Overview of the Worx WG506
- Power: The WG506 is an electric blower made by Worx. It has a maximum air speed of 160 MPH and its nozzle can expel a max air volume of 160 cubic feet per minute (CFM).
- Power delivery: As it is a corded model, the blower needs to be plugged in to a power source in order for the 7.5 Amp engine to operate. Please note that some manufacturers don’t include the cord with the unit. If this is the case, or if you’re looking to buy a backup, please use our gauge calculator to ensure you’re buying the right cord for your blower.
- Cord Lock Mechanism: Corded power tools can sometimes inadvertently be unplugged during operation. The Worx WG506 prevents such accidents by featuring a cord lock mechanism.
- Handling: With its handheld design, this leaf blower was created with portability in mind. Most users will have no problem using it almost anywhere. Among other electric handheld blowers, the Worx WG506 can be considered light, weighing only 4.4 lbs.
- Speed Settings: Thanks to its 2 speed settings, the Worx WG506 allows the user to adjust the air output to the task in hand.
- Noise: With a decibel rating of 77 dB, the WG506 is neither louder nor quieter than its rivals in the electric handheld category.
