The Greenworks 40V lithium-ion platform can run more than 40 outdoor tools, like lawn mowers, blowers, string trimmers, chainsaws, hedge trimmers, and more. The 40V lithium-ion battery gives you the power you need, and it doesn’t fade or lose memory when it’s charged. The outdoor power equipment lets you work on up to half an acre with the 2Ah, 2.5Ah, 3Ah, 4Ah, 5Ah, and 6Ah batteries that are on the market. USB ports are built into the BAF701, BAF702, L-300, BAF704, BAF705, and L-600 batteries, so they can be used to charge phones, tablets, and other electronic devices on the go. It comes with a three-year tool and battery warranty to protect your money. The Greenworks 40V platform is made by Greenworks.
Because I love greenworks products as a background, let me say that I love them (not their customer service, check 1 star reviews on their other products to see what I mean). The first thing I bought from them was their 80v power snow shovel. It’s great if you live in a snow belt but don’t have a lot of space to clear. Coming from 12 and 20v tools, this was a big change. I bought most of their 80v tools (lawnmower, blower, chainsaw, string trimmer, and edger to date). It could be that I’m having trouble with this vacuum because it’s my first 40v tool and I’m used to their 80v tools.
Well, I’ll tell you that I was always looking for sales on the greenworks 80v snowthrower. I saw this 40v vacuum probably the day it came out, and I bought it. Because I had already bought into the 80v line, I wasn’t excited about having to buy and maintain a new battery size, but the sale was ridiculous.
There are two vacuum heads that can be stored in the vacuum itself, and the hose can be stored neatly (though it isn’t very long). The 40v battery is less than half the weight of the 80v monsters, which I really liked. Though the plastic is thin, the clips that hold the top vac unit to a collection base will wear out over time. It feels good, but I can see how the clips will break down over time. 40v batteries are much lighter than 80v ones. They also have a USB port built in so you can charge your phone and other things. All in all, the unboxing was good enough to get 5 stars.
Then I had to use this thing, which was a real shame (pun intended). I tried to make my own hydro set up, but it didn’t work. The drip set up didn’t work, and the drain tube got clogged. There was about 10 gallons of nut solution on the floor of the tent. It doesn’t matter that I had easy access to a plug. There’s something very important about being able to go cordless. Popped in the battery and it worked right away. .. except for one thing. This bad boy just doesn’t get me down. It’s not going well. Yes, it works, but there was very little liquid suction. People might not be able to get liquids with the vacuum heads they come with. It was hard to even pick up dry hydroton balls that were not wet. Maybe the 40v power source isn’t strong enough.
Though it did pick up some of the liquid and clay balls when it was right next to the suction head, the storage space for liquids is very small because the float dips low into the storage tank. This meant that the limited suction it had also meant that the tank had to be emptied a lot.
30 minutes into a very unsatisfying trip, things turned around (my tomatoes were also all dead, so maybe I was just in a bad mood).. I had enough and took my 12 gallon ridgid out of the closet. That thing costs half as much, but I think it has about five times as much suction power. As long as you don’t mind, you can use the squeegee head with the product, so that’s fine with me. Water was gone in less than a minute. As far away as a few feet away, hydroton beads were being pulled in by the wind. I didn’t have to empty the tank until the job was done. Finally, the plug-in ridgid is half the price of the greenworks vacuum, even at the ridiculously low sale price I was able to get it for.
Finally, I really want to like this thing. I’m sure I’ll find a use for it somewhere. (What a waste of money!?). But I can’t say that this is the best thing for you. If you want to be able to move around and you already have a plug-in shop vac, then maybe. You should buy two or three shop vacs for the same money (three at today’s price for this vacuum). Greenworks, if you’re listening, make an 80v version of this and I’d be willing to trade up.
