Unleash a new level of landscaping with the Worx Nitro 80V Cordless Backpack Leaf Blower. Delivering impressive 80V battery power, this leaf blower breezes through cleanup and offers an innovative backpack design for comfort.

Break free from the hassles of gas-powered blowers for lawn care with 80V of power. It comes from (4) 20V Power Share PRO batteries that optimize power, resist damage, and stay cool for extended runtimes. They're also conveniently compatible with 140+ cordless tools within the Power Share platform from Worx. Reach a max runtime of 230 min on low mode, 35 min on high, and 21 min on TURBO.

Adapting the electric leaf blower cordless power is easy with features like the Variable Air-Control Nozzle. With Variable Air-Control you can seamlessly switch between Volume and Speed Modes to fit specific jobs. Volume Mode reaches up to 800 CFM to clear big lawns fast, while Speed Mode delivers up to 150 MPH to easily move stubborn wet leaves and other heavy debris. That robust output is enhanced with the Sonic TURBINE fan that takes in more air to blast out a forceful 22-Newton jet stream to confidently conquer the most challenging tasks.

Power meets endurance with the Brushless Motor 2.0 that delivers 40% more power and a 10% longer runtime than standard brushless motors. Plus, it gives 70% more and a 10X longer life than brushed motors.

Simplify battery management with BASECAMP: An innovative compartment that holds all (4) batteries and connects to the backpack. You can use it to easily charge all batteries at once or interchange it with any other 80V equipment from Worx. Paired with the backpack, BASECAMP takes all the battery weight off the blower to enhance control and be easier on the arms.

For even more ease of use, this battery leaf blower features Variable Speed Control Plus TURBO. Use it to refine the air speeds to fit the task—such as using lower speeds for gentle sweeping or powering up with TURBO mode to blast through heavy-duty work.

Title: Light weight and powerful
Review: This is an excellent battery-operated leaf blower. It's lightweight and exceptionally powerful. Yes, it does go through batteries, but the batteries are rechargeable. Recommend having two sets of batteries, one set on the leaf blower and the other on the battery charger.

Title: Great Leaf Blower
Review: I was concerned about the weight, but it was balanced very well. It did not tire me at all. I only had to use the blower on number 2 to take care of my leaves. Even when you get a bunch of leaves bunched up in front of you, number 2 handled it very well. I am very impressed with this blower. It was a great buy.

Title: 20v vs 40v: What are the differences?
Review: Tried out both the 20v and 40v. What is different between them:- Weight: 20v is amazingly light (especially when using a 2Ah battery). With 2x 4Ah nitro batteries the 40v is significantly heavier. The blowers themselves are same weight, it's all in the batteries. I was a bit disappointed how much heavier the 40v was. My arm got tired faster on the same task/duration (on different days) with the 40v. Not a deal breaker for me though.- Air Speed: Both have a thumb wheel to control air flow but they work differently. 20v is gradual from off to max uninterrupted (note, the amazon listing now says the 20v has 2 levels, maybe the 20v I got a month ago was last year's model?). 40v has 4 distinct levels: 0ff-1-2-3. Levels 1,2, 3 are marked on the wheel and you can't go between them. So far, this difference is manageable although I prefer the 20v gradual approach. What is way different is the 40v has a Turbo push button that pushes more air (think level 4). The button doesn't lock down, it has to be continuously held down. The extra air flow strength is partly why I wanted the 40v over the 20v for fall leaves... but the prospect of having to hold the Turbo button down when moving large piles of leaves is has me concerned. Button should lock down, or be moved to being level 4 on the thumb wheel. I was not able to test that the 40v on max (without Turbo) has stronger airflow than the 20v on max. Anecdotally the 40v on max seemed a bit stronger than the 20v.- Batteries: I bought 20v leafjet with no battery. I tested it with 2Ah and 4Ah and loved how light the 20v unit was with the 2Ah. It seems that when buying leafjet with one or two batteries they ship with the same 4Ah. So likely no difference here but I can't tell.A note on battery life: I am able to get all blowing done post mowing/trimming with the 20v using 2Ah (used 1 of 3 bars) and 40v using 4Ah Pro (used 1 of 5 bars). The real test on battery life will be in the fall when blowing leaves all day long... hence why I got the 40v. In addition to the extra air flow power, I need long battery life and also wanted 2 more 4Ah batteries. Cheapest way to get leafjet and 2 extra 4Ah was to buy the 40v with 4Ah batteries. I've not seen an option online to buy 40v leafjet without batteries.Note on the battery type: I already had a Worx mower (WG743) and the 4Ah Pro batteries that came with the 40v leafJet Nitro are different than the "regular" 4Ah mower batteries. See picture. The Leafjet Nitro 4Ah Pro battery has a 5-bar power test whereas the "regular" 4Ah from the mower has a 3-bar power test. Interestingly, the WG743 mower has a 5-bar power test on it, just like the LeafJet 40v. Since both the Pro and "regular" batteries are 20v 4Ah, I expect they will perform about the same. Both sets of batteries came with the exact same charger. All batteries work in all my Worx tools.Overall, I am keeping the 40v despite the extra weight and annoying must continuously press down Turbo button for max air flow. The extra battery life and getting 2 more 4Ah batteries are worth it to me. I now have 2x 2Ah batteries for the one battery 20v tools (air pump, weeder, drill/driver, shear, etc.) and 4x 4Ah batteries for the 40v tools (mower, leafjet). This means I can have a replacement set of batteries on the charger while using any tool. This should alleviate running out of power. Worx products are new to me in 2021 and so far they have been awesome.

Title: They Worx..... and really good
Review: For starters, I got to know the Worx brand, thanks to Costco. At one point, a Black and Decker cordless drill had malfunctioned, so I bought one that they sell on sale at Costco. It seemed to me to be of quite good construction and I loved that the battery lasted much longer than that of the other drill. That was around 2017. And yes, I still have the batteries and they work perfectly.Due to the pandemic, I have to stay home longer, and I decide to take care of the garden myself. I don't live in the USA, but in Costa Rica, a country with a tropical climate, so the garden tools I had to buy were for weekly use (here everything grows very quickly in the rainy season, which is 6-7 months a year) , and that the purchase would not leave my wallet at zero, since all this had to be brought via courier from the USA, so the final price for me is much higher than the purchase on Amazon, since I have to include freight and formalities.This led me to Worx. I remembered the different tools that I bought after that brand, and that they all operate with the same batteries, and when I noticed that they had a 20V and 40V system, but using the same batteries that I already have, it seemed to me that it was a good alternative.About this blower. Basically it is very powerful, very agile. It allows to move multiple dry or wet leaves of a concrete road that measures about 100m (300ft), and it does it with a single charge. Or when I use to blow under the multiple trees, it does it without any problem. Now, I achieve that at speed 1 and 2, with some bursts in turbo, since the 4A batteries it comes with run out in about 10 minutes if I use them in turbo all the time (maybe even less). The advantage is that the blower has enough power and air flow to achieve the task that I occupy. Would you trade something? Without a doubt, yes, and it seems to me that they should send those 40V tools with 5A batteries, not with 4A, because the total charge lasts about 20 minutes, which is relatively little. At least on my property, which has about 1 hectare of land (approx 1/2 acre), this blower would not allow me to use it on the entire property without having about 5 extra battery sets on hand, since there is a lot of vegetation. which releases leaves, flowers and the weather makes it all humid most of the time.One of the uses that I give it the most, ironically, is to dust the furniture and the floor of the terrace, and even the cars (so they stay clean longer), since everything is indoors but open to the wind, so the Dust settles a lot when there is wind. Likewise, my dog ​​sheds hair, which this blower sends it away from traffic areas without any effort.

Title: Great Blower!
Review: Wish I had before and after pics. My back lawn usually takes 5-6 hours to do manually, even with the city picking them up from the street so we just gotta get them out to the street. I pushed the leaves up against the fence then mass loaded them into the city trash bins to dump into the street. Finished in 1 hour and the charge lasted me the whole project.The first time I used the blower I used a lot of turbo and it only lasted about 15 mins. I thought well that's kinda poopy. After the 2nd charge it went for much longer! Overall very happy with the time savings I've accomplished which makes the purchase worthwhile for sure.

Title: Great one compared to my B&D 20V one
Review: Extremely strong blower, one downside is that you need strong two batteries (my 2amps are now enough just ordered 6amps will see how it goes)

Title: Batteries you have to buy separately and they only last about two minutes
Review: This product works great until the battery’s die, which usually happens within the first one or two minutes. When I first bought the item, I had no idea that batteries were bought separately when I purchased the item separately. The batteries literally only worked for one minute after charging for four or five days.

Title:
Review: This cordless leaf blower is amazing.I don't doubt if you had one in each hand you could leave the ground and buzz the neighborhood - it is that powerful. Caution: Do not point it at anyone when it is active. I have no doubt it could do damage if something is in its stream.It is an amazing piece of outdoor kit.I actually look forward to blowing something off the driveway or deck or out of the gardens and it would probably handle light snow just fine. Not too many tools make me smile but this one does.So a couple of things - it is expensive. Yes. But it is so much better than anything I have used up until now. And it takes two 20V batteries. Both have to be charged for it to work. I was worried about the weight but the unit is very well balanced. After a while, it does get a little heavy but by that time I am usually done.And speaking of run time. I have never had it run out of battery. I have always been able to complete the job. So I would guess you can get 30 minutes give or take out of it. It would depend on the speed you are running it.It is expensive, but worth every penny. A solid buy.

Review: The description shows it can use 20V power share batteries but it doesn’t. It requires a different type of battery than shown in the advertisement. Highly disappointed

Review: UPDATEI’ve contacted Amazon and they arranged an immediate refund and return, even though I bought this 2 months ago. I’ve also asked them to inform Worx to stop selling this product in the UK.If you made the same mistaken purchase as me - contact Amazon for a full refund. It’s quite hard to get to chat to a human being, but when you get there it’s worth it!__________I have the Worx lawnmower that I’m very happy with, so bought this leaf blower to be compatible with the batteries. As that was how it was advertised.They don’t fit the batteries and now I have a useless expensive bit of kit that it appears it’s too late to return.Very unhappy

Review: My UK Worx batteries work well with my other Worx tools. This one only accepts US batteries, so don’t buy unless you have US batteries which are different from what we have in the UK. Worx and Amazon are aware of this, but continue to sell on Amazon UK.
