Prompt delivery. Anyway you tell it.....leaves are still work🤧

WORX WA4054.2 LeafPro Universal Leaf Collection is an nice addition to the Worx Trivac while disposing grind leaves into the trash can or container.

It will easily fill a large green waste bin I received free from our city waste company. When it gets full it can be a little harder to lug around the yard but attaches well. I use a heavy spring clip on one corner or side to help attach it to the bin.. It is also a little heavy to hold the mulcher so I just lay it on the ground making sure the tube isn't kinked and just rake towards the suction. I'm a 64 year old female with a new knee so if I can do it you young folks should be fine.

This this is a life saver, I have the Worxs mulcher/ blower combo and would have to stop to empty the bag every 5 min. I have a lot of trees and the front was covered with them. This has saved me time and fatigue, the bag would get heavy and awkward to hold. The only negative about this is that I have the city trash can and this does not seal over the handle section so mulch comes shooting out. Not a big issue but it can get dusty.

This is a great product. However I should have purchased the one with the extra attachments. I had to go out and purchase duck tap to keep it from come off of the blower that I have. I have the Toro, Blower. I didn't want to spend the extra few dollars not knowing if it would fit the blower. Once I got this with the instruction booklet it shows and attachment specifically for my blower. They need to give better detail on the exact blower that it will fit like it does in the instruction manual.I was able to fit the draw-string portion over a 55 gallon trash can.What would normally take me all day to do with the original bag on the blower, now I am able to do within a few hours. Saving me lots of time.

Has an unbalanced feeling, its placement of the motor is the cause. Power is not enough for me.

Was so excited to get this and mulch my flower beds for spring. At first it worked awesome, then about 1 minute in the vacuum stopped mulching. I checked the bag it was 1/4 full, so i turned it back on wouldn't pull the leaves through, had to pull the leaves from the tube and began again, about 1 minute in, it stopped again. After 1 hour I had mulched a bag. Frustrated! Had to let the bag drag the ground behind to get it to fill. Still have to stop and shake the bag and drag out the leaves from the tube. It works but works you more. Large sycamore leaves, forget it, the are too large to go though the vacuum tube.

This thing gets clogged with twigs around the fan constantly; as in every time I use it. It works fine for vacuuming up leaves or grass clippings. I don't care for the design of swapping out tubes to go from a blower to a vacuum either but I could live with that if it worked flawlessly...which it doesn't.

Received with missing part?

This is a very sturdy and effective mulcher & vacuum, and a decent blower. However, the vacuum tube for this decreases in size a bit and tends to clog easily -- I think it's just a little too wide at the end for the air flow. It also gums up with mud around the impeller chamber if you are vacuuming wet leaves. (Don't rake up the leaves from the gutter into the main pile of leaves if they are wet! Let them all dry, first, or pick them up by hand!)

Okay

Just a cheap extension cord

It's a good cable, it was quality I expected.

Not a heavy duty cable.Just broke in middle after few uses. Would not recommand

It's a cheap cable (paid $9.99 for the 50' model) and it's light. It's not a bad cable, but you get what you pay for. I have a nice 12 gauge US Wire extension cord that is well made, but heavy. This little guy doesn't seem the most durable, but it hasn't fallen apart either. It does have the benefit of being light (which is natural for a thinner gauge cable). This is good for when you are only going to use a low powered piece of equipment as it's nice to not have to lug around the heavy extension cord. If you are looking to run big tools like table saws, etc. I'd opt for a thicker cable. If you are just looking to run a leaf blower now and then or other lower power jobs then this cable will fit the bill.

It shorted out after using it for six months! The end where you plug it into the appliance caught on fire with a little stream of fire coming from that end. Was lucky enough to detach it from the working appliance that it was being used on. Rubbed off the excess char from the working appliance for it still runs yet the extension cord was charred and one side was flattened.Seeing now if there is still a one year limited warranty on the extension cord itself to replace it. Otherwise will have to pay out of pocket to replace after only six months of using the extension cord. Sure was something to have the appliance stop suddenly then to kick back on to notice the little stream of fire coming from the plug in piece on one side of the cord. At least not a total lose since the working appliance as stated earlier is still workable just had to rub off excessive little char on it.

Works as described but awkward to use, would not buy again

Nice idea but design flaws. It blows dust everywhere when you use it. They should have coated the inside of the dust bag so that the dust does not scape from the bag. It needs improvements.

It works foe the most part. I have a Black and Decker blower/vacuum, so I have to use the adapter. It has on occasion fallen off during use, but works well most of the time. My main issue is the garbage can cover. It uses a draw string to tighten, which doesn't secure it as well as I would like. It could use a piece of heavy duty elastic in addition to the draw string. It is a great idea, and I use it a lot. Maybe Worx will consider my suggestion.

Same high quality as all my other WORX products and a good idea but a bit difficult to get attached to the trash container and I pulled the barrel over several times by exceeding the length of the hose. Next season when I have my new vac (tested this with a 13-14 year old unit) it may be more convenient.

Tried this on a variety of containers, small, large, round and square with a lip and without. The fine debris still found a way out even when the cord was tightened as tight as it would go. Great idea, but too much air movement into the container which forces the fine particles out into the air and onto the ground.

It fits a normal trash bin OK, but when picking up dried leaves in grinds them to a fine particle size that create dust, this blows out into your face (recommend a mask when using), and also fills the folds around the cover.

Was too heavy for this old lady to handle so I had to return it

This does not come with a cord. My past blowers did, so I was thrown when this arrived with a cord (even just a minimum one). This should be made clearer pre-purchase.

works perfectly fine. But I will be returning it because it is too heavy for me to maneuver. I read reviews that a grandma found it fine and somewhat lightweight - but it wasn't for me. I am disappointed, but think that I will just use my shop vac for now until it dies.

This is listed as an outdoor cord, but when it gets cold it gets really, really stiff. And when it gets hot, I sometimes can't get things to power up. Not much of an outdoors quality.And the brand WAS NOT Coleman!

Bought this on suggestion for leaf blower, but it's not heavy duty enough for it. To return it, half my refund would pay for shipping, so guess I'll keep it and see if something else comes along that can use it. :-(

Cord is stiff and coated with some cheap plastic. Very difficult to recoil or work the kinks out. Recommend spending a few more dollars on a higher quality cord.Mine also arrived with a gash in the plastic coating.

Pro: Nice length wire.Cons: With 2 uses outdoors it has developed cracks near the end and at other places of strain. I don't think this is an outdoor wire for Lawn accessories as intended, but may be fine for stationary equipment. The product is not worth the cost.

Sold as a packaged recommendation with the GreenWorks 26032 12 Amp Corded Snow Thrower. Well, the Snow thrower is a three pin and this cable is 2 pin so you cana. use it with the risk of electrocuting yourselfb. return it.

This extention cord is perhaps a bit too long, once it is twisted, it doesn't want to uncoil. I thought about hanging long sections of it off my 2nd story window but there doesn't seem to be enough kinetic energy in it to uncoil.. By uncoil I don't mean untangle.. Rather the twisting forces on the cord do not 'unwind'.

Not practical to work with the collapsible 26 Gallon Spring Yard Bucket. Does not attach to bucket securely enough. Difficult attaching it to bucket. Attachment to to top of bucket hangs over sides of bucket creating a mess of debris when detaching from bucket. Better to use with a sturdy plastic garbage can but still can get messy.

It helped with the chore at hand, but the amount of dust which filters through the cover is not good. Makes it hard to breath if you don't have a mask on.

The product is well made but its application - specifically when coupled with WORX WA 0030 spring bucket - is a poor connectivity. Primary reason is the coupling between two soft and flexible items where any amount of pressure will case the leaf collector to disengage each and every time. Similarly any hard item buckets, i.e. trash cans , unless the lip is circular, misdirects at least 30% of debris outside its intended destination.

Looks like good construction, BUT WILL NOT work on WORX510, ordered and sending back

This didn't work. It didn't stay attached. I was so excited about it and very disappointed that it didn't work.

I want to love it but can't. Sure, I don't have to bend down to collect the leaves, but I'm constantly having to wrestle the fabric back onto the trashcan. The fabric is tightened with a drawstring mechanism with a flimsy plastic fastener that comes loose pretty easily. The weight of the hose pulling on the fabric and the force of the vacuumed air pushing from inside the trashcan are what undo the covering.

After I put it together it felt heavy duty. I started using it, after few minutes it started vibrating badly. making a gridding noise like it was grabbing something. I checked the impeller to see if it was loose, I notice a lots of play on the motor shaft. My Toro leaf blower started doing that after 20 years of use, not after 20 minutes of use. I'm back with Toro.

Used this blower only twice in less than a year and the blower motor has stopped working.

Poor design. Upper tube comes off after two minutes operation. Happened on two blowers.s

Junk

This is my second Worx mulcher /blower. My first one was great. When I finally wore it out I ordered the new model. The 1st time I used it it started to make a binding noise. At first I thought something got stuck inside. No, when I checked, it was all clear. Now it makes a "friction" noise. Doesn't sound good. I'm sure it will fail prematurely.

lasted about 5months, then burned through the side of the wire. Not the best quality.

What a waste !! Never ever buy it. Dont waste your money. It is a fire hazard. I was using to charge a battery and after couple of hours, I notice a smell. The wire was incredibly hot at certain portions of wire and was almost melted.

If you order this extension cable, I suggest you check it when you receive it. It never crossed my mind that it might be faulty. I just had a need for it and it doesn't work. I plugged an item into the socket and that works, but the extension cable does not. It's too late for me to return.

I got this for our electric lawn mower and snow blower 5 months ago. We have been hiring a snow removal service towards the end of the winter (got too fed up with the northeast winter), and our lawn is tiny and we have not been mowing it very diligently, so this cord has not been used much, maybe 10 times or less. However, when I take it out today, I found that the sheathing is already torn! The cord has been on a cord storage roller the whole time, and we are careful not to let it twist, unplugging and unwinding as it needed.I am just very disappointed by the quality of this. We had another outdoor cord that lasted many years, until someone accidentally short circuited it and melted the plug. Never have I seen the sheathing torn so easily - look for another brand unless you want to buy another one soon.

the outer sheathing is very brittle. first use i had it outside in the cold, and after being stepped on a handful of times, the outher orange sheathing has cracked off. kind of defeats the purpose of the thing.

I had the same issue after two years as been mentioned here - smoking from the end that you plug your appliance into. Happened first with my leaf blower then with my lawnmower.Buy the U.S. Wire product. Might cost a little more but it won't be a danger

I purchased this product to use with my worx blower mulcher. I did not like it because the hose it seemed longer in the picture but it is really too short. I am constantly moving the garbage can that the unit is mounted on and fighting the extension cord that gets tangled up in the hose and garbage can. The other problem is the cord that is used for the cover does not tighten enough to hold on to the garbage can. I finally had to buy a bungee cord and that help but for what I paid for it I can say it is just junk! Cant recommend this product.

Do not purchase unless you own a Word product to use it with , comeso with NO attachments , universal slave will not hold and does not work , and you can not purchase attachments , shows 4 additional attachment you do NOT get them with purchase of this product, and the leaf bag leaks and will not seal.

Doesn't fit all blowers despite the description. If you have an electric toro, you'll need to cable tie it on so that it won't come off.

Does not come with all the adapters pictured.

Won't stay connected to medium sized trash can to save my life; also disconnected from bottom of Black and Decker leaf vacuum via "universal" sleeve. May work better for vacuum brands that don't require the sleeve, so verify one of the included product-specific connectors works for your vacuum before buying.

I regret buying this. This comes with only one "universal" adapter. I have a Toro electric leaf blower. I believe the older model of Worx LeafPro came with several adapters, including an adapter for the Toro. This only comes with a drawstring sock-type attachment. You tighten it by ratcheting a lever. After putting it on the leaf blower and ratcheting it snug, I was unable to attach the leaf blower's vacuum attachment. I guess I needed to put that on first? Who knows. I went to unfasten the ratcheting universal adapter, to reposition it, and there was no way to loosen it. The instructions are very unclear (see attached photo)After studying the "instructions" again, I gathered one is supposed to pinch in the flexible plastic sides of the ratcheting device and push the notched strap in the opposite direction. One of the tabs broke off. (see photo) At this point, I had the adapter on and couldn't remove it to readjust it, nor could I slide it off. Now the blower was completely unusable...as a vacuum OR a blower.I researched every video I could find online. The WORX website was down, as well. Customer Service doesn't answer on the weekend. With the broken tab, and this ratcheting thing not able to back off and loosen in any way, the only way I could get it off was to cut it off, thus ruining the adapter (which was already broken at this point). But at least with it removed, I could reassemble the blower and use it to blow leaves.I am going to return this thing. It is the second Worx brand yard gadget I've purchased, and I hate them both.
