Zoom on the Worx WG572
The Worx WG572
The Worx WG572 is a cordless backpack blower that is appropriate for homeowners with a typical home yard ranging from about a quarter to half an acre as well as professionals working across several client grounds.
It features a maximum air speed of 150 MPH and a maximum air volume rating of 800 cubic feet per minute (CFM). These values mean that it should manage everyday yard leaves rather efficiently, but also have the power to handle denser material or small piles of heavier debris across lawns, patios, and garden paths.
Featuring an 80V brushless motor, the unit provides cordless operation, allowing you to operate with great mobility. 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.
With its variable speed settings and turbo button, the Worx WG572 allows you to precisely control its air output. In addition, the blower is also equipped with cruise control, with which the user can easily maintain the selected settings.
Weighing 17.2 lbs without the four batteries and 23.6 lbs with them, wearing the blower on the back keeps it stable and allows for longer operation while guiding airflow with one hand on the tube. Its throttle is located on the tube, which allows to keep the left hand free.

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 other cordless backpack leaf blowers.
- Among other cordless backpack blowers in the 60 to 80V range, the Worx WG572 has a typical bare tool weight of 17.2 lbs. Should weight be a deciding factor, the Greenworks Pro BPB80L2510 is worth a look at just 9.4 lbs the bare tool.
- Maxing out at 150 MPH, this blower ranks on the lower end in terms of air speed for battery-operated backpack blowers. For the fastest air speed in this category, you may want to consider the Stihl BRA 600, which can expell air at a velocity that can reach 253 MPH.
- Regarding its air volume, the airflow of the Worx WG572 can reach 800 CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute), which is on par with other cordless backpack blowers with a comparable voltage. If air volume is important to you, the Senix BLBX6-M, with 950 CFM, could be in your good books.
- 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 Toro Revolution 66100 can run for up to 330 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 WG572 provides an average runtime efficiency, similar to many battery-powered backpack blowers. If runtime efficiency matters most to you, you might look at the Toro Revolution 66100, which delivers a higher runtime efficiency of 0.28 minutes per Wh.
Price comparison
As you can see from these interactive charts, when compared to other 60-80V cordless backpack blowers, the Worx WG572 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.
