The Worx WG518

  • Power: This electric leaf blower features a maximum air volume rating of 400 CFM and an air speed rating of 250 MPH.
  • Power delivery: Being that it is a corded blower with a 12 Amp motor, the WG518 requires a steady power source and must be plugged in when using it.

  • Handling: Being handheld, this leaf blower is inherently easier to manage and transport compared to larger alternatives like backpack or walk-behind models.

  • Speed Settings: With its 2 speed settings, the WG518 ensures adaptable airflow output, catering to varying needs with ease.
  • Vacuum: With its versatile design, the WG518 serves as both a blower and a vacuum, ensuring efficient leaf management by swiftly gathering debris into a collection bag (11.2 gallon bag included).
  • Mulching: Its impressive mulching ratio of 16:1 allows this mulcher to compress 16 bags of leaves and debris into just one bag of mulch. The unit uses a metal impeller.
  • Noise: At 82 dB, the noise produced by the WG518 is in line with what you'd expect from other electric handheld blowers.

The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Worx WG518 compare with similar leaf blowers.

  • Forced air exiting this blower has been clocked at a max speed of 250 MPH. This puts the WG518 ahead of the pack as far as air speed is concerned in electric handheld blowers.

  • With a maximum airflow of 400 CFM (cubic feet per minute), this model falls squarely within the average range for electric handheld blowers. If air volume is important to you, the EGO LBX1000, with 1000 CFM, could be in your good books.

    This blower is very powerful I use it in a commercial setting to clean the floor from grain and dust strewn about. I notice the blower whole system seems a little fragile but I love it every time I turn it on to clean the floor. After one year of use it seems to not work anymore not sure what is the problem will try fix the issue maybe is brushes maybe the switch.

    + PROS: Lots of oomph
    - CONS: The fragile body and components for commercial use.
