Greenworks 40V Blower-Vac Upgrade - Part 4

I've been using my Greenworks 40V Blower-Vac for three years now and it's showing its age. The membrane switches to turn it on and off are starting to fail making it hard to turn it on and off! It's also not very ergonomic to use the vacuum. You have to carry the bag over your shoulder and lift the vacuum nozzle to move it around. I like to use the vacuum as much as possible since it creates free mulch to use in your yard or compost bin.

Greenworks has come out with an upgraded version and I'm hoping it solves the problems I'm having. They have a version that doesn't include the batteries & charger (which I already have) so that will save some money. I'm going to try and save a little more ($15) by buying a "used, like new" one off of Amazon. That's pretty safe since they have easy returns.

This 4-part video series documents my experiences with upgrading.

Part 1 - Shows problems with the existing Blower-Vac and unboxing the "Used - like New" upgraded version. Is it really *Like New*?
Part 2 - Assembly of "Actually New" replacement I had to order. Even that had a problem that was easy to fix so I didn't have to return that too! Also discussion of improvements over the old version.
Part 3 - Going over the controls and using it in the yard as a blower and a vacuum.
Part 4 - More yard usage and the *must get* upgrade (shoulder strap) I had to buy to make it more ergonomic for blowing and vacuuming.
