Description
Overview of the Worx WG505
- Power: The WG505, manufactured by Worx, is an electric blower with a maximum air speed of 210 MPH and a maximum air volume rating of 350 CFM.
- Power delivery: As it is a corded model, the blower needs to be plugged in to a power source in order for the 12 Amp motor to operate. 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: Its handheld design ensures maximum portability, allowing users to effortlessly move and operate it virtually anywhere with ease. However, for an electric handheld blower, the Worx WG505 is heavier than most, weighing 9.5 lbs.
- Speed Settings: The Worx WG505 does not have multiple speed settings. Once the blower is turned on, it always operates at the same speed.
- Vacuum: In addition to its blowing capabilities, the WG505 boasts a vacuum function, making leaf cleanup a breeze as it neatly collects debris into a designated bag (11.2 gallon bag included).
- Mulching: With a mulching ratio of 16:1, this mulcher can reliably pulp 16 bags of waste (such as leaves and other debris) into 1 bag of mulch. The unit uses a metal impeller.
- Noise: Its noise level of 70 dB falls within the expected range for 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.

The Worx WG505's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Worx WG505 compare with similar leaf blowers.
- Upon exiting the nozzle, the air can reach speeds of up to 210 MPH, which is rather impressive for an electric handheld blower. If you wish to benefit from air expelled at the fastest possible speed, the Craftsman CMEBL7000 and its 260 MPH could be an option to consider.
- Its max air volume rating (350 cubic feet per minute) means it is really not the biggest air producer of electric handheld blowers. For the highest air volume, you may want to have a look at the EGO LBX1000, which boasts with 1000 CFM.
Here's a list of the most popular specific comparisons:
