Zoom on the Worx WG518
The Worx WG518
The Worx WG518 is a corded electric handheld blower that is best suited to homeowners with smaller home areas like patios, walkways, or compact front and back lawns under a quarter acre.
It delivers up to 400 CFM of air volume and 250 MPH of air speed. In practice, this blower should move scattered leaves across yard areas and patios with concentrated airflow.
Powered by a 12-amp motor, the blower delivers constant runtime, although the cord limits the extent of movement. Note that the power cord might not be included with the blower. If you need one, use our gauge calculator.
Not all jobs need full power. The WG518 has 2 speed settings so, you can blow more or less air from the blower depending on the job.
Weighing 7.5 lbs, this handheld unit can be guided with one hand to direct airflow where needed.
The WG518 can also work as a vacuum, allowing users to gather leaves into a detachable bag (11.2 gallon bag included). Building on the vacuum setting, this blower’s 16:1 mulching ratio efficiently converts 16 bags of leaves into a single bag of mulch during collection. The unit uses a metal impeller.

The Worx WG518's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Worx WG518 compare with similar leaf blowers.
- Compared to its counterparts, the Worx WG518 has a fairly standard weight for a corded blower at 7.5 lbs. Should weight be a deciding factor, the Sun Joe SBJ597E is worth a look at just 3.9 lbs.
- Forced air exiting this blower has been clocked at a maximum speed of 250 MPH, positioning the WG518 at the forefront in terms of air velocity among electric handheld blowers. 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.
