The Worx WG585's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Worx WG585 compare with handheld leaf blowers of similar voltage (between 36 and 48V).
- Exiting the nozzle, the air can reach speeds of up to 125 MPH, which falls on the lower end for battery-operated handheld blowers. For the fastest air speed in this category, you may want to consider the Husqvarna 350iB, which can expell air at a velocity that can reach 200 MPH.
- If air volume is an important feature, the WG585 by Worx will not disappoint. Its airflow maxes out at 620 CFM (cubic feet per minute), which is more powerful than most cordless handheld blowers with a comparable voltage. If air volume is important to you, the Husqvarna 350iB, with 800 CFM, could be in your good books.
- The WG585 is within the average range for cordless handheld units that operate between 36 and 48V, offering up to 45 minutes of running time when fully charged. If autonomy is an important factor for you, the Makita CBU01Z can run for up to 300 minutes and could be worth considering.
