Description
Zoom on the Worx WG583
The Worx WG583
With its cordless handheld design, the Worx WG583 is appropriate for homeowners with residential properties where lawns or gardens fall between a quarter and half an acre.
It is rated for a max air volume of 350 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and a max air speed of 185 MPH. This balance means it can handle smaller piles of leaves efficiently across yard sections, patios, or garden paths.
Equipped with a 40V brushless motor, the unit operates on battery power for untethered use. 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.
With 2 speed settings, this blower’s output can be set to meet the needs of jobs big or small.
With a bare tool weight of 5.5 lbs and 8.4 lbs with the two batteries, this handheld unit can be guided with one hand to direct airflow where needed.
With its versatile design, the WG583 can transition from blower to vacuum, letting you tidy up leaves efficiently (9 gallon bag included). With its vacuum function engaged, this mulcher’s mulching ratio of 12:1 can condense 12 bags of leaves into a single bag of mulch while in use. 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).
- Weighing 5.5 lbs without the battery, the Worx WG583 is comparable in weight to most cordless handheld blowers in the 36 to 48V range. Should weight be a deciding factor, the Black+Decker LSW40C is worth a look at just 2.4 lbs the bare tool.
- Forced air exiting this blower has been clocked at a max speed of 185 MPH. This puts the WG583 ahead of the pack as far as air speed is concerned in 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.
- At 350 CFM (cubic feet per minute), its airflow output is modest 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 RY40HPLB01K, which boasts with 800 CFM.
- When fully charged, the WG583 offers up to 30 minutes of autonomy, which may be considered relatively short compared to cordless handheld units of comparable voltage. 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.
- Runtime alone doesn’t always tell the full story because it depends heavily on battery capacity. Runtime efficiency can give a clearer picture by showing how much work you get per unit of battery power. 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..
