The Worx 40V is a cordless blower, vacuum, and mulcher in one unit, running on the Worx PowerShare battery platform that works across 140+ Worx tools. It's built for homeowners who want to eliminate raking and bagging in a single pass.
The unit requires two batteries to operate and draws power accordingly, so runtime on a single charge of both batteries is limited and larger properties may need additional batteries on hand.

When a Blower, Vacuum, and Mulcher Combo Makes Sense for Your Property
If you're managing a yard with heavy seasonal leaf drop and limited space for bags or debris piles, the 3-in-1 configuration on this unit addresses the full cleanup cycle in one tool. You blow debris into position, switch to vacuum mode without any tools, and the 2-stage impeller reduces the volume down to a 12-to-1 ratio before it reaches the collection bag.
The shoulder-strap bag keeps the collection off the ground so you can move continuously without stopping to hold or reposition a container. The blower tube's built-in wheel lets you roll it across hard surfaces rather than lifting and redirecting constantly.
For crawl spaces, recessed access areas, and tight spots where a corded blower can't reach, the cordless setup makes tasks that would otherwise be awkward or impossible straightforward to complete.
What to Expect from the Worx 40V 3-in-1 in Real Use
The vacuum and mulching functions perform well when the batteries are fully charged, and users report the collection bag and mulching ratio work as described on dry leaf material. Blowing performance is described as strong, and the brushless motor is a step up from older Worx corded and cordless blower generations.
Battery runtime is the most discussed limitation. At max speed in blower mode, users consistently report around 20 minutes of runtime per full charge of both batteries. ECO mode extends that somewhat, but users note ECO may not generate enough airflow for heavier debris.
Worx customer support has indicated expected runtime of 45 to 60 minutes under normal use conditions, and units showing substantially shorter life may be defective. Worx has a reputation for responsive replacement support in those cases.
The unit is heavier than a standard cordless blower due to the two-battery requirement and vacuum hardware. This is worth factoring in if you plan extended sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you use a single battery to run the Worx 40V blower?
No. The blower requires two batteries simultaneously, one inserted on each side of the unit, to operate. It will accept either 20V or 40V PowerShare batteries, but two must be present for the tool to function. This is important to plan for if you're adding this blower to an existing Worx battery collection.
Does the Worx PowerShare battery work with other Worx tools I already own?
Yes. The PowerShare platform is compatible across 140+ Worx tools, so the two 20V 4.0Ah batteries included with this unit will work in any Worx PowerShare tool you own. This also means you can use charged batteries from other Worx tools to keep the blower running while your primary batteries recharge, which is a practical way to manage runtime on larger jobs.
How does the tool-free mode conversion between blower and vacuum work?
Switching between blower and vacuum mode involves swapping the attached tube rather than using any fasteners or separate tools. The blower tube and the wheeled mulch and vacuum tube are separate attachments that connect to the unit and release without hardware. The process is designed to be done mid-job, though it does require you to stop working, detach one tube, and attach the other before continuing.
