Zoom on the Worx WG585
The Worx WG585
The Worx WG585 is a cordless handheld blower that is best suited to homeowners with yards that fall in the mid-size range, suitable for seasonal cleanup and routine care.
It is capable of expelling a maximum air volume of 620 cubic feet per minute (CFM). Its air speed is rated at 125 MPH. In practice, it should move both scattered leaves and larger piles across yard areas, while also clearing heavier debris such as acorns, pine cones, or pine needles on patios or driveways.
This cordless blower is powered by a 40V brushless motor, allowing unrestricted movement during use. Worx claims that it can deliver power of a 27-cc gas blower. It comes with two 20V 4.0Ah batteries, and all batteries are required for operation. When fully charged, they should provide up to 40 minutes of runtime.
The Worx WG585 boasts 3 speed settings and a turbo button, granting users control over airflow intensity for diverse tasks.
This cordless handheld blower weighs 3.8 lbs without the batteries and 6.6 lbs with them, enabling one-handed control of airflow.

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).
- With a bare tool weight of 3.8 lbs, the Worx WG585 sits at the lower end of the scale for 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.
- Upon exiting the nozzle, the air can reach speeds of up to 125 MPH, which is on the lower end for battery-operated handheld blowers between 36 and 48V. For the fastest air speed in this category, you may want to consider the Makita GBU03ZV, which can expell air at a velocity that can reach 487 MPH.
- Regarding its air volume, the Worx WG585 boasts an impressive airflow that can reach 620 CFM (Cubic Foot per Minute). This places it amongst the most powerful cordless handheld blowers with a comparable voltage. If air volume is important to you, the Ryobi RY40HPLB01K, with 800 CFM, could be in your good books.
- Users can anticipate a maximum autonomy of 40 minutes from its battery, suggesting that the WG585'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. With its current setup, the Worx WG585 offers a lower level of runtime efficiency compared to the other compared battery-powered handheld models. 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.
Here's a list of the most popular specific comparisons:
