Worx wx038 20v power share stick vac 25kpa powered brush head 2x battery extreme cordless hoover

[@thomasjacques5286]

My wife caught me using our $500 Dyson cordless vac in the garage, needless to say, that didn't go over very well. So I went out looking for a pre-owned Dyson and even they were all over $200. Having just bought some WORX lawn gear with the 20V battery system, I stumbled on the 20V Cordless Stick Vacuum. So I will buy a new one (tool only) for my garage. Thanks for confirming my choice.

I have several Works products. They all work as advertised. I Really want one of these!

Thank you so much for this detailed review. Wish you’d gone over the emptying part though. I do see a major problem which is that it really needs a hose attachment as that will solve the angle and maneuvering issues. Without a hose attachment it would be very difficult to use it in cramped spaces and your car. So unless Worx comes out with a hose attachment, this is a no deal for me.

Thanks for the review Mike. For a lightweight vacuum, using PowerShare batteries, it seems quite competent. Your wife did seem to struggle with the design on occasion, needing two hands for control, but I guess it is all down to familiarity. At its current price point I think it is a good buy.

I think it is the same with anything, once you are used to it it will be easier, the steering takes some getting used to, as does using the heads correctly, I think we just get complacent with cettain designs of things and sometimes struggle with change. Give it a few weeks and it will be second nature. Its just dropped in price too!!

Hi, thanks for the great overview. Do you by any chance have the weight of the handheld unit without the hose etc.? As you said it specifies 2.5kg, but that would be rather high for just the handheld part.. Thanks in advance :)

[@mikesptworld]

@@outlaw6313 I will weigh when I get home, I will give you main unit, head and pipe weights :-)

[@mikesptworld]

Head weight: 758g Main body no battery: 1104g Main body including battery: 1506g Tube: 249g 1x Wa3639 2ah battery as supplied with wx038: 402g 2513g total Inc battery 2111g total without battery 2264g without tube but including standard included battery - and head of course, the accessory heads weigh about 150g each.

​​@@mikesptworldWow thank you so much Mike, that's way more detailed than I thought! Surprisingly light at 1.5kg as handheld, that's Samsung/Dyson level light.. Really thank you a lot!

[@mikesptworld]

@outlaw6313 my pleasure, my theory is simple, weigh everything, tell you everything, it takes me an extra maybe 2 minutes at that time, but would take three maybe more days if you asked me to weigh something separately now. Plus it's value added interaction with my viewers - always give them more than they expect - never less than you could give them :-)

@@mikesptworld you're a smart man! I need programming colleagues like that.. 😄

Have you ever used anything other than a two amp battery on this because I have a four amp Worx. I tried to ask a couple times on Worx website but no one can really give me a straight answer. I ended up ordering it anyways and I’m just gonna try and see if 4 Ah will do it.

[@mikesptworld]

I have used a 4ah and a 6ah, they both fit and work, are rather heavy on the unit and compromise that ultralight feel - honestly the battery feels like the heaviest part - this weight is then doubled with a 4ah and a 6ah pack (weirdly they weigh similar weights - see my battery video for more details) the only down side is they don't fit in the upright charger slot with the 4ah pack however it does fit in the above charging slot though if you own a 4ah pack you likely own other worx tools so have a stand alone fast charger so this really is a matter of minor inconvenience.

[@lostintheclouds8719]

@@mikesptworld thank you for your reply. I’m glad to know that the other battery amps works. I have nitro share and I mostly have 40v 4ah batteries. But I also do have some 20V 2ah powershare ones too. I’m excited to try it. I’ve been using a handheld that only lasts for 20 minutes. I actually spend more time charging it than using it. The one I bought from worx is just the tool only because that’s the one that was on sale. I have more than a couple chargers and a few of the 4 Ah/2 Ah so I think I’ll be covered.

[@iancolbert7444]

It does not seem to be doing that well tbh. The Gtech multi or even my shark cordless looks like it could do a better job especially on the stairs. I think the ommission of a small power head is something to worry about as that is perfect for cars, stairs and upholstry. Maybe Worx can release one as a optional extra ?

[@nofyfb123]

Not the best but works. Why one star? It clearly states on the housing that the filter must be replaced every six months. But (BUT!!!) you won't be able to find that filter anywhere including worx's own site. In other words, it becomes unusable pretty soon.

[@teegees]

Seriously? That’s insane! Definitely a red flag. WTF Worx...
