Description
Overview of the Worx WG505
The Worx WG505
- Power: The Worx WG505 is an electric blower with a maximum air volume rating of 350 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and an air speed of 210 MPH.
- Power delivery: Being that it is a corded blower with a 12 Amp motor, the WG505 requires a steady power source and must be plugged in when using it. It's important to note that some blowers are sold without a power cord. If you need to acquire one, please make use of our gauge calculator to determine the correct cord for your blower.
- Cord Lock Mechanism: This unit has a handy 'cord lock' feature, which prevents it from being unplugged during use.
- Handling: Ideal for those seeking a compact and portable leaf blower, this model provides ease of handling and use, making it a convenient choice for any task. However, for an electric handheld blower, the Worx WG505 is heavier than most, weighing 9.5 lbs.
- Speed Settings: The WG505 by Worx has just one speed setting.
- Vacuum: Not just a blower, the WG505 offers the convenience of a built-in vacuum feature, allowing users to tidy up their outdoor spaces by effortlessly collecting leaves and debris into an attached bag (11.2 gallon bag included).
- Mulching: Its mulching ratio is 16:1, meaning that it will turn 16 bags of soft debris into one bag of mulch. The unit uses a metal impeller.
- Noise: At 70 dB, the noise produced by the WG505 is in line with what you'd expect from other electric handheld blowers.
- TriVac: This Worx blower is called a TriVac, which is one of the names Worx gives to its power tools that function as a 3-in-1 leaf blower, vacuum, and mulcher.
