Expert Reviews


What reviewers liked

With the blower tubes in the same position, the Worx pushed leaves 2 feet farther than most other blowers we tested.
Its variable speed control lets you complete jobs that require finesse as well as tasks that demand a strong blast of air by simply turning the on-handle dial.
The Worx Turbine model plugs into an extension cord and delivers air at speeds up to 110 miles per hour. More surprisingly, though, is the fact that this leaf blower moves air at an impressive 600 CFM—which is enough to corral even wet leaves and gravel. The three speed options let you choose between low, medium, and high operation.
The Worx Turbine WG520 is quite a powerful machine for its size. It has an excellently designed Hyper-stream nozzle that gives you very good air volume.
Relatively quiet for a blower, with no hearing protection needed while operating.

What reviewers didn't like

The biggest downside to the Worx WG520 is that the air intake is at the rear, so for all the air that’s blasting out the nozzle end, an equal amount is being sucked in through the back.
However, its 12-amp brushed motor makes the leaf blower quieter than comparable corded blowers.
However, the noise volume increases significantly on high, which is to be expected for a unit with this much power.
This model had no discernible flaws in its performance.
