Description
Overview of the Worx WG545.1
- Power: The WG545.1, manufactured by Worx, is a cordless blower with a maximum air speed of 120 MPH and a maximum air volume rating of 80 CFM.
- Power delivery: As it is battery-operated, it doesn't need to be plugged in and therefore allows superb freedom of movement.
- Battery: It has 2 Ah 20 V Li-ion battery (1 WA3525 battery combo included) that should work reliably for up to 20 minutes if completely charged.
- Handling: It’s handheld, so naturally it’s easier to handle and carry than larger leaf blowers, such as backpack models or walk-behinds. The Worx WG545.1 distinguishes itself among cordless handheld blowers with its lower weight of 3.5 lbs, battery included.
- Speed Settings: As with similar models of its class, this leaf blower has just one operating speed.
- Noise: At 61 dB, the noise produced by the WG545.1 is in line with what you'd expect from other electric handheld blowers.

The Worx WG545.1's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Worx WG545.1 compare with handheld leaf blowers of similar voltage (between 18 and 24V).
- Forced air exiting this blower has been clocked at a maximum speed of 120 MPH, positioning the WG545.1 at the forefront in terms of air velocity among battery-operated handheld blowers. 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.
- It’s capable of expelling a maximum air volume of 80 CFM (cubic feet per minute). This places it at the low end compared to other cordless handheld blowers with a comparable voltage. For the highest air volume, you may want to have a look at the Ryobi PBLLB01K, which boasts with 510 CFM.
- Users can expect a maximum autonomy of 20 minutes from its battery, which means the WG545.1 won't run as long as many other cordless handheld units before needing to be plugged in. To enjoy the best possible autonomy in this category, you could have a look at the Ryobi PBLLB01K which offers up to 60 minutes of runtime.
Price comparison
As you can see from these interactive charts, when compared to other cordless blowers, the Worx WG545.1 is on the cheap side of the price range.
It can therefore be a really good buy if you're looking to acquire a budget blower.
