Description
Zoom on the Worx WG583
The Worx WG583 is a cordless handheld blower that is appropriate for homeowners with residential properties where lawns or gardens fall between a quarter and half an acre.
It is capable of expelling a maximum air volume of 350 cubic feet per minute (CFM). Its air speed is rated at 185 miles per hour (MPH). In practice, this blower should move scattered leaves across yard areas and patios with concentrated airflow.
With a 40V brushless motor, the WG583 functions as a cordless blower, offering freedom of movement. It comes with two 20V 4.0Ah batteries, and all batteries are required for operation. When fully charged, they should provide up to 30 minutes of runtime.
The Worx WG583 boasts 2 speed settings, granting users control over airflow intensity for diverse tasks.
This cordless handheld blower weighs 5.5 lbs as a bare tool and 8.4 lbs with the two batteries installed, while still being suited for one-handed operation with controlled airflow.
The WG583 doubles up as a vacuum, allowing you to collect leaves into a storage bag (9 gallon bag included). Building on the vacuum setting, this blower’s 12:1 mulching ratio efficiently converts 12 bags of leaves into a single bag of mulch during collection. The unit uses a plastic impeller.

The Worx WG583's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Worx WG583 compare with handheld leaf blowers of similar voltage (between 36 and 48V).
- In its category of cordless handheld blowers in the 36 to 48V range, the Worx WG583 delivers an average bare tool weight build at 5.5 lbs. Should weight be a deciding factor, the Black+Decker LSW40C is worth a look at just 2.4 lbs the bare tool.
- It can propel air from the nozzle at speeds going up to 185 MPH, placing it at the top of its class for air velocity among battery-operated handheld blowers between 36 and 48V. If you wish to benefit from air expelled at the fastest possible speed, the Husqvarna 350iB and its 200 MPH could be an option to consider.
- With an airflow capacity of 350 CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute), the Worx WG583 falls towards the lower spectrum among cordless handheld blowers with a comparable voltage. For the highest air volume, you may want to have a look at the Husqvarna 350iB, which boasts with 800 CFM.
- Users can anticipate a maximum autonomy of 30 minutes from its battery, suggesting that the WG583's runtime is below average among cordless handheld units. To enjoy the best possible autonomy in this category, you could have a look at the Stihl BGA 200 which offers up to 535 minutes of runtime.
- Because larger batteries naturally increase runtime, it can be helpful to consider runtime efficiency, a measure of how effectively a blower uses the energy available. The Worx WG583 shows relatively low runtime efficiency, providing fewer minutes of operation for each unit of battery power. If you are focused on getting more use per charge, the Stihl BGA 50 offers the highest runtime efficiency, at 0.8 minutes per Wh.
Price comparison
As you can see from these interactive charts, when compared to other 36-48V cordless blowers, the Worx WG583 is on the average side of the price range.
Therefore, this blower nicely fits in the expected budget for this kind of product.

One thing you’ll notice that they bury in their descriptions is on how long a fully charged battery will last. Isn’t that kind of funny and a litle deceptive..
