600 cfm (Cubic Feet per Minute) is more air output than any other electric blower on the market. You get the widest, most forceful stream to clear your yard, deck, and driveway of leaves and debris. Designed for larger lawns, or anyone who just wants a really powerful blower at a price that’s impossible to argue with.

This 12A Electric TURBINE Blower from Worx will get the job done, and then some.The TURBINE design gives you gas-like power without any of the side-effects of using gasoline. It’s less expensive, less messy, smells better, and runs much quieter. Its 2-speed control lets you operate it at 60 mph for clearing out tight corners, or 110 mph for when you get out on the open lawn. And the hyper-stream air nozzle is nice when you need even a little more for the tougher jobs. Yet all that tech is lightweight, only 6.4 lbs, so anyone can operate it with just one hand. You don’t need any tools to put it together. And the hassle-free cord retainer prevents accidental disconnection while you’re out in the yard.

There’s an awful lot to like about this blower. Even Consumer Reports named it a Best Buy. If you’ve got a big property, it’s a no-brainer. And it’s a smart choice even if you don’t. Stop making raking the leaves such a chore and get a 600 cfm – 12A Electric TURBINE Blower.
TURBINE FAN TECH: Worx engineers figured out how to get a jet engine-type motor inside of a leaf blower. Super powerful, yet not so loud that you’ll think it’s getting ready for takeoff.
TWICE AS FAST AS PRO BLOWERS: Professional-grade gas blowers rely on outdated tech. The Turbine is cutting edge, and spins twice as fast as the blowers used by commercial grounds crews.
2 SPEEDS FOR DIFFERENT JOBS: Go slow for pavement or tight corners. On the open lawn, switch to speed 2 and see what the 110 mph Turbine can do.
600 CFM: We named the Turbine 600 after the 600 Cubic Feet per Minute of high-capacity air volume that shoots out of its wide-mouth nozzle. That’s a wide, strong path of air that allows you to clear large areas with fewer passes.
DO IT YOURSELF. DO IT BETTER. DO IT WITH WORX: WORX tools are engineered with cutting-edge technology, and above modern efficiency standards, so you can build a cost-effective tool collection that’s been designed to last.
HYPER-STREAM AIR NOZZLE: We didn’t just stop designing once we were finished with the Turbine engine. We added an attachable nozzle, optimized to direct all that volume in a concentrated area for tougher jobs.
ONE-HANDED OPERATION: All the power and only 6.4 lbs. The Turbine 600 is designed to be controlled with just one hand. The ergonomic design funnels the wind in a way that’s easy to handle.
2-PIN POWER PLUG & CORD RETAINER: This electrical blower has a 2-pin plug compatible with an extension cord for extended reach, extension cord is sold separately. The attached cord retainer prevents disconnection if snagged.

Title: Buy this one, forget the rest
Review: This is one of the most powerful handheld electric blowers available. If you're serious about getting the job done quickly, this is the baseline. The next power tier is a gas backpack blower at five times the cost, then an even more powerful backpack, and then four-digit specialty tools from companies like Billy Goat. I bought the Worx because I didn't want to spend three hours raking a half-acre of grass.My trial run was an hour of continuous use with matted wet leaves and driveway sand. It fast became apparent that to be efficient, a blower has to move leaves without being on top of them. Blowing from six inches just makes everything scatter as piles build up. You end up crisscrossing the section you just cleared to deal with the strays. The further your breeze carries, the more direct the flight path of the leaves. This range, and the ability to scour stubborn leaves from the ground, comes from air speed (MPH). At the same time, though, you need a big enough wall of air to move more than one leaf at once. That comes from the size of your pipe opening. The two multiplied together determine your total air volume over a duration, or CFM (cubic feet per minute).In physics-land (with spherical cows and turbulence-free pipes, spared from the icy hand of marketing), CFM is the best measure of a blower's work capacity. MPH, you can change by varying the size of the pipe; a smaller pipe makes a smaller column of air moving at a faster speed (and more impressive advertising), which is why a lot of consumer-class blowers have tiny nozzles. (I'm looking at you, Sun Joe SBJ601E.) But there's a cost to adding MPH: it kills efficiency. The energy to move a volume of air goes up with the square of speed, so if you design your blower for 160 MPH, you'll get half the CFM of a 110 MPH blower from the same power. Something to mull if the blower is powered by a battery.Still, if you know either speed or CFM, and the size of the pipe, you can calculate the other (assuming the manufacturer isn't misleading you by quoting CFM at the fan and MPH at the end of the pipe). To get CFM from MPH and the radius of a round pipe, the calculation is (radius^2)*(mph)*(1.92). That's (1.69^2)(110)(1.92) for this blower's 110 MPH and 3 3/8" pipe, with the result arriving right at the rated number of 600 CFM.Anyway, the Worx has enough volume and speed to blow mounds of wet leaves from six feet and dry ones from ten or more. It's impressively powerful. I was switching arms every few minutes as they wore out from the backward force. Only some really baked-on mud would have benefited from a pipe-reducer attachment. Thanks to ape-like proportions or the secure fit of my spandex leaf-blowing onesie, clothing suction from the rear-directed air intake hasn't been a bother.ALTERNATIVES:I almost bought Toro's highly-rated "Ultra" combination blower to minimize bagging, but the vacuum functionality didn't seem that useful in videos. Maybe it'd be adequate to clean an enclosed deck area or a small yard with a scattering of dry leaves. For a larger yard, it looks like a time sink relative to a standalone mulcher. Likewise the blowing capacity, which, at 410 CFM, trails the Worx by quite a lot.Cordless tools were also tempting. There's a 20V DeWalt people seem to like that's rated at (a perhaps optimistic) 400 CFM. Because it's a similar fan design to the Worx, we can compare power directly. DeWalt's standard battery is 20V (or so we'll stipulate; it's closer to 18V under load) and 5 amp-hours, so we're looking at 100 watt-hours total output. 15 minutes of runtime translates to a sustained draw, best case, of 400W. Assuming 90% efficiency in the brushless motor, that's 360W actually moving air. (When new. Expect a performance drop over time and battery replacements by year three.)Compare this Worx: 12 amps at 120V equates to 1440 watts sustained, in this case feeding a 2-pole AC/DC motor that's perhaps 55% efficient. 12A is close to the maximum a device can reasonably expect from a typical 15A household socket. Even with nearly half of our power lost to heat and noise, the remaining 790W is over double what the DeWalt can manage. It's no coincidence that 600 CFM cordless blowers (Greenworks and Kobalt come to mind) have 80V/2.5Ah batteries with twice the DeWalt's capacity. Their runtime at full tilt? The same fifteen minutes, with three extra pounds to lug around from a chunk of lithium that costs more than the blower it attaches to.And what of gas blowers? The handheld versions have around 1 HP with CFM from 450 to 500. They're usually tuned for higher MPH than the Worx, so they're likely to be a little better with wet leaves and a little worse with dry ones. Backpack blowers up the displacement and make between 1.5 and 5 horsepower. The models that you might find on the back of a professional landscaper can manage nearly 1000 CFM with speeds around 200 MPH. That's a considerable difference, but you pay for it at the checkout and in weight: figure 10 pounds or so for a handheld (relative to 7ish for this unit, plus some cord) and 20 or more for a backpack.As of mid-2020, two other corded blowers are worth a hard look: Toro's F700 and Worx's WG521. The Toro arrived first in 2019 with a hefty 720 CFM rating, a bigger two-arm handle, and a better cord retention mechanism. The WG521 is the response: 800 CFM and 135 MPH (claimed) from a ~4" nozzle, albeit still intended for one arm. All three blowers are beastly and often close in price; pick whichever best channels your inner Tim Allen.ACCESSORIES:A motor this powerful benefits from a thick (low gauge) cord for longer runs. You lose a bit of performance with thinner cord. The generic orange 50-foot extension everyone has is 16-gauge. Feeding a 12A load for 50 feet, it'll have a voltage drop of about 5V. Heavier 14-gauge loses 2.5V on the same run, and industrial 12-gauge, only 1.5V. The scale is linear, so if you double up that 16-gauge cord for a 100-foot run, you'll lop off 10V.How's that play out here? From a short and fat cable (that the cheesy plastic strain-relief piece won't actually accommodate; just tie an overhand knot over the two plugs instead), we'd expect a 1440W draw (12A * 120V, or a bit less because the house wiring itself has some drop). Losing 5V drops the total to 1380W. That's about what I found when I tested the Worx with a watt meter.12ag / 3 ft = 1423W14ag / 100 ft = 1352W16ag / 50 ft = 1351W16ag / 50 ft + 14ag / 100 ft = 1280WWith the progressive thumb dial at the lowest setting, minimum draw was 260W.For shorter runs, disconnect extensions you don't actively need. Every cable sheds a percentage of the energy it carries to heat. As above, skinny cables lose more. Coiled on the ground and coupled with a high-load device like the Worx, they can build up enough heat to start melting insulation, which tends to cause sheepish expressions and insurance claims.This blower is also loud enough to merit hearing protection. On an A-weighted scale (approximating human hearing), measured outdoors from three feet, it makes 82 dB on low and 91 dB on high. Indoors or near a wall, volume jumps by 10 dB and subjectively doubles. While the sound character emulates a vacuum, my Shark only measures 72 dB indoors; you'd have to run over a rat's nest of lamp cords to make one this loud. Amazon has a number of comfortable muffs for less than a Jackson that'll keep your ears intact.You can find electric blowers with more toys, but few that'll get the job done as fast as this one. It's a bargain at the asking price. I'll update if I catch any reliability problems.

Title: This blower has some power.
Review: Let me tell you that I have rock desert landscaping. I have the worst tree that drops these twisted seed pods that get caught in the rocks. I tried a couple cordless blowers and they ran out of battery life too quick . They also lacked the power to clear the seed pods. Not a problem with the Worx .blower. Get the right tool for the job and it makes the job simple.. The Worx blower is definitely the right tool. Great price, lightweight balanced well and not too loud. Adjustable air flow dial.

Title: Very good, low budget blower.
Review: For the price, this blower is very good. I had a WORX blower and mulcher, previously, that worked well, but this blower does the one thing better. I do miss the mulcher, but not the extra weight. This stand-alone blower is about 3 pounds lighter and more powerful; though, the all-in-one had more precise airflow, for the few small spots that it was beneficial for me.The build quality is so-so on this blower. It lacks what we all appreciate in our tools and devices—that sharp snap and click and clean fit when putting the pieces together. The hose attaches to the body with an imperfect and never fully flush connection. It's not going to go anywhere—it does have a latch. The pieces are not as rugged and solid as my previous WORX all-in-one, but I can guess that's what helps reduce the weight. Speaking of, I had considered the WORX WG547, cordless blower, for the weight reduction and convenience of no cord, but I was concerned with loss of power, limited usage time, and higher cost. After using this WG520 for the first time, I do desire a lighter machine, but I think I would miss the extra power and limitless usage time. If budget was not an issue, I probably would've gone with the WG546—which is a step up from the cordless WG547 I was considering—with an extra battery; but that is 3-4 times the cost of this WG520. But even that blower could not match the power of this one. It's worth noting that that power comes from a large air intake on the back that can suck in loose clothing.Cost was the number one priority for me; so I was pleasantly surprised when I found that on this low-budget machine there are variable speeds, ranging between the low to high speeds. If cost is the number one priority for you as well, without having to lose too much power capability, I can easily recommend this WG520 WORX blower.
