Quick verdict
The WORX Nitro WG543 is the best all-round WORX blower for most yards. Its variable nozzle switches between 410 CFM volume and 130 MPH speed modes, it weighs just 3.8 pounds, and it runs on the same PowerShare batteries as your other WORX tools.
WORX Cordless Leaf Blower
The WG547 uses WORX's turbine fan to reach 360 CFM at up to 75 MPH, with 2-speed control and a light 4.4-pound weight including the battery. It ships with a 20V battery and charger and runs on the PowerShare platform shared across 140-plus WORX tools. It is a simple, lightweight choice for driveways and everyday sweeping.

Why you should trust this guide
WORX offers a deep blower lineup across its 20V and 40V PowerShare platforms, and the model names alone do little to explain how they differ. I wrote this guide to line up the most relevant WORX blowers on the specs that actually change your experience: CFM, MPH, weight, and which battery platform they use. Because WORX leans heavily on battery sharing, the platform question is as important as raw power for anyone who already owns WORX tools.
I have not run each of these WORX blowers across a season, so I compare them on WORX’s published figures rather than claiming test results I do not have. The meaningful decisions here are whether you want a simple single-speed handheld or a two-mode Nitro that trades between volume and speed, and whether the 20V line has enough power for your yard or you should step up to 40V. That is exactly what the picks above sort out.
How we evaluated
My first criterion was matching airflow to the job. CFM moves volume for clearing wide open areas, while MPH concentrates force to lift wet leaves, and WORX’s Nitro models let you switch between the two. I compared both figures across the lineup rather than fixating on a single number.
The second criterion was platform and convenience. I noted which blowers run on the 20V versus 40V PowerShare batteries, whether a battery is included or the tool is bare, and how much each weighs, since a lighter tool changes how long you can work comfortably. Every point here is drawn from the WORX listings.
What to look for
- PowerShare platform: Confirm whether the blower uses 20V or 40V batteries and whether you already own them.
- CFM for open areas: Higher air volume, from 360 up to 780 CFM here, clears wide spaces faster.
- MPH for tough debris: Higher airspeed helps move wet, matted leaves off hard surfaces.
- Single-speed or Nitro two-mode: Nitro models trade between a volume mode and a speed mode via a variable nozzle.
- Weight: From 2.7 pounds bare up to about 6.8 pounds, weight drives comfort on long jobs.
- Battery included: Some kits include batteries while the WG545.9 is a bare tool.
- Noise: The 40V WG582 is rated at a quiet 57 dB for noise-sensitive areas.
How we test
We base every pick on real-world use, published manufacturer specifications and verified owner feedback. We compare the tools on the things that actually matter for your lawn, power, runtime, cut quality, build and value, and we never accept payment for a ranking. When we have not used a specific model first-hand, we say so.

What to look for
Pick your PowerShare platform
Most WORX blowers here run on 20V PowerShare batteries shared across 140-plus tools, while the WG582 uses the separate 40V line. If you already own WORX batteries, staying on the matching platform saves money and simplifies charging.
Volume versus speed modes
The Nitro models add a variable nozzle that switches between a high-CFM volume mode for wide areas and a high-MPH speed mode for wet leaves. Simpler models fix one output, so decide whether that flexibility is worth it.
Match airflow to your yard
The 360 to 410 CFM handhelds suit small and mid yards, while the 620 CFM Nitro and 780 CFM 40V units are for large lawns and heavier leaf loads. Buying more airflow than you need mostly adds weight.
Weight and comfort
WORX blowers range from a 2.7-pound bare tool up to about 6.8 pounds. A lighter blower is easier to swing one-handed for frequent short cleanups, while the heavier units earn their weight only on big jobs.
Kit versus bare tool
Several WORX blowers include a battery and charger, but the WG545.9 is sold bare. If you already own PowerShare batteries a bare tool is cheaper; otherwise choose a kit so you can use it out of the box.
Our verdict
The WORX Nitro WG543 is the best all-round WORX blower for most yards. Its variable nozzle switches between 410 CFM volume and 130 MPH speed modes, it weighs just 3.8 pounds, and it runs on the same PowerShare batteries as your other WORX tools.
FAQs
The WORX Nitro WG543 is the best all-round pick. Its variable nozzle switches between 410 CFM volume and 130 MPH speed modes, it weighs just 3.8 pounds, includes a 4.0Ah battery, and runs on the shared PowerShare platform, covering most home yard tasks.
Both Nitro blowers offer volume and speed modes, but the WG585 is stronger at 620 CFM and 165 MPH versus the WG543's 410 CFM and 130 MPH. The WG585 is heavier and better for large lawns, while the WG543 is lighter for everyday use.
The 20V models share the PowerShare platform used by 140-plus WORX tools, so batteries swap freely. The 40V WG582 uses a separate 40V PowerShare line, so confirm which platform your existing batteries belong to.
For small and mid yards with typical leaf loads, yes. The 20V handhelds run 360 to 620 CFM, which handles everyday cleanup. For large lawns or heavy wet leaves, the 40V WG582 at 780 CFM gives more headroom.
The WG545.9 multi-tool is the lightest at 2.7 pounds as a bare tool, followed by the 3.8-pound Nitro WG543. Lighter blowers are easier to control one-handed, which helps during frequent short cleanups.
