Zoom on the Worx WG520
The Worx WG520
With its corded electric handheld design, the Worx WG520 is a good match for homeowners with a patio or small yard that does not require frequent or large-scale cleanup.
It features a maximum air speed of 110 MPH and a maximum air volume rating of 600 cubic feet per minute (CFM). In practice, it can shift small amounts of leaves and light debris on yard sections, patios, or walkways.
This corded blower is powered by a 12-amp motor, providing continuous operation, though movement is limited by the length of the power connection. Note that some manufacturers don't include the cord with the unit. If that's the case, or if you're looking to buy a backup, use our gauge calculator to ensure you get the right cord. It has a built-in cord lock to keep the blower connected and prevent interruptions during use.
Sometimes you just need a little more power, while other times you may want a little more precision when moving leaves and debris. That’s why the WG520 features variable speed settings for added control.
This handheld blower weighs 6.4 lbs and can be steered with one hand for focused leaf and debris removal.

The Worx WG520's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Worx WG520 compare with similar leaf blowers.
- The Worx WG520 fits squarely within the average weight range for corded blowers, at 6.4 lbs. Should weight be a deciding factor, the Sun Joe SBJ597E is worth a look at just 3.9 lbs.
- The air speed of the Worx WG520 maxes out at 110 MPH. While more than adequate for many jobs, its air speed is below average among other electric handheld blowers. For the fastest air speed in this category, you may want to consider the Craftsman CMEBL7000, which can expell air at a velocity that can reach 260 MPH.
- The WG520 is powerful, with an airflow rating of 600 CFM (cubic feet per minute). This is certainly on the high end compared to other corded blowers. If air volume is important to you, the Worx Turbine WG521, with 800 CFM, could be in your good books.

Questions & Answers
Is a second handle available for the bottom of the WG520 blower. My wife says she needs one. There is a key hole slot on the bottom for something. (Asked September 24, 2020)
We are not aware of the existence of secondary handles. The key-hole shaped cutout at the bottom gives you the flexibility to use what you have – hooks, bolts, or nails – to hang your blower on the wall.
