Description
Unusual design, unusually-good results. The in-line motor provides the power of a larger leaf blower while allowing the tool to remain compact. The Variable Air Control Nozzle lets you choose between more air volume, or more airspeed.
Zoom on the Worx WG543
With its cordless handheld design, the Worx WG543 is suited for homeowners with yards that fall in the mid-size range, suitable for seasonal cleanup and routine care.
It is capable of expelling a maximum air volume of 400 cubic feet per minute (CFM). Its air speed is rated at 125 MPH. Practically, this means the blower should handle large amounts of leaves across yards, patios, or driveways while also having enough speed to move damp leaves, acorns, or small twigs.
This cordless blower is powered by a 20V brushless motor, allowing unrestricted movement during use. It comes with one 4.0Ah battery which can provide up to 30 minutes of runtime on a full charge.
Users can customize airflow intensity with the 2 speed settings of the Worx WG543, offering power versatility for any job.
At 2.3 lbs (bare tool) and 3.8 lbs with the battery, the blower’s handheld design lets the operator lift and aim it with one hand.

The Worx WG543's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Worx WG543 compare with handheld leaf blowers of similar voltage (between 18 and 24V).
- The Worx WG543 stands at 2.3 lbs (bare tool), which represents the lightest bare tool weight you’ll find in the cordless handheld blowers in the 18 to 24V range.
- Forced air exiting this blower has been clocked at a maximum speed of 125 MPH, positioning the WG543 at the forefront in terms of air velocity among battery-operated handheld blowers between 18 and 24V. If you wish to benefit from air expelled at the fastest possible speed, the Makita XBU07SM1 and its 143 MPH could be an option to consider.
- Regarding its air volume, the Worx WG543 boasts an impressive airflow that can reach 400 CFM (Cubic Foot per Minute). This places it amongst the most powerful cordless handheld blowers with a comparable voltage. If air volume is important to you, the Dewalt DCBL724W1, with 550 CFM, could be in your good books.
- The autonomy of the WG543 aligns with the industry standard for cordless handheld units in the 18V to 24V range, offering up to 30 minutes of operation when fully charged. If autonomy is an important factor for you, the Ryobi PBLLB01K can run for up to 60 minutes and could be worth considering.
- While runtime is an important metric, it is closely tied to battery capacity. To understand performance more clearly, it’s also useful to look at runtime efficiency, how long the unit runs relative to its battery size. At its measured figures, the Worx WG543 provides an average runtime efficiency, similar to many battery-powered handheld blowers. If runtime efficiency matters most to you, you might look at the Ryobi ONE+ SWEEPER P2102, which delivers a higher runtime efficiency of 1.28 minutes per Wh.
