Description
Overview of the Worx WG572
- Power: The Worx WG572 can force 800 cubic feet of air per minute (CFM) from its nozzle at a maximum speed of 150 MPH.
- Power delivery: If you don’t like dealing with cords, you will be delighted to know that this blower is equipped with a brushless, battery-operated motor.
- Battery: The Worx WG572 is powered by Base Camp, a removable power system that is powered by four 20V Power Share batteries and offers up to 230 minutes of runtime. The unit comes with four 20V 4.0Ah batteries, yielding a total of 80V. All 4 batteries are required for operation.
- Handling: As this unit is a backpack leaf blower, the majority of the unit is distributed so that the user can operate it with ease for most reasonable periods of use. Its throttle is located on the tube, which allows you to keep your left hand free. However, for an electric backpack blower, the Worx WG572 is heavier than most, weighing 23.6 lbs.
- Speed Settings: There are times when you only need a little more power, while other times you will want a bit more precision when clearing leaves and debris. For this purpose, the WG572 offers variable speed settings, adding you, the user, more control, and a cruise control mode, which will allow you to maintain it comfortably for as long as you wish.
- Noise: With a decibel rating of 83 dB, the WG572 is neither louder nor quieter than its rivals in the electric backpack category.

The Worx WG572's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Worx WG572 compare with similar leaf blowers.
- Forced air leaving this blower’s nozzle has been clocked at 150 MPH. That makes the WG572 average in terms of air speed for battery-operated backpack blowers. If you wish to benefit from air expelled at the fastest possible speed, the EGO LBPX8000 and its 190 MPH could be an option to consider.
- Regarding its air volume, the Worx WG572 boasts an impressive airflow that can reach 800 CFM (Cubic Foot per Minute). This makes it one of the most powerful cordless backpack blowers.
- Thanks to its autonomy of up to 230 mins, the WG572 benefits from a higher run time than many cordless backpack units. If autonomy is an important factor for you, the Makita CBU02Z can run for up to 240 minutes and could be worth considering.
